We are LIVE and in person to bring you the most intense chapters yet from Phantom. Cara and Kristin are on the opera roof making odd moaning and groaning noises as Christine details her terrible journey below in Chapter 13: Apollo's Lyre. Then, we support Philippe in his one-man mission to create common sense Raoul reform in Chapter 14: A Masterstroke from the King of the Traps. All bangers all the time as we mourn the closing of Broadway's Phantom and hear a reading from Kristin's journal about....you guessed it....Phantom! ⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram! ⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/lerouxlesstravelled] Follow us on Tik Tok!

WE DID IT! We have come to the end of our recap of Susan Kay's "Phantom" just in time for Fall (the summer technically ended don't judge us). Kay lands her Phantom of the Opera sized plane this chapter, getting us to the events of the book/musical with grace and poise and...a lot of blasphemy. Cara and Kristin are joined by friend of the pod and noted Raoul scholar Rachel (@rachellacroixs) to finish our Summer of Susan with a BANG....literally!
