The Phantom Of The Opera

deleting all my dating apps because I want to meet someone the old-fashioned way (they pretend to be the angel of music sent by my dead father and then show up in my mirror to kidnap me)

I’m crying 😭

I think it would be sooooo funny if next year, Phantom shuts down, we all get over it, a new show opens up in the same building, rehearsals go fine, everyone tries so hard to get excited, but you know, it's a little forced but optimistic. And then on opening night right as everything is underway it's revealed this was like. The biggest marketing stunt of all time and the Phantom hijacks the show and it just continues on Broadway again like nothing happened.

“DID I NOT INSTRUCT THAT THE MAJESTIC THEATER BE KEPT OPEN FOR POTO?!”

Someone draw it. PLEASE.

not to be a middle aged mom but the phantom of the opera is really a perfect musical. its pure melodrama and 100% sincere about it. how the central conflict looks to be absolutely unsolveable as all three core characters sing to the extent that they just want to be with the person they love but only one person can get what they want and then!! Christine doesn’t choose anything she chooses to show the phantom she does care about him and he’s not alone!! love is the answer!! and then you think wow that was very cathartic that was excellent as the phantom lets raoul and christine go but then christine comes back to give him the ring and all i ask of you reprise starts and they wring just the last bit of emotion they can out of you for good measure. and then when you’re utterly spent Christine runs away and the Phantom brokenly sobs “I love you” as she and Raoul sail off I feel emotionally spent just writing this
