Growing up, I had a bit of classical vocal and piano training... and became obsessed with
Phantom... and for as long as I can remember I have wanted to see a real performance! I knew the soundtrack so well, and when I'd listen to it I would imagine what it must look like on stage.
My mom and I went to see it a few days ago... and it was, in a word,
FABULOUS. I loved it, and cried so much throughout the whole thing. It was better than I dreamed it would be. Beautiful and lush costumes, music, and sets. Talented singers, and *wow* effects.
As a side note to someone who posted earlier, I wanted to say that even from the beginning of the movie I thought that the older woman in the auction with Raoul must've been Meg Giry... I figured that Mme was probably long dead by then since Meg and Christine were around the same age. (And I didn't know that Raoul was supposed to be 46, I figured he was only a few years older than Christine). I've never read the book or seen the musical in person though.
Since all the flashbacks in the movie come from Raoul, do yall feel like this is actually his memories and his story?
Any Webber/POTO fans will love it! Go see it now
