23 Years Is A Long Time To Wear A Mask

Here, the Phantom demonstrates his mastery of the chokehold.
On this date, October 9th, 1986 at Her Majesty’s Theater in London (Yes, the English one!), The Phantom of the Opera opens to rave reviews and sold out shows…I think they’re probably still sold out. And, simply because Sarah Brightman had the lead is in no way meant to reflect any kind of nepotism on the part of lecherous composer(and Brightman’s husband at the time) Andrew Lloyd Webber. Wait, did I say lecherous…I meant talented.

*squee*
Yes, I do a little bit of a Beatles fan-girl hysterical squeal whenever Phantom is mentioned. I’ve loved is from day one. My friends and I did a History Day project on Phantom of the Opera back in 10th grade (I think). I wore out my old soundtrack tape back in high school.

I’ve always wanted to see Phantom on-stage. I’ll definitely jump on my first chance to do so.
