I will admit Im a Phantom of the Opera fan. Having seen it at the Orpheum in SF my bars were set high already. Our party did love the special effects and the theater. The chandelier is AMAZING!!! The costumes are amazing as well.
One major drawback is the lack of dialogue.
I thought the collaboration with Webber would help add a more fluid and concise explanation between each act segue. For a person who has never seen the show there are moments where you feel lost. One being in the begining where the set goes back in time and another beinf where Christine goes to her fathers grave.
In all I liked it, but I did not LOVE it. I would gladly sit through the 2.5 hours for a full story, Im just not so sure the Vegas crowd is.
