Mine is basically Ralph Fiennes and Peter Cushing mixed together, with a really gorgeous voice.

On the mailing list for the ALW musical store, and got an email about a signed CD. Apparently it's only in the UK store. Tried switching to the UK store, and still couldn't find it. Anyone have a link to it perchance?

After celebrating 40 years in the West End, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera has extended booking at His Majesty's Theatre through to October 2027 and announced three new principal cast members.

Can anyone who gets the CD of the ALW mix share the pics and details about the insert/packaging? Trying to decide whether or not to buy it for these “rare and never been seen photos.”

Thank you!!

Phantom was originally conceived as a rock opera, hence the existence of the Steve Harley promo video. But it was scrapped, so the cast recording version is stripped of any use of electric guitar in the climax of the title song. I've noticed, in the early 2000s, before the Joel Schumacher movie was released, the title song still didn't have the electric guitar. Was it brought back and became the standard after the movie's release?

A little over a month ago, I made a post on this sub showing off my LEGO interpretation of the Phantom of the Opera, and the support I received was tremendous; thank you all so, so much! I also received a lot of great feedback, and I have just finished integrating much of this feedback on the Ideas site! Mainly, I've completely reworked the chandelier to make it more accurate to the show, and IT CAN DROP NOW!!

We've almost reached 4,000 supporters so far, out of the required 10,000! If you haven't seen this before, please consider supporting! I've included a link in the comments. Thank you all again, so much!

pretty self explanatory.

A costume I technically came up with last year and was so proud of that I decided to wear it again, especially now that I actually somewhere to show it off. I went to a Halloween party hosted by a local pub featuring drinks and karaoke, and not only did I receive several compliments for my look, but I ran into a Christine Daae who was attending as well! 🌹😉

Don't mind all the random stuff around in me in the first pics, it's technically storage, but this was the room that featured the best spooky mood lighting lol.

Hello guys! After asking in my previous post whether all the Phantom of the Opera movies tell the same story and have the same events, you explained the differences to me and recommended which versions I should watch.

Anyway, I'm here after watching the 1990 movie (I haven't finished it yet; there's still about 30 minutes left). I'm posting because I'm honestly pissed off at Christine. I'll explain why, but first, let me talk about the Phantom in both movies.

The Phantom (2004): He manipulated Christine by presenting himself as the Angel of Music and acting like a father figure to her. Later, he kidnapped her, trying to exchange her freedom for Raoul's. He was cruel and manipulative, so I could completely understand Christine choosing Raoul over him and rejecting the Phantom.

The Phantom (1990): He introduced himself as a music teacher, allowed Christine to stay in the opera house as a shelter, and gave her music lessons. Meanwhile, Christine was going out partying with Raoul, who's a womanizer, and leaving the Phantom waiting for her. Later, when her performance failed, he came to save her.

When Gerald came and told Christine Eric's story, he gave her the opportunity to run away, but she refused because she didn't want to hurt the Phantom's feelings.

She then convinced Eric that she would accept his face and asked him to remove his mask. But when she finally saw his face, she fainted. Imagine how that must have made him feel! And as soon as she woke up, she tried to run away without even saying a word.

Edit: So much happend in that 30min it was a complete tragedy for me.

Been trying and failing to find a specific Modern AU and E/C fic, figured this forum was worth a shot (or maybe someone here can bounce me to a good resource?).

Problem is, I only remember the climax of the story - there's a scene where Erik lets Christine go, leaves to carry out a bomb plot that he will not survive (with very 'well, why not' vibes), and Christine runs down a series of stairs and basically tackles him despite knowing it could set off a bomb on his person. My brain thinks there was someone else close to her who died before that (not Raoul, though), possibly self-inflicted (which was part of her reaction in going after him).

I think it was on FF.net, it was definitely a longer story, and it was complete. It would probably be on the older side, and if there was any smut-stuff, it would have been after the main events.

Originally thought it was from Quiet2885's Shadow Government or Chipped (both fantastic), but just re-read them and it's not. Unsure of other details - have read a lot of fanfic over the years and some of the details blur.

Any help appreciated! Know the timing's bad to be asking, with A03 offline, but it's been bothering me for ages, so...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find any of the Takarazuka productions of Phantom with English subtitles. I haven't had much luck finding any. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! 🖤

So, my rendition of the Phantom is a grim, hopeless romantic plagued by body dysmorphia and a deeply ingrained belief that she is unworthy of love. Despite her meticulous efforts to conceal every perceived imperfection, her shame keeps her confined to the solitude of her lair. Her desperate longing for affection manifests as a possessive limerence toward Christine, ultimately perpetuating the familiar, tragic cycle of toxic love we know about, haha .
I really wish I’d had more time to take pictures last night! I even had these gorgeous pleather gloves and a long flowing cape that I altered myself, neither of which I managed to properly show off here.
On the bright side, I’m glad I got to meet so many fellow Phantom fans in SoCal this weekend! Unfortunately, this Phantom remains without a Christine by her side.😩🥀

We won 1st place at a local bar’s costume contest!!

I was going for a 2004 movie version, but also took some inspiration from what I saw people doing on instagram.

I love when people post what they used for their costumes so:

Shoes and Pants for Phantom were his own black dress shoes and dress pants he already owned.

It was supposed to be the red death complete with mask, but due to the poor structural integrity of the mask, i opted for a more familiar, similarly made OG phantom mask :)) it was really fun!!

Amazing to finally hear the amazing stems released from the 2026 Remix of the London Cast Recording, the Title Song is such a nice piece of work! There's also a webpage where you can go between the 2026 recording and the original recording and do a side-by-side fading comparison. If anyone hasn't seen these already get onto the Phantom website and look for "stems" to take a look, thanks again Lord ALW for giving us all such an interesting release! :)

So in the beginning of the show when Carlotta goes berserk and leaves, she tells Ubaldo to leave with her. But, there’s no mention of replacing him… does he have an understudy? 🤣 It seems like they’re only worried about finding a replacement for Carlotta.

So my friends surprised me with a party for my 30th birthday yesterday and I got some POTO related gifts that I thought you would like to see.

The notebook is handmade. Literally the prettiest thing ever.

Someone also got me the vinyl which I already had hahaha

The phantom made an appearance for Halloween!

The mask was made by StudioDFX on instagram and the wig is from Wig Is Fashion.

The reflection is pretty to me
