The Phantom of the Opera Musical

"The Phantom of the Opera is an icon - one glimpse of the famous mask logo and you immediately think of the show. It's been seen by more than 100 million people worldwide and is the longest-running show on Broadway. It's also widely considered to be one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's most accomplished scores."

Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa, impresionante, encantadora y que recomiendo a todo el que pueda en algún momento de su vida. La música es sublime, es una obra maestra. Los escenarios y el vestuario son brillantes. El casting (a pesar de no tener la excelente voz de Sarah Brightman) es perfecto. Qué más se puede decir? Sobran las palabras. Disfruten de la función.

Me piace que hayas podido disfrutar de un clásico de esa envergadura,y en directo.
A ver si puedes ir a ver más obras, que ya ves que son toda una experiencia. :-)

No creo que vaya a ver más musicales a Londres porque no son precisamente baratos (y el viaje a Londres también es caro), pero me voy más que contento habiendo podido disfrutar de semejante espectáculo!!
