“The Phantom of the Opera” to Serve as Backdrop to Murder Mystery

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera is getting another life as the backdrop to a darkly comedic murder mystery anthology series. The Show Must Go On hails from Austin Winsberg, Robert Greenblatt, Lloyd Webber, pilot director Richard Shepard, The Tannenbaum Company, and Lionsgate Television, with Universal Television co-producing. Peacock is developing the hour-long anthology.

Season 1 of The Show Must Go On will be set behind the scenes during the making of The Phantom of the Opera Live!, which will be fraught with production problems, warring stars, network pressures, and a gruesome murder. The Phantom of the Opera will not actually be performed in its entirely during the series, as the series follows the musical coming together. Following seasons will feature a new televised event and cast.

Deadline broke the news.
