Phantom of the Opera : 4 of 5
2.17.2004

Whenever my parents visit, I always hope the timing will work out so we can enjoy a large production of some kind together, so I was so happy that Phantom of the Opera was playing this month! I first saw the show several years ago in Tulsa, but my seat was simply terrible, so I had never really experienced the show. This was a great performance - all of the actors were incredible singers, and really knew how to get the emotions going (Mom was teary-eyed during the final moments, and I was, too). I was able to really enjoy the music, not only the cool pretend operas in the show, but also the hook-filled dramatic numbers (which unfortunately stick in your head like glue!). I was much more interested in the story as well, eager to discover the Phantom's real story. The sets, costumes, and effects were incredible, as you would expect for a Broadway touring company - besides the falling chandelier, my favorite effect was how things would transform to "backstage" so quickly. Even though it's a pretty old show now, it's still a fantastic experience!
