"After discussing Gaston Leroux's original 1910 story, the work turns first to Phantom on film from Lon Chaney's 1925 Phantom through Dario Argento's 1998 film. Stage versions of Phantom are covered in detail, including Webber's spectacular 1986 production and its lesser-known predecessors and competitors, and those that followed. "--Provided by publisher.
