Musicals Review:

The Phantom of the Opera
I first saw The Phantom of the Oprea (TPOTO) when I was tweleve and i loved it, now i am thirty and i still love it. The special affects and lighting, in particular the chandelier crash, create the picture of the 19th century Paris oprea house. The music was the most entrancing part of the musical. When you listen to the performers, your eyes become dazed and you can feel the passion of the lyrics and the actors.
