REVIEWS
"It's fantastic, fabulous and phantasmagorical! From the
eerily flickering lights that greet you outside Her
Majesty's Theatre to the last, glorious curtain call,
Andrew Lloyd Webber's long-awaited new musical,
Phantom of the Opera, is a triumph."
John Blake, Daily Mirror, 10th October, 1986
"Four words sum up the unstoppable success of Andrew
Lloyd Webber's triumphant re-working of this vintage
spine-tingling melodrama. Stars, spectacle, score and
story."
Jack Tinker, Daily Mail, 10th October, 1986
