One thing I love about this version is how the dancing girls all excitedly run to Christine and Meg is immediately forgotten, it really encapsulates Megs situation doesn’t it? Forever in Christine’s shadow…even though once upon a time they were both nobodies together, the Phantom chose Christine to be his Muse and he turned her into a star, and even though Meg has given her all for him for the past 10 years he still won’t give her the time of day, and replaces her as soon as Christine shows up. Now I don’t think Erik truly did anything wrong as he never once led Meg on (that was Madam Giry giving her daughter false hope) but when one views it from Megs perspective it’s heartbreaking…I could almost picture Meg singing Lucy’s Song ‘Who I Am’ from Jekyll and Hyde, because that song easily captures what Meg also probably feels 😢
