Phantom of the Opera favourite, though can't beat a bit of Rocky Horror for fun

And in my youth,regularly performed and took leading roles in amateur productions,despite not being able to sing lol and also ran my own youth theatre company and did a affair number of shows as stage manager... so pretty much partaken in all aspects of it

We've seen Phantom 3 times & Chicago one once, as well as a few local productions.

Phantom will always be special though.

Definitely something about Phantom... I think it's 3 or 4 times myself and want to do so again now the theatre has been revamped and the orchestra shrunk

You can't compare them, phantom the night I saw it was flat. I've seen recorded productions of it and they were far better. I don't know if the cast had had a shuffle or what but there was no energy in it

They've just released their first rehearsal of that song after lockdown, the emotion is incredible.
