The score includes such tunes as "Think of Me," "The Music of the Night," "All I Ask of You," "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," "The Point of No Return" and the title tune. Gory remake of the Gaston Leroux classic story, only this time, the phantom is not disfigured, but a man who was raised by rats deep under the Paris Opera House. Once again, I believe the original in this venue was the best: Michael Crawford. Mysterious masked figure roams around the underground chambers of the Opera Populaire, a 19th century Parisian opera house. The second best 'Phantom' portrayal and wonderful in its own way is the STAGE musical, NOT the 2004 movie. The New York production ? originally starring Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman ? won six 1988 Tony Awards including one for Best Musical. For my next Phantom thrill, I'm looking forward to a full-size theater showing (usually found around Halloween) with complete theater organ accompaniment P.S. Harold Prince directed both the London and New York premieres. Filming is to begin next autumn in the United Kingdom.īased on the classic Gaston Leroux novel, The Phantom of the Opera features music by Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart and additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe. It retains much of the bravado, spectacle, depth, and gorgeous, haunting.

"Batman & Robin" helmer Joel Schumacher will direct the feature-film version and Austin Shaw, the managing director of Really Useful Films, is currently in Los Angeles to begin casting the projected $50-$60 million film. The Phantom of the Opera (2004) (18,234) 7.2 2 h X-Ray PG-13 From director Joel Schumacher comes this big-screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash-hit stage musical The Phantom, a disfigured musical genius. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is the most sumptuous, most beautiful movie of the year. Lloyd Webber recently bought the Phantom film rights back from Warner Bros., reports have revealed. He quickly escapes and then continues on his quest to find.
Banderas, who has already worked on a Lloyd Webber movie musical, as Che in 1996's "Evita," added about the composer "We have been in contact since the time that I did 'Evita,' talking about "Phantom." I was in London with him several times when Shekhar Kapur was attached to the project. On his way, Raoul falls into a flooding chamber, one of the many traps the Phantom has planted. He finally drives the lead soprano crazy so. (Other names that have been rumored include Hugh Jackman ? set to star on Broadway next season in The Boy From Oz). Begins when an opera ghost terrorizes the cast and crew of the French Opera House while tutoring a chorus girl. "If they need me or they think that I am the person to play that character on the big screen, I'll be there," said Banderas who is among a list of few mentioned to play the haunted character. The Phantom of the Opera is a 2004 musical romantic drama film based on Andrew Lloyd Webbers 1986 musical of the same name, which in turn is based on the 1910 French novel Le Fantôme de lOpéra by Gaston Leroux.
