Profile for phantom1978

My nephew, brother, and I absolutely loved the show from start to finish. You gotta go see it. Forget the critics!

Justin Cooley was the true star of this show. 

Saw it last night and really enjoyed. No standout songs but I laughed so hard. Totally enjoyable evening of theater. 

For me I think the story would be better served as a play. The music just wasn’t memorable. 

Seen 8 shows this week and this was our fave. So funny. 

Can't wait to see it next week!!!

NY Post says Phantom will be returning.

I've only go to see it once with Bette Midler and loved every moment of it.

Just booked it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I would hop on the train of & JULIET and KIMBERLY AKIMBO. If it’s late March, I would recommend giving WHITE GIRL IN DANGER at Second Stage a chance since the tickets are cheap right now and it’s a brand new original work"

Just booked tickets to & Juliet. Thanks.

Dollypop said: "I'm not being sarcastic here, but if PHANTOM means so much to you, why not see it more than once while your here? You may not get to see it in the same form ever again .I saw Bette Midler in Dolly five times in its closing week."

I am thinking about seeing it twice but honestly I have seen it over 80 times worldwide so I will probably just take in some new shows.

Flying out to NYC to see Phantom one last time and need suggestions for other shows to see. What’s good out there?

I’ve seen Hadestown, Six, Lion King, Aladdin, Book of Mormon, and Hamilton already. Thanks fellow Broadway fans. 

Thanks for all the replies. Wish they would post them like they do with the Christine alternates.

Coming to see Phantom over a weekend and wondered if he does all 3 shows? Thanks.

I am not a fan of his work or Katie's for that matter. Probably the worst principal casting I have even seen when it comes to Phantom. Was hoping to fly out to see it once Mann as gone. Neither one of them would make it on Broadway but on tour Cameron Mackintosh can skimp on quality.

Does anyone know who is set to replace Chris Mann at the end of November? I'm praying for someone with some talent.
