Beautiful production. Spectacular stage set and design . Costumes elaborate. Music powerful dramatic sweet as is the scores brilliance. The Phantom in this production truly captures the character for me. Seductive alluring captivating you can feel the possession and are drawn into his desire. Christine is remarkable as she is pulled unable to resist into his lure. But she sees more and beyond his disfigurement ultimately falling in love with his soul. There's a depth to tragedy you feel you want the Phantom and Christine to be together yet the reverie must break. Audience.. lull about in seduction betrayal fear desire power rage jealousy love.. its all there for you. Go to become lost in its beauty and fantasy. The phantom will stay with you forever.

Disturbing. Left me feeling like I was dragged into the Insanity of Arthur. Tragic. Dark. Thought provoking. The musical was annoying but serves the purpose or pulling you into the sick world of delusion that is between Arthur and Harley Quinn. You want to resist but you cant. We all wear masks that serve a purpose. Here the Joker is an icon for fanaticism, escapism , idolatry, perversion. For Arthur to escape the cruelty or his world splits him into thats which he avoids and channels his rage which he abhors. Joker is the ultimate villan and victim (mask on mask off) who's hope is snuffed at every turn. Phoenix is brilliant weaving Arthur's downhill pathetic spiral til his demise which evokes the gut reaction of voyeurism of that which is shameful. See it at your peril. And I recommend you do. The shared madness is with you... the audience. Brilliantly done.. and "that's entertainment "
