Phantom of the Opera

Here's another late posting-sorry. October 11th, the girls and I, along with a few other friends of ours had a date to see The Phantom of the Opera. We had to buy our tix way in advance because they were selling out very fast. They had to extend the show to support the demand. Well, we bought our tix (not too expensive ~$80-85) and were set to go. Surprisingly, I had never seen the opera before (go figure with me being a theatre major and all). So, I had to brush up on it before the show. My roommie (Linda) gave me the DVD to watch (in English) so that I wouldn't be completely lost during the performance (in Japanese). Granted, I would have figured it out, but knowing the story ahead of time did help. Also, a few things were lost in translation. All in all, it was money well spent. I even teared up at the end. The singing was absolutely amazing!!! I would LOVE to see it again in either language.








We saw the 4937th show
