I adore the black band holding on the Phantom's mask.

Oh man, I'd love to watch some video clips from it.

Yet another reason why:

THE SHOW SUCKS!

They look a bit old for high school. Especially the phantom. Did the geometry teacher step in to play the role?

OH Puh-lease (Two syllables).

You don't think fans of classic, ground breaking musicals like Oklahoma thought their shows were sacred too? look on the bright side, in 20 years high school shows will be what keeps this old turkey alive.

Personally, I don't like Phantom; I'm just amused by the thought of a teenaged girl singing the title cadenza.

No, Cal--they're just in REALLY bad shape.

Are those the two best guys they could find? They look like a pair of Dickensian-themed salt and pepper shakers.

Well, it's the first time I've ever seen a high-schooler with a combover.

Still, Fran Drescher's looking great these days!

The picture does need a thought bubble over the phantom saying "I'll claw that bitch's eyes out!"

Are you SURE you want to see this?

Oh, my.

I've said it before, but thank heavens YouTube did not exist when I was in high school. Otherwise, that choreographed version of "All By Myself" might be floating around somewhere.

At least their Christine is blonde!

Eek, she's not singing the turns (? can't think of a better word for it) in the cadenza.

Oh my god Lildogs - that is the funniest thing ever! I can't think of a more perfect description :)

While I don't generally approve of it, I do think certain HSs (including my former one) could pull it off. However, EVERY student would have had to have extensive vocal training (which my school gives), and I personally would lower the entire score a whole-step.

Oh dear, Cal.

I once sang "Pass That Peace Pipe" for a 4th of July concert...and yes, it was as bad as it sounds.

That's hilarious.

I LOVE IT!

Eh, I'd hit it (the girl, that is).

What staging, what voices, what costumes, what a set, in short "what the hell is it?" - A Saturday Night Live spoof of POTO? Was that Adam Sandler under the mask?

Phantom is one of my favorite shows (no matter what others on the list may say)but that Youtube made me ill.
