Phantom of the Opera Reviews

This show has been running for 25 years now and recently had a concert in the Royal Albert Hall to celebrate this fact. I had high hopes about seeing the current London production after hearing how amazing it was, and after seeing its sequel "Love Never Dies" (yes I know I saw them the wrong way round!). The basic ...  Read the complete review

Andrew Lloyd Webber's production, The Phantom of the Opera, both in film and in theatre is in my view one of the most stunning musicals of all time. The show is now in its 24th consecutive year of performance at Her Majesty's theatre, London proving just how brilliantly successful the story is. Arriving at the theatre on the ...  Read the complete review

Phantom of the Opera is a theatrical classic, and in many ways, it is the true definition of success in the West End. I first saw Phantom of the Opera twenty years ago - and I have also seen it as recently as three months ago - and in that time, it has maintained its vibrancy and freshness in a way that's been achieved by ...  Read the complete review

I have never been to a London theatre before and was so excited when my boyfriend and his family invited me to go to see the Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre. I have always loved the music from this theatre production ever since I was very young and had seen the DVD production previously. I was very impressed when ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I love musicals and would love to see more, having seen a handful now I think at present The Phantom of the opera has to be a firm favourite. I first thought about going to see it when a friend returned from a weekend in London and had been to see the show, she raved about it and as we had imialr interests I was keen to see the ...  Read the complete review

The Phantom of the Opera has been running in the West End since 1986, making it the second longest-running musical there. The plot is simple; the characters are engaging and the music is superb. The play opens with a dingy and cold set, where a range of characters have gathered for the auctioning of theatrical paraphernalia ...  Read the complete review

The longest running and highest grossing musical on Broadway is The Phantom of the Opera; it has been running for 20 years and is still hugely popular. Phantom is an enjoyable and intriguing musical but be prepared as this is a long one! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Phantom on Broadway, being in the centre of New York just off ...  Read the complete review

I went to see the Phantom of the Opera on the 26th April 2008. Although I am only 14 i have seen a lot of theatre shows and this is by far the best I have ever seen. THe girl who played the role of Christine Daae was fantastic the role was played exactly as I imanged it should have been. On the other hand I thought that the woman playing ...  Read the complete review

When my family and I were in London back in June, the primary reason we went was because me and my sister were desperate to see Phantom of the Opera at the theatre. We had seen it ten years ago but as it's our favourite show we wanted to go again. So we booked for a Saturday evening for the 7.30 showing. The Phantom of the ...  Read the complete review

I was shaking with excitment as my Mother-in-law opened her 60th Birthday card- unaware of what delights were inside it. Then I saw a tear and we all started bouncing around laughing like giddy school children. This was sure to be a birthday present she would never forget- a weekend in London with front row tickets to see The Phantom Of ...  Read the complete review

The Phantom of the Opera. What can I say? This musical was the most breathtaking, most awesome musical I have ever seen in my entire life. It was a mix of tragedy and romance (no its not just a girl's musical, even guys will love it!) This musical just about left me in tears. It was breathtaking! It was so lovable - anyone will love ...  Read the complete review

Phantom is one of the best known musicals in the world. Composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and written by Charles Hart it contains a number on memorable, and more importantly for marketing reasons, hummable tunes. From the title song, through Angel of Music to Say you'll Love Me. Catchy tunes that people remember. Phantom is ...  Read the complete review

Phantom is definitely one of my favorite productions for several reasons. The music is powerful, the love story is simple and dark, and so is the amazing production. I saw Phantom in Toronto at the Pantages Theater, and I was highly impressed to say the least. The music by Webber is dark, haunting, and beautiful, which makes it ...  Read the complete review

We went to see The Phantom of the Opera a couple of weeks ago and i have never seen a better performance of any production ever before. i admit that i do not go to the theatre very often but i have seen enough performances in my life to understand what i am comparing it to! The props were so realistic - obviously it is ...  Read the complete review

I love this show to bits and have seen it about 10 times all told. I even saw it on Broadway! I have already told my husband that when the film (being made soon I believe) comes out on DVD we will be buying a DVD player. The story is interesting and the songs are fabulous. You really feel for the Phantom at times. The ...  Read the complete review

The Phantom of the Opera is my second favourite musical of all time. I love the music, I love the lyrics, I love the staging. I first saw the show when I was about eleven years old - it's a bit gory in places and maybe not suitable for little kids, but I loved it then and I love it now. Andrew Lloyd Webber's music is beautiful as ...  Read the complete review

I seem to be outnumbered when it comes to this musical. I have seen quite a few shows in the West End and had heard some of the songs from this show before going and wasn't over keen. There is no doubt at all that Andrew Lloyd Webber is the man responsible for putting the West End back on the map when it comes to musical ...  Read the complete review
