Andrew Lloyd Webber, Patrick Wilson, Miranda Richardson - Madame Giry`s Tale / The Fairground

Madame Giry Wait

GIRY
Please, Monsieur, I know no more than anyone else

RAOUL
That's not true

GIRY uneasily
Monsieur, don't ask There have been too many accidents

RAOUL
Accidents

Please, Madame Giry, for all our sakes

GIRY
Very well It was years ago
There was a traveling fair in the city gypsies
I was very young, studying to be a ballerina
One of many, living in the dormitories of the opera house

WOMAN
See the wonder from the East

CRUEL MAN
Come Come Come inside Come and see the Devil's Child

Man
Murder Murder

Policeman
Which way

Man
That way

GIRY
I hid him from the world and its cruelties
He has known nothing else of life since then, except this opera house
It was his playground and, now, his artistic domain
He's a genius He's an architect and designer
He's a composer and a magician A genius, Monsieur

RAOUL
Clearly, Madame Giry, genius has turned to madness
