His last command from Admiral Markov(Lance Henriksen) is to pilot an old diesel submarine to China in order for it to be sold to their navy. While recognizing few new faces amongst his crew now, especially those of the KGB agents assigned, at least Demi will have Kozlov(William Fichtner) back as his executive officer. But just as they are leaving, Markov shoots himself. Even with the neat setting of an ancient, claustrophobic submarine, 'Phantom' still does not manage to be anything more than just the idlest bit of speculation, Cold War division. That's fueled by gigantic leaps in logic that only serve to keep the plot moving before an ending that truly beggars belief. At least, William Fichtner does his usual very fine work while Ed Harris does some subtle acting here. On the other hand, we get even more proof that David Duchovny cannot act.
A taunt, tense and terrific white-knuckle thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat with suspense and excitement. A classy old-school thrill-ride that returns us to the days of thrilling submarine drama's of the 50's and 60's. A great blend of straightforward storytelling and great character development to fuel an engaging movie. It's an awesome film that just explodes with power and drama.
Ed Harris, David Duchovny and William Fichtner are sensational. It also had a great cast of character actors that just add to the films appeal, with actors like Lance Henriksen Sean Patrick Flannery and Jason Beghe you definitely cant go wrong. A rip-roaring entertainment. ½ Inspired by the mysterious sinking of the K-129, Phantom is an intense Cold War thriller. A power struggle aboard a Soviet submarine threatens to erupt in war when a radical element of the KGB attempts to use a first strike device against the US.
Starring Ed Harris, David Duchovny, and William Fichtner, the cast is fairly strong. But the directing is rather poor, and does move the plot along very well or add any suspense to the film. Still, the set designs and special effects are pretty good and create a tense atmosphere aboard the sub.
Phantom has an interesting story, but it's rather lackluster for a thriller.
• • The Phantom of the Opera is a musical with music by and lyrics by and. Lloyd Webber and Stilgoe also wrote the musical's book together. Based on the French novel by, its central plot revolves around a beautiful soprano,, who becomes the obsession of a mysterious, disfigured musical genius living in the subterranean labyrinth beneath the Opera Populaire. The musical opened in London's in 1986, and on in 1988. It won the 1986 and the 1988 for Best Musical, and (in the title role) won the Olivier and Tony Awards for Best Actor in a Musical.
It is the by a wide margin, and celebrated its 10,000th Broadway performance on 11 February 2012, the first production ever to do so. It is the, after, and the third longest-running West End show overall, after. With total estimated worldwide gross receipts of over 5.6 billion and total Broadway gross of $845 million, Phantom was the most financially successful entertainment event until surpassed it in 2014. By 2011, it had been seen by over 130 million people in 145 cities across 27 countries, and continues to play in London and New York.

He was aiming for a romantic piece, and suggested Gaston Leroux's book as a basis. They screened both the and the motion picture versions, but neither saw an effective way to make the leap from film to stage.
Later, in New York, Lloyd Webber found a second-hand copy of the original, long-out-of-print Leroux novel, which supplied the necessary inspiration to develop a musical: 'I was actually writing something else at the time, and I realised that the reason I was hung up was because I was trying to write a major romantic story, and I had been trying to do that ever since I started my career. Then with the Phantom, it was there!' Lyricists [ ] Lloyd Webber first approached to write the lyrics because of his 'dark obsessive side', but he declined in order to fulfill his commitments on a album. Was then recruited, but he became seriously ill after joining the project and was forced to withdraw; none of his contributions (mostly involving the song 'Masquerade') are credited in the show., the lyricist for, wrote most of the original lyrics for the production., a young and then-relatively unknown lyricist, later rewrote many of the lyrics, along with original lyrics for 'Think of Me'. Some of Stilgoe's original contributions are still present in the final version, however. Score [ ] Inspired in part by an of the same story by, Lloyd Webber's score is sometimes operatic in style but maintains the form and structure of a musical throughout. The full-fledged operatic passages are reserved principally for subsidiary characters such as Andre and Firmin, Carlotta, and Piangi.
They are also used to provide the content of the fictional 'operas' that are taking place within the show itself, viz., Hannibal, Il Muto, and the Phantom's masterwork, Don Juan Triumphant. 'Here, Lloyd Webber pastiched various styles from the grand operas of through to and even.' These pieces are often presented as musical fragments, interrupted by dialogue or action sequences in order to clearly define the musical's 'show within a show' format. The musical extracts from the Phantom's opera, 'Don Juan Triumphant', during the latter stages of the show, are dissonant and modern—'suggesting, perhaps, that the Phantom is ahead of his time artistically'.
Design, direction, and choreography [ ] designed the sets and over 200 costumes, including the elaborate gowns in the 'Masquerade' sequence. Her set designs, including the chandelier, subterranean gondola, and sweeping staircase, earned her multiple awards., director of,,, and Lloyd Webber's, directed the production, while, associate director and choreographer of, provided the integral musical staging and choreography. First preview at Sydmonton [ ] A preview of the first act was staged at Sydmonton (Lloyd Webber's home) in 1985, starring Colm Wilkinson (later the star of the Toronto production) as the Phantom, as Kristin (later Christine), and Clive Carter (later a member of the London cast) as Raoul. This very preliminary production used Richard Stilgoe's original unaltered lyrics, and many songs sported names that were later changed, such as 'What Has Time Done to Me' ('Think of Me'), and 'Papers' ('Notes').
The Phantom's original mask covered the entire face and remained in place throughout the performance, obscuring the actor's vision and muffling his voice. Björnson designed the now-iconic half-mask to replace it, and the unmasking sequence was added. Clips of this preview performance were included on the DVD of the 2004 film production. West End [ ] Phantom began previews at in London's West End on 27 September 1986 under the direction of Hal Prince, then opened on 9 October.
It was choreographed by and the sets were designed by Maria Björnson, with lighting. Starred in the title role with Sarah Brightman as Christine and as Raoul.

A DVD and Blu-ray of the performance was released in February 2012, and it began airing in March 2012 on 's 'Great Performances' television series.
In March 2012, a new production directed by Laurence Connor began a UK and Ireland tour to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the show, beginning at the Theatre Royal Plymouth and travelled to, Bristol,,, Edinburgh,,, and. And Earl Carpenter alternated as the Phantom with Katie Hall and Olivia Brereton as Christine and Simon Bailey as Raoul. Broadway [ ] Phantom began previews at the on 9 January 1988 and opened on 26 January. Crawford, Brightman, and Barton reprised their respective roles from the West End. The production continues to play at the Majestic, where it became the first Broadway musical in history to surpass 10,000 performances on 11 February 2012.

CLOC musical theatre staged the world amateur premiere in May 2013 at the National Theatre in Melbourne, Australia. In June 2013, Windmill Theatre Company staged the production at the Drum Theatre in. Also in June 2013, Wellington Musical Theatre debuted the New Zealand premiere starring Chris Crowe and Barbara Graham. Synopsis [ ] Prologue [ ] In 1905 Paris, the Opéra Populaire hosts an auction of old theatrical props.
Among the attendees is the Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, who purchases a music box and eyes it sadly, saying that the details are 'exactly as she said.' The auctioneer describes 'a chandelier in pieces' as the next item up for bid, alluding to a connection with 'the Phantom of the Opera'. As the porters remove the drop cloth covering the fixture, it flickers to life and ascends to the ceiling as the auditorium's former grandeur is restored ('Overture'). Act I [ ] It is now 1881 and the cast of a new production, Hannibal, are rehearsing onstage when they learn that new owners, Firmin and André, are taking over the Opéra Populaire. Carlotta, the Opéra's resident soprano, begins to perform an aria for the new managers when a backdrop inexplicably falls from the flies, barely missing her and prompting anxious chorus girls to whisper, 'He's here!
The Phantom of the Opera!' The managers try to downplay the incident, but Carlotta angrily insists that such things happen all the time and she storms out.
Madame Giry, the Opéra's ballet mistress, informs Firmin and André that, a chorus girl and orphaned daughter of a prominent violinist, has been 'well taught' and can sing Carlotta's role. With cancellation of the sold out show being their only other alternative, the managers reluctantly audition Christine and are surprised to discover that she is indeed up to the challenge.
As Christine sings the aria during the evening performance, the Opéra's new patron, Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny, recognizes her as his childhood friend and playmate ('Think of Me'). Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman performing the title song Backstage after her triumphant début, Christine confesses to her best friend Meg (Madame Giry's daughter) that she knows her mysterious teacher only as an invisible 'Angel of Music' ('Angel of Music'). Raoul pays a visit to Christine's dressing room. The two reminisce about the 'Angel of Music' stories that her late father used to tell them and Christine confides that the Angel has visited her and taught her to sing ('Little Lotte'). Raoul indulges what he assumes are fantasies and insists on taking Christine to dinner.
When Raoul leaves to fetch his hat, Christine hears the jealous Phantom's voice and she entreats him to reveal himself. The Phantom obliges by appearing as a ghostly, partially masked face in her mirror ('The Mirror/Angel of Music (Reprise)'). Believing him to be the Angel of Music sent by her deceased father, Christine is irresistibly drawn through the mirror to the Phantom, who leads her down into the cellars of the Opéra house. The two then board a small boat and cross a subterranean lake to his secret lair ('). The Phantom explains that he has chosen Christine to sing his music and serenades her. When he reveals a mirror that reflects an image of her in a wedding dress, the figure in the mirror gestures to Christine and she faints. The Phantom then covers her tenderly with his cloak (').
As the Phantom is composing music at his organ, Christine awakens to the sound of the monkey music box ('I Remember'). Overcome with curiosity, she slips behind the Phantom, lifts his mask, and beholds his grotesquely disfigured face. The Phantom rails at her prying gesture, as Christine hides in fear. He then ruefully expresses his longing to look normal, and to be loved by her ('Stranger Than You Dreamt It'). Moved by pity, Christine returns the Phantom's mask to him and the Phantom shepherds her back above ground. Meanwhile,, the Opéra's chief stagehand, regales the chorus girls with tales of the 'Opéra Ghost' and his terrible ('Magical Lasso').
Madame Giry arrives and warns Buquet to exercise restraint or face the Phantom's wrath. In the managers' office, André and Firman read notes from the Phantom aloud and are interrupted by Raoul, who accuses them of sending him a note saying that he should make no attempt to see Christine again. Carlotta and Piangi then burst into the office, demanding to know who sent Carlotta a note saying that her days at the Opera Populaire are numbered. As André and Firmin try to calm the distressed Carlotta, Madame Giry delivers another note from the Phantom: he demands that Christine replace Carlotta in the new opera,, lest they face a 'disaster beyond imagination' ('Notes.'
Firmin and André dismiss the threat and assure an enraged Carlotta that she will remain their star ('Prima Donna'). The première of Il Muto initially goes well, until the voice of the Phantom suddenly cuts through the performance, enraged that Box 5 was not kept empty for him. As Christine whispers that she knows the Phantom is near, Carlotta reminds her that her role is silent, calling her a 'little toad'. The Phantom states that it is Carlotta who is the toad and reduces Carlotta's voice to a frog-like croak.
Firmin quickly tries to calm the situation by telling the audience that Christine will take over the starring role, moving forward the ballet to keep the audience entertained. Suddenly, the corpse of Joseph Buquet drops from the rafters, hanging from the Punjab lasso. Firmin and André plead for calm as mayhem erupts and the Phantom's diabolical laughter is heard throughout the auditorium ('Poor Fool, He Makes Me Laugh'). In the ensuing chaos, Christine escapes with Raoul to the roof and tells him about her subterranean encounter with the Phantom ('Why Have You Brought Me Here?/Raoul, I've Been There').
Raoul is skeptical but promises to love and protect her, and Christine reciprocates his vow ('). The heartbroken Phantom, having overheard their entire conversation, angrily vows revenge before returning to the auditorium and sending the chandelier crashing to the stage during the curtain call ('All I Ask of You (Reprise)'). Steve Barton and Sarah Brightman in the final scene Six months later, in the midst of a, the Phantom makes his first appearance since the chandelier disaster, in costume as the. He announces that he has written an opera entitled and demands that it be produced immediately, with Christine (who is now secretly engaged to Raoul) in the lead role, and he warns of dire consequences if his demands are not met ('Masquerade/Why So Silent?' Noticing an engagement ring on a chain around Christine's neck, the Phantom angrily pulls it from her and vanishes in a blinding flash of light. As the masquerade attendees scatter in fear, Raoul accosts Madame Giry and demands that she reveal what she knows about the Phantom. Giry reluctantly explains that the Phantom is actually a brilliant scholar, magician, architect, inventor, and composer who was born with a terrifyingly deformed face.
Feared and reviled by society, he was cruelly exhibited in a cage as part of a travelling fair until he eventually escaped and disappeared. He has since taken refuge beneath the opera house, which has now become his home. During rehearsals, Raoul – tired of the tyranny with which the Phantom rules the Opera – thinks to use the première of Don Juan Triumphant as a trap to capture the Phantom and put an end to his reign of terror once and for all. Carlotta falsely accuses Christine of being the mastermind and that it is her plan so she can be the star. Christine angrily defends herself, saying she is not the Phantom's accomplice, but his victim.
Raoul, knowing of the Phantom's obsession with his fiancée, asserts that the Phantom will be sure to attend the opera's première, and begs Christine to help him lure the Phantom into the trap ('Notes/Twisted Every Way'). Torn between her love for Raoul and her fear of the Phantom, Christine visits her father's grave, longing for his guidance but understanding that she must move on ('Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again').
The Phantom appears atop the mausoleum, again under the guise of the Angel of Music ('Wandering Child'), and sings to Christine. Christine, tired and heartbroken, once again accepts her 'Angel' as a friend, nearly succumbing to the Phantom's influence, but Raoul arrives to both rescue her and confront The Phantom. The Phantom taunts Raoul, hurling fire balls at him until Christine begs Raoul to leave with her ('Bravo Monsieur'). Furious, the Phantom declares war upon them both and causes flames to spring up around the mausoleum. With armed policemen having secured the auditorium and watching for the Phantom, Don Juan Triumphant premieres with Christine and Piangi singing the lead roles.
During Don Juan's and Aminta's duet, Christine comes to the sudden realization that she is singing not with Piangi, but with the Phantom himself ('The Point of No Return'). Mimicking Raoul's vow of devotion on the rooftop, the Phantom once again expresses love for Christine and forces his ring onto her finger; Christine rips off his mask, exposing his horrifically deformed face to the shocked audience. The opera house is plunged into chaos.
Piangi's garroted body is revealed backstage, the cast and audience fly into a state of panic, and the Phantom seizes Christine and flees the theatre. An angry mob, vowing vengeance for the murders of Buquet and Piangi, searches the theatre for the Phantom, while Madame Giry tells Raoul how to find the Phantom's subterranean lair, and warns him to beware his magical lasso.('Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer'). In the lair, Christine is forced to don a wedding dress. Raoul finds the lair and attempts to persuade the Phantom to spare Christine, begging him to show compassion. The Phantom refuses, and captures Raoul with the Punjab lasso. The Phantom tells Christine that he will free Raoul if she agrees to stay with him forever, but if she refuses, Raoul will die.
Christine, heartbroken, tells the Phantom that it is his soul that is deformed, not his face. As the Phantom and Raoul both plead to her, Christine mournfully wonders what kind of life the Phantom has known.
She tells the Phantom that he is not alone and kisses him, showing him compassion for the first time in his life. The Phantom, having experienced kindness at last, understands that he cannot compel Christine to love him, and sets them both free.
Raoul hurries Christine out of the lair, but she returns alone to give the Phantom back his ring. The Phantom tells Christine he loves her, before she tearfully exits with Raoul. The weeping Phantom huddles on his throne and covers himself with his cloak. The mob, led by Meg, enters the lair.
Meg pulls the Phantom's cloak from the throne, finding only his mask on the seat. She lifts the mask up into the light and gazes at in wonder as the curtain falls.
• Entr'acte – Orchestra • 'Masquerade/Why So Silent?' Allegations of plagiarism [ ] In 1987 the heirs of charged in a lawsuit that the climactic phrase in 'Music of the Night' closely resembled a similar phrase in the sequence 'Quello che tacete' from Puccini's opera. The litigation was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. In 1990 a Baltimore songwriter named filed a lawsuit alleging that the title song from Phantom was based on a song that he wrote in 1978 called 'Till You'. After eight years of litigation – including an unsuccessful countersuit by Lloyd Webber claiming that 'Till You' was itself a plagiarism of 'Close Every Door' from – the jury found in Lloyd Webber's favour.
Former vocalist has repeatedly claimed in interviews that the signature descending/ascending half-tone chord progression from Phantom's title song was plagiarised from the bass line of a track on the 1971 Pink Floyd album called '.
