And no, I'm not talking about actually having a Broadway musical within your house, despite new trends in New York of having visiting performers entertain you at your... Read More

I have never had the privilege of attending a Broadway musical, I mean one that was actually performed on a Broadway stage. I have seen the Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables performed live and that was thrilling but probably not the same as being at one of the famous Broadway musical theaters in New York. Last spring, my brother in law and his wife had to go to a... Read More

I recently pulled out my older DVD's. You know the ones that ended up in the back of my collection because every time I got a new one, they would get relocated further and further from the front. I found my soundtrack to Phantom of the Opera near the back of my collection. I had forgotten how wonderful the music to that show is. That is a really great piece of work. I had... Read More
A month ago I visited Taos, NM, where I got to watch Phantom of the Opera on an HD TV. It was excellent. I am reluctant to say that it was the frist time I saw this movie, and I enjoyed it. When I was a teenager I read the book that it is based on and actually think that once again, the book was better than the musical, but the movie was still first class entertainment,... Read More
Personally I have never been to a Broadway musical, well one that was performed on Broadway, anyway. I have seen performances of Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables done on much smaller stages but with every bit as much gusto as if it had been done as a Broadway musical. I have heard for many years about the Broadway musical call Sweeny Todd but I do not know that much... Read More
If you've been to a Broadway musical like the Phantom of the Opera, you know how unbelievable the story line is. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the production itself, but the story line is just flat-out unbelievable. If you've seen the production, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't seen the Phantom of the Opera, one of the most far-fetched things about it... Read More

My 12 year old daughter Kat is probably the biggest fan of the Broadway musical Phantom of the Opera of all time. After watching the video 147 times ( yes she has kept count ), seeing the Broadway musical in NYC with her father and his gf once, and continuously blasting the cd of the musical score for the last two years, I myself was rather burned...
