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. | |
