Phantom

Summary: The Real Phantom!
Review: Andrew Lloyd Webber just beat Yeston and Kopit to the punch and got to B'way first, but had it been the other way around, this music would be even more memorable than the ALW Broadway version. The words and music are wonderful all the way through and you will sing and hum these tunes for a long time. BTW, If you get to see the stage version of this great play, you will also notice the stronger characters and story line.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: I have seen the Lloyd Webber version two times and the Yeston version four. There is no way that the Lloyd Webber version can match up to the Yeston version. In this book you learn more about the character of Erik, he has a sense of humor, an aching heart, and a love for Christine. You learn how he met Christine, who his parents are and why he loves Christine. The Lloyd Webber version is spectacular and I will always love it, but it is very vaugue, and for those who wish to know Erik (the Phantom) this is a very good book to read.

Summary: A truly Beautiful selection of songs from, "Phantom."
Review: I very highly recommend, the sheet music to Yeston and Kopit's "Phantom." It's hauntingly beautiful to play as well as sing. It deserves all the stars it can get. They are divine songs, that stay with you.

Summary: Heartfelt and haunting music - A joy to perform!
Review: In a project started, interestingly, before Webber's famous version, Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopit have created a very real Phantom. In giving us a more human Phantom, they also gave us truly wonderful music - uplifting at some times, humorous at others, heartfelt and haunting throughout. My favorite musical, and my favorite work to perform. Singing the part of Erik is a tenor's dream.

Review: In no way does the Lloyd Webber version match up to this one! Maury Yeston has composed a beautiful score, and the book give so much info it's unreal! If you want this book (since Amazon.com says it's out of print), go to www.samuelfrench.com They publish the libretto. It's worth buying!

Summary: Nothing extordinary
Review: The Yeston/Kopit version is nothing special compared to the Lloyd-Webber version. Don't get this book.
