He was there, the Phantom of the Opera! I doubt anyone could have been more excited than I! I was literally on a cloud of bliss! All through dinner I vibrated in expectance, eagerly devouring my food, wishing those around would finish so we could leave for the Jubilee Auditorium. We stepped into the Jubilee and amidst the jeans and ball gowns; I felt the overall excitement in the air. People chatted noisily, and drifted about, groundless in their own expectations. Some with masks splashed across their shirts. Others were holding a replica mask in their hands, and chatting away the time before they headed to their seats. Grandpa bought me a nice booklet on shiny paper, and for the rest of the evening I walked about with it clutched to my chest. A cute little girl named Bailey was with her Grandmother, my Grandma’s friend, so we talked. Going into grade seven, Bailey is. It’s strange. Anyway, back to Phantom. Okay, so we got our seats, and just before the music starts and as always, the two TALLEST people in the world sit in front of Grandma and I. 5’4 and 5’2 respectively. So I switched with Grandpa for the outside aisle, and I SAW EVERYTHING! Meg had a bit too much vibratto in her singing and she cut beautiful lines short for the sake of it. Christine was wonderful, and Raoul…yeah, Raoul was a babe. It makes the part about her choosing him make me feel a bit better. As well, he was a very good singer. Now, Andre and Firmin were amazing. Humorous and well cast was Piangi and La Carlotta. Madame Giry was stoic and a very good supporting singer. Now…to the Phantom. Wow. He was amazing. But….he was short. Only a bit taller than Christine. He would be standing on the platform, and then, he would step down and it was like “Whoa…okay what just happened?” There were also some scenes which drew me from the moment. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the Tenor Phantom. However…should he orgasm every time him and Christine touch, or nearly touch? It’s just awkward for him to be looking at Christine and singing ‘Music of the Night’, when he all of the sudden shudders and makes a “haaaaaa” sound like when a person persons their hands on a stove. The Haaaa before the AHHHH. It was a bit awkward. Then, in the unmasking scene, he drives her to falling, then, he runs to the other side of the stage, falls down, covers his face with his hand and then, as no Phantom I know would do… “WHY?” *looks down* “But Christine….fear can turn to love” *starts crawling with one ELBOW* “You’ll learn to see to find the man behind this” *crawl crawl* “Repulsive carcass that seems a beast…”
I’m sorry but…the Phantom doesn’t crawl.
Overall the effects were amazing, especially the Pyrotechnics. There were a few things here and there but nothing that really destroyed the overall effect. The boat crossing the lake was fantabulous, the candles rising from the stage…amazing. The Chandelier rising in the beginning was stunning as well. The costumes were wonderfully designed, the details noted and applauded. The scenery was also well constructed, melding into the storyline effortlessly. The lighting was ingenious, though a bit distracting with the odd flashes here and there which drew the eye from the stage.
Do not, and I repeat do not take it that I didn’t like it. I’m merely saying things that really stick out in my mind. Overall though, I loved it. I left in a nirvana of bitter sweetness. They say for the Phantom, everyone remembers their first time. I could not forget it.


I'll post this on my Diaryland as well, just for you Serena. ]]> ~midnightrain http://midnightrain.deviantart.com/journal/8864664/ http://midnightrain.deviantart.com/journal/8864664/ Wed, 24 May 2006 14:20:22 PDT (x)
