Posted: 4/12/06 at 6:40pmWithout a doubt, Les Mis. I find Les Mis to be stunning, and Phantom unbelievably dull.

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

Posted: 4/12/06 at 10:25pmLes Miz, I saw it first then everyone told me how much better Phantom was and I have to say I was horribly let down by Phantom. It was good, but nothing in comparison with Les Miz.

Les Miz, no contest.

I'd have said Phantom in high school.... Les Mis for sure now.
Phantom's a big gift box of cheap, overly sugary candy. Les Mis is a nice big hearty meal. 
Not that there's anything necessarily wrong with cheap candy.
#22re: Phantom or Les Miz?
Posted: 4/12/06 at 11:03pmLove them both, but Les Mis wins for me.
