The Phantom of the Opera, based on the novel Le Fantôme de L'Opéra by Gaston Leroux, is a story about a horribly deformed composer, living in the cellars of the Opéra Garnier who, hiding behind the walls and posing as an Angel of Music, teaches an orphaned chorus girl, Christine Daaé, to sing as she had never sung before.

The Phantom, Erik (though his name is never mentioned in the play), has fallen in love with the little ingénue, but before he can make a move, the girl's childhood friend and sweetheart arrives.

From the website:

"Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, SPAMALOT is a new musical directed by Mike Nichols, with a book by Eric Idle and an entirely new score created by Eric Idle and John Du Prez.

"Telling the legendary tale pf King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table, and featuring a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits and french people, Monty Python's SPAMALOT 'raises silliness to an art form' (The Sunday Times) and has been hailed as 'a no-holds-barred smash hit.' (The New Yorker)

Based on Louisa May Alcott's own family experiences (and novel), LITTLE WOMEN, follows the adventures of Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March as they grow up in Civil War America. The beloved story of the March sisters is timeless and deals with issues as relevant today as when they were written.
