I'm a total Phantom of the Opera junkie, but I've never seen it. (EEK!),
however, I love the music so much...
Anyway, I want to know who has seen Phantom in Detroit and who has in Toronto.
I would like to hear about it, and make my decision.
I'd love to go to Toronto, but it's expensive as hell...although I've heard
that Toronto is a much better experience in terms of the show than Detroit.

I saw the Phantom in Toronto three years ago. Quite an experience.
(And I went during Colm Wilkinson's vacation! AAAARGH!)

I saw Colm Wilkinson this year in Toronto. Terrific. I purchased a CD of
the Toronto cast.
I've talked to people who've seen it in Toronto and also when it was in
Detroit, and the general consensus is that it was two different plays.

Really? When I saw Phantom, it seemed less a play and more an excuse to
string^H special effects together for two hours.

Huh... When I went to Phantom, I expected to get music and brilliant effects.
I was disappointed by both. My excuse is that my expectations were too high:
I knew the music too well via the CD, so I had preconceptions about how it was
supposed to sound; my expectations for the effects were heightened by
hysterical reviews and urban legend, so an excellent production seemed
anticlimactic.
I enjoy my fantasies about how I expected the production to be much more than
my memories of the real thing. Fortunately, one doesn't have to give up
one to experience the other!
