Heehee...nice plot idea...I also like my friend's winning most creative Mardi Gras costume last year: Fanta of the Opera, complete with partial mask painstakingly made of Fanta cans... ;)

Yeah, as an ALW Phantom fan from way back, I was disappointed in the movie version when I saw it in the theatre last January. The costumes & sets were awesome, but the singing left much to be desired, which is too bad. Why they couldn't use an actual Broadway-quality cast for the movie I have no idea...
