Love me, that's all I ask of you.

I love every second of the musical. The sets and ochestra/sounds and cast were so good and the entire thing was so pro it was like watching a movie on stage w/o NGs and it's just flows. It really couldn't be more perfect. 2 hours passed too quickly in the theatre yesterday. The seats were good enough for a good view, considering the seats were the most expensive ones, other than the VIP box. Just wish we could be closer to the stage to see the expressions of the cast.

My 2 favourite scenes had to be the last scene with the Phantom grieving while Christine & Raoul rowed away in the background, and the Masquerade scene with the gorgeous costumes and masks. I was surprised that Christine's costume in that scene wasn't as nice as compared to the rest. It was a good scene anyway, very lively.

I wish Lena were here. She would have so loved Phantom as well.

For those who are going to watch it, I'm so excited for you. For those who aren't, please consider. There're shows in May that have excellent seats and if you miss it this time, it's going to be a long time before they come back. Alternatively, you could fly to London or NY to watch it on broadway. Or the cheaper alternative, watch/re-watch the movie. But nothing beats the real thing.
