Unbelievable. We love the movie, and thought nothing could compare. But the nuance and power of the live singing, especially by the 3 leads, took my breath away. The staging is gorgeous. I'll never forget the raw emotional power of the Phantom's singing and expression. Don't miss this. A once in a lifetime experience. We were in Orchestra K, 39 and 40. Fantastic seats. I'd recommend orchestra if you can do it. We found discount (50% off) tickets by using a coupon code and paid about $90 per ticket. You can search for this in Google and see if they work for you.
