I first saw The Phantom of the Opera with my parents in London when I was about 10 and even though I don't remember every scene, I definitely remember being in awe. We had really good seats and the whole experience was just breath-taking.
This time round, I was not disappointed either. The international steller cast gave a strong performance and the stage set was stunning with all the opulence and grandeur of a classic Parisian opera house - the background where this tragic love story takes place. I say "tragic" because I would have loved for Christine to end up with The Phantom. Ooops, hope that's not a spoiler as I think all should know the storyline of The Phantom of the Opera already. I recently found out there's a sequel musical called Love Never Dies where Christine gave birth to the Phantom's son though {!!}.


There's also a photo booth set up by the Canon, the organisers, and each photo costs S$10. All proceeds are donated to the Singapore Cancer Society and we took a shot to commemorate our date night. It came out pretty well I reckon :)

Thanks to the boy for planning such a wonderful date night {and thanks to mum for looking after Lil Pumpkin while we went}. Had such a wonderful time! *muakz muakz* The last time The Phantom haunted Singapore was in 2007, so it might be a good 5 years before you can catch this amazing production locally if you miss it this time. Do grab your tickets if you haven't yet as its last show is on 1 Sep 2013!

How nice. Sounds like you had a rea treat. It's been ages since I last went for a musical. Hope to catch one before the year ends.
Yup v nice photo by Canon! Nice date night, you got to dress up and all. :)
I didn't like Phantom much when I caught it in UK as it was SLOW... compared to other musicals like Cats and Miss Saigon. I bought the CD and have come to like more of the music. Erm but it's still slow leh. Heh.
How fun! I've never been to that one, but I'd love to go. Wicked is on my list for the next one I want to see.
Susan: yes it was such a wonderful treat :)
Stacy: haha it is and watching it after a work day, we were rather sleepy ;P Watched Cats & Miss Saigon before too but I think this is my fave musical of them all!
Alissa: Wicked is on my list too :) It was in SG last year but I missed it.
I am super jealous! This is one show I have been wanting to see for ages! I know the feeling about waiting. I actually just bought my tickets for STOMP, which won't be coming to my area until next May! That's a long wait. But we did get front row seats, so it will be worth it!
I loveee theater...just watched Matthew Bourke's Sleeping Beauty ballet in NYC last 2 weeks..it was awesomeee :D...thanks for sharing..
