Scarlet Pimpernel also has a Good Guy/Good Girl/Batshit Loonball Villain love triangle, but that's where the similarities end. (Unless you want to be somewhat vague and say that both Erik and Chauvelin wear a lot of black, and both Raoul and Sir Percy are commonly thought to be brainless fops.)
How is POTO similar to The Libertine?

rofl rofl rofl
I was listening to Jekyll and Hyde and I noticed there were interesting song parallels with POTO:
Dangerous Game: A LOT like 'Past the Point of No Return'
In His Eyes: 'Angel of Music' (girl(s) praising the main guy)
This is the Moment & A New Life: Music of the Night (all three are fatally hopeful)
Facade & Good'n'Evil: Masquerade (Facade for the choral, Good'n'Evil for the theme)
Take Me As I Am: All I Ask of You (your staple, the love song!)
and then the others just reminded me of Les Mis xd (esp. Someone Like You, Once Upon A Dream --> On My Own; Confrontation --> Confrontation (heh))

Jusy Jekyll and Hyde has an interesting similarity: Linda Eder, married to Frank Wildhorn, the composer, played the lead role of Lucy. Incidentally they also divorced later on. confused Omagosh, you're right! It's EXACTLY like ALW and Sarah!

Jusy In His Eyes: 'Angel of Music' (girl(s) praising the main guy) I've always thought that In His Eyes would make a great Erik/Raoul song about Christine if the genders were reversed.

PhantomoftheFox Jusy In His Eyes: 'Angel of Music' (girl(s) praising the main guy) I've always thought that In His Eyes would make a great Erik/Raoul song about Christine if the genders were reversed. Or with Cosette and Eponine in Les Mis, especially the "If I'm wise, I will walk away" part. ... There's too many love triangles in Broadway.

There really, really is... e_e But they're so nice and theatrical people just keep writing them. XD
Bat Boy the Musical is Phantomy, but doesn't have a love triangle. (Unless you count Edgar/Meredith/Dr. Parker, which I don't because it's only romantic on Parker's part.)

Just thought of this... Miss Saigon!
- Kim and Christine are both newcomers in their uh... shows
- Gigi and Carlotta are both higher up at the start of the show
- The Engineer and the managers... they like money and people watching their shows. 'nuff said
- Another love triangle, except Chris (Raoul) gets the girl
- Thuy's (Erik) scenes also involve parent references
The first act is ridiculously a lot like Phantom. The opposite can be said for the second act, though. But hey, two love triangles in one show! xd

Jusy Another love triangle, except Chris (Raoul) gets the girl No 'except'. Raoul does get the girl in POTO.

Oklahoma!
- Judd haunts her dreams and messes up a perfectly nice party.
- The main guy has all this talk about horses too.
- The couple try to "hide their relationship" though it's also ridiculously obvious
- Also has a auction! blaugh I think that takes the cake. How many musicals have auctions, eh? (Don't answer that, I'm bound to get embarassed again. It seems to be a common theme with me in this guild. sweatdrop )
