So I just saw the movie version today and I LOVED it.
Now I have seen the stage play like six times, so I knew that it would be different. What I loved though is that it kept to the stage play. Same sets (just grander for a movie), same feel and everything. It was amazing.
The actor who played the Phantom was awesome!!!
I bawled my eyes out (and I do cry during the stage play).
So to those out there who have seen it, what did you think? To those who want to see it GO NOW AND SEE IT.
