| - Having seen the original, this was a nice abridged version. Being a "phan" I love all things Phantom. I listen to the original score and sing along on the way to work. Yadda, yadda, yadda. So, hubby and I find ourselves in Vegas and he's never seen Phantom of the Opera. While it wasn't THE Phantom of the Opera, it was something I thought he might enjoy, as would I. And we did!
The theater was beautiful and the scenery and costumes were fantastic. The singing was top notch. Everything was so awesome that I couldn't believe how cheap the tickets were. And on top of that, when we were being seated, they told us that they hadn't sold enough seats downstairs so we were being upgraded. We ended up third row center! That was great to see the stage, but it was a bit difficult for the grand chandelier unveiling.
Everything was wonderful except for the drunk whore that sat behind us that kept talking non-stop to the male she was with. (I don't want to say boyfriend or husband because I want to give the chap the benefit of the doubt.) It wouldn't have been bad if she didn't sound like such an idiot. And she mentioned to the dude, like 3x, "Ummmm... did you turn your phone off?" And he said yes each time. And in between that we had to hear about how drunk she was and how she'd rather be gambling, etc. Then in the middle of the show, guess whose phone goes off? Yup! Drunk whore's! I think the fact everyone around her stared her down, sobered her up a bit.
If you have never seen PTO, this is a good way to get your feet wet.
