Phantom Of The Opera Reviews

THIS PHANTOM WAS DIFFERENT THAN PAST SHOWS I'VE SEEN.5/8/14

May 8 2014- Just got home from seeing the Phantom of the opera in Cincinnati , It was a very good show but very different than the past shows I have seen of Broadway's Phantom. Not sure if I liked it as well. It was a good production no doubt. Singing was good but I have been to many performances and they have been phenomenal so I was a bit let down by this show. I have seen better broadway productions of the phantom of the opera so tonights show was a bit disappointing to me maybe because I've seen other phantom shows that were better than tonight's . I did love the piano and fire scene that was different and I liked it and I liked the flames on stage too that was cool! I would recommend seeing it though, the music was terrific. The set was good but very different than any other show I've seen. The costumes were good but again better in past productions. Still if you can go see it it's worth it . I recommend it.

PHANTOM = AMAZING

This show was AMAZING. It was the first time I saw it live and I would see it again and again. It is my dream to be in the pit for a musical like that! I hope I get the chance to do that some day.

A DISGRACEFUL INTERPRETATION OF THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

This show was absolutely dreadful. From the staging to the choreography to the acting to the singing. The Phantom of the Opera has been one of my favorite productions since I was a child. This past experience left a bad taste in my mouth. If I hadn't known every line of the show, I would not know what the actors were saying half the time. The phantom himself was quite a disappointment. He did not have the voice to play that role. And as for the staging...the chandellier is supposed to be on the stage at the start of the show. The dramatics of that is what really starts the show. Also, the staircase was missing in "masquerade". It felt as though the production was trying to be "budget friendly" and cut out some things that really provide an impact on the audience. It was just all around awful and I would definitely not recommend seeing it. If I could get my money back I would.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS

This production of Phantom is the best of the 4 productions we have seen including NY. What set it apart?? The creative, amazing set designs, the clear, strong voices and acting with intent, the costume detail and the beautiful lovingly presented music "of the night" by the orchestra...this was a phenomenol experience for us and the totality of it was exceptionally moving. We so greatly appreciate the quality of acting and marvel at how the actors can do such an intense, whole-hearted job night after night. We thank everyone involved for a wonderful experience which will resonate in us for a very long time. Bravo!!!

FABULOUS !!!

Bravo! Bravo! All of the actors, the voices, the sets, the production - all fabulously done - want to go and see it again!! Equal goosebumps when I saw it with Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford in 1986.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS

I originally saw this show on Broadway a few years ago and was deeply affected (and I am a stoic guy). But this show exceeded all expectations : not only was the production far more creative and colorful, there was a certain sense of humor at times. Also, the show seemed a little shorter and therefore tighter. However, by far and away, the transcendent performances of the "Beauty" and Phantom were stunning. The Phantom evoked the sense of pain/ angst we all feel at some point in our lives, made all the more poignant by the remarkable Beauty, who radiated the beautiful and necessary elements of innocence, yet more, a truly idyllic female with which to contrast the Phantom's fate. And of course their voices were magnificent, full of energy and emotions. A must experience.
