Worked on the original Australia production, watching Quast and Warlow singing Lilly’s eyes 8 times a week is something I’ll never forget. Can’t wait to see it again from the stalls this time.

She needed to slow down and take a few beats here and there. Camp it up and vampit up a bit. I was disappointed. She also doesn’t really have the money notes of that song."
Ben Platt acting is like watching paint dry, pointless. Sadly the most interesting character was River.

Isn’t the original classed as a classic? While I love Tony’s work. Not sure why this needs an update.

RIP, had the pleasure of working with him many years ago. He really was some one so special. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Phantom, he’s direction and staging is still magnificent 33 years later.
Thanks for the answers , that’s the thing remove all the splashy and what your left with is not worth the sum of it parts. Which is a pity. But these producers did the same with King Kong , Strictly Ballroom, sometimes getting the book right is better than splashy
Don't get me wrong I love over the top as much as anyone, but one can only dress mutton up so much.

Wasn’t it slaughtered by the critics , I know the Australian ones hated it. Back on topic Diamonds music is quiet wonderful IMO
