I mean this is BEAUTIFUL. This is probably the only production where he hands the sheets of music to her so that she can read and relate on a soulfully different level with him. A languge only two musical geniuses can decipher. It's like he finally found the companion with whom he can share his talents without being judged. Because all his life he could not show himself to the world although he was really talented.
I never cry to this song, but this version made me ball my eyes out. This phantom is probably my favourite since Crawford, his voice is just so passionate and honest.
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you Hear it, fear it, secretly possess you Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind This darkness which you know you cannot fight The darkness of the music of the night2 Close your eyes, start a journey to a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before Close your eyes and let music set you free Only then can you belong to me
Hvor lenge går denne? Har ufattelig lyst til å se! Stor fan av boken, musikalen i London og filmen (samt musikken, selvsagt), men så var det dette med å finne tid til å fly bort før det er for seint...
ThePersianTenor to be fair, the *original* mask (in the book by Gaston Leroux) was a full faced mask, so complaining about a mirrored version of an already extremely doctored version, comes across as pretty misguided, if not hypocritical.
ThePersianTenor I’m sure they got the rights to make the musical so altering the mask was probably not a condition for the license. Had they been real bros, the mask would always have been full.
sazuke8991 i wonder if the French thought the same thing when the English decided to make an English speaking musical out of their originally French book. Just saying...
