Who wrote the music of the phantom of the opera?

Answer 1

The first stage musical of Gaston Leroux's The Phatom of the Opera was staged in 1976 and its music was written by Ian Armit and the original English lyrics written by Ken Hill. In 1984 Hill revived the musical and wrote original lyrics placing them to opera arias by Gounod, Offenbach, Verdi, Weber, Mozart, Donizetti, and Boito.

Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote music and Charles Hart wrote the original English lyrics to the better known stage musical that is Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera which opened in 1986, and which was inspired by the Ken Hill musical, and also bases on Gaston Leroux's original novel.

Answer 4

The music was written by the creative genius of Andrew Llyod Webber.
