LOT # 665: Figure of a monkey in persian robes playing the symbols

SOLD for 30 franks to the Vicomte de Chagney!  "A collector's piece indeed.  Every detail exactly as she said.  Will you still play when all the rest of us are dead?"  Phantom of the Opera

The Broadway Musical, Phantom of the Opera is our favorite show for many reasons.  It was the first play Tad took me to see.  Since then we have traveled to many places to see it; Canada, Texas, Las Vegas and Nashville are the first to come to mind.

Tad makes every trip magical.  We were just dating when we flew to Canada to see it.  It was a formal event  because it was the last showing at the Pantages Theatre and Paul Stanley of KISS played the Phantom.  Tad surprised me with a beautiful red velvet dress and made me feel like Cinderella.  The next time we saw it was in San Antonio, Texas.  It was a complete surprise to me.  Tad sent daily hints  before we left, one of them was a single yellow rose.  When we arrived in San Antonio, Tad surprised me with tickets to see The Phantom of the Opera.  While eating dinner after the show, Tad proposed.  I carried yellow and red roses in our wedding to commemorate that evening.
