The Phantom Tribute That Could Have Been

Phantom of the Opera on Broadway resided at the Majestic Theatre in New York City, which was the same theatre where South Pacific premiered. One of the reasons Lloyd Webber wanted it as he told his then wife Sarah was because "This is where they sang Some Enchanted Evening."

Broadway does anniversary tributes all the time. Frozen and Escape to Margaritaville paid homage to Oklahoma, and of course there's the famous Hamilton video from when A Chorus Line turned 40 years old. So that got me to thinking (to paraphrase Ali Ewoldt)...what would a Phantom tribute to South Pacific look like?

First, the ballet dancers sing the French reprise of Bali'hai. The notes would float through the theatre and maybe we could have a short pas de deux to compliment the hypnotic music. Next, we have Raoul, Andre, Firmin, Joseph Bouquet, and Piangi sing There is Nothing Like A Dame while admiring the preening Carlotta. Raoul doesn't often get to be comedic, so let's give him a chance with this one. And then finally, we have Erik and Christine perform the duet reprise of Some Enchanted Evening to conclude with something swoon worthy.

I think that would've been beautiful. Don't you agree?

Book Review #111 of 2023--

Moonstruck, Vol. 2: Some Enchanted Evening by Grace Ellis and Shae Beagle. Rating: 3.25 stars.

Read on September 1st.

As with most graphic novels I read, I'm going to try to keep this review short. I say try because I'm long winded and don't know how to stop. This is the second volume of the Moonstruck series. We follow Julie, her girlfriend, and a few friends as they're living their life in this magical college town. In this volume, they're trapped between two fighting greek lives and are forced to help. This volume wasn't something I found funnier or more entertaining than the first volume. It was okay. It left a lot of questions up in the air for me, especially when it comes to Cass. So I'm glad I have the final volume on hand for when I have a free evening this next week and I'll be able to get some answers. Just not fully satisfied with this one.

I would love to hear you sing, Data. I'll dance for you, as you sing, arouse, and entice you, perhaps?

He genuinely has such a beautiful voice

the fact that irving canonically survives through the end of asunder to be at wynne's funeral is so fucking funny to me. nothing but love and respect for MY unstoppable cockroach morally grey machiavellian mage dad!!! he's survived in his position through multiple attempted rites of annulment and blood mage plots popping up left right and center around him. the chantry keeps trying to stamp him out but his dodge game is simply out of this world, divine. civil wars, political machinations and minefields, chantry atrocities, this wily old motherfucker is dodging and weaving his way through it all, not-quite-no-hits-taken-running-it-but-honestly-close-enough-under-the-circumstances style. if solas does succeed in tearing down the veil I would fully believe that one of the like three people still alive at the end of it all would be a very weary 90 year old first enchanter irving going 'oh this shit again huh'. the maker has cursed him for his hubris and his paperwork is never finished (affectionate, it's fine he canonically loves paperwork)

Core Gems

So when a ghost becomes injured, they have a last ditch defense where they retreat into their core. And I mean, injured badly where their body is rip apart to the point they can’t hold a solid form anymore. And they basically go into a hibernation state until they are strong enough to form again.

Ellie, Danny, and Dan are all injured in a final battle against the GIW. The organization was destroyed and the ghosts were safe but the halfas ended up being so injured that they reverted to core form and then went to sleep for a bit. When they woke up, they were still weak but at least recovered enough to gain consciousness. And realize…they are in some kind of auction…in the middle of a heist. It appeared that two furries (one in a bat costume and one in a cat costume) were ducking it out. And they…they were a necklace. All three of them had been turned into a necklace with their cores as gems accompanied by sapphires, pearls, and opals. And frankly gorgeous craftsmanship as the metal was crafted around their cores as if to cradle them and the other gems.

Unfortunately, they were too weak to take a form properly, they could still feel the strain on their bodies. But at least they could still communicate through their auras. Then the cat lady punched a hole in the glass container surrounding them and grabbed their necklace.

However, the bat grabbed the other end and it resulted in a sort of tug-a-war. Meanwhile, Danny, Ellie, and Dan were having a back and form commentary on the situation and what they should do. Completely unheard by the other party.

In the corner of their eye, the three halfas finally noticed a third contender. Some kind of clown who was…hold on…holding a gun?! And it was pointed straight at the two fighting furies who had yet to notice him. The ghosts’ protective instincts went into overdrive and they frantically tried to shout, yell, move. Just do something to warn the two but their cries fell on deaf ears. All they succeeded in doing was faintly glow which immediatly caught the attention of the fighting duo. The two turned to look at the strange necklace but right at that moment, the clown fired and a gunshot rang throughout the auction room. Having no other options, Danny and the others poured every ounce of ectoplasm they had to try and phaseshift, making the two furries intangible as the bullets passed right through them, but in their shock, the two jumped away in opposite directions and accidentally ripped the necklace apart. Gems and pearls went flying and the three cores bounced along the ground.

Luckily, the two finally noticed the clown and went to deal with him and his minions who had appeared. Seemingly putting their fight on hold and forming a temporary truce. The three halfas could only watch as the battle finally wound down, ending with the cops barging into the place and arresting the clown and his grunts, the cat managing to escape with half the scattered gems and pearls from the broken necklace along with a few other jewelry pieces (none of their cores though) and the bat leaving through a skylight.

The auction continued and in the end, despite being broken, their necklace seemed to have caught someone’s interest. A man named Bruce Wayne bought up every piece of the shattered jewelry wear. The auctioneers appeared relived that the item managed to sell in the end and gratefully gave it to him.

Bruce had no idea what happened at the auction, but he could have sworn that some of the gems faintly glowed right before he and Selina were shot. If the necklace was some sort of magical item, then he needed to understand exactly what has been brought to Gotham. It was unfortunate that Selena had taken some parts of the necklace but he utilized his vast wealth to make sure all the other parts ended in his possession. Now he would take them back to the mansion for examination.
