The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Charles Hart. The book was originally published as a serialisation in The Daily Mirror newspaper, which ran from 23 September to 8 December 1909.
The musical debuted in London’s West End in 1986, and on Broadway in 1988. It won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1988 and the Olivier Award for Best Musical in 1986. The Phantom of the Opera was the longest-running musical in Broadway history until it was surpassed by The Lion King on 6 October 2006.
The Phantom of the Opera has been adapted into several film and television productions, including a 1925 silent film starring Lon Chaney Sr., a 1943 Universal Pictures color film starring Claude Rains, and a 1990 Cinergi Pictures/Universal Pictures film starring Gerard Butler as the Phantom.
