A Phanastic Night

Some of you might not know this, but I have always had a love of  dramas, musicals, plays. Whatever you want to call them. Acting was something I was hung up on when I was little. I was convinced I would be a movie star or something. Now I am somewhat thankful, that I didn't get my wish. I did however participate in a few plays, one was our town production of Annie. I was eight and had a blast, I memorized the whole thing, every line, all the songs. I lived and breathed it.

Over the years, I forgot about this love, writing, painting, reading, and photography took precedence. However, this year I started hanging out with Elizabeth. We became fast friends, she reintroduced me into the world of theatre. She showed me Phantom of the Opera, the 25th Anniversary edition. I fell in love the costumes, the voices, and the Phantom. Thus starting me on a musical craze, I will be covering a new favorite, 'Dear Evan Hansen' in a different post.

Anyway, I loved it so much. We decided to watch it again, and this time I decided to do it in proper Phantom style.

I tried my best to make our basement into something resembling the Phantom's Lair. I did it all last minute so try not to judge it too harshly.

 Basically I just got as many candles and fairy lights as I could.

 The food was the focal point. At least to me, we also had popcorn and a veggie platter.

 We got my mom to signal us when she was coming, and I had my sister start playing the Phantom saying bravo, when she walked in. Her reaction made it all worth it. (See the exercise equipment, it's a basement there was only so much I could do.)

We had a Phantastic night! (I will stop now, sorry not sorry)
