Who would eat that plot right up? It has won 7 Tonys and 7 Drama Desk Awards, and the original casting of the show was superb. The story is about unrequited love and conquering mysteries, enigmas portrayed by PTO. This show is the longest running Broadway musical of all time at over 11,327 performances. The rest of the show’s plot can be found here.
I love the beginning of this musical, because it goes from drab to fab in a matter of seconds and the overture is so riveting that it just shakes something in your bones.
When I went to see it in the Big Apple, I sat in the mezzanine, and saw the chandelier fly right at me. As it rises, the stage goes back to how it was in 1880, gilded and beautiful. As the chandelier is revealed, the lights turn on and it comes off the stage to fly into the audience. The next lot is 666 and a shattered chandelier with a lot of history with the opera house. The show starts of with an auction of old props, and some elderly man called the Vicomte de Chagny purchases a monkey shaped music box. Sad but true, so here it is: The Least Bastardized Movie Musical made… “The Phantom of the Opera”!!!Įven though this is not my favorite musical of all time, that special place in my heart is saved for Miss Saigon, I do enjoy the theatrics of it all. And now Mein Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs, Ladies and Gentlemen we have reached the end of the semester and the end of this class and therefor, the end of this blog.
