(Although the Phantom is serial killer, extortionist, kidnapper and probable rapist, Christine and audiences are mysteriously drawn to him. It still draws folks who judge it one of the best Broadway shows, clamoring for cheap Broadway tickets. Back in 1988, it cleaned up at the Tony Awards with eight wins. The plot, borrowed from a 1910 potboiler by Gaston Leroux, tells of Christine Daaé, a naïve young soprano whose secretive voice teacher turns out to be a deformed musical genius who inhabits a candlelit lair beneath the Paris Opera House. The Phantom of the Opera, Broadway's most reliable tourist magnet for nearly 35 years, began haunting the New York City stage way back in 1988.
