How many people have read the book and seen more than just the 2004 movie/musical?

Please, if you're going to make topics, use correct capitilization, punctuation, and size. There is a rule about them all, you know.

I have read the book by Gaston Leroux, read, The Complete Phantom of the Opera by George Perry which I found to be very informative, I bought and watched the movie like 20 times, saw the broadway show, saw an off broadway show, bought the CD staring the original London Cast, and the Sheet Music. I am totally obsessed. domokun

I saw the 2004 movie, read the Gaston Leroux book, read 'The Phantom of Manhattan', read the parody by Terry Pratchett, saw the Broadway show twice, saw the film with Claude Rains, the de Argento film, part of the original silent film, and read part of the Gaston Leroux book in original French. I also plan on going to Paris to see the Opera House- and am studying the opera 'Faust' to help me better understand the Leroux novel. I'm a hardcore fan. Oh yes- and I own the sheet music, and am working on my own amateur production.

I have read all the books, including R.L. Stines "Phantom of the Auditorm" and seen most of the movies. The only movie I have not seen is Le Fantom de Opera. I believe that is the one about the rats. It just never appealed to me. I will see it one day, of course. But I have yet to do so.

I've read Angel of the Opera, Phantom of the Opera (Leroux), Phantom, Phantom of Manhattan (THAT SUCKS!), Phantom of Paris, seen the movie with Lon Chaney, and the Nelson Eddie film. I've also seen the Webber play three times, and I've seen the play by Yeston which is a weird play.

The accustics are amazing in the Paris Opera.
As for Faust, it's great. I went and bought the soundtrack when I found out they sold it in book stores. It's a good story. I read the book when I was in grade school because it was on Wishbone.

Oh yes...I forgot to mention, the de Argento film (the one about the rats) really pissed me off. All of the characters were terribly OOC, to such a point that they were unrecognizable. If I had to pick a favorite character in that film, it would be Raoul- because he was the only sane one in the whole movie, and actually had a brain and didn't sleep with anyone either. And when a big E/C fan like me has to turn away in disgust and likes Raoul best, you know it's a bad movie. Phantom of the Opera? Ha! More like "Rat In The Basement".

That's all.

I have seen the Broadway Musical. That was about it.

Let's see. I've seen the show in London, been to the Opera Garnier (but not in it, most unfortunately -_-), and watched the movie more than my fair share. I have two soundtracks, I've seen 4 different movie versions, including the one released in 2004, I hope to god to see it on Broadway sooner or later, and I have Leroux's book and Kay's "Phantom". Basically, most of what Aya Sakashi is doing with Gounod's Faust and research. A shortened version of the French original is somewhere in my room yet to be read, and I have scores for most of Webber's songs on my piano's ledge to be played.

I'd sing Christine's part, but I'm not a soprano and I suck at singing. Stinks for me. <_<

Would that happen to be the one in which he says, "I'm a rat," rather than being a phantom and where everything is really graphic? Where Erik has long blonde hair?

If it happens to be so, you're like a fricken twin to me, and that movie was "LMAO" funny. Raoul high has got to be the most hilarious thing I've ever seen.

And Meg was weird. o_0
