Hi Gang,
I was just wondering how many of you are going (or planning) to attend Howard's last show as The POTO on 7/25? Having seen him 13 times, I have to be their. While his portrayal does not move me to tears as other "Phantoms" have, his singing voice is incredible.
I will go to see John Cudia when he starts as he was out when I tried to see him in CT at The Bushnell. His understudy, Tom Schumacher was NOT the best singer and could NOT hold the note at the end of "TMOTN", but he did move me to tears at the end of the show.
*Edited the title to include the last name.

I saw Schumacher as the Phantom on tour and hadn't witnessed so much whining since I was an elementary school TA.
And the person in question's last name is McGillin, for anyone who was wondering who this "Howard" person was.
