POTO and Scarborough Faire

[glacier_kitty]

POTO was awesome!!! Way better than the movie! The raising of the chandelier was awesome! The guys took the cover off it and there was a flash and a loud bang and it got dark and Overture came on and the chandelier was slowly raised and it was soo awesome! The song POTO was awesome too...there were candles and fog to make it look like a waterway and the boat was looking like it really did sail on the water. When Christine took Erik's mask off he freaked out of course then fell on the floor and rolled up in a ball and started crying...then as he was singing he was pulling himself on the floor to Christine with one hand...ow! Then All I Ask of You Reprise came and Erik was on this angel suspended in the air...Raoul and Christine were singing "anywhere you go let me go too" etc and Erik kept wailing "no no!" and covered his ears...then Erik yelled and pointed his finger at us, "YOU WILL CURSE THE DAY YOU DID NOT DO ALL THAT THE PHANTOM ASKED OF YOOOOU!" and he was raised up and then the chandelier fell which really wasn't that exciting. Masquerade was awesome though the cymbals were really annoying...then Erik showed up as Red Death and started walking down the stairs and almost fell! He recovered himself well. He came to Christine and tore the ring from her neck and yelled "your chains are still mine, you belong to ME!" and something exploded and Erik was suddenly at the top of the stairs again! Then awesome pyrotechnics shot up from the floor! Pyrotechnics in POTO haha! Christine was at the graveyard and Erik and Raoul showed up and Erik's staff shot out orange things! At PONR Erik had a cape which the hood covered his entire face and had eyes. Christine took it off and seemed surprised and so did Erik...she took his mask off and I was too far back to see his deformity well. Then Down Once More...SO SAD! Christine gave Erik the kiss then he let her go with Raoul...Christine came back and Erik was sobbing and was saying "I love you" and Christine left and he was still sobbing "I love you" and fell to the floor where Christine's bridal veil was and sobbed into it. Then the mob was climbing down the gate and Erik sat on his chair and put his cape over him and when Meg went to see...he was gone and only his mask remained...how??? Amazing show...not to mention how high and long those people can sing!!!!

Then I went to Scarborough Faire...I almost said I didn't wanna go cause of the time (it was like 5) but I didn't say anything. *phew* We got there around 5:30 and mom and I started walking towards Frank's carillon...I saw a back door open with people talking and I walked past there...Frank was inside and he didn't have his mask on! He just stared at me as I walked past and I was afraid he'd be mad at me...he was bald and looked very Native American...his last name DellaPenna means "of the feather" so that would make sense. There was another show at 6 (!!) and we watched it and Frank was so insane on some parts! Getting into it...A LOT. When he was done he told people he'll be around to talk for a few minutes and he seemed in a VERY good mood...no one was moving and he commented in a funny way and then walked up to us and started talking!!! Mom and I had a whole conversation with him!!!! I think his ego went way up from some of the things I said haha. I didn't think he'd wanna talk to us again...I think he'd talk to us every time...he has a heart the size of Texas!!! He's never annoyed when people ask him to sign stuff (or so I've seen). I asked him to play Drunken Sailor and he said "next time I see you in the audience I'll play it just fot you!" Ahhh I about died!!!! Then we left and he waved goodbye to us and I was blushing so bad my ears turned red. There was only 30 minutes left of Scarborough...I bought a fake black rose and mom bought a wind thing with a crystal...then we saw the closing ceremony and this guy was gesturing and after awhile I realized he was doing sign language! Then a cannon shot off and we left and that was my awesome day!!
