The Phaaaaaaantom of the opera is here, inside my house

PSA: The ALW musicals streaming offer for this weekend is Phantom of the Opera, available from 6:30pm BST for 24 hours in the UK only, 48 elsewhere (rights issues, apparently...). It is here. It's the Albert Hall stage production, not the film, so hopefully the leads will be able to sing. I am shattered after returning to work this week. Yesterday I found I was rather enjoying myself, and did 4 1/2 hours, which was too much, and then today I started with an hour long meeting with someone, followed by a second meeting for 30 mins, and then I had to get a draft agenda out and now my head is exploding. Thank goodness it is the weekend! I have a date with the sofa and a jigsaw. And an Ocado delivery.

It sounds great! My mother has pointed out that it was my 18th birthday, not 16th. I did also go with the local music centre, and with friends after a university open day in Manchester. What can I say, I really liked Phantom...

I'd love to see it again live but I did thoroughly enjoy the recording.

My mother had forgotten about the coach trip when I mentioned it. She went to see it in London with Dad and some guests he was entertaining for work in 1990 apparently, although she mostly seemed to remember what a crap view she had and how the people in the seats behind were leaning over her because they couldn't see either, so I got the better deal I think!
