Spent an amazing and wonderful night at the Esplanade with Bro. Finally realising one of my dreams after 13 years of waiting. I can now shout loudly: “I HAVE SEEN THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!”.
I still remembered clearly how I envy my schoolmates who had the opportunity to watch it during that time. When they described it to me, I felt that it’s something that I must watch when it comes back! My sisters bought the sountrack back, when they were touring here, and it was one of my most played and cherished CD (but i lost it when moving house) during that time. However, back then, I was still young and could not appreciate the most out of this amazing musical!
So in a way, I’m glad that I watched at my current age so that I would be able to appreciate more from it! Of cos, watching it with Bro (who watched a few times and still loved it fondly, which goes to show how well-written it was) made the whole experience fun and memorable! makotoni arigatou gozaimasu, nii-dono!
I can only say that I TOTALLY enjoyed the whole show and was blown away by the details and singing of the Australian casts, even thou, Raoul wasn’t very fantastic as Christine and Phantom! He had a weak voice than the other 2 and doesn’t shine much even his role was a major one.
From the start of the POTO theme song, I was so touched by the experience that alot of things and memories were running through my mind while watching the musical. Indeed I was so touched that i cried when Christine sang “Think Of Me”. It just touched the bottom of my heart alot… (Time really flies and don’t come back, so cherish every moment you have and savour the taste of life, be it bitter or sweet!)
Below are some of my favourite songs from the musical that i managed to find to re-live the moments. I would love to go to the ACTUAL POTO Theatre in UK which Shaz-dono went! Shaz and Bro, maybe the 3 of us can go and watch the whole musical together in UK huh huh… Also would love to see the first ORIGINAL cast of Christine (Sarah Brightman) and Phantom (Michael Crawford) perform again! hahaha.. I need to also watch the movie version by Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson and Gerard Bulter.
