I've seen The Phantom of the Opera around 25 times and it's really one of my favorite musicals. The music is amazing, the clothes are wonderful and the storyline is classic with the beauty and the beast, the hero. The fragile Christine, who is abducted by the horrible phantom but rescued by her youth love but the fragile side of the Phantom is shown and she is torn between them. It has been played the same way since 1986 and Andrew Lloyd Webber and The Really Useful Group have kept firm in how it gets played and staged, by who, where and when. But when the Finnish National Opera was going to play it, they got permission to make a new adoption of it. The creative team, Tiina Puumalainen director, ??Teppo J rvinen scenographer, Marjaana Mutanen, costume designer, Osku Heiskane choreographer, Teemu Nurmelin light designer and Andreas 'Stanley' L nnquist and Sakari Kiiski sound designer, create a totally reworked musical. It started playing in Finland and was transferred the 23rd of September 2017 to Sweden and the Opera in Gothenburg. As I wanted to see Fred Johanson as the Phantom and John Martin Bengtsson as Raoul, I had to find a date when they played in the same performance, and the date was set for December 9th. Before I saw it, I had seen some pictures that appear on the website and in press and I have to say that I was both excited and curious about what to expect. I've seen the musical so many times so it feels like I know every sequin on the fantastic dresses and when an eyebrow is to be raised so it was with mixed feelings I booked the ticket. Should I like the changes or not? I had no doubt that Fred and John Martin would deliver as I seen them several times. Fred lastest in Sunset Boulevard on West End in London. The same role as he did on Broadway this year with Glenn Close. John Martin was understudy to both The Phantom and Raoul in Stockholm this year and I had the privilege to see him as Phantom. Both has absolutely amazing voices. But for the new adoption I was not sure...
