Great Phantom Opera Royal Albert Hall
I had gotten this for my dad for a Christmas present but had to wait til the February release date in the states. The shipping was prompt and the order received right on time which happened to be during a month long work training session out of town for me, but my dad waited til I got home til he watched it. We had seen Phantom in LA when I was about 12 for the first time, as soon as it was over I looked at him and said "I want to see it again!" and within a week he had tickets for us to see it again in the 3rd row. Since then we have seen it together at least a dozen times between LA, Dallas (where we live now), and flying to New York twice to see it. While other members of my family enjoy Phantom, it has always been a special connection between my dad and I. Tonight we watched this performance together and I hugged him after the overture for how amazing this was going to be. By the time "The Phantom of the Opera" played, I had squished by 22 year old self into my dad's chair with him and pretend I was a little girl again enjoying Phantom for the first time. Christine was the best I have ever seen or heard, with such emotion behind her voice and expressions that she brought me to tears in a few scenes. Best Christmas present I have ever spent money on for me and my dad to now be able to enjoy this in our own home, which I hope won't replace the trips to New York to see it live!
This is a must for any Phantom fan, I wouldn't recommend for people who haven't seen it live just because you cannot fully start to imagine what that experience is like, but for anyone, this is as close as it will get.
