Phantom Of The Opera Reviews

Jennifer McDougall from Toronto, Ontario

THE BEST SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN

I loved this production, and the day i went it was the understudy that played the phantom and I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job. I've never seen sets so grand or large or plentiful. The costumes were magnificent and the songs of course were incredible. As expensive as the tickets were, if this returns to Toronto in a few years, i will absolutely go back. I saw it over a month ago and still think of it and how moving and incredible a production it was. I cannot recommend it enough. I only ever go to the theater alone, so it's usually easy to get one good single seat, was very lucky to get the seat I had in the center of the fourth row, you cannot really get better than that. When that chandelier "broke" and the shards of flexible plastic "glass" was shot out, some landed on my sleeve and I jumped, it was just incredible from start to finish.

TO EACH THEIR OWN!

I, my sister and nieces found the play fantastic. The music, singing, acting and sets were wonderful. Although we were on the 3rd tier front and center we had a great view with no obstruction and did actually hear the performance. The only thing I would suggest is, if you are afraid of heights or have vertigo, do not sit on the very first row of any tier (in the Salt Lake Eccles Theater). The railing is very low and only comes to your knees. It was a bit scary for some members of my family while making their way to their seats. Other than that, I say to each their own, the play was excellent!

PROBS, BUT FABULOUS PHANTOM

The Deseret News hit the nail on the head: the two standout performances were by Quentin Oliver Lee and the stage set. That said, other great performances were given by Carlotta (who actually was the understudy), Raoul, Firmin and Andre. I hate to say this, but I was very disappointed by Christine (Eva Tavares)--she sang very nasally, but her acting was quite good. The ensemble was spot on, giving the audience everything they could ask for, except for having to sing shortened versions of iconic songs as well as use different lyrics (very disconcerting for those of us who know the originals by heart ). I wanted to take my granddaughters, as they love the show as much as I do, and next time I will. I was in the disabled section, which I'm pleased to say was as good a seat as I could have hoped for, and the staff of the Eccles could not have been nicer.

GREAT CAST, TERRIBLE SETTING.

The performers did a marvelous job. Unfortunately the venue was not up to the task of hosting it. The sound system was terrible and made the majority of the productions vocal work unintelligible. While the music of the production was distinct and recognizable, the words being spoken were simultaneously stifled by the terrible sound system and drowned out by a too loud orchestra. All in all this production was great but drug down by the sub-par venue it was hosted at.

SPECTACULAR

This was my first time seeing Phantom of the Opera. It is a spectacular production. The beautifully stark revolving set reflects the alienated isolation of the phantom whose love of the sparkling opera contrasts so powerfully with his dark inner pain. The set decorating is exquisite, the music is thundering and delicate, and the singing sparkles as it resonates with heartfelt depths of emotion,The cast engrosses us in a world whose impact on us doesn't stop when the curtain goes down. Not to be missed as part of a night out you won't soon forget. Thanks to everyone involved in this grand and touching theater experience.

IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE

This new adaptation by Cameron McIntosh is definitely larger than life! I saw the original performance in Toronto as well as a couple of others in its 10 year run. This performance had some different twists, enough to differentiate it from the others and definitely worth seeing. The sets are unbelievable, the costumes are breathtaking. The performers are talented and put their heart and soul into it. What else can I saw. You will walk out feeling elated having experienced something which simply does not happen every day.
