This coming Saturday, November 8th, at 11pm, The Vista Theatre (located on the intersection of Hollywood Blvd. and Sunset Blvd.) in Hollywood, will be hosting a special 10th anniversary screening of Joel Schumacher's film version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "The Phantom of the Opera."
Every November, The Vista plays this film annually on one night. Being that this is the 10th Anniversary of when the film was released, efforts were made to make this year a particularly special one.
The great granddaughter of Gaston Leroux (the author of the original 1911 novel) will be flying in from Paris with seven members of the Leroux family in tow! Make sure to bring a copy of the book, or anything Phantom related for her to sign.
Trailers for other "Phantom" film adaptations will be shown prior to the movie, as well as the 2008 "Hunchback" adaptation of "Victor Hugo's Our Lady of Paris" directed by yours truly.
In addition to the festivities, I will be singing a few songs from the show accompanied by a slideshow and video footage of visits to the actual Paris Opera House, Stage 28 at Universal Studios, and stills of me performing as the Phantom in a production of the Kopit/Yeston version. There will also be a Box 5 photo op. Those of you who wish to come in costume, it is strongly encouraged.
Many thanks to Martha Boswell at Greensleeves Musik for being able to pull this off and asking me to be a part of this. For more information on how you can attend the screening, visit her Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/greensleeves.musik?fref=ts
