However, you’re most likely thinking of the version by Andrew Lloyd Weber. While that musical is iconic in its own ways, there is another PHANTOM you can encounter in musical theatre. This version has music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and book by Arthur Kopit. This adaptation has been brought to life in Indianapolis by Beef & Boards, and it is a haunting yet exhilarating experience.

The haunting tale of the French novel The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux lifts off the pages and onto the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage in Phantom starting Oct. 7.

Within the attic of an insane asylum, in a time and place of little importance and for reasons unknown, eight women of history convene to discuss the business of their lives - shells of people who once embodied greatness, now pieced together by moments of nostalgia and hysteria. When all that was has been stripped away, these women are brought together to test their fate in the final act - that of survival. The absurdity of the world in which they live forces them to be as they always were, but spiral further and further down the rabbit hole of insanity - to simultaneously be and not to be.
