The Phantom of the Opera

...the fact that I'm not really into musicals but got dragged along by the other half. I've been to see Les Mis and wasn't very impressed with that so was a bit sick at the thought of going to see this musical. The one thing that I was taken a back with was the scenery and the production of the whole thing. The boat ride through the candles and the singing on the catwalk was breathtaking. The chandelier when it came crashing down was a bit surprising ...

Review of The Phantom of the Opera

...Loydd Webbers classic Phantom of the Opera Musical, i'm still blown away and would love to go and see it again. If your looking for an outing with the family, with older children, teenagers (as a 3 hour long musical would likely bore a 6 year old) then this is the place to go. I'm only sixteen and went to see the musical with my aunt, all I can say is its outstanding. The scenery, the music, the actors and actresses and the very talented singers. ...

The phantom falls in loves with a young women Christine, who used to be a very shy person. Under the influence of her teacher (the phantom) Christine improves rapidly on her singing and overcomes her stage fears, to become the lead in the new musical held at the theatre. But one person gets stands between the phantom and his dream of happyness ...
