It's apparently happened at least once, according to the Lamentable Mess website:

Enjoying reading all the little mistakes… but that makes the show special. Can't remember which show and phantom it was…. but while he was walking do the stairs as Red Death…. he tossed the big book and instead of catching it…. it landed with a HUGE thud! The place went deadly quiet…. and it was picked up, humbly begging forgiveness… as the Phantom replied: 'See that it NEVER happens again!' and continued on. Most of the audience went with the flow… and my friend and I just giggled. (PhoenixRose)

That being said, I don't think I've caught it on any bootlegs, and I think it might be less difficult than you imagine. The score being thrown is fairly flat and large, which means it won't deviate from its path after being thrown much; furthermore, it's being tossed down from the Phantom to one of the managers, which I imagine makes it easier to aim and catch. And finally, depending on the Phantom, sometimes the two are standing relatively close by, like in this video where it seems like the actors are only 5 feet apart:

@timebird84​ i admire your resilience! you seem like you've been pretty consistent over the years, can't say the same for myself lmao

mimi i'm love you

Have you considered the following words:

I, meaning Mimi Rose Oh One, love you, in this case meaning Morgan Opera Ghost.

Signed,

Your Disobedient Servant,

“Ignore him, babe.”

I killed two birds with one stone with this one (kinda??) I didn’t know E/R was such a popular/cute ship. I posted that other drawing at 12am and I woke up and it had more than 50 notes! Thanks guys!

Ooh, this is interesting! I actually think the story would be very different.

We don’t know much about what kind of person Charles was, and if he would reject Erik too. But I feel like it is implied that part of Madeleine’s actions were because she was still recovering from the pain of losing both her parents and her husband, and being left alone. I think if Charles was by her side, she would not be as sad and lonely. So, she would not be for so long self-pitying, crying about how her life is horrible and all she has is a horrible son. Charles would be there to support her. 

So, even if he felt just like Madeleine did about Erik from the moment he was born, I believe that together they would come to accept the situation much more easily. 

I also think that Erik would grow up in a better enviroment. Just as bad as the lack of love, was the lack of discipline. He did misbehave a lot, and none of the adults around him could control him. I think Charles could. I mean, he married Madeleine, stubborn and spoiled Madeleine. 

And he could be a good role model too! Imagine little Erik watching him work on his designs every day, hiding, until he finally has the courage to ask to take a better look. And when Charles finds out he is not only interested in architeture, but gifted in it, he for the first time feels proud, for the first time feels that Erik is really his son, and they start bonding over it. 

Finally, in the book Erik runs away from home because his mother fell in love again and he wants to give her a chance to be happy again without him to mess it. If anything, at least this would not happen if Charles was still alive. Erik would not feel like he is stopping his mother from being happy if she was not all alone.

i bought this jacket from a seller on depop, and the listing didn’t mention anything about its origins. i figured it was something given to cast and crew, with the embroidered name and all. i found 2 similar listings online that had already been sold, with the names “sid” and “randy.”

i couldn’t find any more details beyond the light googling i did, so i was wondering if you had any info for when these may have been made/distributed? whether it was for west end or broadway, etc etc?

(i attached two pictures to this ask, i’ve never used this feature for the inbox so i hope you’re able to see it)

thank you!
