Phantom tune was not stolen, says jury
1998
Overview
A JURY yesterday cleared Andrew Lloyd Webber of stealing the melody for the Phantom of the Opera theme from an amateur songwriter. The delighted composer said after the case, which had taken eight years to come to a final hearing: 'I have been totally vindicated.' The New York jury returned a verdict just two hours after closing arguments concluded and a day after the composer testified and played snippets of the song in court on a small black piano. Ray Repp, the plaintiff who claimed Phantom was based on his 1978 song Till You, stood dejected in the courtroom after the jury had left.
