The Phantom! - 2007/08/25 22:23
Back from Ottawa! Hooray for tours! Well all that I can say is Wow! The production was very entertaining and I had lots of fun. I think though that I would of preferred it if I hadn't seen the movie before... it kind of wrecked some surprises but nothing major. Act One (mainly because of the movie) was a little boring A LITTLE but i really loved Act Two. We sat in Box 23 but I'm sure when we had bought our tickets we had bought some for Box 5  . It added to the fun (that we had box seats) because they talk about boxes in the musical.
All the performers sang well except that in the beginning I felt that the actress that played Meg had a little bit of difficulty... maybe it was an off day for her or maybe her voice wasn't well prepared... oh well, such is live theatre. The Phantom and Christine played by Steve (Steven?) Tewksbury and Sarah Lawrence were brilliant. What I loved about the difference voices of both Raoul and The Phantom was that The Phantom had a much more stronger, powerful voice than Raoul and It added well to the fact that the Phantom's the Angel of Music (or is he? up to you to find out!). Please ask questions about the show. It's still fresh in my memory.

. It will be my first show on tour that I will see and the second broadway production (the first being Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a few years back). I'll probably post a review when I return tomorrow.
And I'm fifteen!
! So instead I just watched the actors go by and tried to recognize them (which I have to tell you is hard if your not sitting in the orchcestra during the show and the playbill only had nine photos of the leads (the phantom wasn't even there (probably because he's an understudy))) and I tried to have fun and not show my disappointment. We were about to leave (I kinda had enough) when this person walking with her bike came over to us and asked us if we were waiting for family or friends in the show I replied saying we were trying to recognize people. Then she said that she was sure we would never recognize her and I couldn't... but guess what! She was Sarah Lawrence who played Christine! I was so surprised! Then she called Raoul over to us and I recognized him and we talked a bit and I asked for autographs so I got some! I was too much in shock that I forgot to take a picture with them 
oh well at least I got autographs. After they left we decided to leave as well but then Rebecca Judd who plays Mme Giry came over to us and she autographed as well! I was so happy! The fact that Sarah came over to us highlighted our short trip to Ottawa and I would love to go back and see the show with her in it again and again and again!
