This’ll probably be one of the last animatics I post in a while, but I had to contribute at least one of them to one of my favorite ships of all time— Megstine 🥰🫶
Thank Goodness but for some reason the onceler is slowly creeping up behind her. possibly a metaphor for her greed.

big fan of when a character is a vengeful ghost but they're not even dead
Photos from Theater Lueneburg's production of Love Never Dies. It stars real life husband and wife (and former Phantom) Thomas Borchert and Navina Heyne.

Love Never Dies ACT 1 Commentary (First Watch)
2012 Recording with Ben Lewis & Anna O’Bryne
**I know the general plot already**
!!Spoilers ahead!!
**All commentary is written IN THE MOMENT**
Just causally namedropping Oscar Hammerstein? lol
16 mins in and they’re already missing the whole point of POTO. Christine did NOT shun or despise Phantom (not including him committing murder and kidnapping). She showed him kindness.
Awww Meg being excited about Christine coming to Coney Island.
Meg is so darling. WE MUST PROTECT MEG <3 (I know where the story goes lol, but let me dream)
The stage smoke and sparks are freaking me out a bit lol. I feel so close to them
Amazing sets, costumes, and lighting.
“I want to go to Coney Island. And learn how to swim.” Big gulp. Chekov’s gun. Sorry Gustave.
That pretty carriage NEEDS to be in Elisabeth das Musical lmao. Aura 1000%
Idk if it’s foresight talking but HUH- I’d be asking for ID if I was getting in some random carriage
LND Raoul is classist, too? Sheesh. Pick a struggle.
I want to deck Raoul in the face already.
Simon Gleeson‘s (Raoul’s) talking voice low key sounds like Hadley Fraser. Or maybe I’m hallucinating.
“Father never plays with me. Doesn’t he love me?” SCREAMS. I’m so sorry dear. I’m your new dad now.
WE MUST PROTECT GUSTAVE <3
Phantom’s entrance into Christine’s room is so dramatic lmao
“Beneath a Moonless Sky”is so good
I love a little blue light and balcony (Rebecca das Musical)
Some one threatening to “take away everything you love” is a sign to RUN, not fall in love with them (hasn’t happened yet, but I know dang well)
Meg: “You look sublime!” Christine: “You look the same.” GIRL WHY DID YOU SAY THAT???😭 LIE IF YOU HAVE TO
Musical abilities are NOT a paternity test.
Gustave’s (Jack Lyall’s) voice is amazing
Why would the Phantom of all people think it’s okay to put others on display simply because they’re born different? (Although the plastic crystal boxes might just be metaphorical?)
“The Beauty Underneath” is a BANGER.
Will be back with Act 2 commentary soon. Pls feel free to to discuss your thoughts with me :)
I’m not trying to be a hater, just telling my honest opinion. I’m here for a good time. <3
my boyfriend just asked me for a "review" of The Count of Monte Cristo and i had to send him this as a warning
Elisabeth + ao3tagoftheday
i keep thinking about how in the original 1992 production of the elisabeth musical "death" was implied to be genderfluid and even appeared in a ball gown in one scene and for some reason later productions turned him into some guy in a leather jacket and made what used to be a cool metaphor for depression and suicidal tendencies into just another heterosexual love story
Clarissa | she/her | 18 • Musicals, classic literature, etc.• Current focus: Love Never Dies (for fun, not serious) + Phantom of the Opera
