Recs if you like The Phantom of Manhattan...

Stories that traded chapters for showtunes! From literary classics to contemporary novels these books found a second life under the Broadway lights! Please let me know any that I've missed!! (Note on curation: I've been cross checking titles with Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) which is Broadway's official archive)

As a massive bookworm and theatre nerd, this list was inevitable.

All books that have also been musicals.

Some books may have been made into films then musicals.

This is NOT a list of every book that became a musical I left out some of the more obscure ones but I'm happy to add any you think I've missed.
