CALLING ALL "PHANS"!
To celebrate 25 years of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera" stage musical, I want to put together a sing-along video, and I want all of you to participate. All I can say is that the video will hopefully contain some surprises, and the more people participating, the better. Ideally there'll be one entry for each line of the song of choice - Masquerade.
Be creative! Gather a group of friends and be a "flash mob" in the nearest grand staircase. Or on the subway. Dress up in Phantom costume replicas, or in a funky general Masquerade costume. Two Christines fighting over one Raoul? Drunk Madame Giry? Maybe it's time for a new Barbie and Ken version. Or maybe a nod to Leroux by adding the black and white dominos. Maybe you're heading for Palais Garnier this summer? Or a theatre where Phantom is playing/has played? What about "Masquerading" in front of your Phantom collection? Or have your grandfather dance! Or maybe a full scale replica of Bjørnson's costumes and Lynne's choreography?
So what's in it for you? Apart from participating in a fun video celebrating a beloved musical? Apart from glory and honour? Aaah, here comes the fun part. After the video is put together and has been online for some time, people will be able to vote on the top 3 entries. Two winners will receive replicas of the Hannibal slavegirl wristbands used in Hamburg, while the main winner will receive a bigger (surprise!) costume item, based on whether the winner is a male or female.
So if you wanna win - or if you just wanna participate in a fun project, or share your love for Phantom, or show off one of your costumes: Get your paper faces on parade and.... Masquerade! Read more here:
