Phantom of the Opry - What I'd Like From You

Scene from the hilarious spoof of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, "The Phantom of the Opry" takes place in modern day Paris, KY. In this scene, young starlet Crystal Dalton begins to fall for former football star Rusty Rasmussen as the Phantom watches from afar. Crystal is played by Monica Niemi, Rusty by Todd Preston, and the Phantom by Michael Crisp. This scene is taken from a Fall 2006 performance.

This scene featured a 12 foot clock tower, an impressive set piece constructed by Todd Preston, who served as set designer (as well as portrayed Rusty).

"What I'd Like From You"

No more goofy ghost talk
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can hurt you
Harm you or pervert you
Let me be your freedom,
Your ticket out of here
You'll find work at Wal Mart
I'll race cars like Dale Earnhardt

Say you love me when I need to hear it
turn my head with talk of Gatlinburg...
Say you need me with you now and always...
Promise me most what you say is true
that's what I'd like from you

We can raise a family,
I'll make your dreams come true
A house out on the highway
And everything done my way
I need a good provider
Someone who's good with kids
who'll promise me forever,
and actually deliver

Then say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
I'll even let you have the remote control
Say you'll clean with me and do the dishes
anywhere you dust, let me dust too
that's what I'd like from you

Say you'll share with me one home, one bathroom...
say the word and I will floss with you...
Promise not to ever leave the seat up
Say you love me (You know I do)...
Love me - that's what I'd like from you

Anywhere you shop let me shop too...
Love me - that's what I'd like from you

(spoken)
I gotta go
they're gonna be lookin' for me.
Come with me, Rusty
Crystal, I love you

Go and get your Mustang
(Camaro) Whatever
And meet me by the door
We'll escape his evil clutches
And everything he touches

I gave you country music
made your song take flight...
and once, I had your gratitude
Now I get this attitude
He was sure to love you
when he heard you sing...Crystal

Say you'll share with me one cold, dark dungeon
Say the word and I will kidnap you
Share each day with me, 24-7
A house, a home, with little Phantoms too
Everything, that's what I'd like from you
