( REVIEW: The Phantom of the Opera 25th Anniversary Gala Live from the Royal Albert Hall )

5. First musical obsession.

This one is easy: Phantom of the Opera. I saw it when the UK tour was in Edinburgh back in 1993 and was immediately thoroughly smitten. It wasn't just the musical, either. I promptly hunted down every possible Phantom film I could find, any books relating to the Phantom, random memorabilia. I love the story, I love the premise, I love a man in a mask who can sing and compose and do awesome magic. And strangely, the best production of Phantom I have seen was still a small 4-man cast production by a tiny, private theatre company in Warsaw, on a stage smaller than my livingroom. The cast totally made the show.
