I think I might join the Love Never Dies livestream just to be that horribly annoying person nitpicking and snarking away at everything.

Love Never Dies;
creatively-katierae: I enjoy the soundtrack songs better than the ones in the actual show on DVD. 50% because of Ramin, the other 50% because there are lines and extra songs I think they should have kept. I read that it was best they scrapped them, but is that really true? If anyone knows where I can see the version with Ramin and Sierra, please link me. In my opinion, it was for the best...

targaryen-beauty: Chrisitine didn’t need to see his face… she would’ve been happily in love with him if she wasn’t stupid and judged the Phantom by his appearance… She makes me so mad.  Um, no. Christine at the end of the film said, “This haunted face holds no horror for me now. It’s in your soul that the true distortion lies.” (Emphasis mine.) She was not afraid of his...

rinarae323: Ladies and Gentlemen, I am officially a Phan. I watched Phantom of the Opera last weekend. It’s marvelous. I know, I know, I can’t really say that I’m a Phan until I’ve experienced the actual play, but I got such strong feels from the movie I don’t know if I can handle the play. I saw a GIF set… Welcome to the phandom! Before getting on to other stuff, I would like to...

tae-la-la: Some people who are rejecting LND have only seen the movie The Phantom of the Opera and never the stage production. I can’t help but feel that many of those people are just being picky (perhaps unintentionally) about LND being a stage production. Of fucking course movies and stage productions… I find that kind of interesting. Almost everyone I’ve seen who rejects LND is...

30 Day Phantom Challenge (Day 4)
fowfz: 4.  Who is your least favorite character overall? Hmm. Id have to say Carlotta, the was she sings is unbearable, and the was she treats Christine is annoying.  The way Carlotta sings is, well, operatically, and is what Parisian audiences would expect to hear. If we’re going by the movie, then poor Emmy Rossum is actually the one who would be considered the worse singer. Plus,...

yourethewishtomystar: Ramin Karimloo, why in the world did he decide that in POTO 25th it would be a good idea to crawl on the floor towards Sierra like a mutilated caterpillar when trying to convince her to love him during “stranger than you dreamt it?” other than that, love him! Just about every Phantom in every production of ALW’s POTO has done that; it’s required blocking. I...

sarfaticriss asked: Hello :) I'm seeing Phantom on Broadway in August and I know Hugh's run ends before that, do we have any information if he is going to renew or if it's going to be somebody else? And if so who? (Just asking because I really want to see Hugh) Cheers x :)

thephantominshades replied to your post: Do you happen to know when Katy Treharne is leaving? What are they doing together? What type of tour? Singing? Ha ha. I’m not too sure; on Deserted Phans, it only mentioned that they will be touring Sweden together. And she wants to audition for other things, move on from Phantom, etc.

Anonymous asked: Hi there. I hope you could help me. I've been looking for a certain Polish performance, I know it exists but I can't find it and it drives me mad. It's the last performance with funny jokes and so on. I have audio but a video hides somewhere, too and this is the POTO I desperately want. I collect and love Phantoms but I'm not a trader, I hope you don't mind....

thephantominshades: Sofia Escobar just confirmed that she will be playing Christine in London until September 2013! And I was just on Deserted Phans, where someone said that Katy Treharne is leaving. Sadness. But she’s going on tour, so it’s a good thing for her. Hopefully London will keep getting ones like her.

2pworth asked: Hi. Do you have the audio of JOJ's last performance in London? I was wondering if you could possibly give a link as a gift or is it strictly for trade? I would love to do a trade but the only audios I have are from the ones you've posted on Tumblr since I'm not really a trader. Sorry. :(

I am looking to get as close as possible to the 8 April 2003 performance as possible. I don't have anything to trade, but I just wanted to see the coupling of my first Phantom and Christine again. Otherwise, I'm just dying to see some clips...

Anonymous asked: Hello! So sorry if you've answered this before, I was thinking about when I went to see Phantom in London and I'm trying to remember the cast. I know that JOJ was Phantom, Will Barratt was Raoul, but I can't remember who Christine was - I think it was either Gina Beck or Sofia Escobar? I went on Dec 21st 2010. Would be lovely if you could help me? :)
