Well, it is not really a play - it is an opera. An opera within an opera The CD you have would be an opera and the movie has many of the songs but also drama, acting, talking, etc. The movie is more like a play I guess. It also has a soundtrack. It also sounds like you have the original production CD if Colm Wilkinson was singing Phantom (he created that role and also the original lead in Les Miserables.)
He's wonderful isn't he?
