Phantom of the Opera, the longest running Broadway show. Since 1986 it has run on stages not just on Broadway but across the world, and that is because of the work Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber creating the musical version of the show. The main antagonist, Erik, was scarred by deformities and was forced to wear a mask to conceal them. The mask would become his symbol, his prison, his curse as he plagued the Paris Opera House, even bringing the chandelier crashing down when he didn’t like a particular show after the first act. He reveals his deformities to main protagonist Christine and she agrees to marry him. The mask has grown to become the symbol for the show and an iconic symbol for theater.
