[ChloeAnnamarie]

The 5 ppl who disliked this, remember to keep your hand at the level of your eye.

[Voidiria]

[CurvesRsexy08]

[CurvesRsexy08]

I have seen this show four times I grew up to Phantom let Phantom reign for another 20 years

[TheBombay18]

Have to sing a medely of this whole play in chorus, but fell in love with it way before. :)

[andrea36it]

[YusmanSu]

[HPlover37]

This show was amazing. Simply amazing.

[proseafighter]

[nddlj]

I wish I could see it in NY.

I just don't have enough money to go see it :/ ...plus I live in Canada so I'll have to get to New York...

But I WILL see it someday! I have to, like if I don't see it before I die then the world will end!

[personlalafa]

I think there is no shame in having seen this 5 times in my life.. >.> California, Colorado, New York (!!! Broadwayyyyy!!!) (Worth every penny even if Christine kept going sharp and had a wayyyy out of whack vibrato "AaaaaAAAaaaAaaaaaAaAaAaAaAAAA­AaaA"). I am 20, Haven't seen in enough times... I am poor nao though.. D:

[AppleFoxHana]

Was given a free ticket to see this in Vegas <3

[AntiNBBForce]

I will never regret watching this live

[rayeo88]

[TR0Y404]

[SrPantalonesdefuego]

I saw it at the majestic today the 2:00 show <3 my first broadwat ever and it will certainly not be my last

[ihop1988]

just went there last week and it was amazing something everyone in life should see even if it isn't phantom Broadway is just amazing.

[gemmyvy]

vote for POTO on broadway.com for best longest-running musical!

[123melissa1231]

[personlalafa]

@123melissa1231 About 2 1/2 hours... I think?

[volgg]

I saw that, and OMG it's sooooo epic!

[mangosrock908]

@volgg same

[RikkiSchifferEspada4]

i ♥ phantom of the opera<3

[TheSuperKawai]

Omoo i just came back from the Opera and They Just Rock !

[thatswhatsheread]

I saw this on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre last year. AMAZING. This is my favorite musical of all time. This show was so amazing, during Masquarde(spelling?), the curtain opened up to the scene and the costumes, and I could hear the HUGE gasps of amazement rippling through the crowd. I found myself gasping too, it was amazing.

[zzAlariczz]

I love this show what an impeccable storyline what beautiful music

[U2fan1234]

this musical was sooo boring. bring a pillow along if you go see it

[SuckyWasabi]

can anyone recall the date,time, and most importantly the cast? i need it for a project, mainly needing Christine, Phantom, Raoul, Carlotta and Madam Giry

[AuditoryEden]

Hugh Panaro is the best Phantom I have ever heard. When I went to see it, I actually started crying during music of the night, because it was the first time I'd heard it sung correctly.

[SweetStarry]

song that they put up first. what's the title? because i could only find that opening song without the singing :(

[SpiderGuy20]

@SweetStarry Same name as the show.

[cdaae3]

@SweetStarry hahahahaha it's the title song. "Phantom of the Opera" from Phantom of the Opera.

[Mandokakoy]

At this time next week I'll be watching these! I can't believe! I'm in Brazil, so for me it's like 12 hours by plane! Dreams come true!

[DoGLoveREmmA]

best show ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

[binary0018]

can someone kindly englighten me WHO's the phantom singing in this video clip?? Ramin Karimloo???

[KelliLynn1000]

@binary0018: In this video? That's Howard Mcgillin, he was the longest running Phantom. Ramin Karimloo was in the London production.

[BwayBoundChristian]

Who're the current Phantom and Christine? Oh, and Raoul!

[KelliLynn1000]

@BwayBoundChristian: The current cast is: Hugh Panaro as The Phantom, Sarah Jean Ford as Christine, and Sean MacLaughlin as Raoul.

[BwayBoundChristian]

@KelliLynn1000 Thanks so much!

[FadingHope666]

@KelliLynn1000: I saw the show on Wednesday with this cast. It was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! My sister and I are going to see it again!! I can't wait!

[Kaigosomeh]

I'm going to see this on the 28th, can't wait!

[6001091]

I saw this in Los Angeles. I oved it!!!!!

[cartergirl3of3]

I live in NY, I just went to see it earlier tonight it was AMAZING!!!! loved it

[flyersphan94]

I saw it in August with John Cudia and Jennifer Hope Wills. They were fabulous! I want to see it again as soon as possible!

[mes618x93]

I saw it in NYC in April! It was amazing!

[phantom4evr101]

JOHN CUDIA!!!!!! i never got to see him as the phantom =*( and now he is gone

[6001091]

I saw this in Los Angeles. It was spectacular!

[111zachary1]

I'm about to see this



[thereisnophantom]

i've seen this seven times. LOVEE!

[phanofmusic626]

Unfortunately - and I don't mean to disappoint anyone (very sorry) but someone told me that Love Never Dies is not coming to Broadway in NY anymore because it did not reach a high enough satisfactory level in London. I'm hoping that will change because I was very sad to hear that!!! =(

[MariekeKirkland]

@phanofmusic626 Hi, it's going to Toronto and Australia with two different creative teams, and the best version will go to New York, Webber told last week in an interview. There had been differences between Webber and the London director.

So you just need to wait a little longer. :-)

[RichieEastside]

@phanofmusic626 Whoever told you that is wrong. Love Never Dies is slated for a Broadway opening within the next two years. The show has been doing very well in London, the soundtrack album debuted at #10 on the British charts. The critics have hated it, but the seats have been full and the public seems to be enjoying it. There's absolutely no way they would skip Broadway with this production, don't worry =)

[phanofmusic626]

@RichieEastside Oh. Ok. Good to know... I'll have to talk with the person who told me haha. Cool you know all this stuff. I'm not that updated with my own researches as you can see. =0

[RichieEastside]

@phanofmusic626 Just hit up broadway (dot) com and they have pretty much all the insider info ;) Don't take their reviews seriously though, they'll pretty much give a gold star to anybody just so they can get interviews and pics and stuff. There's tons of blogs and stuff though that have up to the second bway gossip and rumor millage xD

[scorpioninpink]

.,anyone knows when will "Love Never Dies" and "The Sister Act" be premiere on broadway???

[UltimaFenrirSora]

@scorpioninpink

Don't know about The Sister Act, but Love Never Dies is scheduled to come to Broadway in Spring of 2011.

[71crm]

Saw it last Thursday....IT WAS PHAN-TASTIC!!! :)

[1AdrianR]

@71crm I am going to see it soon and was wondering how fast the chandelier fell in New York?

[71crm]

@1AdrianR I don't know, but my mom, who saw it before said that it was rather anti-clamatic

[1AdrianR]

@71crm Oh well...thanks for the reply!

[71crm]

@1AdrianR I hope you enjoyed it....I know I did, in fact, it gave me the inspiration to make an animated movie that is a contemporary adaptation of the story!

[1AdrianR]

@71crm Thank you, I've heard that Love Never Dies is coming to my hometown, Toronto which I hope to see as the music is brilliant. Not sure why people hate it.

[71crm]

@1AdrianR Yeah I know, I wish people wouldn't diss it so much too! I mean I love Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo!

[EmmersEmily]

LoveShouldDie have u seen the show? And alot if musicals r based off of flop books like Wicked

[JohannaPalacio001]

I went to see the show on broadway this past May and was AMAZING! NO musical can top POTO ever!

[PhantomsPoet180]

Best. Show. Ever. No doubt about that.

[KateAndOrKatie]

AHHHH! I just saw this the day before yesterday @ the Majestic! It was BEYOND amazing!!!!!! I got the chills during "Think of Me" and cried and cried and cried during the scenes b/t Christine and the Phantom (esp the very end)! It was my 1st Broadway show and it was the best performance I have ever seen! Just...ah! I don't even have words haha -Katie

[lovelinz13]

just saw it on broadway yesterday.... so AMAZING

[doug905]

Absolutely stunning. Only the broadway rendition can express the true compassion. Absolutely phenominal.

[TheVampiresnight]

i saw it on Broadway and I was blown away!! Ive seen so many Broadway shows before for birthdays but THIS SHOW!! It made me laugh, cry, and cheer. The romance in this show is so beautiful i recommend it to EVERYONE. I saw this show 2 DAYS AGO and it was the best day EVER. The ending was so sad when the girl found the mask i cried SO much at that part

[gUrAcoX463]

i was in ny a couple of days ago, but only wicked was at the gershwin or w.e :(

[TheVampiresnight]

@gUrAcoX463 Broadway shows are really good if you get the tickets about 3 months ahead. that way you get awesome seats and to see the show you want

[gUrAcoX463]

@TheVampiresnight yeah i wish i could, it was a choir trip to perform in carenegie hall

[KamiinKyle]

is the water on stage of all the Phantom productions real??

[maniacboyz7]

@KamiinKyle i think it's just smoke..

[CharmedBalthazar]

@KamiinKyle It's actually an illusion. They use dry ice machines to hide the stage, giving the illusion of a misty lake. The boat has wheels and is controlled like a toy car. The phantom himself does not control the boat, eventhough it appears as if i does :)

[TheTitanic4]

my favorite show ever!

[Phantomgoast]

The music is slower than than london im going to see the las vagas version Bigger chandieR

[PhoenixPhire22]

Bought tickets for this in October in LA for my sister's birthday. She loves the movie and really wanted to see the show and it's finally coming back to the Pantages Theatre so... Presale tickets went on sale today so scooped up some really good seats. She's gonna flip...

[soccerdramaqueen101]

i saw this yesterday too! i must say i am obsessed now haha

[victoriatouille]

I saw this yesterday, and had the chandelier fall right above my head... it is so amazing, it feels like you're in the movie. I LOVE THIS MUSICAL!!

[kristenlusby22]

Absolutely in LOVE with the movie but I know the Broadway musical is ten times better. Just wish I could see it! Wish it would come to Memphis!

[Phonexwing]

@kristenlusby22 Travel to see it. The experience is definitely worth it.

[saphuras1122]

I am DETERMINED to see the live show... i saw the movie and it was great but my mom says the stage productionis wayyyy better :D

[naryafaeraine]

They should put the Broadway version on DVD like they did with CATS for us poor sobs who can't afford running up to New York to see it XD

[LilttleMoney]

@naryafaeraine

Yeah, I know, because the movie just dosn't do it for me

[gabrieljlivingston]

@naryafaeraine I heard there was one filmed of the OBC, but it was only for people who did something... idk... But i hope they release it!

[Disneydanny]

@naryafaeraine they could, but people would stop seeing it at the theatre. now i suppose they COULD make a theatre exclusive DVD of it that way the only way to get the DVD is to see it live.

[MithraMusic]

@Disneydanny Lol that would be all over youtube within two hours. If the show ever closes, though, THEN they should film it from Broadway, like Cats and Rent.

[Disneydanny]

@MithraMusic where were you siitting? when I saw it last mopnth I had 2nd row center seats

[MithraMusic]

@Disneydanny Center orchestra. The sound is waaay better right in the middle than right up front.

[BCE42906]

@naryafaeraine now would be a great time to do it...put it on dvd and blu ray, film it in Hi-Def...

[RichieEastside]

@naryafaeraine That's why they made the movie...and no matter where you are in the world pretty much you'll have the opportunity to see it at least once or twice a year on tour ;)

[Fullmetal1890P]

@naryafaeraine I don't think they'd do that until it stops running.

[hemanshera777]

@naryafaeraine I actually want to see if the Broadway version of Mamma Mia! can get that same treatment myself

[Quatlebaum]

@naryafaeraine I have been screaming about that for years

[The98odominatorboy]

@naryafaeraine they did smarts

[AlcoFan2010]

@naryafaeraine Sadly, they might not because Webber said that that's the reason they made the movie, But the movie sucked! Hopefully for the 30th anniversary but that's to far away!

[liamblackere]

@naryafaeraine

if im beeing honest i think thats what shut cats ,too many people had already seen it ! but boy i would love the phantom on dvd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mangosrock908]

@liamblackere its not as good as the paly u hav to see the paly ot really expreciance it

[nina951]

@naryafaeraine OMG I KNOW! like i saw it on broadway..but i couldnt see much..like if they made a broadway version..like, we could see everything and the details..AGGGGGH! :)

[personlalafa]

@naryafaeraine Or at least something like they do with Les Mis. A concert of the songs in costumes..?

I don't think it would prevent people from going to see it regardless. I mean, that would only be showing one cast. It's nice and interesting to see different actors in the role. Each time I see new depth and character from every role. :) Singing and acting is very unique and tells you a new story with each delivery.

[TheITinFIT]

I hope I can see this again this summer ^_^

[hotairballoonkid]

i will get to see it in may 2010

[wuhanbby113]

greatt show. but not the ONLY great one out there!!

[sabelbelbel]

@ShopKID185:

u are soooo lucky!!! i only got my playbill signed by howard mcgillin last june:(

[ShopKID185]

i just got a singed playbill from the whole cast yesterday

[rockinivy]

:o LUCKY!! haha how long did you wait in the back?

[ShopKID185]

it took me about a week or so

[rockinivy]

WOW!! now that's commitment! ;D

[Jimmykudokid8410]

@ShopKID185 I AM SO JEALOUS!! :)

[ShopKID185]

i have the address if you want one

[RosesNightengales]

FAVORITE SHOW ON EARTH!

[TheVampiresnight]

@RosesNightengales I 100% agree. I saw the show 2 days and thought it was the best ever. its completely unsurprising the show has been going on in Broadway for 20 years and broke records every where :)

[mrmsram]

I saw this in Vegas and had VIP passes.

Best money I've ever spent.

If you ever get a chance to see this show, GO!!

[Soccerfan217]

I agree completely! I've seen it in Vegas 5 times. Did you meet Tony for your VIP tour? He's rather amazing. I love Tony...

[mrmsram]

Yes, I did! He was so kind and personable! He's my favorite Phantom.

[Soccerfan217]

I know! Tony is amazing! I love him. I know him well (I know some people in NY so whenever I go to Vegas....) it's really cool. He has 2 kids now. One is 3 and the other is about 3 months.
