Phantom of the Opera

Ever since this production began playing in Toronto, it has been one of my biggest desires to see it. One of the "must-do" things on my list in life to accomplish - and I was finally able to check it off the list on Saturday! And I was not disappointed in the least - the show was AMAZING!!




The music was soul-wrenching. The characters and singing were brilliant and beautiful. The cosmetics of each scene were superb and each costume exquisitely designed.



I went with my grandmother and aunt, and about 60 other 70-year old people, (it was a senior citizens trip that our local VFW hosts). We sat up in the nose bleed seats, but in the Crouse-Hinds Theater, it doesn't matter where you sit. The theater is situated so that everyone can see the stage perfectly. I cannot stress how wonderful this show was and how everyone should experience this. The play really filters through to your soul as you are watching it.


The pictures I have posted are not of the cast of the play I saw - but pictures that are free on the Phantom of the Opera website. Unfortunately, we were not able to take pictures during the show. But the costumes are identical.

So take it from me, you have to see this play. It will touch your heart.
