I have not seen Phantom live ever till recently. It is one of those iconic musicals that has been out for ages that everybody has heard about but yet I have only seen it recently at the Pantages Theater.
It did not disappoint. The music was just as iconic hearing it live. The production and stage effects were fantastic. I was especially floored seeing the scene where the Phantom and Christine descended into the dungeon and rode the canoe over the underground river. The actors did a superb job acting and singing. Even the understudies that played the roles of the Phantom and Christine Daae. I am not sure if I would have preferred seeing the actual actors on the lead roles. I figured there was nothing I could do about it so I did not let it bother me further. Act 1 was definitely more entertaining. The songs in Act 2 were slower and a tad bit boring at some point. But still I was entertained.
I am glad I can now say I have seen The Phantom of the Opera in theater live! Next stop, Les Miserables.
