Sweetie, I saw Phantom in NYC five years ago in '99. And then saw the movie version a month ago at BNAT. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how closely the movie was to the stage version. Now I have been a fan of the whole Phantom thing since 1987 when I got my mom to get me the soundtrack. I wore those cassette tapes out.
Also here is another thing your post reminded me of. I grew up in a fairly small city. (about 10,000) and there was one main road to get to the grocery store and so forth. One year when I was 13 I noticed this house on the road with their Xmas tree still up in the picture window in mid January. And then I noticed it again in Feb. and so I kept looking and by golly that tree was up the whole year around until the next Xmas. *bg* But alas they didn't turn the lights on July or anything.
My Xmas crap is down and put away on the 2nd of January. It is the one thing I am really anal retentive about.
I live in the snow belt region of Ohio. 50 miles from Lake Erie. I feel your pain sweetie.
