Episode #66 then - a musical in its third decade. Some of you may recall the strange affair of The Phantom of the Opera, the longest running Broadway show in history... a mystery never fully explained. We're told that this is the very production that figured in the famous disaster (that, of course, being Cameron Mackintosh's stranglehold on American musical theatre). Rehearsals over the pandemic have restored it, so that we may get a hint of what it may have felt like when it was new. One may even feel the presence of the two co-hosts who bore witness to this very production, and hear the reverberations of their discussions pertaining to gift horses, the CATS movie, and whether or not the show with over 13,000 performances is a good musical. Perhaps we may frighten away the ghostly bitches of so many words ago with a little conversation. Gentlemen!
Tune in to next week's episode when we discuss The Life; specifically, the Broadway production's performance from April 24th 1997!
