HOW CAN I CONTINUE TO FIND GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS CLASSIC AT THE VENETIAN......UNFORTUNATELY CLOSING 2 SEPTEMBER.
BELEIVE ME I HAVE PLENTY OF GREAT STORIES TO TELL ABOUT THIS ANDREW LLOYD WEBER CLASSIC PERFORMED IN THE THEATRE BUILT ESPECIALLY FOR THIS PRODUCTION.
FORTUNATELY FOR US WE ATTENDED PERFORMANCE 2614....THE SIXTH ANNIVERSERY OF THE PENULTIMATE PRODUCTION.
THE DAMN THING STARTED RIGHT ON TIME EXACTLY HAS IT HAS THE 3 TIMES I HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE.....THATS ONLY ONCE EVERY 18 MONTHS AND NOW THE END IS NEAR.....I NEED TO PICK UP THE PACE.
MY STANDARD LINE HAS BEEN HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO KNOW THAT I CAN WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND GO 4 MILES TO SEE THIS SHOW...NO MORE.
EVERYTHING PERFECT ON THIS ANNIVERSARY NIGHT...MAYBE THE TIME BETWEEN SHOWS MAKES ME APPRECIATE IT MORE.....ESPECIALLY THE PRODUCTION.
WITH THE OPENING OF THE SMITH CENTER AND ALL THEIR BRAGGING ABOUT THEIR SOUND SYSTEM.....THEY ARE ON NEPTUNE COMPARED TO THE VENETIAN THEATRE FOR THE PHANTOM...SALUTE...MICK POTTER SOUND DESIGN....SALUTE MARTIN LEVAN ORIGINAL SOUND DESIGN....
THIS RUNS 99 MINUTES AND INCLUDES EVERYTHING ANYONE WOULD WANT IN A SHOW...NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS TALENT...SALUTE ANTHONY CRIVELLO THE PHANTOM...SALUTE ANDREW RAGONE AS RAOUL AND SALUTE KRISTI HOLDEN AS CHRISTINE.... YOU ALL ARE ONLY SENSATIONAL AS ARE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE SHOW.
I REMAIN EXTEMELY PARTIAL TO THE PHANTOM AND THE MUSIC....THE STAGING AND TIMING JUST EXQUISITE ON THIS NIGHT...AS I AM SURE IT IS ON NIGHTS I AM NOT THERE.
WHO ON EARTH DOES NOT KNOW THE STORY OR PLOTLINE FOR THIS ?
MY FRIEND SUE JOINED ME IN SEEING THE PHANTOM FOR THE FIRST TIME AND MOST FIRST TIMES ARE REALLY A HOOT....IT WAS FOR HER..... SHE WAS OVERWHELMED AND I WAS TOO.
THIS MUST BE THE PERFECT THEATRE PRODUCTION...IT HAS ITS TRACK RECORD TO PROVE IT.
AFTER THE SHOW, CRIVELLO ADDRESSED THE AUDIENCE ...THANKING THEM FOR THEIR PATRONAGE AND INVITING US TO SEE AGAIN SOON....I KNOW ONE OLD ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER THAT WILL ACCEPT THE INVITATION.
