| - A great production and an even more amazing set. I'll avoid all the nitty-gritty details since everyone else has written a very thorough review.
It was explained to me that the theater was built specifically for this show, which makes sense for why it just works so well! With that in mind, they could focus on specific details, extra mechanics, etc... just for the show, and it definitely makes a difference.
The seats... I sat in row three, but I wished I sat a few rows back. With all those "extra" details in mind, a lot of action can happen around the theater that I couldn't always focus on. Being a few more rows back would have assisted.
The show... 90 minutes, a compact and action packed show. It did feel rushed in some areas, but it's still very good. A quick critique of the performers, they were all amazing, but I did feel that the Phantom's voice was a bit weaker than I would have expected. I don't know if it was an off day (or I should check if it was an under study), but it was just a bit below expectations in this one area.
Overall... go see it if you can, it's an experience worth paying for.
