 The Other Phantom November 19, 2008
My wife and I saw a production of this musical at the Bucks County Playhouse in Pennsylvania. Impressed by the production, I sought out the cast album and was pleasantly rewarded. This version is SO much better that the (hack!) Webber version that it makes you wonder WHO exactly greenlights productions for Broadway! This version is by Arthut Kopit and Maury Yeston ("Nine" and "Titanic") and while there are several melodramatic moments,
they work beautifully! THIS "Phantom" rules!
Ten times better than Lloyd Weber's Phantom June 4, 2008

This show is a must see on stage and the CD is a must buy. It is romantic, lush, and powerful.

This is a great musical! It is too bad it rarely shows. The songs are great too!
Melodie de Paris - It has a smooth melody that rocks back and forth! It truly is the "Melodie de Paris"
Paris is a Tomb - This one has a dark melody to it. It is not my favorite one on the CD.
Dressing for the Night - This one is jumpy. It's like a fun-filled melody.
Where in the World - This was a good song! This is one of my favorite songs on the CD! The Phantom was looking for a girl with a nice voice.
This Place is Mine - This is a another jumpy song. Carlotta's voice is a little animated. I think it is just part of her role.
Home - This is my 2nd favorite! It has a smooth melodie that just makes you want to sing along with it!
Phantom Fugue - This song is fast. I find this one really fun to listen to!
You Are Music - This one has a nice melody to it. It didn't hit #1 though.
The Bistro - This is my 3rd favorite! "Sing!" has a nice melody. It doesn't last long. "Paree is a Lark" is sung by Carlotta. It is the same animated voice. "Melodie de Paris (reprise)" is just as nice as the first "Melodie de Paris"!
Who Could Ever Had Dreamed Up You - This song is #4 on my list. Phillipe didn't really thrill me. I liked Christine's part though!
Without Your Music - This would have to be #5 on my list. Richard White (The Phantom) does good for this song! There is nothing wrong with it!
My True Love - This is one of the #1's on my list! I love the melody. I listen to this one all the time!
My Mother Bore Me - I love the melody in this one! This is another #1 on my list!
You Are My Own - This is obviously, the last #1 on my list! It is a nice song. It is also sad because Erik is dying. Gerard is telling Erik how he is his father.
You Are Music (reprise) - This is the song where Erik dies. This is the saddest song on the CD. It is another #2 on my list.
This is a great CD! I highly recommend it! If I could, I would give it more than 5 stars.

I bought this on a wing, hoping a little more than I got. I saw the women for Christine as Mariane Paroo in THE MUSIC MAN at Bass Hall, and loved her. So I looked at her biography and saw this. I bought it and was a bit dissapointed. The music is good, but not exactly memorible. So if your wanting a change from Webber, this is the thing to get. If your expecting spmthing close to Webbers version, look elsewhere.
A truly excellent musical September 8, 2005

It is a shame to learn that Kopit and Yeston purchased the rights to the Pantom of the Opera but were usurped by Andrew Lloyd Webber as it was in the public domain in Enland. Otherwise, we would have this marvelous music to listen to as much as we now listen to Webber's work. In a way we are fortunate that Webber's work can be heard as well as Yeston's work as the latter was allowed to publish in the US. Still, it is sad to realize that the public mainly ignores this work as they think first, that it even exists and second, that it is inferior to the Webber's work. The fact is that Phantom is excellent in its own right and has great songs such as "Home", "Melodie de Paris" and "Who Could Have Dreamed Up You". I highly recommend it to anyone.
