"The Phantom of the Opera" 25th Anniversary Concert

I had the immense pleasure of getting to see the Anniversary concert for The Phantom of the Opera live fom the Royal Albert Hall on a local cinema screen. Being unable to attend the show in person, it was the next best thing. And I am really glad that I went.


From start to finish it is a delight to watch. Like just about everyone in the civilised world, I am well versed with the story. I have seen various productions over the years using the storyline, or variations there of. And this has to rank as the best. The sets were great, the costumes are all to die for, the performances from all the cast are outstanding, and those wonderful songs are so haunting. It is so easy to see why the show remains so popular.

Being an Anniversary concert, there were some extra surprises at the end, seeing four previous Phantoms together on stage. Also seeing Sarah Brightman, and also hearing her perform, and best of all was seeing Michael Crawford on stage, very clearly moved by the production and the anniversary.

A great evening out......9 out of 10
