Gaston Leroux's novel The Phantom of the Opera has perhaps its most well-known adaptation in this, Andrew Lloyd Webber's wildly successful musical. First produced in the West End in 1986, where it runs to this day, it debuted in 1988 on Broadway, where it ran for a record-breaking 35 years, before finally closing in April 2023.Like the novel it is based on, the musical is set in late 19th-century Paris and follows Christine Daaé, a promising young soprano whose life is turning around — not only has she just gotten the lead role in the opera house's new production, she has also reunited with her handsome childhood sweetheart, Raoul de Chagny. But Christine is also the obsession of the titular Phantom, a mysterious musical genius who resides in the subterranean depths of the Opera Populaire. The Phantom is dangerous and brilliant, and he is willing to go to great lengths to ensure the rise of Christine's career.Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman originated the roles of the Phantom and Christine in Webber's play. The musical was itself made into a movie in 2004 after years in Development Hell, starring Gerard Butler as the Phantom and Emmy Rossum as Christine. In 2011, London's Royal Albert Hall hosted a 25th anniversary staging that was released on video the following year, and starred Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom and Sierra Boggess as Christinenote both of whom originated the same roles in Webber's 2010 sequel Love Never Dies. It can be viewed here.Love Never Dies, a stage sequel by Webber, premiered in 2010. See also the famous 1925 silent film by Universal starring Lon Chaney, which gave Webber additional inspiration for the 1986 musical.

comment
Hotter and Sexier: Where "The Music of the Night" is full of careful metaphors, "The Point of No Return" abandons all pretense regarding Don Juan's desires — and, consequently, those of the Phantom. The lyrics are dark, intense and impassioned; the music goes from low and restive to surging with anticipation. However, it's the body language of the actors that speaks the loudest, as over the course of the song, Christine and the Phantom exchange numerous coy caresses far bolder than anything the musical has thus far permitted them.

The Gentleman or the Scoundrel: Raoul and the Phantom. The first is a lively, upright young nobleman who was once Christine's childhood playmate; the other is the enigmatic genius in a mask who lives under the opera house and clearly has more than a few screws loose. Choices, choices...

Long-Runners: Since 1986 in London and 1988 in New York City; to the point of being the longest-running show on Broadway until it closed in April 2023. (Les Misérables has got it licked by a year in London, and would have it similarly licked on Broadway had the Broadway version, which opened in 1987, a year before Phantom did, not closed in 2003.)

Shouting Free-for-All: "Notes / Prima Donna" and its reprise, "Notes / Twisted Every Way" are a musical version of this, with the opera's V.I.P.s all receiving threatening notes from the Phantom, accusing others of being in league with him, and arguing over what to do about it.

Anachronism Stew
 The Phantom of the Opera (Theatre) / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew: Musically speaking — the electric guitar that duels with the organ during the tag of the titular song. The synth snare in the same song is also pretty conspicuous. The Phantom's iconic fedora; while the musical is explicitly set in 1881, homburg hats — from which fedoras would develop — didn't rocket to popularity until the late 1880s. The Eiffel Tower can often be seen in the backdrop of the Paris skyline during "All I Ask Of You." Construction on the Eiffel Tower didn't begin until 1887. "The Point of No Return" has one right in its title. The phrase point of no return dates to 1941, referring to the point at which an airplane has used too much fuel to return to the location from which it departed.

Fourth-Date Marriage
 The Phantom of the Opera (Theatre) / int_35e077
comment
Fourth-Date Marriage: it's not clear how much time elapses over the course of the first actnote Christine has her first aria, "Think Of Me," and then absconds with the Phantom. The next morning, he decrees that, "in the new production of Il Muto," Christine and Carlotta should swap roles. The next scene is said opera in performance, but how long did it take the Opera Populaire to assemble it?, but Christine and Raoul pledge their love to one another in their second scene together. True, they may have been hanging out during rehearsals; true, they were childhood friends; but it's still only the second interaction of theirs made privy to the audience. By their third scene together, they are in fact engaged, although the six-month Time Skip lends a bit more credibility to this development.

Anguished Declaration of Love
 The Phantom of the Opera (Theatre) / int_361a1d26
comment
Anguished Declaration of Love: The Phantom to Christine in the final scene. He's already heartbroken after releasing Raoul and telling them to flee together, and even when she reappears onstage to give him back his ring, he knows she will never stay with him. He clasps her hand with the ring inside it and sings softly, "Christine, I love you ..." Different productions have Christine respond to this in different ways. Sometimes she gives him a Long Last Look before running away. Sometimes she briefly clasps his fingers in return. In the 25th anniversary production at the Royal Albert Hall, Christine, weeping, bends over the Phantom's hand and kisses it in a farewell gesture of profound respect and gratitude. In the very last Broadway performance, the actress playing Christine (Emilie Kouatchou) whispered, "I love you too."

Original Cast Precedent
 The Phantom of the Opera (Theatre) / int_38647237
comment
Original Cast Precedent: In every replica production of the theatrical Phantom (and most non-replica ones) Christine has brown or nearly black hair (despite the fact that in the book, Christine is a classic Swedish blonde); the original West End Christine, Sarah Brightman, has very dark hair. Other inspiration may have come from the 1925 film, in which Mary Philbin has dark hair. Really Useful Group has also been known to keep a tight leash on character designs and appearances, so Executive Meddling may come into play here. Averted with Emmi Christensson, current alternate in the West End production, who is actually Swedish and has been given a blonde wig. Averted again with Celinde Schoenmaker, who has been given a much lighter wig for Christine, just not pure blonde like Emmi. Also averted in the Hungarian, Swedish and Finnish productions, where Christine is always blonde.

The Eleven O'Clock Number
 The Phantom of the Opera (Theatre) / int_3fb5ab75
comment
The Eleven O'Clock Number: "The Point of No Return," both in- and out-of-universe, serves as a turning point for the characters. Within the story of Don Juan Triumphant, it is the moment Don Juan's seduction plot must either fail or succeed, and the moment his prospective lover, Aminta, declares that she won't go back on her decision no matter what the consequences may be. It is also the moment that Christine and the Phantom try to out-gambit each other: Christine by luring him into a trap, the Phantom with his own attempt at seduction (and then, when that fails, abduction).

Villainous Crush: The story is set in motion by the Phantom's love and passion for Christine. If he'd never grown so attached to her, he never would have tried to terrorize the opera house into advancing her career — or made them stage the opera he wrote himself, which was intended to lead Christine back into his arms.

Incredibly Long Note
 The Phantom of the Opera (Theatre) / int_44cf7d2c
comment
Incredibly Long Note: The last stretch of "The Phantom of the Opera" involves Christine vocalizing a series of very high and long notes, demonstrating (a) what the Phantom has taught her and (b) how he puts her in a near-hypnotized state. Being able to hold a clear and steady note at the proper pitch for so long means that Christine's part is only for the best sopranos. The Phantom gets a long note to cap off "The Music of the Night". In some live productions, the Count does this during Il Muto. Bonus points for also being an incredibly low note. "You will curse the day you did not doooooo all that the Phantom asked of yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooou!"

Paper-Thin Disguise
 The Phantom of the Opera (Theatre) / int_48b9731f
comment
Paper-Thin Disguise: In "The Point of No Return," the Phantom switches places with Piangi by donning his cloak and cowl costume. Some Phantom actors go the extra mile by imitating Piangi's Italian accent for the duration of the song, which makes it just about plausible that no one notices until too late, but the Phantom's voice timbre is much different from Piangi's, and he's about a hundred pounds lighter besides. This is why in "Notes" the Phantom instructs Piangi to lose some weight, so he can better imitate him. Some productions will remove padding from Piangi's costume to help with this.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall
 The Phantom of the Opera (Theatre) / int_4a3e547f
comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Naturally, as the story takes place in an opera house. When the Phantom cuts loose the chandelier and sends it hurtling into the audience, it makes a wide swing toward the stage, narrowly missing the front rows. Whenever he publicly terrorizes one of the in-story performances, his voice can be heard echoing from anywhere in the real theatre. When the opera house is being secured for the performance of Don Juan Triumphant, the sound of doors slamming and firemen shouting "Secure!" can be heard throughout the theatre. The officer whom Raoul instructs to wait in the orchestra pit stands up in front of the real orchestra pit. When the Phantom shouts, "DID I NOT INSTRUCT THAT BOX FIVE WAS TO BE LEFT EMPTY?!", the audience members actually sitting in Box Five will get a nice little surprise. There's a speaker set up in there.

Laughing Mad: The Phantom does this in Il Muto when he screws with Carlotta's voice, and then again when he hangs Joseph Buquet above the ballet dancers for the horrified audience to see. In many productions, he engages in this after his reprise of "All I Ask of You" before dropping the chandelier.

Dramatic Necklace Removal: The Phantom — having crashed the opera house's masquerade ball dressed as the Red Death — rips the engagement ring from Christine's neck, neatly demonstrating what he thinks of her espousal.

Pragmatic Adaptation: In the book, the Phantom has a face resembling a skull, accurately recreated in the 1925 film by Lon Chaney. The deformity was changed in the musical as applying such make-up would take too long to apply for a live-show and it would have hindered an actor's singing ability.

Big Damn Kiss: The one shared by Christine and the Phantom is probably the most famous example in all musical theatre. Instead of answering his ultimatum — her hand in marriage, or Raoul's life — she calmly walks up to him, turns him around and kisses him full on the mouth, accompanied by swelling, impassioned music. The Phantom is so stunned that he can barely raise his hands to return her embrace.

Hero vs. Villain Duet
 The Phantom of the Opera (Theatre) / int_8adccc77
comment
Hero vs. Villain Duet: The title song is a duet shared between Christine and the Phantom when he abducts her to his underground lair. Christine sings about her experiences with her mysterious music teacher and the hold he has on her mind, while the Phantom encourages her fascination and, once they arrive, commands her to sing for him. This piece serves to illustrate what their relationship was like until the night of the gala. The line between in-universe fiction and reality is blurred in "The Point of No Return," where Christine and the Phantom, each playing a role in the climactic scene of Don Juan Triumphant, sing a sensuous duet that both plays off their romantic tension and builds anticipation for their inevitable final confrontation.

Different productions have Christine respond to this in different ways. Sometimes she gives him a Long Last Look before running away. Sometimes she briefly clasps his fingers in return. In the 25th anniversary production at the Royal Albert Hall, Christine, weeping, bends over the Phantom's hand and kisses it in a farewell gesture of profound respect and gratitude. In the very last Broadway performance, the actress playing Christine (Emilie Kouatchou) whispered, "I love you too."

Ascended Extra: In the original novel, Meg Giry only shows up briefly in the first three chapters and never interacts with any of the main characters. In the show, although she's definitely a secondary character, she's promoted to being Christine's best friend. Likewise, Madame Giry in the novel was a superstitious, somewhat silly concierge whom the Phantom flattered into becoming his accomplice with chocolates and generous tips. In the musical, she's a severe ballet mistress and much more aware of the Phantom's true nature. Near the climax, she shows Raoul the way to the underground lair beneath the opera. Christine is an in-story example of this, since she becomes a last-minute understudy for the opera's prima donna in Hannibal, the musical's first Show Within a Show.

Evolving Music: In "Angel of Music," Meg notes, "Your face, Christine, it's white," suggesting that Christine's enraptured state isn't good for her health. In productions where dark-skinned actresses play Christine, however (i.e., when Lucy St Louis and Emilie Kouatchou took over the role in London and New York respectively), the lyrics are modified appropriately. The London version also changes the next two lines to keep the original rhyme scheme:

Oh, Crap!: When Christine is deep in character in the middle of "The Point of No Return," she's running her hands over "Don Juan's" covered face — and clearly feels the edge of a very familiar mask.

Masking the Deformity
 The Phantom of the Opera (Theatre) / int_af8cc2e9
comment
Masking the Deformity: Taking a cue from the earlier film adaptations, the musical Erik is Two-Faced, again due to birth deformity rather than injury; this allows his disfigurement to be covered by a half-mask, which is easier to for the actor playing him on stage to sing and see through.note  This was changed partway through production, indicated by the famous marketing using a whole-face mask. This half-mask in turn became very iconic and is often since referenced in other instances of this trope. The exact nature of the masked half of his face varies from production to production. One version notably even had the half mask be part of a larger mask that hid the entire head.

In every replica production of the theatrical Phantom (and most non-replica ones) Christine has brown or nearly black hair (despite the fact that in the book, Christine is a classic Swedish blonde); the original West End Christine, Sarah Brightman, has very dark hair. Other inspiration may have come from the 1925 film, in which Mary Philbin has dark hair. Really Useful Group has also been known to keep a tight leash on character designs and appearances, so Executive Meddling may come into play here.

Instead of agreeing to marry him — or refusing outright, which would have forfeited Raoul's life — she kisses him, thereby allowing him to experience compassion and human warmth for the first time ever. The Phantom realizes that he can't force her to marry him and releases them both.

Show Within a Show: Several. Hannibal, a parody of grand late classical operas like those of Meyerbeer and Gluck. Il Muto, an obvious parody of Mozart. Don Juan Triumphant, Sir Andrew's spoof on serialism in modern opera, overwrought with dissonance and bathing in clichés.

Big "NO!": The Phantom usually lets one out when Christine sneaks up to him and pulls off his mask in the first lair scene. He rounds on her and gives chase, snarling and cursing her for a "prying Pandora."

Grew a Spine: Christine over the course of the show. While at the beginning of the story she is almost too shy to sing in front of an audience, later on she stands up for herself to the likes of Carlotta and the Phantom himself.

No Name Given: The Phantom. Funnily enough, there was another musical called Phantom released around the same time as this one, which does refer to him by name: Erik, the name he chose for himself in the original novel.

comment
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It's left ambiguous as to whether this version of the Phantom truly has supernatural abilities. A few of his tricks, like the mirror passage, are understandable in-universe, but the rest (e.g., making the piano play by itself during rehearsals, shooting fireballs at Raoul in the graveyard, making the gates in his lair rise and fall with merely a gesture, apparently vanishing and teleporting at will) are given no practical explanation.

Casting Couch: Carlotta accuses Raoul of forging the notes signed "O.G.," which demand that Christine get the lead in the next production, because he and Christine are lovers. She's not totally off base; Raoul didn't write the notes, but the Phantom, who did, is very much obsessed with Christine.

Race Lift: In the early 90's, Robert Guillaume became the first African-American actor to play the Phantom when he replaced Michael Crawford in the Los Angeles production. Norm Lewis became the second—and Broadway's first—after 26 years in 2014, Derrick Davis became the third and Quentin Oliver Lee the fourth (both as part of the US tour). Meanwhile, Margaret Ann Gates was the first Asian Christine in the Toronto production while Ali Edwolt was the first on Broadway, Jordan Donica was the first African-American Raoul, and Patricia Phillips the first African-American Carlotta. Following the pandemic-forced shutdown, the London and Broadway productions finally cast black actresses in the role of Christine, for a total of six thus far, with Lucy St. Louis as London's 1st, Beatrice Penny Toure, Paige Blankson, and Chumisa Dunford-May as the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th,respectively, as understudies/alternates—along with Michelle Cornelius as the first black Madame Giry—while Emilie Koautchou debuted as Broadway's 1st (first as the alternate, then as the main one from January 26, 2022 through the show's closing in April 2023), followed by understudy/alternate Kanisha Marie Feliciano as the 2nd (and first Afro-Latina).

Pointy-Haired Boss: Played with when it comes to Andre and Firmin. They're not entirely incompetent, per se — they do know how to run the opera house and what's most likely to get customers in seats, as well as winging it when the Phantom ruins Carlotta's singing — but they're really in way over their heads and defer to Raoul during the climax in order to get things done.

Kill and Replace: The Phantom does this to Piangi during the premiere of Don Juan Triumphant, silently garroting him behind a curtain and taking his place onstage with Christine for "The Point of No Return." Don Juan's costume in this scene, a long black cloak with a cowl, conceals his identity until Christine unmasks him.

Dark Reprise: The Phantom has several. He reprises "All I Ask Of You" at the end of Act I, swearing revenge upon Christine and Raoul after overhearing them declare their love to one another. He also tearfully reprises "Masquerade" in the last scene, when Christine and Raoul leave him to his fate. The musical's final line is his despairing reprise of "The Music of the Night."

Dark and Troubled Past: The Phantom's life before he took refuge in the Opera Populaire is implied to have been a lonely and miserable one, as his fellow human beings would have at best reviled him and at worst hunted him down like a monster. According to Madame Giry, he was once the prisoner of a travelling freak show, which would make anyone afraid of exposure and mockery.
