Phantom of the Opera

You will curse the day that you did not do all that The Good Art Friends asked of you! Not because we’re as domineering as the Phantom, but because we just ask you to engage with wonderful art such as The Phantom of the Opera. The episode starts with some spoiler-free discussion, before launching into our analysis of this haunting and moving musical at 19:22. We guarantee that your time with us won’t result in any Stockholm Syndrom, unlike Christine's time with the Phantom. 

Note: The version that we cover in this episode is the 25th-anniversary production that was staged at the Royal Albert Hall. 

Other art discussed in this episode: Princess Mononoke; a bunch of Zelda games; The Wood at Midwinter; Fame; Porgy & Bess; The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt; Wuthering Heights; and The Bear.

Coming up next month: The Garts! Our end-of-year awards!
