"lets bet on how many ppl will be in the theatre, i think 6." "10." one. :(
Three joined us before the show started. Counting ourselves, we ended the show with a totally of seven. The age gap between them and myself was approximately 30 years.

Salinas people are uncultured hacks. :(
It was amazing. I know some people who don't think Sierra is that great of an actress and I'm not a great acting critic, but she sings phenomenally and dances terrifically, and that's really all I care about because I'm an opera singer. The costumes were of course brilliant, being the original Maria Bjornsen ones.

THEY DIDNT DROP THE CHANDELIER WTF
The technical stuff was... a little interesting. A lot of the things that made Phantom so groundbreaking were just gone. The underground lake bit was stripped bare and shortened, they didn't drop the chandelier, all sets bare minimum pieces with the bulk of the scene being projected onto screens which I'm sure looked totally epic in real life but didn't translate as well over film. Thankfully I'm more interested in the music and costumes, and those were left in tact.

But other than that holy crap this is amazing.

And im so tired im almost watching it like a normal person, analysis free. ALMOST.
It's been harder for me to go to shows lately because I think about them too much. I analyse the singing techniques, I analyse the costumes, I wonder if they're layering for quickchanges and when they're offstage I can imagine what exactly they're changing into and how long it's going to take them and whether they have time to use the bathroom, and I listen to the orchestra and it's not even just that I can hear when someone is wrong, it's just that I can hear ALL of them, every single part all together and how they blend and what chords they're making and it just gets really really overwhelming and just a sensory overload and I'm exhausted at the end of the show, as you might imagine. Stupid music degree, and such.
Also. They tweaked the finale a bit so it jives less with LND. Which... makes more sense, now. And I giggled, a little.
AND THEN IT WAS SO COOL SARAH BRIGHTMAN WAS THERE AND MICHAEL CRAWFORD AND COLM WILKINSON AND ALL THESE PEOPLE OMG SO COOL.
Go see it. It rocks.
People agree with me. Check it out.
