Today is saturday and I'm sick/ill... I believe it's a cold. I am really sad that I am sick because today I wanted to go to a concert, a Michael Bublé concert. He's having 2 concerts here in Portugal and I cannot go because I am sick... and also because I didn't get tickets but I could have last minute!
Anyway, I can't go so I have to find something to do. As usual I go on my computer and I watch videos.
This time I decided to watch videos of Nicole Scherzinger and for the past couple of months I have been obsessed with a video of her singing a song from The Phantom of the Opera. In the video she is singing a duet with 4 men and one of them really catches my attention. I search to find who he is. His name is Ramin Karimloo. As I do I go and search more things about this man. I find a video of him and Sierra Boggess singing a duet of "The Phantom of the Opera". I keep on playing the same video over and over and slowly I start falling in love with these two characters. I go on the search box and I type down "Phantom of the Opera". Amongst the many videos of this musical I see there's an almost 3 hour long one, so I figure it must be either a movie or a play. I click on the video, put my headphones on and I just sit there waiting to see what happens.
The characters start talking and the story starts to evolve and as the minutes go by I feel happy as I've found something to watch on this sick/ill day.
Midway through the play - I quickly figured it was a play and not a movie - I feel the need to pause the video as tears are streaming down my face and I am heavily breathing. In am so into the story that I feel everything the characters feel, specially the main one: The Phantom. For some sort of reason that I do not understand, I have connected with The Phantom rather than connecting with the others. I'm usually more of a good-guys-connecter type of girl! But this time it was different. I felt the pain of The Phantom, all of his emotions and his heartbreak!
I need to stop crying and compose myself before watching the other half of this play. I want to see without having tears in my eyes but I also don't want anyone of my family to see me crying. I go on to the room with my laptop and I place it on the bed. I then move myself to the bathroom to wipe down my tears and wash my face. As soon as I feel more composed, I go to the bedroom, I sit on the bed and I place the laptop on my lap. I put on my headphones and I press play!
In about 1 hour and 30 minutes the play finishes. I take off my headphones and I just sit there and contemplate everything I've just seen.
This was my first time seeing a proper musical and it's no surprise to me the amount of love I have for it!
Months have passed and it's now 2015. This amazing musical has stuck to me and with me and it most certainly will for the rest of my life!
When I was a little girl I always knew I wanted to be an actress but I only wanted to do movies or tv and I never considered doing theatre. I felt like it just wasn't for me... After watching "The Phantom of the Opera" for the first time ever, knowing nothing about the story and having felt the way I did, I have been re-considering theatre for the past year. Now I am not shutting out this option, in fact I am very much open to it!
It would be lovely to do movies and tv, I still want it but there's something about musicals that I deeply love! If I could only choose one of these "stages" I'd choose musical theatre. It's a combination of two of the most perfect things in the world: acting and singing!
Watching the musical "The Phantom of the Opera" has completely changes my life and I will for ever love it, adore it, worship it!
Love,
