Phantom Of The Opera Is Fantastic And Has One Of The Best Soundtracks And You Can Fight Me


There are too many people who don't know about Phantom Of The Opera. Everyone should know about it. When my best friend once texted me that she had finally watched the movie after me pestering her about for what seemed like years and I felt an immense sense of pride. She loved it. I mean who wouldn't? It has the best love triangle ever and Rock Opera. Oh you heard me, Rock Opera. You know what's better than hearing people reach crazy high notes and sound good? Having drums and electric guitar along with it. Don't believe me?
Phantom Of The Opera Theme
Music of the Night (a.k.a. the one that makes me swoon)
All I Ask Of You (a.k.a. one of reasons the love triangle is so difficult for me to pick one ship)
and finally Point Of No Return (a.k.a. the risque one that makes me blush listening to it)
This musical was made the genius, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber (Yes, he is a sir! Officially). In case that doesn't have you hooked here are some pictures:
From the movie (Left to right: Phantom, Christine Daae, Raoul De Chagny)
From the movie (The Phantom seducing Christine in his underground sewer lair. This is where Music of the Night is happening)
From the movie (Raoul and Christine dancing at a masquerade)
From the movie (The Phantom crashing the New Years party because he is dramatic like that)
From Broadway (Carlotta in singing in Hannibal)
From Broadway (Christine and the Phantom entering his underground sewer lair. This is where the Phantom of the Opera Theme is happening)
From Broadway (The masquerade. Here is the song)

So basically this girl Christine is a chorus girl/ballet dancer at this Opera House in Paris. The leading lady throws a tantrum and leaves Christine to fill in her place because a mysterious 'Angel of Music' who her dead father 'sent from heaven' has been teaching her to sing opera. Actually it's the Phantom and is obsessed with Christine and is desperately in love with her but also doesn't want her to see him without his mask on. Raoul, Christine's long lost childhood friend appears because he is sponsoring (funding) the Opera House, and guess what? He is in love with her too! Drama and awesome music ensue as stakes are raised and Christine must choose who she ends up with because the Phantom is a psycho but he has a tragic backstory and amazing voice which is why he isn't immediately hated. You should definitely watch whatever version you can get your hands on or at least listen to the songs on YouTube. The Original London Cast is the soundtrack I listen to. So if you love musicals and drama and love triangles 10/10 this is for you! (BTW if you think the movie/musical is crazy the book is a billion times worse. Oh my word you don't know what psycho is until you have read the book...

Goodnight again!
