I gushed over the news that Phantom of the Opera is coming in Manila! I am a fan of stage plays and musicals. If I were in Manila, I would book tickets at a whim. The last time I watched this was in 2012 with my cousin and friends. It was nothing short of spectacular. I could not forget the superb performers, on point aesthetic values and everything in between intoxicatingly brought us to a new dimension. My favorite part of the play -even in the movie- was the chandelier drop. Do you like watching musicals? What is your favorite? The video below is an excerpt from The Phantom of the Opera musical last September 2012.
Last bars of the musical's title song performed by Jonathan Roxmouth as the Phantom and Claire Lyon as Christine, for the Manila press preview August 28, 201...

I love to watch a stage play. Thereto you will know who really can act well, because it islive and any mistake cannot be corrected anymore. I think I saw the movie of that, but not the stage play. It must be so nice to watch that. Good for you that you have watched it.

@SIMPLYD It actually gets cheaper when you buy tickets close to its opening day. And, what my friends and I do is, we buy balcony tickets and bring our own binoculars.

I've only been to one musical: Cats. I saw it twice, once in L.A. with a friend and once here in Louisville with my mom.

Wow! Cats! My professor let us watch a recorded Cats musical back in college. I was mesmerized. I promised myself that I would watch it someday. Unfortunately, I missed the first Cats musical in the Philippines.

My favorite stage show is "Showboat." I would like to see the "Donna Summer Broadway Show" if it comes to Lake Charles

I have not been to a musical in many years when I used to live in Los Angeles. My favorites were "Cats", "Dream Girls" and my all time favorite was "A Chorus Line". In fact, when Chorus closed in LA, I flew up to San Francisco and saw it there.

@Paradon I feel the same way. Last month, Chicago was staged here (Korea) but the ticket cost an arm a leg - two times more expensive. I missed watching the show in the Philippines because I was pregnant during that time.
