Hehe...I'm drawn to root for the Phantom as well, but
Raoul was a decent guy (in the original ALW play) so he doesn't ruin the name for me. Unfortunately the ALW sequel, which I caught the majority of on a PBS broadcast ruined, unnecessarily in my mind, a few characters,
Raoul included, so I'm currently just blocking that all out as if it never existed, Ramin Karimloo's "'
Till I Hear You Sing" aside.
