That's not entirely accurate. The Phantom of the Opera was a originally a book, although it has been adapted for the stage (and cinema) a few times, most notable the Andrew Lloyd Webber version. This song was written before then, I hasten to add!

Awsome song, no doubt, but does anyone know why they chose to name it after the book/opera?
