Description
The two longest-running musicals in West End history share the bill here, with nine songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera” and eight from Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil’s “Les Misérables,” all arranged for piano.
“The Phantom of the Opera” crashes in on its famous descending organ riff, which keeps every ounce of its menace on piano. “The Music of the Night” gives the Phantom his slow, persuasive big solo, while “Masquerade” opens the second act like a ballroom spinning at full tilt.
On the Les Misérables side, “I Dreamed a Dream” is Fantine’s showpiece, the song Susan Boyle carried to millions with her 2009 Britain’s Got Talent audition. “Castle on a Cloud” scales things down to young Cosette’s daydream, a simple tune she sings while sweeping the floor of the inn. “On My Own” follows Éponine on a late-night walk through a sleeping city, and “Do You Hear the People Sing?” rallies the students to the barricade with the album’s boldest march.
Both stories build to their biggest moments in Paris, one beneath its opera house and one on its barricades, and their melodies remain the ones theater fans hum on the way out.
