Hello to all. I am a newbie here, although I love the Phantom since I saw it in The Netherlands in 1993. I saw a lot of musicals after the Phantom, but none was as good as this one. A few years ago I saw the Phantom in London with Ramin Karimloo as Phantom. I hope to see Love Never Dies this December. Next to the Phantom I love horses, horse races and horse riding. I started last year, and I wish I started earlier. My favorite actor is Nathaniel Parker. He has nothing to do with the Phantom, but for me he is the best actor there ever was. You might know him as Inspector Lynley. I was born and raised in the Netherlands and I lived there almost all of my life, accept for some time in 1995, when I worked in Disneyland Paris. I found this forum with many thanks to a mention to a Phantom forum on the Love Never Dies forum. I didn't know such place excisted, so the first thing I did was google a Phantom forum and there it was. I am happy to see that I am not the only one that loves the musical. I hope to visit the forum more often, to read and post. But now I am off as Inspector Lynley is about to begin on TV and I don't want to miss that.

Many thanks for the nice welcomes. I already feel at home here. Next month I am in London to see Love Never Dies. I am very curious about that. I have the CD, and I listen to it a lot. I hope to see Ramin Karimloo again. I saw him 4 years ago in POTO and he was great.
