Wow what a great show. I've heard all the Phantom songs before, used to listen to the CD a lot while driving, but had never seen the show. I was pretty blown away. The theater is gorgeous, the special effects are great, the acting and singing are near-broadway quality. I'm usually a broadway show snob - if it isn't on broadway, it usually lacks emotion, but I was really moved by this performance.
Don't sit in the front row - best is near the back of the golden section or whatever it's called. Call and ask for seats directly under or just behind the main chandelier if you want a thrill.
