angel of music

a much needed and anticipated outing to watch the phantom of the opera on tuesday night with bean, li, xizhen, xuan and ryan, where we ran into brenda and her bf too =)

it was such an amazing production. the set and costumes i felt were comparable to the mary poppins show i watched in london 2yrs ago. the singing was amazing, i was constantly awestrucked by the voice ranges of the actors. the phantom was phenomenal, he really brought the character to life for me, and i was sooo sad for him at the end when christine rejected him, though he was pretty scary during the whole of it before that. i jumped so many times and like closed my ears (which i always do when im scared) during the show hahaha because of random loud noises and pyrotechnics. quite cool really, im just a scaredy cat.

i guess the only thing i wld grouse about was that 1. some idiot kept trying to call me during the first act, 6 missed calls i think, and when i called back during the intermission thinking that there was some emergency, turned out to be a wrong number. i was SO pissed because the stupid caller just took away from the magic of some of the most amazing songs of the show sighs. 2. i didnt really knw the story, so it took a little bit of figuring out, and 3. we were seated rather far away, all the way up in circle 2 but that didnt matter larh i already paid $97 for my ticket haha. ohwells.

i loved loved loved it. phantom of the opera songs on repeat on my itunes these days =)
