Phantom of the Opera, The (1988). A British musical based on Gaston Leroux's famous novel, it has a book by Richard Stilgoe and Andrew Lloyd
Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart, and music by Webber. The West End smash hit was quickly brought to America, where it opened at the
Majestic Theatre in 1988, and repeated its London success. Michael Crawford played the disfigured man who haunts the Paris Opera House and Sarah Brightman was Christine, the singer he adores and promotes. It continues to play to substantial crowds on Broadway and in numerous road companies. A different musical version of Leroux's tale, called
PHANTOM (1991), was written at the same time but, unable to compete with the Webber version on Broadway, opted to play in regional theatres. It has a book by Arthur
Kopit and a score by Maury
Yeston.
