Chapter 10 (Producers & Investors)
Phantom of the Opera turns 30 this year! And it almost didn't happen. Composer Andrew Lloyd Weber's wife was turned down by Actors' Equity when he applied for a work visa claiming she was a one-in-a-kind star. Of course, in those days in the U.S., she was not a star. Equity's job is to protect American acting jobs and AEA must approve all foreign actors working in the U.S.- usually by guaranteeing an equal number of American actors working in foreign countries like the U.K. Well, the powerful Mr. Weber eventually won and Sarah Brightman opened the show on Broadway.
