I’ve purposely avoided watching or even listening to ONE SINGLE SONG from Love Never Dies for going on a decade now, but I’m about to watch it finally, knowing only a couple of vague plot points and nothing else, so this will be FUN
well at least they’ve started with Erik crying at an organ, I’m sure it’s all downhill from here
WHERE DID HE GET THIS PORTRAIT
so the gist of this song is basically “it’s been 10 years and I’m just as obsessed with Christine as ever as if we’ve just hit pause on my life for a decade. what else have I been doing? no idea”
UGH NO NOT A CIRCUS ANYTHING BUT A CIRCUS
MEG JOINED A CIRCUS...AT CONEY ISLAND???? WHY?????
I was fully expecting them to reveal the phantom so that was a plot twist I guess lmao
this musical has started with like 4 exposition songs in a row and I’m pretty sure that’s a major musical no-no
the last time we saw Mme Giry she was helping Raoul get to Christine and now she???? hates Christine for not picking Erik apparently???
they really think Hammerstein sent them this creepy circus carriage lmaooooo
@benperorsolo has pointed out that Hammerstein was 12 years old at this point in time so I’m just pretending that’s canon and Erik knew Raoul and Christine are just that dumb they’d believe this 12 year old composer hired her
well some things never change
Phantom: *pulls an elaborate trick*
Christine:
Christine:
she couldn’t see his face dhiejdidjd DID THEY FUCK WITH THE MASK ON
okay but when did they fuck though, this song is very unclear and I need to know
is this entire musical people standing there while they sing plot exposition catching us up on the last 10 years
every time someone says Hammerstein seriously I wheeze out loud
what a cute family uwu
his face so clearly isn’t even deformed beneath the mask, I’m so upset
every time they play a reprise from POTO I wish I was watching that instead
this Meg/Mme Giry/Raoul/Christine song is the most passive aggressive two faced song I’ve ever heard lmao
his candle budget has decreased considerably I see
Erik figuring out Gustave is his son by watching him play the piano, a foolproof test
this all so beautiful song is trying so hard to be the phantom of the opera of this musical...the eLeCtRic GuItArS....the circus is his new opera...Gustave is his new Christine...
this musical is half over and nothing has happened!!!!! incredible!!!!
“what to do with me, that’s always been the question” very meta words from a man who’s randomly been given a drunken gambler subplot because they don’t know what else to do with him hdiehdhdhdh
this Phantom and Raoul duet where they just angrily sing in each other’s faces dheihsushd
