Located on a small expansion shelf about midway between the Third and Fourth Circles, Musical Hell is presided over by Diva, a minor demon charged with passing judgement on the worst musicals ever committed to film. (She still hasn't figured out if this is their punishment or hers.) Take a seat on the bench and have your earplugs ready, because court is now in session.

New videos posted on the first Monday of the month. Other viewpoints, news, and general ramblings posted when they crop up.

At the Source: The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

Yeah, you knew I had to do an "At the Source" on Phantom sometime, right?  Well, here it is--the original story and some thoughts on why adaptations always go off in some pretty wild directions with it.




And I'm heading out of town next week, so look for October's Musical Hell Review around October 14th! See you then!
