Phantom of the Opera is the longest-running, largest-grossing
musical of all time. This book is the story of the stage show,
film, and sequel, and the controversies that have surrounded them.
You will learn why: Sarah Brightman had to leave the UK after her
divorce from Lloyd Webber and how she became the highest paid
soprano in the world. Gerard Butler was cast as a "younger, hotter"
Phantom in the film, and why diehard fans thought he was not ugly
enough. Lloyd Webber ignored early warnings that fans would spurn a
sequel-a decision that cost him millions. A social media campaign
led to the demise of the Phantom sequel, and how it was reborn.
Phantom of the Opera: A Social History of the World's Most Popular
Musical is the first book that fully documents the history of a
musical now in its 31st year of a continual run that has become a
cultural force.
