Investigating the list of articles this visualisation gave me, I found that in 1987 Crawford was voted Showbusiness Personality at a Variety Club awards ceremony for his role in Phantom and in another musical called Barnum, as reported in The Times Digital Archive. The Topic Finder (Tile View) visualisation produced by searching Gale Primary Sources for “phantom of the opera musical”.Īt first the wealth of information was a little overwhelming, but on taking a closer look I noticed the names of some actors renowned for their starring roles, one of them being the first actor to play the titular role: Michael Crawford. In this blog post I use Gale Primary Sources to learn more about the musical, which movies may have influenced it, and perhaps shed some light on how it has so enchanted us.įirst off, I used Gale’s Topic Finder tool to take a look at the terms associated with Webber’s production: Phantom has left its imprint on pop culture and on the theatre. One musical that has without a doubt entered the collective consciousness is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, itself an adaptation of the Gaston Leroux novel. As a society we’ve created academic courses on the subject and vigorously debated the merits of live shows versus DVDs. Sometimes we even sing the songs in the shower. Most of us grow up watching musicals on TV, our childhood a medley of singing animals and cartoon princesses. │By Evelyn Moran, Gale Ambassador at the National University of Ireland Galway│ Disentangling Fact from Opinion in Academic Articles - June 15, 2021.PhDing in a Pandemic: The Impact of COVID-19 on Research and Teaching - November 2, 2021.
