| Along with "Les Miserables" and "Miss Saigon," "The Phantom of the Opera" is one of the true classics of the Broadway stage. "Phantom" features the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber in a lavish, well-staged, and downright creepy production. Set against the gothic backdrop of nineteenth-century France, the story takes place in the Paris Opera House. As the house opera company begins to recognize strange happenings above ground in the Opera House, the Phantom, who lives in the dark catacombs underneath, begins to surface, as do the many mixed emotions of the Paris Opera performers. It's one of the best musicals Broadway has to offer, and if you haven't seen it, you really haven't experienced Broadway. Find out now why it still receives a standing ovation every time. |
