Phantom of the Opera is going to have a sequel...

[Robin in Tx]

Probably old news to most of you, but it's the first I've heard! I'm cautiously excited :).

See, watching Celebrity Appentice *does* have its benefits! LOL

I had not heard of this. It's one of my favorite movies.

Thanks,

I don't know if it is going to be a movie or the play. Hmmm... didn't think of that before now. I would think the play, but maybe not?

[Jenny in Atl]

My dd12 will be ecstatic! She is currently in a play spoofing Phantom of the Opera.

Speak now on this.. what sequel, who and what is it called.. tell me now or I shall burn your lamp post down.. I need this kind of information.. it's like..... blood... I need it.

I googled and apparently this news is about a year old! Where have I been?

"provisionally called Phantom of Manhattan" is what I read, it is set in New York, and it opens early 2009

I guess this is a kind of spinoff on the "Do you know anyone famous?" thread. The woman who plays "Christine Daie" (the female lead) in Phantom of the Opera currently on Broadway is a good friend of ours.....Susan Owen. Previously, she was "Belle" in the touring company of "Beauty and the Beast." Here's dd and Susan last year, on our way in to "The Apple Tree" with Kristin Chenowith (a friend of Susan's; I posted a picture of dd and Kristin last year)

Anyway, here's "Christine Daie" in street clothes!

Oh, I love Kristin Chenowith! How I have missed Pushing Daisies! I saw her the other day as Miss Noodle, Mr. Noodle's sister on Elmo's World. :D

In Kristen's dressing room after "The Apple Tree." Kristen is a friend of Susan's, so we got to go up to visit after the show.

LOOK at how short she really is! Dd was 9 at the time (it was last winter) and though molly is tall for her age, Kristen is really a tiny little thing! SO, SO SWEET, though. She spent a long time talking to Molly, let her try on one of her costumes, even!

Oh wow, how cool is that?!
I hope it comes to Houston so I can take dd (and think, "There's Molly's Mom's friend! :))

She's in the permanent Broadway cast of Phantom. She toured with Beauty and the Beast. But DO COME TO NYC! We can go backstage and see all the props, costumes, ride in the boat, etc! And then we can hang out in the city! Great museums---- just call it a field trip! :001_smile:

[Sharon in SC]

Oh, how exciting! My 15you will be interested to see this post. She had the privilege of seeing Beauty and the Beast *and* Phantom of the Operan on Broadway last summer and has *lived* with the soundtracks ever since!

[Jenny in Florida]

OH MY GOSH! My daughter would be speechless!

She is a HUGE theatre geek who's greatest dream is to be on Broadway. AND Phantom is one of her favorite shows. AND Wicked (originally starring Kristin Chenowith) is another. She'd FAINT at the opportunity to meet these folks!

Okay, I have way over-used my exclamation point, but GEE!

We basically live 24/7 with the soundtracks from:
Wicked
Phantom
Pippin
and assorted Broadway Kids albums

And that's just the CURRENT list! Dd goes through spurts of Rogers & Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Weber, etc.

Our dd's sound similar!

[Mamagistra]

LOL I just glanced pass this thread and read the words as...

Phantom of the OPRAH!

:lol::lol::lol:

Do our daughters know each other? LOL.
Tonight is opening night for dd12. Each year we seem to be spending more and more time driving to and from drama classes and rehearsals. Instead of helmets and sweaty uniforms, I have grease paint and musty costumes.

Debra, forget the live, Rocky Horror-esque performance of The Breakfast Club...I think we've found the venue to make ourselves stars. :-)
