Summary
From the original libretto of Andrew Lloyd Webber's world-famous， multi-award-winning musical that has been playing continuously around the world for over 33 years comes this fully authorized graphic novel adaptation。
In 1881 the cast and crew of a new production， Hannibal， are terrorized by the Phantom of the Opera， a mysterious， hideously disfigured man who lives beneath the Paris Opera House。 Hopelessly in love and obsessed with one of the chorus singers， the Phantom will stop at nothing to make her the star of the show， even if that means murder。

Having once upon a time seen a graphic novel of the original （https://www。goodreads。com/review/show。。。）， it's very interesting to see this， the graphic novel book of the stage show。 And yes， this is just as full-on 80s， cheese， Meatloaf video， OTT bonkersness as we'd want。 （In other words， yes – the boat does float through a gazillion tea-lights， for neither rhyme nor reason。） In actual fact， there are instances of the book trying to outdo the stage version – sconces are skeletons emerging from Having once upon a time seen a graphic novel of the original （https://www。goodreads。com/review/show。。。）， it's very interesting to see this， the graphic novel book of the stage show。 And yes， this is just as full-on 80s， cheese， Meatloaf video， OTT bonkersness as we'd want。 （In other words， yes – the boat does float through a gazillion tea-lights， for neither rhyme nor reason。） In actual fact， there are instances of the book trying to outdo the stage version – sconces are skeletons emerging from the walls， and the whole descent to the Phantom's S&M dungeon features a whole Escher staircase， and more colossal wrecks than Ozymandias ever laid claim to。There's also an actual benefit here， that I'd not realised until I got to the first major bicker at the Phantom's demands – you can actually see the script， and not have six people shriek different lines at you at the same time in an unintelligible mess。 Fans of the songs， however， may object to them being cropped – the whole 'Masquerade' number is over in one double-page spread， leading to that entrance。 Visually， we're sticking pretty much to the design of the stage show， from the opera house's rooftop statuary to the ballet mistress's dowdiness。 Only her buxom charges break with tradition。So， questions do remain – would this work as a souvenir of the stage version， or make a graphic novel fan of someone who knows it note for note？ Probably not。 Would it entice someone to check the live act out， given the liveliness of what we have here？ That remains to be seen。 Is it a worthwhile substitute， allowing one the inside look at the Lloyd Webber staging？ Again， that's probably a no – one certain fatality here had a splash page yes， but none of the shock of the real deal。 But none of that is to deny the success of what we get here – the lyrics actually succeeding in telling the story in print just as when they're sung， the whole piece given a sharpness and clarity the musical can be lacking， and the whole thing doing what it set out to do， without the hammy music。 Try it – that's all they ask of you。 。。。more

still can't believe that ALW made Christine entertain romantic thoughts about sewer man when in Gaston Leroux's original， the relationship between her and the Phantom was one of abuser and abused 😃 still can't believe that ALW made Christine entertain romantic thoughts about sewer man when in Gaston Leroux's original， the relationship between her and the Phantom was one of abuser and abused 😃 。。。more
