There is enough humour in The Phantom of the Opera to make it not too intense. This is the case from the very start (in fact, the opening of the show may be my favourite bit of it altogether), when a chandelier in unveiled that kick-starts the story whilst the orchestra bursts into one of the most well-known scores in musical theatre. The songs don't drag at all if you know the music, you will find yourself looking forward to each of the songs, and will discover that they are always over too fast. The pace of Phantom is also extremely impressive. The general ambience of the show is fantastic, with enough variety to keep ther audience interested throughout.

From start to finish, we are drawn into the emotions of the principal characters, and kept just slightly tense. The Phantom of the Opera is an extremely engaging show. The Phantom's obsession with Christine intensifies as she falls in love with another man, Raoul ( Nadim Naaman), and the whole opera house becomes involved in a tangled tale of romance, illusion, and music. recreation.The Phantom of the Opera, for those of you who don't know the show, follows the story of Christine Daaé ( Celinde Schoenmaker) and a mysterious Opera Ghost and musical genius ( Ben Forster).
