"The phantom of the opera is there/Inside our pod..." Welcome, one and all, to the Pro/Con review of "The Phantom of the Opera" (2004), that most Gothic and, uh, romantic of stage musical adaptations. Joining the Pro/Con lovebirds for this romantic episode is Lewis' wife Katy, an avowed Phantomhead. Join the trio as they debate the lurid merits of director Joel Schumacher, gush over Gerard Butler's wardrobe, and ponder the mystery of Erik the Phantom's toy monkey.
