I'm a big fan of the musical, can't wait for the film. Looks good.

I watched the trailer this weekend on TV and it looks real slick

OMG!!!!! I am so excited now! I really hope that they don't screw it up though. It would be tragic to change something so wonderful into something so.....Hollywood.

Oh ugh

Then again, I am not a fan of musicals. I went to see this one and, other than the falling chandelier, was unimpressed.

What musical was it, and where did you see it?

Saw it in San Francisco several years ago. A friend of mine who is big on it loaned me the album for a week before going to see it, so I could hear the music. Like most modern musicals, I was unimpressed with the music. I find that most musicals nowadays rely on gimmicks rather than on particularly good music, but again that is a personal taste.

Most people seemed to enjoy the performance.

For me, I'll stick to Gilbert & Sullivan -- that's about as close as I get to liking a musical, and there it is primarily for the silly stories

You should see Little Shop of Horrors if you like funny musicals instead of serious ones.

if Phantom does good, I hope they will finally do a Les Mis movie musical.
