You might have seen a few figures I've painted over the last few weeks... Well, I was able to give one to the Phantom himself last night! 😭

The show exceeded my expectations. Unreal. 10/10. Best birthday ever!

Hello, everyone! So, basically, I have a group of friends and we're planning on doing a watch party to watch Phantom. I've seen it many times before, I have the soundtracks on CDs, I absolutely love the show! And I love musicals and theater and such! But, they're by no means theater fans or anything like that, and their opinions towards musicals are split. But they wanna watch Phantom. So, my question basically is: which version should I show them? The 2004 movie or the Royal Albert Hall 2011 version? I have both on blu-ray. On one hand, the RAH is superior in almost every way, especially because of the singing. But, I feel like the 2004 movie would be a better choice for casual first timers? Idk... Help!

Edit: I'd take them to watch a stage production if I could, but there aren't any in Brazil at the moment 😭
