By far one of my favorite musicals of all time. Emmy Rossum, Gerard Butler, and Patrick Wilson are incredible in this and their voices are absolutely breathtaking. Butler has a voice that eludes the darkness and pain the Phantom is supposed to hold. Rossum has a one in a million voice and is so talented. Not only that but the three of their voices complement one another's and and work so well together. I’m not sure why the critics give it so much hate. This movie adaptation of this play is incredible. The set is gorgeous and the rest of the songs are so well done.
