#I've decided to start moving poll notes to be under the break instead of tags because otherwise they eat up too much tag room

Note: There are a number of further adaptations not on this poll. A part 2, featuring further versions, may be released at some point in the future
Further notes:
Typically for theatrical productions, I try to make sure there's some kind of accessibility to them, because I want to make sure there's a chance people will have actually seen it. I try to see if there's either a) a flagship production currently running (for example, a national tour, a Broadway or West End production, etc) b) a recording of a production that is relatively easy to find c) a version of the script and/or a full cast recording available and/or d) I can find the license to check if the show is generally licensable for amateur production.
Here, ALW The Phantom of the Opera musical has a recording (the 25th anniversary one, available via BroadwayHD) and while it is no longer on Broadway, given that it only closed last year and was the longest running show of all time, I count that for it as well. Phantom (the other one) seems to be licensable for amateur production, the script is purchasable, and there is a cast recording. There is an earlier musical, as well, but I'm still trying to clarify just how much of it is accessible in some way, so if it appears it will be on a part 2 poll.
All film versions listed above are available either on streaming or DVD
