A/N: I wrote more! These are really fun to write, and someone requested more. If you happen to be a fan of The Producers, I also have a series of Producer-related Ipod drabble-ish writings up in that section titled I Wanna Be A Producer. Check it out if you're interested! :)
1. Miami 2017 (I've Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway) by Billy Joel
Erik felt like the tragedy had stabbed him in the heart. Not only was Christine gone, but she had left with Raoul. He wondered if she would still remember him with that fool around her. Would her memories of him be the tender ones he wanted to be in her head, or would they be made of hate and fear?
He just shook her head. Did it really matter anymore? The chances of him laying eyes on her beautiful face again were so slim. He knew he had to move on, but how? How could he just erase her memory? He would have to keep her memory alive. It was all he could do now.
2. Mr. Mistoffelees from Cats
"He is like a magician," Christine explained to Raoul, pointing to the mirror in her dressing room. "You see that mirror? He figured out a way for me to use it as an entrance to his house."
"I know," Raoul agreed. "Like the fireballs at the graveyard."
"And Carlotta's voice."
"He is clever, I must give him that. But not clever enough to outsmart me." Raoul smiled down at Christine, who returned it with a chuckle.
"You obviously don't know him so well," she explained. "If he were not to be famous for his music, he would be famous for his magic!"
3. Marry the Man Today from Guys and Dolls
"Christine," Raoul said in a more serious tone than they had been conversing in earlier. They were at the de Chagny estate. Usually they would escape to some fine restaurant, but he decided it wasn't necessary this evening.
"What?" Christine asked as her love pulled a jewelry case from his jacket pocket.
He got down on his knee in front of her and opened the case. "Will you marry me?"
Christine's face lit up. "Yes, I do."
4. Jimmy from Thoroughly Modern Millie
Christine sat in front of her mirror, brushing her hair with tender movements. She wasn't brushing it because it was messy or unkempt, though. It was only something for her arms to do as she daydreamed about Raoul.
She could hardly believe that they had met each other face to face once again. In their childhood, it was a daily occurrence, but she had never expected to see him again in her adult life. Her thoughts often wandered to their old friendship, though. And now she was sure that this would evolve into something more than a friendship. Her heart seemed to fly away at the thought of him, and all she wanted to do was see his face once more.
5. You Won't Succeed on Broadway from Spamalot
"Christine, you are a very talented young singer," Erik told his pupil with a rare smile squirming onto his face. "But, I'm not sure how far your success can go."
Christine tried to disguise her shock. Erik had never given her anything but praise on her voice. "Why? Is there something wrong with my singing?"
"No, not at all. People would kill for your talent," he explained. "It's your heritage."
"They don't want Swedes?"
"No, Swedes are fine. As long as their Jewish. Look at this poster." Erik handed her a poster that was lying on his organ. It was a casting call for a new production at the Opera Populaire. "At the bottom it says that they are looking for a Jewish singer."
"What will happen to Carlotta?" Christine asked.
"What do you care? They need Jewish people, and you are not Jewish. You just can't succeed in opera if you aren't a Jew. Think of the singers you know. Aren't most of them Jewish? I tell you, it just may not work out." Erik let out a sigh. "There simply must be Jews in a production, my dear."
6. Put on a Happy Face from Bye Bye Birdie
Raoul rowed Erik's boat away from his house by the lake. They were leaving behind the fears that had loomed in that dreaded place, but Christine still wasn't smiling.
"What is it dear?" he asked in a hushed voice.
"What if he comes back? What if this isn't the end?" Christine replied, looking up at him with worrying sparkling in her eyes.
"Don't worry too much about it now," he told her. "We can't predict our fates, but we can hope that he will stay away from us. For now we can enjoy peace from him. So just smile." He smiled at her, trying to set an example.
7. Together Again from Young Frankenstein
Andre and Firmin shook hands with each other, their large grins stretching across their face. They had worked together in the scrap metal business, so why couldn't they run an Opera house? It was much more exciting. Of course, there was that damn ghost to worry about, but wasn't that just a rumor? They were going to enjoy their time here, working to create a model opera house. They were together again, all set and ready to run this race.
8. Without You from My Fair Lady
Christine stared at Erik with tears leaking from her eyes. How could he do this to her? The man who swore that he loved her was forcing her to make such an awful decision! Would she chose him to let Raoul go free, or would she opt to go free at Raoul's expense?
She tried to think of a loophole, but none came to mind. She didn't want Erik, and didn't need him anymore. Not if he was doing this to her! But there was no way out as far as she could see.
9. Sincere from The Music Man
She was so beautiful. The girl of every man's dreams. The woman who any fellow would give their life for. She was the girl that never left Raoul's mind, and he knew he was blessed to have her in his life. A girl so sincere, so beautiful, so talented, and so sweet was a treasure he was lucky to receive.
10. I Hope I Get It
"Step, beat, beat, kick, beat, touch!" Madame Giry called out to the ballerinas on stage. All of them looked nervous and frightened. She couldn't blame them, though. She had always been terrified of auditions as well.
She watched them with careful eyes. Some, especially Christine, seemed to have natural talent and would absolutely be in this opera. Others seemed okay, while others just seemed awful. It was only common knowledge that they wanted this job badly. Most of them even needed it just to support themselves, but she knew she would be forced to crush many dreams this afternoon.
