Just unbelieveably gorgeous writing. What a beautiful space Meg takes up in your life, even now. Phantom was the first musical my parents ever saw here in London, but I haven't been! Maybe it's time.

Stunning. ✨ I had no idea Phantom was no longer in NY - hard to imagine it without it 🖤

My God, Lindsey, I am in tears. I reread so many lines just to experience them again, caught in the imagery and emotion and then that last line, my God. Just wow.

I love this so much! I remember watching the film version starring Claude Rains, because I always watched old movies with my dad. I've read the book (I think it's still on a shelf somewhere) and I've watched the most recent musical film. I haven't seen the live production though. It's the only thing on my bucket list! Your reflections and descriptions are so gorgeous to read. How wonderful that you had Meg in your life. Thank you Lindsey - this gave me shivers.
