Dancing with the Phantom ~

Hello all!!

It's been absolutely ages since we've posted on here, and I finally got an idea for a post, so I pounced!!

If you'll remember, Christine was a part of the dance corps when it all began. So, I looked up Phantom of the Opera dancing, thinking that of course at least one of the numerous movies or plays made would have a good dance corps.

Apparently, not.

Maybe it's because I'm personally a dancer, a ballerina actually, but the pictures I was able to pull up were terrible! From what Google has been able to show me, none of the movies made so far have had an even descent dance corps!!! I was so surprised! I mean, honestly. If it was that big in the book, why not in the movie? I don't remember it being a part of the Emmy Rossum movie at all!!!

But anyway, once again it might be because I'm a dancer. How does it effect you? Does it really effect you at all? Is it because it was something you really wanted to see, or is it just because they didn't keep to the book? Or did you even notice?

And here's a little extra, because this is one good picture that I did find on my scavenger hunt.

Be blessed in your endeavors,
Nahla

Love Never Dies!!!

For all of you Phantom Phans:

How excited are you all about the world premiere of 'Love Never Dies'!?!?!?!

I remember how, in February 2009, when I went to see 'Phantom' on stage, I got excited when I read in my programme that Andrew Lloyd Webber was creating the musical's sequel!

Little did I know then, that it would be over a year before it came out, and even then I would have to wait even longer to hear the music or even hope to see it one day.

Well, on March 9, the show 'Love Never Dies' made it's debut on the world stage.

I don't know too much about the show itself yet, nor have I heard much of the music, but it is to my understanding that the basic premise of the story is that the main characters from the original 'Phantom' return in the sequel. The events of this new show occur ten years hence from the mysteries of the prequel. Christine Daae (or "de Chagny", as she has since become) accepts an offer to preform on Coney Island. Unbeknownst to her, however, is that the Phantom is determined to prove that Love Never Dies...

(Please also note that I used these pictures from the site above. They are from the acutall show and I do not own them.)

Anyway, I've checked out the album, but, much to my dismay, it is out of my budget for now (Saving for my trip to China and all... and a $20- $30 CD is too much) but I do hope to be able to purchase it sometime in the near future!

So, what do you all think of this new sequel? Are you excited? Doubtful? Giddy? Skeptical? I think that I am a pretty healthy mix of it all!!!


Pitiful creature of darkness,
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you,
You are not alone...
