73. The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

*cue intense organ music*

This week our hosts are reviewing the book that inspired Chelsea's all-time favorite musical! This story presents itself as a historical tale as the author walks us through the *very true* story of the opera house ghost. Our hosts compare the book to both the movie and the stage production, and they apologize for the number of times they break out in song.
