But the divorce of Sarah Brightman and Andrew Lloyd Webber had an impact on these plans and the project was put on hold.
The original stage version starred Michael Crawford as the Phantom and Sarah Brightman as Christine and in the late 80s when plans for a film version were first underway, this winning combination were set to repeat their stage roles. It is strange then that it has taken so long for the film version to appear. There have been 65,000 stage performances worldwide with 80 million people seeing this spectacle in person and 24 million copies of the original cast recording. The Phantom of the Opera is one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's greatest and most popular musicals. The music was also spectacular, with it all being produced live by both actors on stage and musicians in an orchestra, of many instruments from woodwind to percussion! Even the theatre in which the musical was performed in was expertly thought out, with Her Majesty's theatre in London being used, due to its baroque-style architecture, which was commonly used in the 1800s.The Phantom of the Opera - by Andrew Lloyd Webber The musical contained many elements such as lighting, sound and backdrops to emulate the scene of a 19th century opera house, and they were extremely successful in this. The scenes were tear-wrenching and thought-provoking- I must admit that I cried a lot, as the cast performed in such an emotional way and were so interconnected with each other in the moment by the piece of art that they were creating! The reason for why I would only recommend the musical to those over the age of 13 is that many scenes included were extremely intense, and depicted moments of violence and chilling obsession of the Phantom to the main protagonist, Christine. I had high expectations for the musical, due to having great past experiences of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals, and it exceeded these expectations greatly, with the Phantom of the Opera becoming my personal favourite quickly! Everything from the music, to the costuming was excellently carried out, with it being extremely memorable and iconic.
Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the Phantom of the Opera, however I would only recommend it to maturer audiences, of people over the age of 13. Some cursing but nothing beyond a PG movie.

This may even be a good movie to start that conversation with them.
In the end he relatively becomes a better person who lets Christine go, but again, you child should be able to comprehend the difference between lust and love. Some people get killed by the Phantom and he threatens to kill Christine's fiancé infront of her but he does not. There are some low cut dresses that are a representation of the time period and a man looks through a peephole into the girls dressingroom but none of the girls are indecent. So if your child is old enough to understand the elusive talk of "pleasures of the flesh" you should make sure they are mature enough to not think it is sweet but understand the wrong in how he behaves towards Christine. The whole concept of the story is that the Phantom wants to take Christine away with him to create music but also to be his lover. The Phantom himself may be a bit scary to look at in one scene, he has either a serious burn or a birth defect that is the reason for him wearing his mask, the special effects make it look very real and nasty. The music is so melodic and well written it doesn't make you feel the aggravation some other musicals do. Phantom of The Opera is a wonderfully dark musical that even people who don't like musicals will enjoy.
