What broad way show made the most money?
For many years, the Phantom of the Opera, which opened in 1983, was the highest grossing Broadway show. More recently, in 2012, the Lion King surpassed the Phantom of the Opera to become the highest grossing Broadway. The Lion King opened in 1997, and although not open as long as The Phantom of the Opera, the ticket prices are higher, resulting in more box office receipts.

What is the plot of Phantom of the Opera ?
A man lives in the catacombs of the Paris Opera house. In the book he was part of the construction of the opera. He made the catacombs so he could live in it, building an apartment across the lake that all the extra water from the pipes and whatnot leak into. He is extremely skeletal and ugly. He is childish and obsessive and alone in the world besides Daroga, who is a man who vaguely visits him. He is a police officer in... ugh, I can't remember the country. Erik (the Phantom) saved him somehow and in turn, Daroga broke Erik out of jail, and now are grudging friends. Anyway, Erik has a beautiful voice, but wears a full mask to cover his ugly face. He becomes obsessed with Fifteen year old prima-donna Christine Daae. He taught her to sing himself through the walls of her room. He ends up falling in love with her and the story begins right about there. Oh, Erik is also in charge of the operas. He demands money and poses as the opera ghost to get it. He knows secret passages and he knows how to throw his voice. He causes trouble for fun and also kills people in his way. He manipulates people to get the things he wants, and even visits the crowds without his mask to scare people.

What is phantom opra about?
It's about a man with a deformity on the (his right) right of his face, it makes him look like he was burned. He was born with it and his mother was frightened so she sold him to gypsies. They abused him for around 10 years and then he escaped and went under the opera house. It became his home and he grew into a man there. He became a musical genius, a magician, an architect, and apparently a great singer. But his loneliness drove him insane now and has anger issues because of his abused childhood, growing up in a cage and being beaten and named the 'devil's child' and shown off for money, making him insecure of his marks. Then, he started singing to a young opera soprano (who justs happens to be gorgeous) and she believes that he is 'the angel of music' because he sings beautifully and because her father told her he would send the angel to her when he died. He begins to teach her to sing and falls in love with her. Then, Roaul (her childhood sweetheart) comes back into the picture after like 10 years and sweeps her off her feet. But the phantom doesn't back down, he begins to romance her and she finally gets to see him. And realizes he wasn't 'the angel' but a real man. But she made the mistake of taking off his mask, causing him to have a melt down. And in front of her! He kind of explains to her why he yelled. He said it was because he is ashamed of it and didn't want her to see that side of him (he wasn't lying he just didn't tell her all of the story, Christine never learns about the gypsies he grew up with in the movie, well at least they never showed it). And begins to feel sorry for him. She then makes the mistake of kissing Roaul (she didn't know te phantom was watching) and the phantom feels jealous and betrayed because he loves her. So he does all these other things to try to win her back like sending notes to the managers, threatening them if they don't give her leading roles, and writing a play called Don Juan (which is very seductive) and Roaul tells the managers to sell tickets for people to see it and bring in an audience (including a LOT if police with guns) so he can capture the phantom (whose name is Erik) and stop all the problems he causes for Christine. She (of course) plays the lead and the phantom comes in sings to her, and just when the phantom sings ends his song about his love fo her, she rips off his mask AGAIN!!!! (normally he is wearing a half-face white masquerade mask, but in this play he is wearing a different mask which is black and full face (covering most of the nose and both eyes, and most of the forehead) And he cuts the thick rope holding up the HUGE crystal chandelier which falls, and he drops through a trap door to the stairs leading to his home under the opera house (which is gorgeous, and somehow The phantom got an entire organ down there!) and brings Christine with him. Then Roaul freaks and makes Madame Giry (who helped the Phantom escape the gypsies) take him to the stairs. But Roaul falls through a trap door and almost drowns (he didn't succeed in drowning sadly...) but got out in time and finds the phantoms lair. He begs the phantom to let Christine go. And keep in mind the phantom is already upset with Christine for making the same mistake and ties Roaul up and puts a lasso (noose) around his neck threatening to kill him unless Christine says she'll stay with him forever and love him. But she kisses him and the phantom forgive her, knowing he couldn't do hurt her like that anymore, and let's Roaul go. Then Christine finds him listening to a monkey who claps the symbols ( metal things) together and plays The song masquerade (when he was being abused, the phantom had this monkey doll thing he made and found two metal circles to put on the monkey's hands and he clapped them together, the only comfort he had) and apparently when he got out, he built a better one. And Christine gave him back the ring the phantom gave her and he cries (which makes you cry) and she leave with Roaul. And they take his little boat too!!! (He has to go through a river to get to his lair under the opera house so he somehow got a small little boat down there. Then he breaks a mirror and goes through a passageway behind the mirror and disappears ( the last time you see the phantom in the movie.) and that's how it ends, except the VERY last scene where Roaul puts the monkey on Christine's grave as an old man and then looks over and sees a red rose with a black ribbon on it and the ring Christine got from the phantom, which means The phantom is still alive, even though he was like 15 to 20 years older than Christine (who died in her late 60's) and also that the phantom still loved her after all those years. Which REALLY makes you sob. And thats the end. I think the phantom should have gotten Christine. He loved her so much! Btw I got all this from the 2004 version of the movie. Which in my opinion, is the best version so far.

It was because he was horribly disfigured. They called him the "Devil's Child". He was basically a freak show that people paid money to see. They did it to make money.
Is phantom of the opera realistic?
Not technically. Technically speaking, both versions - film and stage - are not classical operas, they're musicals. (And even the literature/promotional materials refer to it as such, actually-) Traditionally, operas have little or no spoken words - all of the dialogue is sung. Musicals have numbers that represent conversations, advance the plotline, or serve some other major purpose... but they also contain "normal" theatrical spoken dialogue. It's close, though. The spoken dialogue really is at a minimum... but then again, music IS the soul of the entire plot, more or less, which makes it much easier to fuse the two.
