Lloyd Webber used Puccini as a 'model'? It shouldn't surprised me. Puccini isn't the most respected composer, but his melodies are some of the greatest ever written, part of the reason people are still talking about him, and not Bruno. Nicholas from Keller, TxI don't see you producing any operas with such universal success as Madama Butterfly, La Boheme, Manon Lescaut, or Turandot.Luigi Camperchioli from Valley Village, CaWow, by calling Puccini's music 'trash' you just showed how much you know about opera.Chae from Chicago, IlI like how the melody is used over and over.I mean, one can tire of 'dum-dum-dum-DUM' from his 5th.Īnd yeah, ALW apparently did steal the tune, but I don't care. But you have to admit, he is a little overrated. The movie's pretty good, but absolutely nothing beats the original 1986 London cast in my opinion.īy the way, wake up, Bruno, Beethoven is very overrated. Dominic from San Francisco, CaThe Phantom of the Opera is my favorite musical.

This is the best movie in the entire world, and I can't wait for it to come to MN 2009!!! I'm EXTREMELY EXCITED!!!

ALW does a wonderful job, so screw the rest of you who think both are overrated. Rachel from Minneapolis, MnI love Phantom of the Opera! It is a good musical, with classic music.Bryan Weers from Battle Creek, MiThe part of Christine was written for Webber's then wife(and the person who played her in the London cast) Sarah Brightman.I'm so obsessed with it that I know the entire 2ct act by heart. Breanna from Henderson, NvI love this play it's absolutly amazing! I think it's totaly brillant! I always feel really sorry for the Phantom though.Megan from Stevenson, AlMy band played this as our opener for our halftime show last year! It was AMAZING! I love the movie too!!!.
