I have to say Phantom of the Opera is my favourite musicals of all time, so when i heard there was a sequel i had to go!
I have to say after hearing it had been taken off the stage to be re-written i was a little nervous about going to watch it, what if it was awful and ruined Phantom for me? I didn't need to worry!
The play itself follows on from the story of Phantom but you don't need to know that story before seeing this, as the music tells you all you need to know.
The music was beautiful, very enchanting and very very well performed. The cast of the show sang the songs with the elegance and grace they deserved. There is one song in particular that literally gave me goosebumps, although i wasn't sure if that was Ramin (Phantom) voice or the song itself!
The setting/stage were amazing the deatils were spectacular, Andrew-Lloyd Webber certainly raised the bar when he wrote this. To see is to believe!
I have absolutley no idea whay this is being taken off the West end but if it ever comes back or tours i recommend going to watch it, even if you're not a musical fan you will not be dissappointed!!!!
