I’ve shared (often!) about various versions of the Phantom of the Opera story, and I’m hosting a reading and viewing challenge this year that’s all about exploring those many different retellings and sequels. I’ve also shared some videos visiting different portions of my bookshelves. I recently made a video sharing and discussing my Phantom collection – or at least, part of it!
See below for Part One, because I have a big Phantom collection. This video goes through the major versions from Gaston Leroux to Andrew Lloyd Webber, with a little about how my own version is similar or different from them. I’ll post next week with another video on the many versions that came after Webber. Enjoy!
I watched the 25 Anniversary concert on Youtube at the weekend, part of ALW’s contributiion to our lockdown entertainment. Fond memories.

Wow! Three versions of the original novel – but they are all so different. I might do the same thing for a book I really loved, if that many were available. You have quite a collection.
