ALW and Joel Schumacher’s 2004 film version of The Phantom of the Opera is a brilliant reinvention of Gaston Leroux’s novel.
A tragic romance that has touched hearts and sparked imaginations across the globe. The casting is, in a word ideal.
From the new owners, so very without a clue, the over the top diva and her rotund, devoted protégé’, the all knowing, yet
secretive dance mistress, the naïve Christine, the arrogant Raoul, and the brilliant, talented genius who condemns his soul to
to a solitary existence as The Phantom of the Opera. Mr. Butler is the defining Phantom, brilliant, intense sensual and vulnerable. Despite the general lackluster reviews by the “professional” critics, this film, and the cast, has developed a near
cult-like following.

The 2004 ' Phantom of the Opera ' is an all time classic !!!
Bravissimo !!!
The Music of the Night will never be over Indeed !!!
I fell in love with it the first time I saw it! My friends tortured me by letting me see the first half, and then not being able to finish it for two weeks! Gerard Butler does such a great job of portraying the Phantom. I don't think the play can be any better than the movie! It really makes you think about everyone's goods and bads and how we sometimes can only see the bad!
I`d like to be locked in the dungeon with the Phantom. Gerard Butler is superb!

The Phantom Of The Opera 2004 is simply the most beautiful fantasy
film ever made. It has a truly amazing following and is still having privately requested screenings for charity evenings in theatres.
The cast were perfect and Joel Schumacher turned the wonderful stage show into a magnificent spectacle, more romantic than ever. Gerard Butler made the phantom an object of desire for thousands and thousands of women with his sympathetic and heartbreaking portrayal and his incredibly erotic screen presence.
The Music Of The Night Will Never Be Over.
