Crazy, it's Christmas day! It doesn't feel like it though. No snow on the ground!
Just finished watching Phantom of the Opera! Wasn't expecting anything spectacular...it did helped me clarify who's who on the CD version though. The girl who played Christine was well cast; young, pretty, she could sing! Raoul was great in the scene on the roof of the opera house. Otherwise, I thought his performance was a little weak. His "Bravo" in Act 1 was lame. Phantom - wow, different than I expected...and I'm pretty sure his relationship with the Opera's ballet mistress was new. Didn't really sympathize with his character as I did in the musical. He just didn't seem charming - pushy, and overly obsessive about Christine. It was completely unbelievable that she would sympathize with him after all the murdering and threats. The sets were pretty nice, many beautiful costumes and some nice camera angles, although a bit choppy at in some of the scenes. Minnie Driver is just scary as the Prima Donna. I hope that wasn't her singing!
Yesterday was VERY exciting. YAY COLLEEN!!!
