The Phantom of the Opera has always held a special place in my heart. I had performed Think of Me as a solo in the past and had also studied Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, so I was already familiar with some of the music. But watching it live on stage with the full set, costumes, orchestra, and cast made everything feel so much more powerful and emotional.
The overture gave me goosebumps. As soon as the organ began, I knew I was in for something unforgettable. The chandelier rising, the dramatic staging, and the haunting voice of the Phantom (Performed by Ben Forster) created such a mysterious and thrilling atmosphere. I was especially captivated and inspired by how Christine (Performed by Grace Roberts) sang with such powerful yet crystal clear tones.
During the intermission: Raising the fallen chandelier. The set was amazing!
One of the most magical parts for me was seeing the transitions between scenes - they were absolutely magical, especially the main theme where the Phantom and Christine traverse bridges to get to the boat.
Curtain Call: The awesome cast of The Phantom of the Opera!
I truly enjoyed the musical, and if I could, I would watch it again and again.
