The music that made this film is one of the elements that have allowed it to have so much staying power. At the time of its release 50 years ago, a lot of newspapers weren't necessarily impressed. One of the main criticisms of the film was that it was meant to be a spoof of movies that had already made fun of themselves. At the time, those people didn't have a crystal ball to realize just how much of a following Phantom of the Paradise would pick up as the years went on. Today, it's widely considered one of the best rock musicals ever produced. Pretty much every single person who took part in the film is now an icon in their own right. Particularly director Brian De Palma and the man who will make an appearance at the Majestic Theater on Saturday, October 26th, Paul Williams.
What makes this night at The Majestic Theater in Dallas extra special is the fact that the movie was actually shot in the theater! Ironically, the scenes in the film that depict the setting from the outside tell a different story. That's because the City Center concert hall in New York City was the venue used for those shots. The film is supposedly set in NYC, with a character even falling into the East River at one point. However, the scenes from inside the theater were filmed at the Majestic. Therefore, Paul Williams will be able to pinpoint exactly where all the magic took place in the making of this film. All of these elements come together to create this one-of-a-kind experience.
It may be tough to decipher where you want to sit this Saturday, October 26th. If you're further back, you're going to have a much better view of the screening. When it's time for the Paul Williams Q&A, though, you'll have a better chance of interacting with the legend if you sit close to the stage. Get your partner or your crew and talk over this dilemma!
