On November 4, 2007 we went to see The Phantom of the Opera as part of our 25th wedding anniversity. We were not to convinced that this show would be of our liking, but we went to see it anyway despite our table number was 113 (front stage). This was the best thing we had convinced ourselves of. This is a unforgettable and one-of-a-kind theatre experience for us.

The Phantom of the Opera’s costumes were eye-catching, and the special effects are truly thrilling. The moment that Aaron Ramey (The Phantom) started to sign “Where in the World” it was jaw opening and all I could say was; “Wow, Wow, Wow…” My husband and I had never heard a voice like Mr. Ramey’s it is really a maestro and not just in character. Oh, yes; Kate Rockwell (Christine) was amazing also, but we had never heard such a voice coming from a male. I sat at the edge of my seat the rest of the show. We find irresistible the charater of Mr. Gary Marchek’s (Cholet), he was hilarious to view, especially when he was in the scene with Sandy Rosenberg (Carlotta).”Wow.” The show’s eerie gondola ride to the Phantom’s cave, when the giant chandelier drops on the Paris Opera House stage; and of course the teary eye scene with Mr. James Van Treuren (Gerard Carriere) singing “You Are My Own” with Mr. Ramey. “Wow, wow, wow. BRAVO!, BRAVO! BRAVO!”

Sincerely Amazed,
