      Saw the movie version and the 25th anniversary stage version on the same day

      I prefer the movie version of The Phantom of the Opera. The 25th anniversary stage version of the Phantom actor Ramen's voice is too sharp and a bit harsh.

      Christine: Raoul!

      [She snaps out of The Phantom's control]

      The Phantom: Bravo, Monsieur! Such spirited words!

      [He cause flames to shoot out at Christine and Raoul]

      Raoul: More tricks, Monsieur?

      [More flames]

      Raoul: More deception? More violence?

      The Phantom: That's right! That's right! Keep walking this way!

      Raoul: You can't win her love by making her your prisoner!

      The Phantom: [He continues to throw up more flames] I'm here. I'm here, Monsieur! The angel of death! Come on, come on. Don't stop! Don't stop! So be it. Now let there be war upon you both!

      [He disappears in a fireball]

    • Auctioneer: Lot 666, then. A chandelier in pieces. Some of you may recall the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera, a mystery never fully explained. We are told, ladies and gentlemen, that this is the very chandelier that figures in that famous disaster. Our workshops have restored it and fitted parts of it with wiring for the new electric light, so that we may get a hint of how it may look when re-assembled. Perhaps we may even frighten away the ghost of so many years ago with a little... illumination. Gentlemen!
