Cari and Emily sit down to discuss the surprisingly popular high school musical, Phantom of the Opera. How did a de facto opera become so popular with teenagers, and what does that popularity have to do with the modern wave of teen musicals? 

They'll be breaking down the musical theater British invasion, investigate whether Andrew Lloyd Weber and Cameron Mackintosh ever hooked up, and tell you all about how Bonnie Tyler nearly ruined Phantom before it was even written.
