So I saw Phantom of the Opera while I was in Vegas, and it was amazing. The stage was built specifically for it and cost about $40 million. The singing and acting was beautiful, and they it's one of the few shows in Vegas that has a live orchestra! *dances* Being a complete and utter band geek, that was particularly awesome. So I was just wondering if any one else has seen it? Or even one of the movies? Heck, even read the book! *is desperate to talk about it*

I has started the book!
Not a big fan of movies any way though so I doubt I'll see it.
When I move later this summer I'm going to america and Vegas is one of my destinations after Diseny... blah blah in California
(forget wich one it is)
If it's as good as you say
I MUST SEE IT xP
Live band/orchestra is always a plus ^^

I need to read the book now. It's on my list of books to read. I saw the 2004 movie awhile back, but wasn't paying attention for some reason. I don't really remember why. o.O If you go, make sure you get your tickets early! It was sold-out for us, but my aunt had them pretty early, so it was all good.
I think it's Disney Land....but I'm not sure, even though I've been there. o.O Vegas is crazy. And it has dumbest pedestrians EVER. >.> I don't think I'd want to live there, but it's fun to visit. You MUST see Phantom. The opening sequence is just heart-pounding.

Really? You're making me drool!
Don't jest xP
(Sorry I'm reading romeo and juliet xP Surely you Jest! Ahah! <- Mercutio rulz!)
Okay.
any way, I really want to see it, and some crazy other show that my mother told me about (forgot it's name) Circus something?
yeah.
*wriggles* Dumb pedestrians are always funny to watch for a while and then to stick your head out the side of the car and tell them to walk faster.

I love Shakespeare. I'm an especially big fan of Hamlet. *sigh* I love tortured souls. Which may be why I really enjoyed Phantom. Because the Phantom is definitely tortured.  Hmm, was it Cirque du Soleil? It's a really crazy and famous circus show. I was picking between that and Phantom, actually. My parents saw it and said it was really cool. These pedestrians don't pay attention to the signs telling you when you to walk. Of course, the vast majority of the drivers don't pay attention to rules either. >.> It drives my aunt and uncle up the wall crazy. |

Yes Shakespeare is the luff.
I started reading all that great stuffs when I was... eight I think... My mom said that it's the reason I'm so terribly apathetic...
my favs. are some of his comedy
Cymbeline
And Taming of the Shrew
Then I like Orthello and King Lear....
Oh screw the list I love 'em all! xP
Cirque du Soleil? Possibly... if it's famous and crazy no wonder it's in vegas xP
Lol.
Stoopid pedestrians xP
Your aunt and uncle should run them over and then say it's their fault. >.>
Not that I'm suggesting violence or any thing
*Cough!*

Whenever we read Shakespeare in class, no on except me seemed to get his humor. So I spent my time laughing to myself. >.> I love classics much more than contemporary stuff. Picture of Dorian Grey, Count of Monte Cristo, Pride & Prejudice, Dracula, even Beowulf. Love it all. I'm also a rather big Tolkien fan, though I don't think everyone throws him under the classic title. Haha.
Ohhh, so Pickles is the violent sort, eh? Heehee. ^^
Btw, you simply must listen to the Phantom soundtrack. I went out and bought the movie soundtrack right away and have been listening to it nonstop since. It has a lot of the same songs they play.

Quite xP
When we read Edgar Allen Poe's poems/prose in class no one get's his humor and I often like you sit and laugh to myself, I find him quite funny actually in a dry menacing … dreadful way =]
CLASSICS ROCK
I actually had to continue something from Hamlet using Iambic Pentameter, it was quite fun. I haven't read Beowulf, but I plan to, as for Dracula, that was the first book that started my absolute love for Dracula and even though I'm not a vampire liker, and don't like those goofy stories envolving them, Dracula was nothing like that. x]
But I tend to babble on about books I like xP

Ah Poe. I have a book with a lot of his stories and poems. Haven't read anything of his in awhile though. Should probably do that soon, haha. Beowulf was good. I read it last summer, and then we had to read it in my Literature class. But Dracula was one of the first classics I read. Loved it so much, but like you I'm not a vampire liker either. Though...*glances around* the Twilight books are my guilty pleasure. *runs and hides* But yeah, Dracula was just so....fascinating. Totally unlike all the vampires running around now, haha. So yeah, as you can tell I babble about books I like too. ^^

*eyes the violent Pickles*
*imagines pickles with machine guns*
*shot*
Violent Pickles!!!!!!!!!!!
*coughs* Yeah, um, I'm finished with the dumb jokes now. I like Much Ado About Nothing! I have the movie, but I want to get the book. I really understand the humor in Shakespeare's plays, and when we had to paraphrase some lines in A Midsummer Night's Dream, I was the only one in my group who could. |
