Summary

Hey y'all! Jen Comfort joins Mel to squee about their shared childhood obsession with Phantom of the Opera! When she was writing Midnight Duet she obviously did a lot of research and she BRINGS RECEIPTS about the production and cast!

Bonus Content: Andrew Lloyd Webber always being *extra*, explaining the Hades and Persephone trope to a 4 and 6 year old, "doing a gondola on her", a 4 year old exclusively calling Raoul "Christine's true love", how Mel almost fought a girl because she dared laugh at the opening chords of Phantom in the movie theater, Jen and Mel being grandfathered into ogling the teenaged cast because we were the same age when this movie came out, and SO MUCH MORE!!!
