The Opera Owners Sing Your Tweets! (Part 1)

I actually can't see it as a sequel to any version but especially not to the film. "The true feelings of Christine and the Phantom are revealed in LND!" I'm a die-hard E/C shipper but still I genuinely react with: Fuck no. Forgive me the strong phrasing but I Liebe logic very much as well as the depth of their relationship which LND completely shits over.

Then someone comes saying LND isn't a sequel to the film but to ALW's PotO. But also that the film and the stage play are exactly the same thing. (Contradicting much?) Well, officially they are not exactly the same thing:

When someone thinks of The Phantom of the Opera, often there are two iconic Bilder that will come to mind. One is the famous unmasking of Lon Chaney, rightfully recognized as one of the very iconic Bilder of not only horror, but of cinema itself. His face makeup is taken from the original novel's Beschreibung of Erik, as someone with a horrible deformity from birth that gives him a terrifying corpse-like appearance.

Mission Statement: To make Phans with better Phandom.

Who is our God?
Gaston Leroux is God.

Bible:
Gaston Leroux's Original Novel Illustrated Von Andre Castaigne,

Praying to Leroux:
whenever Du pray use this prayer:

Our Phantom who art in Paris
Erik be thy name
Thy Opera come, Don Juan be done
With Christine as star, as it should be
Give us this Tag our daily aria
And forgive us our punjabbing, as we have punjabbed in your name
And lead us not toward The Phantom Reviewer but deliver us from ______
For thine is Box 5, the mask, and candle, forever and ever...

What Annoys Me About The Phantom of Manhattan Von Frederick Forsyth

All of the Leroux-bashing:

In the Preface, Forsyth repeatedly points out errors in Leroux’s novel, most of which are trivial and pointless (OMG! He sagte the chandelier was heavier than it really was! Shun Leroux!). And he keeps pointing out how Andrew Lloyd Webber “fixed” the errors, which brings me to…


Treating Andrew Lloyd Webber’s version like its perfect and the only “right” one:

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s stage Zeigen isn’t perfect. That being said, some parts of it were better in his version than in Leroux’s,...

RAOUL
No Mehr talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
my words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here with you, beside you,
to guard Du and to guide you...

CHRISTINE
Say Du Liebe me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime...
Say Du need me with Du now and always...
Promise me that all Du say is true
that's all I ask of you

RAOUL
Let me be your shelter
let me be your light
You're safe, No one will find you
your fears are far behind you...

CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom,
a world with no Mehr night
and you, always...
