Our biggest mistake with this show was not to note the seat numbers to avoid. Please don't forget this was written long before the rest of the show at a time when the aim of the project was still a parody rather the thick and heady romantic spectacle that it became. It would be nice if a soundtrack was available of the current cast. I don't think we missed a thing. _____________________, Thought I'd drop you a line with regard to my most recent trip to London to finally catch "Phantom," a show that I've wanted to witness for a long time but not enough to fork out for the always-top price and hard-to-get-without-booking-early seats!

Christine was one of the only redeeming qualities. The tickets were 40 each, reduced from 55 each as part of a Christmas offer; I would have happily paid full price given the quality of the seats and of the show.

That's it really, one last thing - Scott Davies received a standing ovation when he came on to take his bow - this was the only standing ovation I've ever witnessed for this show, I think it was mainly for his own performance as opposed to the show as a whole. This is a really great and unique show which will probably never be matched. During the fog scene I could see the Phantom and Christine in the boat (squinting, admittedly, but you could see them). Killian impressed me straight away. The atrocious stage framing of nude women being groped by demonic looking centaurs is entirely inappropriate for a show where children are allowed to sit in the audience, and was very distracting. The view from here was brilliant, and absolutely fantastic for the chandelier moments, as well as enabling you to see the Phantom at the top of the rig (which you would miss out on if further forward or under the overhang if further back). The cast was excellent, and the Phantom's performance was quite impressive and emotional. You don't miss a thing at these seats, and they made the show much more enjoyable. Over all, an excellent afternoon's entertainment, especially as we had only paid 33.00 for our seats as part of a group discount." The major problem is the sound. We were both absolutely blown away by the beginning when the music starts and the chandelier begins its ascent. The show starts with an elderly Raoul (in a wheelchair) buying a music box at an auction at the old opera house that had being previously haunted by the phantom. All very friendly, approachable and cheerful.

I first saw John playing the part of one of the students in Les Mis many years ago - he stood out even then! However, very disappointed with Theatre Tickets Direct. And Ramin looks so different in person (because the make-up is very professional), but bless him he's actually so cute and you can tell he is so overwhelmed with all the fans. Becky Pretty central and close to the stage so you can really experience the show. Not that there was much action coming from the unengaging acting and plot. We both had to agree though that Earl Carpenter, as the Phantom, was superb, he gave so much to his performance in the final scenes that we were both quite moved and I have never before been able to feel for this character. Its simply a way to sell second grade overpriced seats under the disguise of a special offer. When the actors sang on stage is sometimes was hard to hear, and when the actors sang off stage or a recording was playing it was much louder, so they either make the sound louder when the onstage or quieter when they are off. The walkway down to the Phantom's lair was a really slick and effective trick, and had you believing they were really walking downwards. Gina Beck was Christine and she was phenomenal. It was a privilege to see such a brilliant understudy and, whilst my wife and I will return for the matinee on 18th January hoping to see John Owen Jones, if Brian McCann happens to be playing again we know that we will not be disappointed. The girl lead was very good, as was The Phantom although the same cannot be said for Raoul he had a very weak voice and was totally overpowered by Christina (not sure of the name of girl who played her - but the dark haired one).

Ms Christina Brooks Is it better to sit in stalls or dress circle? Excellent seats. ____________________________________, Show Review: I didnt know whether I would like this show as I find Andrew Lloyd Webber shows a bit schmaltzy; but I have to say this was one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Booked these seats having reviewed them on this website beforehand and would like to add my recommendation as I was very happy. It was a pleasure to see her perform, other than being beautiful she acts astoundingly well and really feels the music. Also, for the record, Brian McCann is a 'swing'* in the programme - yes, but he is also listed as 'first cover'** for the Phantom, Scott Davies is the standby Phantom, i.e., the 'alternate. The show is fresh again and it's definitely worth the ticket price. The view was excellent as it was really close to the actors. The only seats that are really bad in the Sumner are any in the first row, and the second arent much better.

All three of us thought it was absolutely outstanding: John Owen-Jones was so powerful and charismatic as the Phantom, his voice was amazing (I was only sorry we didn't see as much of him as I would have liked! ___________________. Cashier said sometimes very good seats can be available at the last minute for 25. she was blo*dy brilliant. How can you expect a musical about Opera to be anything but Melodrama??????

Sadly, I felt that Ramin Karimloo's performance as the Phantom was weak vocally - it certainly did not live up to the hype I had heard.
