Description
"Bravo, Monsieur! Such spirited words! Let's see, Monsieur, how far you dare go!"So apparently I can't stick to the drawings that I need to do, or the drawings requested of me. There's just been an explosion of inspiration lately, and you all will be seeing the outcome of that in the near future. I hope you all don't mind the current stop to requests... I'll be getting back on track shortly.
Enjoy, and please comment!

Yeah, I travel a lot already. I`ve been to Vegas twice in the bast 6 months, I travel to Edmonton often and I go to Ontario every summer (it`s a 24 hour drive.) The only reason I really draw is to let out stress and because I`ve been doing it for so long. My dad`s an art teacher at the local high school...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
how cool. and with all that help from the pros I'm sure it'd be relatively easy for you to get into the loop. I have no connections! ha ha.
cool! I've been drawing for so long... can't even remember when I began.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but connections don`t guarantee you a spot on Broadway, it helps but still...besides Howard and Tim are leaving! John Cudia is taking Howard`s place because Tim`s taking his place...I still get to go backstage and stuff of course, I`ve made friends with the other cast but still...it won`t be the same.
Yeah, my dad loves to sketch and stuff so I`ve been doing it for a while. One of my most vivid memories is walking into his room while he was painting and him screaming at me to get out, all because he couldn`t get the skates right...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
true, so true! But it helps, I'm sure.
Oh, no kidding! that's sad... what's Howard going to do now?
Well, John Cudia is really good! It won't be a bore watching him/chatting with him. Like I said, he's one of my favorites...
skates?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Howard has no idea. His agent is trying to set up a ton of interviews...outside of NY. That hurts, I'll miss him. The only good thing really is that it's Mr Cudia and not someone unpleasant, oh, and Jenifer Hope Willis is coming back from maternity leave on June 1st! I missed her, it'll be good to have her back.
Yeah, he was painting a picture of two hockey players from our town that play in the NHL on a rink here. He taught both of them so...yeah, It took him a year and a half to finish that picture. Now a print of it is in the mayor's office. My dad used to work on city council so he's a good friend of the mayor's. When we were in Vegas we went out for supper with him every night. That was fun.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, I love Jenifer! I hope to see her someday... *live*. 
whoa! mayor of Vegas? that's heavy duty awesomeness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, Jen's awesome. I can't wait to meet her kid. I'm not sure if it's a boy or girl. I haven't talked to her since she left. Ha ha, the actor you've seen live I haven't and the ones I have you haven't, pretty ironic. I'll see John soon though, so that will change. I can't wait
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ack. youtube. that's what I meant. Not broadway... 
Yes, Ironic, indeed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ha ha, yeah I understood, don't worry, I'm not that dull. What's John like? I hear that he's amazing. But you never know. Lots of people like Colm Wilkinson but I don't think that he's that great. Who are your favorite Phantoms? Mine are, 1) Anthony Crivello. 2) Ted Keegan 3)Michael Crawford 4) John Owen Jones and 5) Howard ha ha, yeah, Howard's disappointed with me...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, John... hmm. What impresses me most is his acting, but I don't really know who to compare him to. I'll admit I haven't heard a lot of the phantoms you're mentioning (although I've heard of them...) Perhaps I'll look them up. Anyway, when I saw John two years ago, I still remember that it's like you're seeing the phantom. He gets so into character!
John's voice is just-- rich and amazing. Sometimes his higher notes sound a bit forced, but eh. I like him because his voice doesn't ever bother me. Some singers just don't sound pleasant, you know? John is just great.
Hmm. Really, I only have a few favorites, and they're not in any particular order:
Gary Maeur, John Cudia, Michael Crawford, John Owen Jones, Anthony Warlow. (to tell you the truth, I hated Colm Wilkinson as the Phantom! As Jean Valjean, he's perfect. But as the Phantom? no, no, no...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Tony (Anthony Crivello) impresses me the most with his way to convey his feelings on stage, his body language and such are amazing, every time I see him live (3 times) I always cried at the end. I love his voice too. In the Music of the night when he has to sing that really high Be, he kind of pronounces it like bay. But it still sounds amazing. You could actually think that he was the Phantom on that stage...not so much backstage but he's still a great guy. He's actually won a Tony award before, for The Kiss of the Spider Woman. I've heard a few songs from that play but I've never seen it. And Tony won't show me anything. Actually, Howard did the Original cast recording for that play instead of Anthony. Howard was the understudy...
Yeah, I hated Colm as the Phantom too. His voice just isn't smooth enough to be the Phantom's. He was pretty good as Valjean though. I like JOJ better though. I love his One Day More. I've never seen the full play, only clips. But I have the book. So I know what goes on. I like Michael Ball when he sings 'Empty Chairs at Empty Tables.' he was amazing in that...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
awesome! I'll have to look him up... he sounds amazing.
I agree! Colm also just reminds me too much of a kind, mayor. The phantom isn't a kind mayor!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, there's a ton of videos on youtube of Tony, I love his final lair scene. In it they have a cage instead of the lasso that Andrew (Raoul) gets trapped in. It's really cool! And hilarious because the cage comes up from the floor and if he made one wrong move he could get a limb cut off. And their idea of security is having a little white x on the floor (that's peeling off.) with a security camera trained on it XD
Yeah, Colm does. I can't believe he was the original Canadian Phantom, it's disappointing...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just checked him out! He looks so sad when he cries... -sniffle-
yah, what's up with that cage? Looks dangerous! lol.
Yah-- really.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, it's funny though, he acts like that on stage but when you meet him he loves talking about sports-not kidding he owns a stock with the Greenbay Packers. What clips have you watched of him?
It is dangerous-apparently ALW had to have it so made them put it in the Vegas production...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha! really? I've never really been into sports... how old is he? He seems like an "older" phantom... but it's kind of hard to judge from seeing him in his make-up.
I saw a final lair clip of him.
Stupid Andrew...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I love soccer and basketball and soccer, he's 53.Yeah, he looks younger in his make up. all Phantoms are old actually. Howard is 56 the youngest as 26...
I love Anthony's final lair! I hate PONR though, they cut it short in the Vegas show...
Yeah, especially about the sequel, stupid Sir Andy...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
youngest... meaning ramin kamriloo?
aw, really? that's one of the best songs ever!
Andrew: "well heck yes, it's dangerous, but so is everything else in the show. If the phantom can sit atop a statue 100 feet above the ground, so can Raoul. We just have to have the cage. So what if we risk a few lives? We all have to make sacrifices in the business." (he didn't actually say this, but I can just imagine it...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
maybe...I don't remember who it was, I read it somewhere though...
Yeah, I know, the Vegas show is only 95 minutes. The effects are amazing though, the chandelier in particular. But after wandering child there's a flame wall that comes up, it's awesome, not to mention the great actors!
Ha ha, I can imagine him saying that. "We can afford to [ay the insurance for the cage so why not? I couldn't afford it at the beginning because Phantom wasn't up yet, but now, 21 years and 99 billion dollars later, I think we can afford it, it's worth it if we make more money-hey! Maybe I can get a new cat from it!"-yes, I can just imagine...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yah, i'll see it if I ever go to Vegas (but I'm not the gambler-type, so I don't know if I'll ever go...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you don't have to be a gambler to go to Vegas, I've gone 2 times in 4 months (admittedly the second time was because of me. I had to see Phantom again...) But there's so much you can do. The Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon etc etc...
Yeah, I don't really like Sir Andy all that much...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
true, very true! Still, If I do travel, I'd rather go to so many other places first... ^_^
Andrew is has delusions of grandeur. Probably because he WAS a great composer and all that. Not so now!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I want to go to Paris someday. Definatly going to see Erik's home. What true phan wouldn't? ^^
Yeah Lord Andy's off his rocker I say. Have you seen Joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat? We watched it in performing arts the other day. It scared me...seriously..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, I'm very, very excited about that. Too bad I most likely won't be able to access the cellars...
Actually, I really like that musical! If it's done right, it's really cute. The story itself is classic (comes from the Bible) and even though it has a funky 60's twist to it, I practically grew up with it, so it just reminds me of my childhood. Did you see a professional version of it or a wacky version?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I want to see box 5 for sure. It sucks that we can't see the cellars... maybe Erik's ghost is still in there...just kidding!
Yeah, it's good but it does scare me sometimes. W saw the movie with...Donny Osmond in it. We haven't finished watching it yet, we're reading scripts now. I like the story too ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, that would be awesome to find stuff in the cellars. I'd feel like Chelsey!
it's a little-- weird, I'll admit. Watching it with guests who have never seen it is a bit awkward, but like I said, I practically grew up on it so I guess I don't notice things.
Can't go wrong with the Bible!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ha ha, yeah! Then we would all have Erik to fight over. Wouldn't that be a scene? A million phangirls fighting over a deformed ghost?
Yeah, they are a little weird like with the goat and the phones and Joseph getting his clothes and stuff ripped off...yeah. But if you frow up on something you don't notice the little things. Like, for about 8 years I was in love with Scooby Doo and I never saw anything in there that would make other people think it was weird, I still like it by the way, not obsessed with it like I used to be though...
Yeah, you can't go wrong with the bible, my friends disagree, but I'll let them think whatever they want...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Poor Erik-- he would not enjoy all the attention (ironic, isn't it?)
phones... in Joseph? hmm. I must've missed that...
Scooby Doo is awesome! the animation is pretty bad, but I used to watch cartoon network all the time.
So... I take it you're a Christian or something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Erik would punjab everyone who came near him-especailly phan girls...
yeah, phones in Joseph...kind of strange....
Yeah, Scooby Doo is awesome! The animation was in the 1940's after all, and I was in love with Cartooon Network!
Yeah, I'm Christian, what about you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
totally! Jesus-- rocks!!
it's nice to meet Christians on here, ya know? If we never get to meet in this life, perhaps the next? Am I right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
exactly! Most of my friends aren't Christain though. Only like, 2/5 are. It makes me really sad. Same with my parents my cousin is the one that introduced me to God and now I go to bible camp for a week every summer
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
d'aww... I actually feel sorry for myself because ALL my friends are practically Christians... I want to reach out, but it's hard when my group of friends are all "good"... you know? I've always wanted to share the message with someone, but it's tough... but I guess that's not a PROBLEM, is it? ha ha.
Just pray for your parents! Your attitude should rub off on them someday!
Bible camp rocks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's difficult having friends that don't believe in the same things you do. They ignore me if I start talking about God or whatever and they treat church and chapel as the bane of their existance-I love it though! Most of them just refuse to believe in His existance and don't hate him like some people...
I hope my parents get more religious! It makes all of this kind of hard...
I love camp. We have so much fun there! I go for 6 days a week and go to chapel an hour each day and we have devotions every night. And we do various things for the rest of the day. I love it! I love getting together with all the other worshipers and I have really close relationships with all my past councilers and friends....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so true... but remember it's not as much about the "religion" as it is the relationship with Jesus, right?
I play in the worship band at my youth group and just getting closer to the heart of Jesus every week is amazing. What kind of worship music do you enjoy... just curious?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sorry it took a while to reply. My birthday's coming up and I've been planning a Phantom party of course. My friends may not like it but that's what it's going to be...
Thanks, I'll remember to note you if I need a prayer. Life is going good right now. Well, I have finals and stuff coming up but that's about it. I just need to study a bit extra in math (I hate math with a passion!)
Right, thanks for reminding me, it's starting to rub off on me! The sad thing is that there is almost no one in our school that goes to church so I'm growing up in an athiest or agnostic society...
Well, I love almost any type of worship music. I only have a few favorite songs. Have you ever heard of the sing "For God has not given us the Spirit of Fear."? That's a good one another one I love is I will not be shaken!" and "God is a good God.", "Lord I lift your name on high" and "My God is an awesome God!" We play a lot of worship music at camp. I still listen to it when I can. I love those songs-they mean a ton to me. They have helped connect me with God more than anything else I believe. They showed me how much God does love us-the message through them anyway.

oh, you're good... Happy Birthday!!
great! Same here. I feel like God has blessed me a lot... I've never had it tough like some people.
This world is getting worse all the time... I hear ya...
same here... I love those songs! Well, some of them don't ring a bell, but then again, my church doesn't pull out too many hymns every week. We play stuff like Hillsong United, Chris Tomlin or David Crowder. You ever heard their music? If you haven't, I highly recommend it! I like worship that's pretty modern but powerful-- stuff that'll make your heart thump and make you want to sing at the top of your lungs. But everyone has their own tastes. Here's a link to my current favorite song from Hillsong's new cd, in case you're interested: [link]

Thanks! It's on the 12th but my dad's already got me a present. He bought me tickets to a play in Edmonton called "The Music of the Night-Celebrating Andrew Lloyd Webber." that's on the 20th-I can't wait! It's probably going to be the present I ever got...
Yeah, some people have it really bad. I pray for them everyday and hope that their lives get better soon...
Yup, the world's getting worse everyday. With all these wars and stuff like that it's a miracle we haven't died out yet I think....
Yeah, at chapel we spend a ton of time singing. In fact, every night there is a different activity at camp and one of them is called TBA-no not to be announced. It's called the Bible is awesome! We spend an hour just singing and listening to the band play. It's on of the best nights at camp. And at campfire we sing songs too. We always have fun doing that. The campfire is always amazing-I love it. I've never heard of those people before-thanks for introducing me to them!
I was just listening to the full symphonic recording to Les Mis and I just realized how many religious aspects they have in it-I love it! The epilogue made me cry. I feel so bad for Valjean!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
awww! yes. you're going to have a great time!
that's the best way to help them... pray!
yah... so where do you stand on politics? (and now for something completely different!!)
yes! As the keyboardist in the band, I learn a ton of those songs and play them every wed. night... it just edifies me so much, words can't describe!
oh yeahh! That's probably why it's my second favorite musical... God is such an important part in the transformation of Valjean's life... and if you ever get a chance to see the play, whether in a theater in london or a school edition, it really hits you. I also recommend the concert dvd. The music and the words have made me cry more than once! I just love that musical so much...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah-I'm so happy!
Yup, the best way to help them for sure-I hope that God grants mercy on them soon....
Hmm, I don't play many instruments-I had to take band for 2 years and I played the saxophone. But other than that I can play the piano a bit but I really want to learn the violin...
yeah, I love John Owen Jones as Valjean-he's amazing! I've seen the dream cast and I definatly prefer JOJ to mr Wilkinson. But he's very good too. I think that Michael Ball is amazing as Marius, he's one of my favorite actors. What is your favorite song from Les Mis? Mine is the epilouge and one day more. Empty Chairs at Empty tables and look down and do you hear the people sing are amazing too...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I always tell myself that it's the person's choice, and while God can work miracles, it's ultimately their choice. Even God can't make them choose him.
Cool! so yes, I play piano... and violin sounds great too, but I guess I'm too busy at the moment to learn how to play another instrument.
john owen jones ROCKS. Wilkinson is great, but yah, jones sounds more natural.
Michael is my favorite marius. definitely.
those two songs are the most impactful, for sure! Mine would have to be "On My Own" and "One Day More."
They're all good. It's hard to choose.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, good point. As they say, you can lead the horse to water water but you can't make him drink. You can show a person God but you can't make them believe, as much as you would like to. it's those who you do convert that should give you the peace of mind...
Yeah, ha ha. My uncle plays a whole ton of instruments (and he's a lawyer.) and he's always telling me to learn more.
JOJ is awesome-I love the way he says the last 2 lines in Phantom! Makes me cry everytime! I think he does the ending lines the best.
Michael is the best Marius-he was supposed to be the original Raoul but had to quit due to health problems...
Yeah-they rock!
What musicals have you seen?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pretty much all my relatives on my Mom's side played violin... even professionally! I shoud've taken it up as a child...
omgosh yes. he's amazing... he does. I love his final lair.
really? I had no idea!
musicals... hm.
1. Beauty and the Beast
2. Sound of Music
3. Phantom of the Opera (x3)
4. Joseph and the Amazing Tech. Dreamcoat
5. Jesus Christ Superstar
6. Mamma Mia (wasn't that good!)
7. Wicked
I think that's it. I hope to see Phantom and Les Mis in london in a few weeks!!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're lucky! My uncle is the only one who plays instruments in my family. My dad's an artist and my aunt is WAY into theater. I'm a mixture of all of them I suppose...
Yeah, I love JOJ. He's amazing in almost anything. I wonder what play he's doing right now...
Yeah, he was supposed to be the original Raoul but Barton did it instead. He was having panic attacks and stuff too for some reason...I don't know.
You're lucky! I've only seen Phantom...more than a couple times...but that's it! I so want to see Beauty and the Beast...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wonder too...
hmm. poor guy!
If I ever get a chance, I'll see Beauty and the Beast again... it was so long ago! It was my first one...
Oh, I don't know if high school productions count, but here's the ones I've seen:
Joseph (again! lol)
Les Miserables
Seussical the Musical
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah-is your family musical? (Besides playing the violin.)
I'll have to check that out sometime.
Yeah-it was from a surgery or something....
Lucky! My first play ever was actually Cyrano de Bergerac. Have you heard of it? My cousin was in it last summer so I went to see it. It reminds me of Phantom a lot...
Hm, I've seen a lot of high school plays-none of them musicals though. The last one I saw was called Nothing But the Truth-it was hilarious! And it was a dessert theater too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, all my siblings (two brothers) play the piano. My mom took piano and violin but dropped them... My Dad can play the drums, guitar, and a little bit of piano too. So, yes, I guess!
no? what's it about?
huh! cool. Have you ever seen any Shakespeare plays, or real operas?
Shakespeare:
Much ado about nothing, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet (youth), and I was in As you like it (youth).
Opera:
Aida, La Boheme.

Wow, you're lucky! My uncle signed me up for vocal lessons for my birthday today. He phoned and he was like "Guess what I got for you!" And I asked him what and he told me that he signed me up. Talk about a present!
It's about this man, Cyrano, he has a very long nose and gets shunned by society, this was in the 1800s. He's in the army and it turns out that he lovess his cousin-Roxanne. But his cousin loves another man named Christian. In the end Christian gets shot and died, the Roxanne goes and lives in a nunnery. Then, Cyrano gets a brick dropped on his head and dies. It was tragic.
When I was in grade 4 we had to read the Hamlet script. Then, I read Romeo and Julliet and last year we read Much ado anout nothing.
For Operas I have heard songs from Faust-like the Jewel song. I can sing a bit of it too...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yay! that's awesome!
aw, yes! I've heard about that story. First a man without a nose and now a man with too long of a nose.
Shakespeare is just awesome once you get into it... I'm going to visit the globe theater (where most of his plays were originally performed...) in England in a few weeks!
Yes, I love that song. I really want to see Faust someday...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know. I don't start until September though.
Ha ha, yeah. My cousin played the cousin, Roxanne in that play last year. She's a really good actor. But she's becoming a nurse instead of an actress.
Lucky! I want to see the globe!My cousin went last summer and took pictures. It was amazing!I hope you enjoy your trip to England. I really want to go someday.
I do too...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, it gives you time to practice until then so you can impress your voice teacher!
cool! aw... well, she can still act for a hobby, you know? That's what I'm probably going to do.
thanks!
