On my 18th birthday, my parents took me to watch Starlight Express at The Apollo Theatre, in the West End. Amazing!
While Starlight has to be my favourite Webber musical, I think that one of the most striking characters has to be The Phantom of the Opera.
Until very recently, I actually had no idea about the plot of Phantom.
I’m an avid Terry Pratchett Discworld reader and have been collecting the series since I was at university. One of my latest additions is a second-hand copy of Maskerade.
Unbeknown to me at the time, this book is based on the story of the phantom. In this case, a character called Walter Plinge.
I wanted to create a monochrome Duck Does and felt that the phantom would make the ideal muse.
