True; props & costumes have sonar, and can find all the tiny spaces just by the acoustics of a theater.
And the fact that a guy who's life has been the theater for so long, never considered using theatrical makeup to hide the majority of his facial scars.

It's theatre for crying out loud. No one would have even noticed him at my place. Sigh... silly old Phantom.

Total Drama Queen. I bet the original Phantom only had a zit, & totally freaked out. I mean he quit looking into mirrors & started wearing a mask. . .

Yeah, but you know how actors love to look at themselves

And the slightest believed/perceived imperfection is cause for a temper tantrum/complete meltdown.
Eric was a major Drama Queen.

You know .. . . .this would make a great comedic play! (as seen through the eyes of the stage hands)

The entire Phantom Of the Opera plot was based on a Drama Queen's OOT emotional meltdown over a smear of lipstick and a lock of singed hair.

They've already been written (I did one of them). surprisingly, they aren't really welcomed with open arms by the actors.

Ya think? While the rest of the world thinks such stories are a riot, the actors are insulted because it hits w-a-y too close to home.
[And they flounce away in a pouting huff, billowing their capes with a portable fan & holding their homemade paper 1/2 masks to their face to play the electronic keyboard (pipe organ) obnoxiously loudly and badly.]

If we wait long enough there will be a version called "Phantom of the Grand Ole Opry".
Where the Phantom can sing just like practically every male country singer to have ever set foot on the stage of the Opry. And he's looking for the woman who can sing like all the female vocalists.

I hope if that happens, it will be long after I've exited stage right.
