Phantom of the Opera

childlike_fancy took me to see Phantom of the Opera at the Paramount on Thursday. It was an excellent performance, in my opinion (which is not a particularly strong one in this case, due to my lack of previous experience with the musical). Oddly enough, the thing that stuck most in the mind was the tiny pizza place where we ate dinner. The owner/cashier/chef of the place was very talkitive, at least he was to childlike_fancy, with whom he flirted with almost constantly.

I can really identify with the Phantom during most of the play, but I think that if Christine and Rowles had been trying to get away from me, I would have let them and gone back to obsessing about the theatre. Oh, and I would have avoided killing people (but I might give a few people a near miss with a sand bag with a mocking note pinned to it that would make it abundantly clear that, theoretically, I could have just popped their vertebral discs and given them a little more than a little visit to the chiropractor.

All in all, a good night.
