What is the worst Version of POTO u have seen and why?

Really? I haven't heard about this is it really bad?

Well… basically, u have the original ALW musical, only, the characterizations are changed. Every redeeming quality the Phantom had is shoved away: in the first unmasking, Christine wakes up, and pats him on the shoulder instead of unmasking him. The thing is, he’s busy washing his face, and he becomes all violent and grabs her door the hair while, sheesh, it isn’t her fault. And furthermore, in the Final Lair, there’s a part where he gets so pissed off he actually seizes her and flings her on his bed in a way it reminds me way too much of sexual assault. Christine is really passive and weak-willed, and the way she antwoorden to the Phantom’s abuse is… kissing him and being seemingly sad of leaving him? Well, unless she pities him meer than anything else, but hey, I hope it’s the case, because it just looks like romanticizing violence and abuse to me. Raoul is a total douche, so is Meg at times, in a way it looks like they’re trying to build bridges with Love Never Dies. And I’m supposed to believe in this context Christine goes back to a man who was violent and abusive with her to sleep with him? Plus, the staging can pretty weird: I mean, in muziek of the Night, u have the Phantom blindfolding Christine during “close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams” which reminds me of something else and leaves me uneasy, and then, during “Floating, falling, sweet intoxication”, he starts waltzing with her Titanic style, which could be actually sort of nice if in the end, he didn’t just let Christine randomly flop on the ground. Fail. Furthermore, the costumes are pretty floppy and sad and Christine is there doing loads of headache acting to the point u wonder if they really wanted to toon that she does have some mental illness, though the US tour got better since the UK tour who got the same staging.

Wow they make Erik seem like a sexually abusive man I know he is not meant to be a saint but yeah not very nice for some reason it sounds like 50 shades of grey phantom style and I don't like 50 shades of grey

I know, right? I mean, no, I'm not that person who'll be there excusing everything Erik did, but still, there's a to everything.

Yeah I find it creepy but can see where your coming from I really don't understand why they decided for him to not be disfigured and be raised door rats which is also another creepy thing about it

DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED! OH MY GOD THAT ONE WAS HORRIBLE!!!

what??? HOW??? That's like THE version, seconde only to the ORIGINAL BOOK

Yes I seen that version Julian sands played the phantom in that I don't know why he made him psychic let alone raised door rats also he wasn't even disfigured in the movie.
