A/N: So this is a parody of Phantom of the Opera (one of my favorite musicals ever!) and it was written for a skit at my school. I thought that I'd just throw it out here and see what you guys think. This is short and moves fast because the overall show it's a part of has at least ten other skits, so they all need to be under a certain time limit. So please enjoy!

Andre and Firmin: (Start to follow) NOOOOOOO! (Stop)
Andre: Now who will take the part? We'll have to give out refunds to everyone who was going to come!
Firmin: And that's…
Andre: Bad.
Firmin: Right! Why?
Andre: (Sighs) Because we're the managers and would have to give our money back to the people!
Firmin: But I like money…
Andre: So we need to find someone to replace Carlotta!

Madame Giry: Shut up, Meg.
Meg: (Stops)
Christine: (In audience or somewhere random) You talking about me behind my back? (Goes to Giry) If I want the part, I'll speak up for myself! I don't need you, Madame Giry! You're just the entire reason why I have a job and a house!

Christine: Yes.

Madame Giry: (Throws Christine towards Raoul) Take her! She's been whining since I got her.
Christine: (Whines)
Raoul: (Takes her) Ah, Christine! Finally! We can be together! I knew this would happen since that one day five years ago when I saw you that one time!
Christine: We were like childhood sweethearts for those five minutes!

Christine: (Enters singing ABCs and trips on the banana peel)
Phantom: (Laughs hysterically from offstage)
Christine: (Cries) The Phantom is so mean!
Phantom: Deal with it!
Raoul: (Runs to Christine and hugs her) The Phantom isn't real, Christine. You're just a little coocoo for coco puffs.
Christine: You saw him!
Raoul: Nope. Not real.
Phantom: I'm real.
Raoul: Not believing it. But I'll still marry you, Christine.
Christine: Yay! (Claps)
(Lights out then up. Everyone except Phantom is on stage, laughing and talking. Then dramatic music plays)
Phantom: (Enters)
Meg: (Starts to freak out)
Phantom: Hey guys! What's up? Partay! (Laughs then becomes serious) Okay. Enough of that. Here's an opera. (Throws down a binder) Don't mess it up. Christine gets the lead, Carlotta gets nothing, and Meg… Just shut up. And you! (Goes up to Raoul) I. Called. Dibs. On. Christine. She's mine! (Runs offstage)
Firmin: So we'll put Carlotta as the lead and mess this up.
Andre: Sounds good.
Everyone: (Chatters)
Raoul: I have an idea!
Everyone: (Silence)
Raoul: Why don't we actually do what he says? Then we can catch him! (Hands the binder to Christine) Sing.
Christine: Wait, so you're just using me now to get someone that you didn't even think was real until two minutes ago?
Raoul: Well when you put it that way, I sound like a jerk! But yes.
Christine: (Hesitates) Okay. Just don't let him take me again.
Raoul: (Winks) No promises.
(Lights out then up)
Christine: (Singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) Twinkle Twinkle Little Star…
Phantom: (Enters) How I wonder what you are!
Both: Up above the world so high.
Phantom: Like a diamond in the- MINE! (Steals Christine)
Christine: (Screams)
(Lights out then up)
Phantom: (Enters) Okay! We're getting married right now!
Christine: But-
Phantom: No buts!
Christine: Where are we anyway?
Phantom: In my lair under the opera house!
Christine: But it looks just like the other sets and-
Phantom: Shh! We're on a budget!
Raoul: (Enters) Christine!
Phantom: Ah! Oh, it's you. (Grabs handcuffs and handcuffs him to a chair)
Raoul: Not fair! Christine said she'd marry me!
Phantom: And I called dibs! So she's mine!
Raoul: Can't she choose?
Phantom: (Pauses) Okay, but on my conditions. Choose me, and I'll let Raoul go. Choose Raoul, and I'll kill him.
Christine: So I have to choose you?
Phantom: Yes.
Christine: (Ponders) Okay!
Phantom: Alright Raoul. Time to die. (Steps towards Raoul)

Phantom: Really? Oh! Awesome! (Hugs Christine)
Christine: (Hugs Phantom)
Raoul: Eeeeww cooties.
Phantom: (Pulls away) Okay, you're both free to go.

Christine: No! I want to stay with you! (Clings to Phantom)
Phantom: (Pulls Christine off) No! Go with your love! You know you want to!
Christine: But I love you!
Phantom: No you don't! Madame Giry, please take this crazy woman.
Madame Giry: (Enters and takes Christine offstage)
Raoul: What the-? When did she-?
Phantom: Why aren't you gone?!
Raoul: Sorry! Sorry! Don't kill me! Please! (Scurries off with the chair still chained to him)
Phantom: Tch, Frenchmen.
(Lights out)
A/N: Not bad, right? Maybe? No? Okay T.T Well, it was fun to write and I did it in one night, so I'm actually pretty proud of this little piece o' crap. Please review and give me suggestions on what to fix so that it will be better by the time it gets put on stage!
