Just saw Phantom. Can I just say - GAH!?

Took my breath away, really it did. Patrick Wilson? YUMMY. I've always thought of Raoul's character as a schmuck, and I always root for the Phantom. This? Made me absolutely love that character (and the actor...teehee.).

Emmy Rossum? Gorgeous as always, and really dwarfed the other actors - she was absolutely phenomenal, and the epitimy of "Christine". I can't imagine another actor in that part.

Interestingly enough, I hated the Phantom. Not so much the character at first, but the actor. *headslap* He's god-awful if you want my opinion, and I found myself wishing the Phantom would die NOW so I wouldn't have to see the guy and especially hear him *cringe*. Like, really I wanted to shove one of the candles into his eyeball.

And I should note that I'm probably especially critical because Phantom's possibly my favorite of all time musicals. I would give my left testicle to see it on stage even once.

And that wraps up my review - now I need the soundtrack and to see it a couple more times.

I liked the guy who played Raoul too. I think he transcended the weenie-ness of the role.
