Oooh, scandal! I too, do not like that version very much. I think it has it's moments (I like the scene when Erik is giving lessons to Christine while at the same time Carlotta and her husband are humiliated with disastrous perfomances of classic operas). I don't remember pretty much any of the songs except, like three, most of the score was not memorable. Also plot wise, it was veyr odd, much weaker than ALW's (which in comparison looks like the holy grail to that show's adaptation, but, wont get into that again).
To secret-soul: I enjoyed reading your post and with that in mind look at the whole show very differently. Still, I thought the show lacked much of the emotion and message of Erik that the novel held. But, no adaptation can be perfect (in one way or another). So, I will now close the box to my opinion on that and discuss other things.
