The London cast recording is definately the most incomplete recordings of all the non-highlight ones. That is very unfortunate because I love the London cast. Especially Roger Allam's portrayal of Javert - my favourite and no one has beaten it yet....although I do like Phillip Quast and Michael McCarthy.

That in turn shows that you are incredibly old-fashioned and need to "get with the times" as it were. Please do not start making personal comments - its not very nice.

There you go again! Prooves my point - you have been either gloomy, negative, incredibly sarcastic and unbearable. This thread started out so innocently congratulating Phantom and then you turned it into an argument. I think we can safely say that this thread is no longer a discussion.

Hello guys!
Why do you insist on topping any positive comments with negative on top of negative comments. Could I make one plea please that people lighten up a bit - why do you have to be gloomy?

But POTO isnt an "American" musical - its a worldwide one and very much celebrated - plus it started here right in sunny England. LOL.

Here is the original New York Times review of Phantom - it seems they didnt like it and hated Sarah Brightman - its quite funny!!!!!!! Wierd how one person can stop so many people seeing something.

Hello
In reply to your message: I have an inkling that the Phantom you saw was the standby: Richard Halton. Not lots of people are biiiig fans of him as he is usually in all the opera stuff rather than musicals. John Owen Jones is the usual Phantom and he is absolutely brilliant - I have seen him twice now and hes also an extremely nice guy all round. Im glad you went to see the 7000th performance - any speeches?? When I tried a standing ovation the people behind me got mad so I had to si

Well I can speak for London alone:
In London the show is still showing to sell-out audiences every single night - you are unable to get tickets at the weekends! Its still jsut as good as it ever was - if not better and still popular with the majority of audiences so it really doesnt matter what anyone thinks of it - its stable with funds and Mr Mackintosh is not thick enough to keep something open if it isnt making money. Notice Cats is back on a world tour and UK tour????? Hehe - well it
