{"product_id":"9781946665072","title":"Phantom of the Opera : A Social History of the World's Most Popular Musical","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhantom of the Opera is the longest-running, largest-grossing musical of all time. This book is the story of the stage show, film, and sequel, and the controversies that have surrounded them. You will learn why:   Sarah Brightman had to leave the UK after her divorce from Lloyd Webber and how she became the highest paid soprano in the world.   Gerard Butler was cast as a \"younger, hotter\" Phantom in the film, and why diehard fans thought he was not ugly enough.  Lloyd Webber ignored early warnings that fans would spurn a sequel-a decision that cost him millions.   A social media campaign led to the demise of the Phantom sequel, and how it was reborn.  Phantom of the Opera: A Social History of the World's Most Popular Musical is the first book that fully documents the history of a musical now in its 31st year of a continual run that has become a cultural force.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Praeclarus Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45365800304719,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":698.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781946665072","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
