I definitely have a deep fondness for the Phantom music! (Ironically, one of the songs I have the least fondness for is "Masquerade," solely because I sang it in choir and therefore realized how incredibly repetitive it is, which I didn't realize before that point.) Lololol to Phantom reprises showing up as a lifeline in LND, I could see that.
Re: the aftermath, one of the things I had entirely forgotten was that Raoul de Chagny was the new patron of the opera house. I wonder whether he financed Andre and Fermin getting back on their feet after that, or whether he was like "nah, I would rather not have anything to do with any of this any more." (Though with Raoul's character, I would expect... not the latter!)
[personal profile] genarti and I also often frequently quote to each other something we saw in a Norm Lewis interview when he took on the role, in which he discussed preparing to sing the part of the Phantom by asking himself "who is this man, and why is he acting like a giant baby?"
LOLOLOLOL this is fantastic! Now I kinda want to see Norm Lewis playing him...
