AN: Phantom meets Les Mis. I'll try to tell it mostly by parodying lyrics from both shows, and perhaps some others. I'll be honest though, I'm much more familiar with Les Mis. Lots of references to other parts of the stories, and some good jokes at Marius's expense. Picks up when Marius enters the wine shop. Enjoy.
Les Amis de l'Opera
Chapter 1: To the Opera?
Enjoras: Marius, you're late.
Joly: What's wrong today?
You look as if you've seen a ghost.
Grantaire: Some wine and say what's going on!
Marius: A ghost you say... a ghost maybe
She was just like a ghost to me
One minute there, and she was gone!
Grantaire: I am agog, I am aghast
Is Marius in love at last?
I've never heard him ooh' and aah'
You talk of battles to be won
And here he comes like Don Ju-an
It's better than an o-per-a!
Enjolras: It is time for us all
To decide who we are
Should we go while we can
To a night at the opera now?
Have you asked of yourselves
What's the price you might pay?
Not that it's any problem
For us rich young boys to pay
But the prices of the shows
Are changing day by day...
All: Red - the blood we'll spill tomorrow!
Black - the night that's falling fast!
Red – the curtain at the show!
Black - the opera that's our last!
Marius: If we go there tonight
We must all watch our backs
You don't want to be stabbed
The day before the attack!
If we go there tonight
You also should know
There's a phantom hiding in the operahouse
I don't want to be killed, you know
All but Marius (teasing): Red – the blood of angry phantoms
Black – the dark of his secret lair
Red – the blood of his victims
Black – can it be Marius is scared?
Enjolras: Marius, you're no longer a child
But I do not doubt you're scared as hell
And we're gonna miss the curtain call
Who cares about your coward's soul
We're gonna drag you to the show
In this group your opinion doesn't count at all!
To the operahouse!
AN: That's all for now. I don't have anything against Marius, but his parts just worked so well for the taunting. RR.
