Prologue:
("Prologue")
Ten years after the big ass fire that took place in the Opera Populaire in Paris France. The Phantom (you know, if you haven't heard of him or haven't heard of Phantom of the Opera, cause you probably live under rock, he's the guy with the mask...ok? Search for him, too lazy to put a photo of him) is now responsible of "Phantasma" (it's a coney island amusement park, it's in NY) Despite being successful in all with his new life, he's still tortured with the absence of the love of his life Christine Daae and he's been longing for so many years to hear her sing once more. ("Till I hear you sing") She sent christine an invitation to perform in his Stage, performing one of his song. Christine was unaware that the Phantom was behind this, so she accepted his invitation and flew from Paris France to New York with her husband Raoul and her son Gustave.
Act I:
At Phantasma, Madame Giry (meg's mom, you know, the creepy old lady who's always wearing black. She scares the shit out of me, even in Phantom of the Opera) and all of the performers there introduce the wonderful sights of Coney Island. ("The Coney Island Waltz" ) Then Meg Giry (the blonde girl, who's christine's closest friend in the Opera House 10 years ago. They were both ballet girls before) has become entitled as the "oh la la" girl in the phantom's shows, which is produced by her mom, Madame Giry. She Peformed her song and wowed the crowd of Coney Island. ("Only for You, Only for Him")
Christine, Raoul and Gustave arrived in NY ("Christine Disembarks") and was surprised by tons of Paparazzi waiting for them. They are also greeted by the 3 circus freaks from the start of act one presenting the sites of coney island. They are greeted by them alongside a horseless carriage and took them to coney island ("Are you Ready to Begin?") Raoul is very angry at the things happening to them in NY and refused to play with his son Raoul, who keeps on asking "Father dear, come play with me" ("What a Dreadful Town") As Raoul is about to leave to get a drink from the bar. Gustave todl his mother that his father never plays with him and asked if his father loves him, Christine tells him to "Look with your Heart" to help gustave understand his father and what he's going through. Christine asked Gustave to go to bed and she will catch up with him a little while. As gustave left, Phantom arrives to see his beautiful Christine. ["Beneath a Moonless Sky" (I'm sorry, I don't have a dirty mind but this song is seriously about the time when the two of them had sex beneath a moonless sky)] Anyways, they also reminisce that "Once upon Another Time" they thought that their love for each other has a big chance in succeeding. Gustave wakes up screaming and running towards his mother, saying he had a bad dream. ("Mother, Please I'm scared!") He met Phantom, which Christine introduced as her "Friend" (really Christine? a friend? you had sex goddamit but who will blame her, she's talking to a child) The Phantom, promised Gustave that he will show him all the wonderful sights of Coney Island or as Phantom said HIS WORLD. He asked Christine to sing one of his song, for one last time. Christine denies the offer, but Phantom said, if you don't sing, you will return to NY without Gustave. So Christine approves.
During Rehearsals, Meg met Christine and she was surprised and jealous when she found out that she will be singing. Raoul saw Madame Giry and learned that the Phantom was behind all of this ("Dear old Friend") The 3 circus freaks brought Gustave to "The Aerie" where he is greeted by Phantom. Gustave, asked Phantom if he can play his piano and played a melody that leads the Phantom to suspect that Gustave is his son. ("Beautiful") The Phantom revealed all the weird unearthly dark creatures and discovers that Gustave can see what he sees and finds it beautiful. ("The Beauty Underneath") Thinking that he wouldn't be terrified, he unmasked himself and was surprise of Gustave's horrific reaction. Christine comforts Gustave and asked him to go with Meg back to the hotel. Phantom made Christine confessed ("The Phantom confronts Christine") and finally Christine said "Once upon another time, you loved me and you left me, but that's not all, you left me with our son" (I am crying so hard, I don't even know what I felt at that moment when Christine said they have a son and it's gustave asdfghjkl) The Phantom makes Christine swear that he will never tell Gustave that he is the real father and he said that everything that he owns will become Gustave's. Overhearing everything, Madame Giry was furious, feared that all of her works throughout the years was for nothing.
Act II:
("Entr'acte")
In a bar, Raoul questions his marriage with Christine ("Why does She Love me?") After a while he is joined by Meg and tells him that He is found in a so called "Suicide Hall" of Coney Island where people end up when they don't know where else to go. She tells Raoul that he must go with Christine and Gustave. Meg left and Raoul told himself that he is not afraid with the Phantom, who is surprisingly hiding behind the bar pretending to be a bartender. (don't you dare mess with the motherfucking phantom cause this bitch is everywhere) and he made a deal with Raoul. If Raoul wins, he will pay all of his debts and will leave NY with Christine and Gustave, but if he lost he will leave NY alone, leaving the two behind. Phantom ends with his conversation with Raoul, leading Raoul to question Gustave's real father. ("Devil take the Hindmost")
("Heaven by the Sea (Reprise)") The 3 circus freaks (I'm sorry, I didn't get their names) advertises Christine's appearance at Phantasma. ("Ladies...Gents! Coney Island Waltz (reprise)") That night, Meg Performs her song ("Bathing Beauty") The audience once again was wowed by Meg, but Madame Giry tells meg that the phantom didn't watch her performance so it was for nothing. ("Mother did you watch?")
Before Christine's performance for the night ("Before the Performance") Gustave goes backstage, while Raoul asks Christine to leave and not sing for the Phantom if she truly loves him. When Raoul left, The phantom appeared and said that Raoul's love for her is not enough, that she deserves best. In that moment, Christine was taken back to the time where she has to choose between Phantom and Raoul in the Opera House. Phantom, Madame Giry and Raoul wondered if Christine will sing his song. ("Devil take the Hindmost (Reprise)") Christine performs the song to the crowd of Coney Island ("Love never Dies") while Raoul and Phantom are watching. Christine finished the song with thousands of people cheering for her astounding performance. After the Performance, she was greeted by Phantom and a letter by Raoul informing her that he left. ("Ah Christine") Gustave was missing and she became extremely worried ("Gustave...Gustave!") Christine thought that Raoul left with gustave but one of the circus freak informed that he left alone. Then Phantom suspects that Gustave was with Madame Giry because of her attitude towards him the past few days. Madame Giry said that she knows all about Gustave's real father, but said that he will never go near the boy. Then one of the circus freaks, said that she was passing through Meg's dressing room and saw a smashed mirror. Christine, feared for his son's life but Madame Giry said that meg won't do anything to the boy. Phantom already knew where Meg has gone.
At the Suicide Hall, ("Please Miss Giry, I want to go back") Meg was about to drown Gustave when Phantom confronts her. She holds up a gun to her head so the Phantom will listen to her and confessed to him that the resources that Madame Giry has afforded him came from meg being a prostitute to influential men. The Phantom tries to calm her down, but guess what the phantom said to her........"Beauty sometimes goes unseen........WE CAN'T ALL BE LIKE CHRISTINE" (and then shit goes down) "Christine, Christine? Always Christine" while phantom's trying to reach the gun...........she accidentally shot Christine. (*sarcastically slow claps it out*) As Meg and Madame Giry went away to call for help, Christine revealed to Gustave that his real father is the Phantom, Gustave being terrified and shocked and all ran away. She also told the Phantom that his love for him will never die. (well this is just really depressing because, I was expecting that they will finally get together now that they have a son and raoul's gone, but no.....CHRISTINE HAS TO DIE. MY HEART I JUST) They have one final kiss and she died in the arms of the man that she truly loves. Gustave returns with Raoul who was silent and full of sorrow in his eyes. Gustave joins phantom and put his head on his Mother's lap. Gustave then went to Phantom and looks up to him, he took his mask but he didn't react (not like the 1st time where he went apeshit crazy) Gustave hugs Phantom, his real father. The curtain falls and the amazing musical ends.
ALL THE FEELS UGH YOU GUYS SHOULD TOTALLY WATCH THIS, READING THIS IS NOT ENOUGH, YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT OK WATCH IT.
The Phantom and His Christine.
