Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 14, 2011 Members Share Posted September 14, 2011 Being a SOndheim fanatic, I can't wholeheartedly support Andrew Lloyd Webber ( before anyone gets defensive I'm merely making a joke about the stupid rivalry among some theatre fans that you can't appreciate both Sondheim and Lloyd Webber) but Phantom was the first professional musical I saw as a kid. I wish they would just film the brilliant Hal Prince/Maria Bjornson original production, which I think elevates the material (and Joel Shumacker's film proved how wrong some people get it)--and not some new concert staging, although I hear this will be more staged than the recent Les Miz concerts. I get it--they want people to still have to see the show live, so promote a concert version to make more money, but at this point I think they should just release it (particularly since with hte closing of the not great rreceived sequel Love Never Dies, Webber has announced he IS releasing a DVD of that production).

Members Shawn Posted October 4, 2011 Members Share Posted October 4, 2011 This is perhaps the most overrated musical of all time, in my opinion, right up there with Cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 12, 2012 Members Share Posted February 12, 2012 This is an interesting article as Phantom celebrates 10,000 performances. It mostly focuses on the ways they've managed to turn a profit. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/11/theater/phantom-of-the-opera-reaches-10000th-broadway-performance.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
