In particular, there was one dark-haired guy wearing a wife-beater, revealing the torso of a Greek God. Rebecca and her friends nodded to the crowd and got a few brief waves in response, but also a few nasty scowls. Rebecca wasn’t sure if it was for their benefit or simply because of Fernando’s over exuberance. Jekyll and his fiancée Emma.”Īlready a few people huffed and rolled their eyes.
They will, of course, be playing the lead roles of Dr. “Hello, everyone!” Fernando began, “I’m so excited to finally introduce you all to Justyn and Rebecca, the future Broadway stars I told you about. The flickering lights above the stage only made their faces look more sinister. She wasn’t sure why, but she had the distinct feeling more than one of her future co-workers were giving her the once-over, and their expressions definitely weren’t friendly. Fernando set about making the introductions while Rebecca shuffled her feet from side to side and fiddled with the ammonite necklace Justyn had given her. In fact, it was the first time they were meeting the cast at all.
They had their parts down cold, but this was the first time they’d be practicing with the rest of the troupe. Justyn had even grown his hair out for the dual role of Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde. The parts had already been assigned, and Justyn and Rebecca had spent most of the spring trying to memorize their lines in between Phantom performances and studying for finals. Only when the mask is stripped away, will the twenty first century phantom finally be revealed.They found the rest of the Hyde cast waiting beside the stage. Is Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca doesn’t know who to trust, but she knows she’s running out of time as she gets closer and closer to opening night. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her character, she is torn between her two co-stars-Tom the surfer and basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist.Īlmost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on and off the stage. When her high school drama club chooses “Phantom” as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker who uses the lines from the play as their calling card. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play that was her obsession. The “Phantom” was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found enchanting.
