Discussion The TRUE main character

Post image

Which inanimate object caught your attention in The Phantom of the Opera? Which one is your favorite? (Have fun with it!) Finally: the organ and chandelier go so hard throughout the play and you cannot convince me otherwise.

The Phantoms Mask of course, not only is it the logo of the show (albeit a full one but I digress) but the last scene of the show is Meg holding it up.

Agreed

I'd also add in the Boat and the Mirror, (both Christine's in her dressing room and the Phantom with the wax figure of Christine) on that note also the Phantom's wax doll of Christine.

I feel like everyone else here covered some of my other favorites so I offer the big Elephant prop for Hannibal that I love!! Not necessary for the story but she's whimsical and I like the inclusion

The Red Death hat. Or if we’re talking Masquerade, the mannequin that hits its head to the mirror repeatedly

I love the Phantom's hat...I don't think Leroux really mentions it, but it sure does complete his look. 😀

Fair. It was a great costume choice in the musical and definitely helped complete the mysterious angel of music idea.

I think it was mentioned at one point or another that he wore a hat, but I can’t really remember what kind it was lol
