Phantom of the Opera

This last Thursday evening Dad and I attended the live showing of Phantom. I have always wanted to see it in person and being as it is playing all month, we took the time to attend. What an exciting night. It was at the Opera House - kind of an appropriate place wouldn't you say? Our seats were pretty good - about 3/4 the way back in the middle. For anyone that has already seen Phantom you might remember how the chandelier comes forward a little bit and then rises to the ceiling in the first part of the show. Well, the equipment that makes it rise failed somehow and there was a 15 minute waiting period while they fixed something. Then, after it started again everything worked fine. It was a marvelous and very entertaining musical opera that I am glad we decided to go see.

It was so exciting to see the stage backdrops and the famous chandelier. All of the stage equipment and performance was great. We really had a good time and glad we went.
