20. Phantom Of The Opera

The Phantom of the Opera is based on a novel by Gaston Leroux, and tells the story of a mysterious disfigured man that lives isolated underneath the Paris Opera House. His unrequited love for budding singer Christine pushes him to further her career at any cost, even murder. When the stage show premiered in 1986 Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman were in the lead roles. It was an astronomical success and was taken to Broadway in 1988.
