Went to see Phantom of the Opera today, it was amazing, good friendly staff, easy to talk to, amazing work. The singing was phenomenal and despite the phantom being the sympathetic villain of the story you know everyone loves him the most. Excellent use of the stage for the scenes and parts of humor ugh I just can't tell you how much better it is to go see it in person, and the pyrotechnic moment ...

The Phantom of the Opera in London is a straight-up masterpiece. Vocals, acting, and the orchestra all hit hard, and the production looks stunning from scene to scene. The iconic moments still give chills, and the whole show feels timeless. If you want a theatre experience that actually lives up to the hype, this is the one.

The worst things were they turned on the light around grand circle area and staffs let audiences get in and out while performing. So I recommend to pay more to get the better seat and a...

Every actor and actress was stunning and e...
