The show was good, and the theater and effects were amazing. They did a great job with this show.\n\nAs others have noted, be warned... it is the abridged version of the show. You get all of the musical numbers, but they edit out some of the storytelling. One of the people I went with didn't know the story, and he said after he was lost at times with what was going on with the characters.\n\nSo if you already know Phantom and want to see the show and the music performed live in spectacular fashion, go see it. If you are a purist who wants to see it in its entirety, you may be disappointed.
