For my 18th birthday my parents paid for me to go and see 'The Phantom Of The Opera' on the West End! It was truly magical. The staging, the music, the costume, the song lyrics were all beautiful! I couldn't fault it. It's honestly my favourite musical.
I went to see it when John Owen Jones and Sofia Escobar played The Phantom and Christine and I was amazed at their talent. It made me want to get up and be in the show myself and I hope one day I will be!
At this point in the musical The Phantom has written his own Opera for the company to perform and has given the lead role to Christine. He himself is performing in it, he has just killed the lead male backstage and emerged in a black cloak covering his face. He is trying to capture his moment with Christine as he has fallen in love with her. Without Christine knowing she is singing about her undying passion for The Phantom (she thinks its part of her role but The Phantom is under the cloak) She realises that The Phantom is under the cloak when he becomes very touchy feely with her within his role. She takes off the cloak hood to reveal the mask and then he breaks into the classic 'All I Ask Of You' which bought me to tears and then she pulls of his mask to reveal his true self!
Its an amazing moment in the show as you see The Phantom's love for Christine but you also see how scared Christine is of the Phantom when she realises who is under the cloak but she does care for him when he sings the reprise of 'All I Ask Of You.' I believe she takes off the mask to see who The Phantom really is as she herself has fallen in love with him at this point! A touching moment indeed.
Its just amazing :)!!!!
