This caused just as much as the actual Broadway show, but is a horrible abridged version.
I think they made the show 90 minutes so that the drunks who are sobering up will be out of the show before they realize how bad it is. To start of with some great things: The theater is gorgeous, and the seats are very comfortable. However, once the music starts.. then it's all down fall. The performers voices are so soft that their singing was barely audible. The acoustic is absolutely horrible. If they are going to spend so much money decorating and making the theater amazing, they should have taken the time to at least make the acoustic decent. The plot was not only boring, but also choppy and rushed. All the shocking emotions and adrenaline came from the special effects (and they also helped me stay awake). I was so glad to get out and start feeding on my cocktails to help me forget how I decided to spend all that money watching Phanton Wanna-Be instead of gambling and partying.
I think staying at home watching the phantom movie with a surround sound system might be 1000x better than going to this show.
