Advantages: Breathtaking, Heartbreaking, Magical

Disadvantages: NONE - Well except the cost of food and drink in the Theatre

I have seen this Theatre Production four times so far and I'm about to see it again in September for a fifth time. It's definitely my favourite show - From the moment that you hear that familiar music to the end where I'm copiously sobbing my heart out you just can't fail to love every single minute of it.

THE VENUE

The Theatre is one of the poshest that I've been in and is literally a hop skip and a jump from Piccadilly Station. Just walk down the road (past the water feature) and it's on the right hand side. Be careful to eat and drink beforehand as the drinks and food are outrageously expensive - I think I spent nearly £10 last time I was there for just a small box of pringles, a small bag of minstrels and a small coke.

THE PRODUCTION

It's supposedly held in an old Opera House and is about the "Ghost" that lives there and that falls madly in love with Christine, an up and coming star in the Opera House.

Be aware that just about halfway through you will get the shock of your Life as something falls from the ceiling - But don't worry, it won't hit you!! But the first time I saw it I nearly jumped out of my seat.

THE PRICES

To be honest, no matter where you sit in the Theatre you'll have a good View...but I feel that it's worth spending a little extra (up to £60) for a decent Seat so that you don't have to squint.

Definitely go and see it - It's a classic that everyone should see at least once!!
