I’ve not seen Phantom of the Opera and this isn’t my favourite plot but even a meh Discworld is still a good time.

I think Granny Weatherwax has firmly cemented herself as my favorite Discworld character at this point, followed by Moist von Lipwig. And a Discworld take on Phantom of the Opera? Yes please!

Witches, murders, a best selling cookbook, and a smelly cat. All the ingredients for a page turning Pratchett classic.

Witty and hilarious. You might not get as much out of it if you aren't familiar with musical theatre as a whole and phantom of the opera specifically, but well written. Read this if you want to laugh.

Good fun, but also seriously creepy. Phantom of the Opera with a dippy, self absorbed Christine who faints histrionically on cue but can't sing a note, dubbed by "Perdita" (nee Agnes), a sensible country girl with a powerful voice, always referred to as "the one with the great personality. And lovely hair. ". Some great lines:

(looking at the chandelier) - "Now THAT's an accident waiting to happen"

Crowd hunting down the Phantom: 
" Have we got the flaming torches?"
"Torches are not required!"
"What about pitchforks, eh?"
"That's for a vampire you idiot!"
