The story does destroy some of the Myth and magic of the Phantom himself.
It makes him more human in a way.Which of course is all he is but when he was just a shade your imagination could fill in the blanks.
Saw the show in melbourne when i went down for the Elton john gigs then again in sydney when i was there for the Wall concerts,
Glad they filmed the show.
The title track is nice.I was a bit put out when it turned up in "The beautiful game"
I was like,hang on, this is for POTO 2.
