Oh absolutely. From the same era, Les Miserables is crafted closer to the structure of opera than Phantom is. But as you go back, there are plenty of other examples. A Doll’s Life, Sweeney, and Candide (god, that overture) immediately popped to mind.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera IS. NOT. AN. OPERA.
It is a MUSICAL that has elements of opera in it. That’s it. It’s a musical.

no war but class war.
Working class people that have more in common with their "enemies" than their leaders dying for rich freaks that tell us what we can't afford and can't have. No healthcare, no housing, but bombs forever to extoll the imagined might of weak men and make the rich richer.
7 years ago today I was in Adelaide Australia meeting some of the best guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Unfortunately I have zero pictures of us
GET LOUD PEOPLE. THIS CANNOT STAND.
this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.
Folks, I’m beginning to think he’s maybe not such a nice guy.
Tonight TCM played “Gaslight” opposite The State of the Union. That’s some next level trolling and I love it.
21 year old kid shot and killed at Mar a Lago this morning.

Goodness…
