But I am going to say it anyway. I AM GOING TO SEE THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!! Okay, I had my brief spazz attack.

As we all should know the Phantom of the Opera is travelling around the U.S. and my sister and I have the great delight of attending one of the performances. even though my sister constantly argues with me about the small inconsistences between the book by Gaston Leroux and the play by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Her main issue is that she believes Erik is not ugly enough ( In the book his entire face is deformed and he lacks a nose)... and that Christine does not have blonde hair. I tell her that Mr. Webber used a thing called "Artistic License", allowing him to change the play in any way he sees fit, whether or not we agree with it. She also would probalay like to say that she thinks they replaced the Persian with a Monkey music box in the 2004 version.

My sister and I have a obsession with the Phantom of the Opera and we have watched almost every film version of the Phantom of the Opera, including the cartoon version, which I have to say is probalay the most accurate. The film by Lon Chaney is accurate... to some extent. My sister says that the scences were too long I then reminded her that it was a silent film, and so all movements and experssions had to be overdone. Her and I both agree, that we didn't like how Lon Chaney potrayed the Phantom, and we didn't prefer the ending much either...
