REVIEW: Andrew Lloyd Webber's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Opens at the Fox Theatre for Extended Run
by Chris Gibson
- Oct 3, 2009
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is really a triumph of staging with Harold Prince's direction presenting and coordinating these spectacular set pieces with cinematic precision. The constant movement of actors and curtains and backdrops provides a dazzling display of theatrical technique and technical virtuosity. Maria Bjornsson's amazing production design and Andrew Bridge's moody concert lighting scheme also contribute immensely. And, of course, there's Webber's full-bodied orchestral score (with lyrics by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe) to contend with as well.
