PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE
Special Features: 50th Anniversary. Featuring a shadowcast by Bloody Mayhem Theatrical on Sat, April 27
"More magnificent than you ever dreamed…Quite an attraction." Brian De Palma's 1974 rock opera PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE remains a connoisseur's cult classic, 50 years after its release. Disfigured composer Winslow Leach (William Finley) seeks revenge on Swan (Paul Williams), the heartless producer who stole his music, which Leach wrote for Phoenix (Jessica Harper), the woman he loves from afar. Williams' wicked rock music powers Brian De Palma's outré musical, which combines elements of Gaston Leroux's "The Phantom of the Opera," Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and Goethe's "Faust."
