So who went to see Phantom 25? I thought overall it was pretty good, but I have some gripes:
1. The chandelier didn't fall. It didn't do anything but flicker a bit. Lame.
2. The screens instead of actual sets. Seemed cheap to me. Especially during close-ups.
3. Was it me or was Ramin really sharp on lots of his notes? I get vibrato, but it was waaaayyyy too much. But I still love him.
4. WATCHING Sarah Brightman singing. I can listen to her, but I can't watch her. And that dress. Don't get me started.
5. Michael Crawford NOT singing. I know he's still got it, why didn't he flaunt it?
But things I did like:
1. Ramin. Mmmm. Yum.
2. Hadley. Mmmm. Yum. I'd really hate to be Christine because that would be HARD. I'd just have 'em both.
3. I like Sierra. I'm totally jealous of her because she's way gorgeous and way talented. Yeah, she's a little breathy, but it works, IMO.
4. They acted our Joseph's death instead of just having a random dummy appear.
5. Michael & Sarah together. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they've done anything together since the show, right?
But anyway, I loved it. It's been far too long since I've gotten my phangirl on, and I got to again. *squee*

| The Phantom of Valletta |

The Phantom of Valletta, my own spin off, is the talk of the little isle of Malta. It was featured in The Sunday Times in Malta and just recently reviewed in the Insiter, a publication for the University of Malta. The Royal Opera House setting seemed to be a prime place to take the Phantom, however, I never realized it would cause such a stir among the locals.
For more information visit my website at: The Phantom of Valletta. Links to the reviews can be read here: Malta News Reviews

| Recommend a Translation? |

I need to hear what English translation of Gaston Leroux's original novel Phans recommend. I know that the only translation out prior to 1990 was horribly abridged and is now widespread due to being in the public domain. Among the more complete translations by Bair, Wolf, and the Lofficiers, which do most die-hard fans consider the best?
Please and thank you!

 I know a lot of people have asked where I've gotten my Love Never Dies images. Through tons of searching. But I decided to upload all the images I have of Love Never Dies to a gallery and share!
You can view them HEREI also added the link to our resource list. Anytime I find more, I'll upload to that gallery.

| I never posted my latest tattoo... |
[11 Jun 2010|09:08pm] |
So, my first POTO tattoo is on my left foot and reads "Trapdoor Lover" in very small text. The right reads "Little Lotte," also in very small text. But for my third POTO tattoo (my tenth tattoo in all) , I decided to commit some real skin. This is my only large tattoo.
Apollo's Lyre/F. de l'O.
Who else has POTO tattoos?

"Andrew Lloyd Webber and company want to delay the Love Never Dies Broadway premiere to do a little reworking including a new opening and a grander entrance for the Phantom.
Also the ending is apparently a disaster, so now they want to postpone the show until the spring!
As for the opening last month the reviews were mixed and it was so stressful that Lloyd Webber threatened to shut down the entire production since he's more eager to get on with his next show, Catch Me If You Can.
An insider said, "They did it for the money, and, boy, are they going to have to earn it now.""

So what do you think? Is there any hope left for this plot?

| LND soundtrack thoughts |

x~posted!
I got my copy of the Love Never Dies soundtrack yesterday. I've listened through it, and actually... I don't hate it as I thought I would. I've been very pessimistic about the sequel but I've tried to keep an open mind about it. Although I can understand why some are very upset about the decision to make a follow up, I still think people are generating too much hate for it. At least give it a chance. To begin with I was very distressed and convinced that I would absolutely detest the new production, but now that I've heard the soundtrack, I'm excited about seeing it in July. Of course it's nothing in comparison to the original. There aren't as many original songs, some of the lyrics are weak and it's often cliched. Some of the accents and the more showtuney songs get on my nerves, But otherwise... I don't mind it.
I do think there's too much stigma attached to feeling anything other than hate for LND. It's been made and people are going to see it, so feeling so much anger towards it is a bit of a waste of your emotions.
Has anybody else heard the soundtrack? What do you think? I wonder how long it will run?

Just a little discussion prompt that I've always been curious about:
Why do you think Madame Giry is the only character with a French accent when pretty much all of the characters are from France?
This place hasn't been active in a while, just thought I'd put something up.
