Phantom of the Opera Musical theatre is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting, and dance. The story and emotional content of a musical – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through the words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Although musical theatre overlaps with other theatrical forms like opera and dance, it may be distinguished by the equal importance given to the music as compared with the dialogue, movement and other elements. Since the early 20th century, musical theatre stage works have generally been called, simply, musicals. A British musical based on Gaston Lerouxs famous novel, it has a book by Richard Stilgoe and Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart, and music by Webber. The West End smash hit was quickly brought to America, where it opened at the Majestic Theatre in 1988, and repeated its London success.
