[[Sarah Brightman]], depending on who you ask, is best known for one of three things: playing Christine in [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]]'s ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'', being a classical crossover singer, or appearing in ''[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]''. This is a consequence of her reinventing herself enough times to rival ''[[Madonna]]'' (or perhaps [[David Bowie]]). A chronology:
'''The disco era.''' Yes, there was an era before ''Phantom''. In her late teens, she and the British dance troupe [[The Kenny Everett Video Show|Hot Gossip]] scored a hit with the song "I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper," which is pretty much [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]] and an attempt to cash in on the popularity of ''[[Star Wars]]'' and similar space films that came out during this time. She released many solo singles as well.
'''The [[Musical Theatre]] era.''' Long story short, she met [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]] while soloing on his ''Requiem'' album, married him, and starred in a number of his musicals, most famously as Christine in ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'' -- a part written specifically for her. Much tabloid attention was had.

* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Sarah Brightman is the reason why Christine is brunette in the Andrew Lloyd Webber version of ''[[Phantom of the Opera]]'', not blonde as in the book.
* [[Break Up Song]]: "Free," "So Many Things"
