Phantom of the Opera Reviews

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 ...  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 production. A few ...  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 at the ...  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 Carlotta ...  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 Opera was ...  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 The Opera. ...  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 it!! Its ...  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 based on ...  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 the ...  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 easier to have ...  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 special effects ...  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 always. ...  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

Went to see this piece of entertainment in Bradford in the Alhambra. With phantom and was pleasantly surprised due to the fact that I'm not really into musicals but got dragged along by the other half. I've been to see Les Mis and wasn't very impressed with that so was a bit sick at the thought of going to see this musical. ...  Read the complete review

Phantom of the opera remains my all time favourite show of all. The music is haunting, the story touching, the costumes colourful and the acting is out of this world. Tickets for this show are hard to come by and expensive. Unless you are prepared to take the chance of just turning up on the night make sure you book well in advance. ...  Read the complete review

i have now seen this show three times and it impressed me the first time I saw it but the other couple of times I've seen it it has really disappointed. I first saw it in 1990 when dave willetts was in the lead role. This was the first show i ever saw in london and i have never forgotten the experience as seeing this caused me ...  Read the complete review

If you are going to see a show in London, go and see 'Phantom of the Opera'- you won't be sorry!! I can honestly say that this performance was the most uplifting experience that I have had in a theatre. The singing was second to none (and I don't even like opera!), the costumes were beautiful and the special effects were ...  Read the complete review

I have always heard people saying how great "Phantom of the Opera" is, but i just can't really imagine it as i have never watch it. Until one fine day, the crew came to Liverpool and i managed to get some very good seats as i booked my tickets very early, about 1-2 months before the show. I managed to get seats just about ...  Read the complete review

The Phantom of the Opera, a west-end hit for one of the west-end's old favourites Andrew Lloyd Webber. However, if you are looking for something to entertain as well as provide so stimulation for the mind you wont find it in this production. The set designers have worked their little socks off, their is a stunning use of lights though ...  Read the complete review

This has got to be the worst production of anything I've seen ever, my dog could perform a better show using a cardboard box for a set, blindfolded. It was terrible, the acting was yukky and the storyline was, well, you know what its about! The stage squeaked! Yes, you hear correct, as the unrealistic candles came onto the ...  Read the complete review
