Am I terrible for not liking Lippa's very much? It just seems to miss the whole mark about the story and why I love it so much. Sara isn't supposed to be older, plus she was born in INDIA. Why the change to Africa? A bit off topic, but I've always questioned his version."
I won’t argue with any of that. I just like “Live Out

Horror can work on stage when done correctly. Phantom is mostly high romance and pageantry but it still has elements of horror and like Phantom The Woman in Black has been playing in the West End for eons.
I do hope they come up with some great artwork for this. It's a great show but a hard one to sell for sure. I loved the original artwork but I can certainly see how it may not have inspired ticket sales.

My Fair Lady is actually one of my favorite film musicals because they seemed to actually trust the material and just made a film of the musical without making too many changes or cuts. A vast majority of musical film adaptations didn’t receive the same respect and trust.

Beauty and the Beast, The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
There's also a deluxe edition of the original Broadway cast recording that includes bonus tracks of Sheldon Harnick describing the creation of the show as well as singing two cut songs one also on this album, "When Messiah Comes" and another that isn't featured on this album called "How Much Richer Could One Man Be?" It seems like they could have created a whole separate musical with all the songs that ended up getting cut from this show.

I kind of love this album and I wasn’t sure I would. It makes me want to seek out a cast recording of Evita in Spanish or Les Miserables in French.
