Review
I had the privilege of seeing The Phantom of the Opera at the Detroit Opera House this past week and it’s difficult to put into words how much I enjoyed it. It is an amazing package of singing, dancing, acting, artistry, gorgeous costumes, awesome special effects, and pyrotechnics. All in all the Phantom was phenomenal! It’s no wonder it’s the longest running show on broadway!
Synopsis
Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de L’Opéra by Gaston Leroux, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command.

I loved loved LOVED the show. I wasn’t surprised by that though 🙂 I had been wanting to see it on Broadway for a long time now. Definitely worth seeing!
Wasn’t the music and singing incredible?! I loved it. I saw it about 10 years ago, and I LOVE the updates they made to the scenery. It was amazing and definitely a must-see!
I’m so glad The Phantom of the Opera is touring. I saw it twice in Toronto about 20 years ago. The music is just fantastic. I’d love to see it again in Detroit!
I LOVE the Phantom. It totally gives me the chills every single time.
I’d love to see it again!
I am a fan of this kind of plays. The Phantom of the Opera is truly a must see for everyone who are into theater arts and musical plays. Love this for real.
I wish I would have seen this! We saw it many years ago at the Masonic Temple and it was fantastic!
It was amazing!! I’d love to see it again.
