My first encounter [G#] with the Phantom of the Opera was the [F#] cassette of the London cast [G#] recording
when I was about six
[F#] we would have a family lunch every Sunday [C#m] and
at the end of that my granddad [F#] would
Say to me, you know come with [G#m] me and he had this new Mercedes [A#m]-Benz that had a tape player [F#] in the car
which was quite high tech for the time also [B] shows you how old I am [A#m] and
He taught me how to conduct [A#] to to the score [D#m] and
We did this often [Fm] to the point that I knew was the music back-to-back
[A] [C#] and
Years later when I asked him why [G#] we used to do in the car not the lounge
He said well [C#] that way they couldn't find us to wash the dishes off to the [G#] lunch
So well when I was a [C#] kid
my parents hide a babysitter [G#] and
We were living in England and I had to [F#] stay home and hear about how amazing [G#] this
Iconic musical was with a [F#] chandelier that fell from the ceiling and I was so [C#] jealous did not get to see it
I had to wait [F#] until I was an adult and I went to a visit my [C#] friend Beth
Who was a performing at [F#] the Kennedy Center in Washington DC?
So I got [B] to see that the epic musical [F#] finally then [C#] and then I saw it again when I'm after I was cast [N] and I'm
[F#] Just so excited to be a part of it
I never thought I would my first [G#] real experience with seeing it in [C#] New York was rather embarrassingly only two [B] years ago
I [E] had just performed Candide
Kunigunde in [A] New York City operas Candide and how Prince [D#] was the director of the show and
Brought me in his [G#] office.
He was like kiddo.
Have you ever seen [D#] Phantom of the [G#] Opera and I was
[C#] so
Embarrassed and I said no I haven't I I don't know why I haven't gotten the opportunity to just go and see it
Of course, I've always [A#] wanted to and he's like I'm gonna get you tickets
I have never in my life and I've seen a lot [C] of opera and theater and I've been in many [A#] productions
Never have I [F] seen a show [A#] take hold of an audience
so profoundly and I [C#] I sat there and and [G#] each song touched me so [C#] and and I also thought it was
Absolutely hilarious some of the opera scenes.
I'm from the opera world and
And at the end of the [G#] show
By [F#] the way sold out house 30 years later [G#] sold out house
Everyone [F#] leapt to their feet
Complete [A#m] standing ovation for what seems like quite [F#] frankly an eternity and rightly so
[C#] It [Fm] was magical.
[F#] I was immediately [B] I fell in love with [F#] the show, of course
