The Phantom of the Opera features music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe, and a book by Webber and Stilgoe. Songs like the title track and “Masquerade” are now theatrical staples: Just try not to leave the theatre singing “Beware, the Phantom of the Opera” or “Think of me, think of me fondly.” Surprisingly, though, Phantom did not win the Best Book of a Musical or Best Original Score Tonys — they lost both to another musical theatre giant: Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Into the Woods.
The history of The Phantom of the Opera technically stretches back to 1910, when French author Gaston Leroux published the horror novel the musical is based on. That novel also received two film adaptations, in 1925 and 1943, which also inspired the Phantom musical. Webber conceived the stage show in 1985, and the production premiered in London’s West End in 1986 after an initial reading in Sydmonton, Webber’s English hometown, in 1985.
The Phantom of the Opera opened in New York in 1988 and became Broadway’s longest-running show on January 9, 2006. The musical is also the first Broadway show in history to play 8,000 performances, 9,000 performances, and so on through 13,000.
