I can’t imagine a more magical way to discover this movie than on a rainy London evening, after a night out that culminated in the live production of The Phantom of the Opera at the historic Her Majesty’s Theatre.

Despite the company’s aura of prestige (the kind that makes “pencil-and-paper” creatives roll their eyes), Pantone’s announcement always pulls me in. I crave that piece of it—last year it was […]
