In 1996 Ethan returned to the role of The Phantom once more as he joined the cast at The Pantages Theatre in Toronto. Here are some pictures of his run.

Has there ever been a Scottish actor (besides Gerard Butler) to play the Phantom?

I'm sure there's been several, but listen to this name... SCOTT DAVIES. Born in Glasgow, played the Phantom on an off in West End and the UK Tour from 1991-2020, as understudy, principal and standby. He did at least 2,500 performances in the mask, according to his own calculations.

And frankly also one of the most intense portrayals I've seen, he was such a legend in the role.

(in which we both agree that he is fab)

hmm. he's a sickly guy and she's a girl with self esteem issues - what could go wrong (too much) (someone get sky a tissue)

also viktor my love I figured out your face and im so proud (I'm evolving somewhat)

Today is great. Want to know why today is great? Because I just found, in my notes app, a 10 PARAGRAPH rant, written by none other than 12 year old me, about the symbolism and meaning of Phantom of the Opera.

Not to share with anyone. Just things my 12 year old mind thought about.

It also helps to know that the paragraph in question. Was dated. On CHRISTMAS MORNING. At 12 years old, I spent my Christmas Day in my room writing a 10 paragraph analysis on The Phantom of the Opera. I have no memory of this. I am so proud of me.

Top 5 Live Action Movies That Should be Remade as Animated Musicals

The Phantom of the Opera - Already a musical with a banging soundtrack. I love the 2005 live action version already, but animation would allow for more trippy fantastical visuals that blur the line between the Phantom's supernatural presence and smoke and mirror illusions. Alternatively, instead of an adaptation of the ALW musical, it could be a reimagining like Phantom of the Paradise that changes the time period and setting but keeps some of the basic plot points and uses original music.

Legend - Already had amazing visuals in live action, but some of the effects do look dated and the characters were pretty weak, so adding musical numbers could help with expressing more of the characters' personalities, what their feelings and wants are, and what flaws they're supposed to be overcoming or how they're supposed to be growing and maturing over the course of the story.

Wicked - I haven't actually seen the broadway show or the live action film, but wouldn't we all rather have an animated adaptation instead of a live action CGIfest?

The Snow Queen - I like Frozen, but it has about as much to do with the original story that inspired it as The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Which is to say; pretty much the only thing they have in common is having a queen with the power to create snow. There are both live action adaptations and animated adaptations that follow the original plot more faithfully, but no big budget animated musicals as far as I'm aware.

Dracula - Only Bram Stoker's Dracula and like one BBC miniseries are known to actually follow the plot of the novel somewhat faithfully and I don't know of any animated versions of the story, let alone animated musicals. And I think we could always use more dark, gothic musicals, especially in animation. When's the last time we had anything in the vein of Nighmare before Christmas or Corpse Bride? Alternatively, animated musical version of Renfield. Already an excellent movie with great visuals, but I don't see how it couldn't be improved with musical numbers and lavish animation.

A selection of Karrie pix, to celebrate Peter's birthday (August 10th).
