The Phantom of the Opera in London, England
December 30th, 2008 by monnibo | Music, Out & About, Personal, Travel
The stage play was absolutely amazing! It was at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London, which was a small, intimate theatre with 2 balconies and the floor. Our seats were fantastic; we were on the floor, row F, dead centre. The power of the orchestra was amazing and probably my favourite part. It took me a minute to realize that it wasn’t a recording, it was just that grand. The stage direction was also amazing, the different bits and parts that moved and changed were outstanding.
I want to talk about the voices, the acting, the characters and how they were portrayed, and the stage movements… but I’m running out of adjectives! It appears my favourite adjective is “amazing”. I don’t know how to explain it but just to say that seeing a play live that I already love the songs and story of is just so fantastic.
Thank you CW! Amazing Christmas gift. Love you!

How wonderful that you were able to have such nice seats! You didn’t mention what you thought about how they do the bit with the chandelier. Do tell.

I’ve seen Phantom a couple times on Broadway in NYC and can’t wait until my girls are old enough to bring them! Glad you enjoyed it.

The music of Phantom is so powerful! Can you believe I saw Phantom once in Vancouver years and years ago? And then again in London when we lived there. I really got spoiled when we lived in England, getting to watch musicals and plays fairly regularly. Definitely one of the things I miss.

You look gorgeous! And I’m glad that you loved the stage version! It is one of my all-time favorite musicals. Amazing is a great adjective. Craig is a cutie.
