The Phantom of the Opera

Pros: Wonderful, moving, stunning, thrilling, and everything that you'd feel on a rollercoaster
Cons: Price of the tickets to get to see it

I have to say that I have a very broad background of music, including things like opera, 50-60's rock, heavy metal, some country, and yes even blues, rap(not so much so), new age, etc, etc, etc.

When this show came to my town, I knew that I...

Pros: beautiful music, romantic plot, classic story
Cons: none that I know of

Out of all the shows I have seen and done, and having been in professional theatre for more than 10 years as a technician, this has been my favorite. I have seen it several times, and would give my eyeteeth to do it. Adapted from the classic novel,...

Pros: music
Cons: bad seats could be a problem

I went to see Phantom twice in New York. At first I didn’t really want to go. My girlfriend who was trying to introduce me to the theater, convinced me to go on a bus day trip to NY to see it. So I went because, well she’s my friend and what the heck,...

Pros: atmosphere
Cons: boring

Here's the deal. I have been waiting ten years to see this musical legend, but when I watch this show with my $100.00 ticket sitting front row center, I find myself drifting away. It became so boring that I had to leave during intermission, and I...

Pros: Wonderful!
Cons: Ticket prices can get a bit high

I loved The Phantom of the Opera before I ever saw it...a friend had given me a copy of the soundtrack when I was 17 years old and I played it half to death. As I listened to these words, I wondered what took place in the production with each sung...

Pros: A fabulous experience
Cons: More expensive than a good movie

I absolutly loved the Broadway shows in New York City, they were just fabulous. They provided us with some wonderful entertainment. We went to the Broadway shows with about twenty-two people and We had no complaints about any of the shows. The Phantom of...

Pros: Everything about it
Cons: My seats were a little pricey! :-)

My first play ever was The Phantom of the Opera. I saw it on Broadway in NYC and I still can't forget it. It was the day after a huge snow storm and some large flakes were still falling as we waited in the vestibule for them to begin seating us. From...

Pros: An exciting love story
Cons: It is in New York City

Recently our yearbook staff took an trip to New York City. While on vacation there we had the opportunity to enjoy two Broadway Musicals. One of those was the Phantom of The Opera. This was the first time that I had the opportunity to view a Broadway...

Pros: Emotional and Wonderful
Cons: not recommended for little kids

Ahhh, to be in Hamburg in 1994. When the weather was slightly warm. And I could find American foods that my host parents had never tried before. At night, it was chilly, but there was a purpose for our being there.

Two friends hop a bus for...

Pros: Wonderful Music and story line
Cons: none

The Phantom of the Opera is one of the most famous plays ever written. It combines a wonderful story line with the magic of Andrew Lloyd Weber's music to produce a truly unforgettable experience. This play is wonderful to see anywhere but is best viewed...

Pros: Good first show, great music, cool special effects
Cons: bad second time around, quality of performance depends of quality of actor playing phantom

The first time I saw Phantom, I was amazed. The second time, not so much. The music is pretty amazing. Andrew Lloyd Webber has always been a great song writer. The story is interesting. The first time you see this show, you will be amazed at the...

Pros: The atmosphere of NYC Broadway style
Cons: The overpriced restaurants in the area

I saw Phantom in June of 98. It was incredible. I treated my mom for her birthday. This show was absolutely breathtaking. The minute it started and the chandelier went up it immediately brought tears to my eyes. I was simply in awe over the...

Pros: The sets and scenes are extremely creative. They are designed to become interactive with the audience.
Cons: The Phantom becomes a little hopeless in the end, I feel it would benefit the play if he remained a bit more stronger person.

The Phantom of the Opera was a fantastic production. The opening scene was extremely breath taking and totally unexpected. As the light fixture swings from the stage into the audience it gives you a three dimensional effect allowing the audience to...

Pros: spectacular effects and music
Cons: ticket prices fairly expensive

Settling into a comfortable seat, only six rows from the stage, in the Pantages Theatre, the lights dim and I wait in anticipation. The curtain pulls back and the show begins.... with an auction. Going once.. going twice.. going three times... I am...

Pros: a classic, worth seeing at least once.
Cons: not for a quickie

Ok, I'm getting soft. My girlfriend has slowly exposed me to a little culture. Phantom was my first show. (At Pantages Theater in Toronto) And I was impressed. It is complex for a beginner. There are a lot of songs that can be difficult to follow if...
