it's weird to me that Phantom of the Opera was put together in the 80s (www.youtube.com)

It's such a cornerstone of theater, the music is so damn good. Somehow I expected it to be from like the 1800s

Was it seriously? I thought it was like, from the 1700s (I know next to nothing about Phantom of the Opera).

yep, first stage play was 1985. The plot is based on a book from 1910, but the music was all original composition. Same guy who did Cats

Some of you didnā€™t grow up overheating to the point of nausea in a dodge grand caravan while your mom fucking BLASTED Andrew Lloyd Weberā€™s latest drop and it shows.

That's really blowing my mind lol.

Wait you're telling me Cats isn't from the 1800s either??

(Okay, so it's based on a story that was serialized in 1909, so...it's kind of old?)
