20th August, me and a friend from work went to see a show i have been dying to see for a while now, The Phantom of the Opera. The show was just breathtaking! Set, Costume, Singing, Orchestra, all of it was so great. I previously got a refund for tickets sold to me for The Bodyguard because they weren't we they were specified to be, so we were able to get top price tickets in the stalls for this one!
Where we were sitting was a great view and really good legroom, the only problem i found was the cushion in the seat. It was as if all of the stuffing inside of it had been forced to the front of the seat over the years of usage. So it was as if we were sitting of a plan of wood for 2hours 30mins!
At the moment, Ben Forster is playing Phantom, but as he was on holiday we had Scott Davies (Previously Phantom West End and on Tour) who was absolutely brilliant! The cast included Celinde Shoenmaker as Christine and Nadim Naaman as Raoul, both of which were outstanding and had a real connection on stage.
The moment the overture started, the atmosphere in the theatre was electrifying. The orchestra were incredible too. It was so exciting to see a show with such a large live orchestra.
Overall, I would give this show 4.5 Stars.
