I took a bus from Vermont to Boston to see Phantom this past weekend. I have the CD and DVD and had seen the 25th anniversary production from London several times but it was my first time at a live production of it. To me it was the best show ever. I felt chills during some of the songs in the first act and tears were flowing during "Music of the Night." During the second act I sipped my champagne and decided it was my best day ever.

i loved it i went to this play on a schol trip and i thougth it was amazing wi ant to see it agian!

Phantom of the Opera at Denver’s Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre was nothing short of spectacular. From the first note to the final fall of the curtain, the performance was absolutely breathtaking. Isaiah Bailey, as the Phantom, delivered a rich, raw performance that moved me to tears. Alexa Moster’s pure, crystal-clear tone paired beautifully with both Bailey and Daniel Lopez, whose smooth, sultry presence as Raoul brought depth and undeniable charm to the production. Midori Marsh proved that even at altitude, extraordinary breath control and a commanding operatic performance can leave an audience in awe. I was so overwhelmed by this production that it took me over an hour to process my thoughts enough to share them without becoming emotional. It is rare to experience a cast so powerful that they can move an audience to silence, tears, and complete breathlessness. Because of Isaiah Bailey’s performance as the Phantom… I am officially Team Phantom for life. Sorry, Raoul—I’m Team OG.

The show was amazing and couldn’t have been better. From the cast, the music, the sets, and performances, it was everything my 16 year old daughter dreamed it would be. Even braving subzero temps it was so worth the money and the watch. I would gladly see again with this wonderfully awesome cast.

Phantom of the Opera is a magnificent show with the theatre full, the two times I saw it on Broadway. How in heavens name was it cancelled. Too expensive to produce you say. Balderdash, if the show was always booked solid then the price structure could have been revised. Fools always ruin a good thing.

If you only see one Broadway show in your life, make it Phantom of the Opera. I’ve seen 47 Broadway shows and enjoyed all of them but this was by far the best ever.
