In hindsight the odd marriage of burgeoning director Brian De Palma and superstar songwriter Paul Williams seems a recipe for 70s era success, but sadly their Faustian collaboration Phantom of the Paradise met with little appreciation at the time.

Join Sebastian, Jennifer and special guest Beth Topping as they sell their souls for stardom in appreciation of this bizarre and delightfully campy horror musical.
