2. I think it may have been doing the rounds on FB.

I got it last night on FB from a friend of my son, who is also extended family, and who was stand in for Javert when the 21st anniversary performances were first running at the Queens Theatre in London prior to the 25th Anniversary bash at the 02. Only disappointment there was that they use a reduced size set to accommodate the stage size. The set when it was on at the Palace Theatre in the '90 was simply huge.

I wasn't wary about the film version. They made a pretty good job of transferring Phantom to the screen.

I've got both the 10th and 25th DVDs and can't wait to get the film when its released.

First time I saw it back in the early '90s someone said take a hankie. I'm glad I did - still cracks me up even now.
