Okay, let me tell you something; I have never seen the actual musical. I have seen the movie, read the book, and read the script for the musical.
Now, once upon a time, my family was on vacation. My mom and sister had got tickets for 'some play', that they thought I wouldn't like. I'm usually not into that stuff, you see.
Now, they had no idea that I had taken my sister's PotO CDs, listened to them a lot, and read the little booklet with the entire script in it. I had also gotten he book from the school library and read that.
So, they come back. Ahem.
"So, by the way, what was that play-thing you guys saw?"
"Oh, Phantom of the Opera."
*pause*
"WWHHHHAAATTTTT?"
Then I went into this screaming rage, and my family was rather freaked out, not knowing I had even ever heard of it. Then it somehow turned into a lecture about how 'I should talk to them about my interests more.'
I still yell at my mother and sister, even though it was quite some years ago. Just... UGGRRHH.
Ahem. Stories?

Erm...
Mum: So did you decorate your egg for English?
Youko: Yep.
Mum: And name it?
Youko: Yep.
Mum: What did you name it...?
Youko: Erik jean.
Mum: ...let me see it.
Youko: *shows it*
Mum: DDDDD:< WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE A SCREWED UP PHANTOM?! IT'S A PROJECT ON FRANKENSTEIN!!
Youko: DDD: It's a creative project!!! I'm comparing them!! And the mask is SUPPOSED to be like that!! That's the original mask!!!
Or....
Mum: What're you buying?
Youko: The special edition movie soundtrack. Two discs!
Mum: You already have that.
Youko: No, I don't,
Mum: Yeah.
Youko: That's the Broadway one with Crawford. This is with Butler.
Mum: There's a difference?
Youko: Yes...
Or...
Mum: What now?!
Youko: *shows her music and PotO origianl novel*
Mum: You're not getting that.
Youko: DDD: IT'S MY MONEY!!!
Mum: ....ugh... *walks away*
@____@ And if you go to the page of things PotO characters would never say, or the how to kill Raoul page, you'll find an explanation of how my mother mocks the songs.
Dad doesn't say much. He isn't around enough to, really.
And my friends... some of them receive the Phantom rather warmly, some rolling thier eyes a bit... and some complaining that's ALL we ever talk about. Which it isn't. ._.;

My Mom actually embraces my obsession. She likes it, too, but she's only seen the 2004 movie. It's weird when your Mother and you can have a conversation based on the one sentence "Gerard Butler is a shmexy Phantom".
Not to mention she's bought me some cool PotO stuff off of Ebay! =D
My Dad doesn't know the extent of my obsession since all he's seen me with PotO-wise is my books and my Erik plushie. He calls the plushie my "trunk monkey".
A couple of my friends are into PotO as well, but a few others are like "ugh, can't you draw anything else anymore?" since my drawing book is full of phanart. >>
Haha, I said nothing dumb or even remotely funny! ...wait, that's not good! ><

I've gotten three people to read the book. They've all found it strangely addictive, and they have since all gone out in search of further Phantom literature.
