I swear, the Phantom would be an AWESOME superhero if it weren't for his tragic backstory.

Ok. Put on your listening ears for five minutes Got them on? Good. Now just listen Long ago, there lived a man His name was Carlo, and he ran An ancient theater where his daughter was the star With me? Karla's the star, yeah No! His daughter's name is Esmerelda, and she's famous People come to hear her sing from near and far Got it Good Now, there's a rumor going round That in the tunnels underground There lives Wait, I know, can I guess? Sure, if you can A mysterious phantom! Me! Right? Right, well, mostly But the twist is that this ghostly Evil presence isn't monster, but man Now, this man had been blessed With a gift he possessed Musical talents completely unmatched But, as you often will find In epic tales of this kind This gift came with a curse attached A face that was hideous And so jarring He wore a mask to cover all the scarring Cool! And lived underground inside a hole Wait, a hole? Why a hole? All his life, he'd been tormented, teased, and taunted But now his hunters would become the haunted The world that always made him feel unwanted would hear the toll The sounds of a tortured soul Ok, so I was born with a lightning scar, got it No, no. Your typical, everyday scar Ohh, Scar like Lion King You know, you are actually the worst Listen up, you're gonna need to know this One day at his piano Distant sounds of a soprano Drifted towards him from the theater above K, so this hole has a piano? Sweeter than a bird In all his life he'd never heard A sound like this, and he was instantly in love The voice, of course, was Carlo's daughter And the Phantom went and sought her To become his secret student, and his muse And if you think she found this oh-so- Enigmatic virtuoso Kinda creepy, then I've got some shocking news Because she fell, and fell hard He was battered and scarred But she could see that inside, there was more Something alluring, she'd find In the sadness behind That terrifying mask he wore Wait a minute, I'm your boyfriend? Are we gonna have to kiss? That's gross, you're like my sister Zeke, it's called acting And though he was hideous And she was perfection Through music, they found their connection A bond beyond their own control You better not get sick, I am NOT kissing Tina! And though his face tormented her and chilled her His compositions haunted her and thrilled her His mesmerizing melodies fulfilled her, made her whole The sounds of a tortured soul She was beautiful, and he was hideous Ok so this IS Beauty and the Beast? Zeke, less talking. More listening 'Cause here's where it gets interesting Ezzy has another man, some Guy named Raoul who's tall and handsome And not all that pleased about her latest beau Ah, always a triangle Angrily, Raoul tracks him To his lair, where he attacks him And they battle in the passageway below Awesome! And when he took his last breath The Phantom welcomed his death He'd rather die than live apart When it was over and done Raoul had killed him-he'd won But he'd lost Esmerelda's heart 'Cause though he was pretty, yes And a keeper The Phantom's love was so much deeper A loss that nothing could console No more, she'd see that face that once had chilled her No more, she'd hear that music that fulfilled her And people say that that's the thing that killed her, on the whole She ran away and was never seen again. But get this When they returned to find the Phantom and unmask it They never found a body for the casket They say he had, depending who you ask it, one last goal (One last goal) To this day, inside that theater, or near it If you listen very closely, you can hear it The songs of a tortured spirit's final role The sounds of a tortured soul That's the basic plot, anyway So it's about a person who died at a theater And then haunts it forever? Yes Brooke! That's just like the story Ms. Walker told! This play is just like the story of our school That is so... meta. Man
