Hey everyone 
I'm Amy and I've been a "phan" since I was five years old.
("Hi Amy.")
Har har.
I love musical theater but Phantom has always remained my favorite ever since it warped my fragile little mind at a young age. Thanks to my love for this show, I fought to overcome my crippling shyness from elementary school through high school in order to study music and perform in various shows.
I hold an associates degree in theater arts, worked for two years in the education department at a local theater, worked as a stage manager, assistant stage manager and spot light operator, and as of Fall 2011, I'll be returning to school to finish my theater degree. And Phantom is to blame for it all.
I'm not exactly a purist. Despite my extreme dislike of a few movie versions, including the 2004 film, I'm mostly a pretty tolerant Phan. And I guess that's why I'm here. I'm not pro or anti Love Never Dies. I've listened to it a lot and I love the score. Some of the lyrics are cringe worthy. I love getting to see more of the Phantom's character. But I have major issues with the plot. I guess I'm split 50/50 on where I stand.
But I see no reason to let that come between me and other Phans. I really appreciate the mission statement behind this forum and I'm looking forward to our discussions. Thanks!
