OT - Do you like Phantom of the Opera?
Hey folks,
I'm looking for folks who like Phantom of the Opera, and also who like to read... I have recently assisted in the completion of a new musical, "Angel of Music" the untold prequel to Phantom of the Opera, and I'm looking for a few select folks to read a copy of the script and give me feedback. It is just the script only, as the music has not been composed yet, but my friend and I have worked hard on this and we are having our first reading this weekend. I am being selective in who i give the script to, because even though the script is copyrighted, i would prefer not to have it all over the internet, for obvious reasons. So I'm looking for folks who are willing to read the script, keep it confidential and also willing to write down what they liked and disliked. I'm not looking for someone who will read it and then say, 'It's nice' or 'It didn't make sense'. I'm looking for SPECIFICS. 'I like the scene where....' or 'I was confused by...' as those types of comments will help me and my friend improve the script. If you think you can do all of this, please send me a private email and I'll contact you. Please do not be offended if i do not choose you for this study, as I said I'm being selective in the number of people i send this to. Thanks a bunch, Kristi |

Thanks a bunch, Kristi I adore Phantom, have seen the broadway version twice (Once in NYC!) and the movie a zillion times, even though the movie version is a tad cheesy, the score is still awesome. I've practically worn out the CD soundtrack (Crawford as Phantom). Wish I could take you up on your offer; but I'm afraid I don't have enough of an attention span these days. But tell me this. Where did the Phantom get his $$$$?? I mean, I know he gets a salary from the operahouse, but I'm sure he didn't in the early days And that was a pretty darn impressive lair he had there. Plus some very stylish duds and what's more; he *had* to learn all that charm and savoir- faire (sp?). Child circus freaks don't learn that on the job, and certainly don't make enough to go to Phantom-finishing-school to learn the ways of the debonaire. Just thinkin'. I do think a prequel is an awesome idea. Look what Wicked did for the Wiz of Oz. BTW, my favorite moment ever is when the Phantom goes "You will curse the day you did not do all that the phantom asked of you. Michael Crawford was definitely the best Phantom, but Gerard Butler deliverered that line chillingly. Colm Wilkinson just didn't have the right voice. Also, *somewhere* the warning "Keep Your Hand at the Level of Your Eyes" needs to be explained. You never know *why* in the broadway versions *or* the movie. I was watching the Lon Chaney silent version one night and there it was. It seems the Phantom was fairly handy with a lasso and you had to protect your neck. Of course I could have read the original *book*, which probably answered the trivia question, but theres that little problem with attention span. Sorry for rambling. Good luck with this, Kris.

Sherry Sherry Well I don't want to give away too much, but we explore the Phantom's origins. His name in the book is Erik, and my friend who came up with the original story is remaining very faithful to the book, regarding Erik's childhood. Our dialogue just explores it a little more. We have a scene with Erik's mother and then eventually have gypsies performing their show and followed by the masked magician Erik, performing 'Escape from the Punjab Lasso'....hereby introducing certain important elements seen Phantom...we explain how he built his lair, and even how he ended up with half a mask on his face... Lots of fun, script doesn't even take that long to read. only 61 pages. :P Kristi |
