On Wednesday, I took the plunge and got a ticket to go see the Phantom of the Opera, in the place where it all began. I ultimately purchased one of the grand circle tickets, essentially the second level seats and had a decent view of the stage. The show started approximately on time and wrapped about 2.5hrs later. At the end, I actually felt kinda underwhelmed, per say. I have seen the Phantom twice before and have seen the movie, but this just didn't live up to my expectations. It was still very good, but it just doesn't hold a flicker to my other theater experiences in London, or against any of the other times I have seen it. The Phantom in the play was beyond terrific, but Christine and Raoul were just meh. Hopefully, it was just an off night, but I definitely felt let down a bit.
