Line 1: {{work}}{{heartwarming}} * [[Bittersweet Ending\|The Ending]] - [[The Woobie\|The Phantom]] is kissed for the first time by Christine, and realises he has to let her go, [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy\|so she can be happy]]. * "Christine, I love you." Both times. * And also: {{quote\| Christine: Say you love m--~~<br />~~ Raoul: You know I do. }} ** The whole rooftop scene is one for Raul. At this point he doesn't think the Phantom is real, but seeing Christine so utterly ''broken'' makes him realize that her fear of him is - "All I Ask of You" is all about how he takes that fear seriously and wants her to feel safe again. * The entirety of "All I Ask of You" could count as a [[~~Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)\|~~Heartwarming Moments]], really. * At the end, the Phantom has finally let Christine go, and the mob is descending upon his lair. He plays the monkey musical box and sings a few lines from "Masquerade", before sitting down on his throne, pulling a blanket over him and disappearing forever (or at least until Love Never Dies). A [[Tear Jerker]] of an ending that will have everyone feeling for the Phantom, at least a little. * Right after the Point of No Return was the [[~~Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)\|~~Heartwarming Moments]] for this Tropette when she first saw the stage show. The Phantom is no longer playing games, or pretending to be Christine's Angel, or tempting her - he is actually pleading for Christine's affection. The vulnerability of such a powerful character, as well as how crushing his loneliness was, was in itself nearly a [[Tear Jerker]]. {{quote\| Erik: Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Lead me, save me from my solitude. Say you want me with you, here, beside you. Anywhere you go, let me go too! Christine, that's all I ask of -}} * Meg going looking for Christine after "Think of Me" to congratulate her is simple but sweet, as is the fact that throughout the show she never feels anything but genuine, tender pride towards Christine's success. Of all of the characters in Phantom, Meg retains the most honest, innocent outlook through everything that happens; her first instinct is always to comfort and care for Christine, never of revenge. She's a walking Heartwarming Moment.(This changes, of course, during LND, which is why this troper rejects that reality and substitutes their own.) Who [[Fanon Discontinuity\|DOESN'T reject that reality?]] Line 17: * Crawford was not the only one moved to tears in that moment... ---- :<small>Back to ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]''</small> {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Heartwarming (Theater)~~{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:~~The Phantom of the Opera~~{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:~~Heartwarming~~Multiple Works Need Separate Pages]] {{DEFAULTSORT:Phantom of the Opera, The}} [[Category:Heartwarming (theatre)]]
