The Phantom of the Opera

Director Harold Prince wants the audience to “be collaborators, to use their imaginations to fill in the spaces we’ve deliberately left blank”.

“Fill in the blanks” of The Phantom of the Opera. In diary, story, poem or skit form, create the legends of:

The Phantom's early life: from his childhood and time at the sideshow, to his life at the Opera House and the first moment he saw Christine.
Christine and Raoul's first meeting on the beach.
Christine and her father, the famous violinist, and their relationship.
The Phantom and Madame Giry: how they met, the nature of their bond.
Christine and Meg Giry: how they became friends, their relationship after the musical.
Raoul and Christine's life after they leave the Phantom: do they become married? How do they feel about each other after the events of the musical?
The Phantom's life after Christine leaves him: what happens to him in the last moment of the musical?
Does Christine ever see the Phantom again? What might happen?
Write the “legend” of Gaston Leroux, and how he was inspired to write The Phantom of the Opera? Did he meet the “Opera Ghost”?
