Phantom of the Opera marks forty years on stage
Original: Forty years of the Phantom of the Opera - the show that wouldn’t die: ‘People come back to hear the impossible’ https://
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera is marking its 40th anniversary, with the Guardian looking back at the musical that has proved remarkably durable. The piece, referencing producers Cameron Mackintosh and Lloyd Webber, describes a show audiences return to repeatedly, drawn back by its spectacle and famous score despite decades of predictions that its run would end.
Why now: The show's 40th anniversary has prompted retrospective coverage of its extraordinary longevity.
