And yes, when the curtain came off the chandelier and it rose up to the overture, I had goosebumps. It was a great moment to have again, really. (Even if it coming down at the end of Act I wasn't as exciting. Have Jerry Bruckheimer movies ruined us?)<br /><br />Jesse<br />www.Stage-Rush.comJesse Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728251200890721917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31471786.post-431197571381778142010-01-25T11:19:25.686-05:002010-01-25T11:19:25.686-05:00I'm not a huge Phantom fan, but I do really li...I'm not a huge Phantom fan, but I do really like a lot of ALW shows--I was obsessed with CATS and JCS before I knew what theatre was--so I always love reading favorable opinions about his work. People can have their own opinions about the quality of his shows, but any show that runs for over a decade HAS to reach a lot of people in a pretty deep way, even if a lot of hardcore theatre fans (myself included) don't understand why.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406524752087874702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31471786.post-86715935960216688062010-01-24T14:38:15.885-05:002010-01-24T14:38:15.885-05:00Spencer, I'm very curious about the Vegas vers...Spencer, I'm very curious about the Vegas version--what did they cut out?<br /><br />Esther, I definitely think you should see Phantom at some point. I think you'll be glad you saw it, even if you don't end up loving it. Maybe you can wait until Love Never Dies comes out and make it a double feature.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341231489185317489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31471786.post-76153236424615100702010-01-23T16:07:00.963-05:002010-01-23T16:07:00.963-05:00I've never seen Phantom of the Opera anywhere ...I've never seen Phantom of the Opera anywhere but I will at some point so I can realize my goal of seeing a show in every Broadway theater.

I'm seeing it again in Vegas next month and I can't wait!<br /><br />The Vegas version is so absolutely fantastic! It's shortened and full of spectacle. So great!<br /><br />Great reading your review.Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336071810431292948noreply@blogger.com
