I'm fairly certain that Andrew Lloyd Webber never imagined that his musical The Phantom of the Opera would ever have experienced its future smashing success when it made its Broadway debut on January 26, 1988. Now, 35 years, 13,925 performances, seven Tony Awards and $1.3 billion in gross revenue later, his musical is preparing to close its curtains for good on April 16 of this year.

(11/08/22 5:00am)

At some point in our life, many of us have been fascinated by the beautiful storytelling in Taylor Swift’s new albums or felt connected to the flashy, upbeat music by BTS blasting from the radio. Today's singers and songwriters take advantage of modern music technology to capture and convey their sentiments.
