As professional as ever. It was spell binding and thrilled not just us but all of the audience. If you've not seen it or not seen it for a long while, do so!

Saw this show as a young adult and how wonderful to return on the 25th Anniversary Season with my own Teen. Quality of the Actors' Performances and Theatrics still captivating. Highly recommend for a family.

I saw the original cast on Broadway and the casts were saw were excellent. Bought tickets for Tues. night and ran to the box office at intermission to get tickets for Friday. The Raoul, Kyle Barisich, had me finally liking that character! I highly recommend seeing this show during it's 25th Anniversary year.

Spectacular voices and incredible staging, what is there not to love about Phantom? I live locally but I have seen this at least 10 times since I am always dragging out of town family and friends there. May it run forever!

BEST. MUSICAL. EVER. And definitely one of the best on Broadway at this point in time. I really hope it never goes away. If it does, I'll prolly abandon all hope in musicals. I've always been in love with the Phantom of the Opera -- saw the movies, read the books; I've even seen this musical about five years ago.... More

We decided to go here on a Sunday (I think) night when most other theatres were dark. I guess I thought that I wasn't that interested because it is SO famous, that you feel you've already experienced it. Not true at all. It is a must-see.

Phantom was good, don't misunderstand me. It was worth the price, and it was well done. But it lacked the heart of some of the newer Broadway musicals. It was as though the cast had been doing this play for so long it had lost its freshness and excitement. The set and effects were excellent, but it lacked heart.

One of our favorite musical and we see it every2-3 years. It's always a perfection. We give it as favorite for who would begin to see a musical... It's never boring and generally Phantom and Christin are perfect.
