Posted: 6/22/06 at 3:12pmI have seen Phantom both live and on film. Each time I preferred the version I conjured up in my head as I listened to the London Cast CD while painting a house in 1988.

Posted: 6/22/06 at 3:13pmYou're not the only one. When I saw it I was actually kind of bored. I would probably see it again, though, if I had better seats and was in the orchestra.

God I thought this thread was over.
"Words and Music. I love them. And especially what happens when you put them together into songs. And sing them, in a large building, in a central part of town, as part of a play, with a lot of people listening, who have all paid a great deal to get in." - Edward Kleban, composer/lyricist of A Class Act and lyricist of A Chorus Line

Posted: 6/22/06 at 9:25pmMillie . . . I also would see it again. We had pretty good seats but I would love to have been closer and more toward the center though. I think that overall even though I was bored during some scenes it was still good and worth a second look. And I definitely want to see Howard McGillin again. He is so nice and so talented!
"I wrote a book: "How to Be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list of how to help you:
-Elphie, everyday... shower. I mean, who knows? Maybe some of that green is gonna come off!
-Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch!
-I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that.
-Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say.
-Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular!
-Bed made, room straightened. We've done that.
-Colors blended. Oookay.
-But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile."
~Kristin Chenoweth in her last performance of the song "Popular"

I really have to admit I love Phantom. My dad after seeing it said this: "Why did I just pay for a three hour nap?"
My point? To each his own. If you love it great. If you don't, that's fine too. Plays and musicals are considered an art. And like all art forms, there are going to be people that love it, and others that are going to criticize it.
Arghh! Grammar pet peeve #1: your vs you're. "Your" is a possessive pronoun. "You're" is the contraction of "you are."

I have never known Miss Dirty Rotten Scoundrel to "flip out."
P.s. Why do you paste your signature at the bottom of every post?

He did that before he figured out how to create a real signature.
I'm still wondering why he uses accents rather than the correct punctuation.

So, this is the message that I sent him that makes him hate me:
6-4-06:
Just FYI, name dropping is frowned upon. Second of all, no offense, but exchanging severals messages every once and a while does NOT make you friends with a person...
I don't understand how that's mean! Or me flipping out, I didn't even mention a specific actor lol.
