I was obsessed with the Phantom of the Opera as a young girl and, tragically, I had no internet and no one to tell me how to not romanticize tragically torn, broken men.
As a consequence, I’m now married to an opera ghost.
Ooooh! That could be very interesting. At the very least we know he loves actresses! He could definitely play the Phantom, but would he be willing to cover his face and get all gruesome underneath for it? Hm…
I want to take a few quick commissions over the next two or three days because I need cash so If you’re interested in a sketch-ish drawing like the ones above, done traditionally (you get a high-res scanned file) for like 15€ hit me up via the chat function (please not asks since they get lost easily and it’s hard to keep track of everything). :^)
“James Corden has once again managed to convince producers at The Late Late Show to let him have a go at another one. As part of his latest elaborate ruse to crack Broadway, the 36-year-old took on the role of the Phantom from The Phantom Of The Opera on Friday.
James stopped traffic in Hollywood as he screamed the lyrics from the show at the top of his lungs. At one point he was even seen hurtling across the road as he tried to make it back to the pavement before the cars moved off from the traffic lights. The Gavin and Stacey star wildly gesticulated from beneath his sequinned cloak as he applied himself fully to the dramatic performance”
Okay, so my boyfriend thinks Lestat would be Raoul (dashing hero, bit hot-headed) and Claudia should be Christine… only she’d sing Shirley Temple songs.
Claudia as Christine…There’s a scary, yet very fitting, thought.
Should we have Marius as the Phantom? Only he wouldn’t wear a mask – He’d refuse to hide all that beauty.
Alright, wait, in retrospect Claudia as Christine would be kick-ass. There wouldn’t be any of the “Oh, I think I’m in love with the Phantom,” quivering. She’d choose him, kick his ass, and make him her own. Claudia takes no prisoners.
It’s funny you should say that, because my boyfriend just made this photoshop of Louis as the phantom… and of course, Claudia has that moment in IWTV where she says that Louis had to live, rather than Lestat, because he’d be the more controllable of the two…
