I am totally and helplessly obsessed with Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera. It is my favorite movie ever. EVER. Note that "ever" is in all CAPS.

After watching it, I felt compelled to write my own sequel which lead to other stories as well and several others that I have yet to write. I have read Gaston Leroux's original The Phantom of the Opera and I must say that I am simply fascinated by this timeless classic! The phantom is such an alluring character and I could not help myself but to be intrigued by such a tale--or tragedy. A tragic story of love, passion, obsession, music, horror, rejection, and a bit of magic/illusion...who could ask for more? Oh, and lest us not forget O.G. A powerful, self-loathing, talented, passionate, disfigured genius is our dearest Erik, and we must thank M. Leroux for such a wonderful and inspiring character! Imagine the world without our beloved P.O.T.O. I know...bleak is it not?

Like I have said: I have read the original novel "The Phantom of the Opera" by M. Gaston Leroux. I have read "The Phantom of Manhattan" by Fredrick Forsyth, but I have yet to read Susan Kay's novel. I have seen the very first black and white version of the film as well as the remake in the eighties, but my favorite by far was that of Andrew Lloyd Webber (The 2004 film featuring Gerard Butler as our dearest Phantom). One could say I am obsessed. I have heard rumor and now confirmed them that in fact, Andrew Lloyd Webber has his sequel in progress. I can hardly wait.
