It’s almost unbelievable for me to admit that this was my first time seeing The Phantom of the Opera. Of course, I knew the iconic songs and had seen countless clips over the years, but experiencing the production live on stage for the first time was entirely different, haunting, and spine-chillin…
The production, with its flamboyantly portrayed characters and colorful background, fulfilled the most crowd-pleasing elements of the work…
