POTO Movie Soundtrack — Page 2

It might have been in talks of closing, but now since the movie came out, the show will surely stay open for awhile longer.
They expect the movie, like Chicago did, to boost ticket salses at POTO, so I'm sure they're in fine shape.

"And I can assume whatever the hell I want kec. Half of what people write on here is opinion and assumption - that's what discussion boards are for. We'll see in 6 months how many people haven't reverted back to the OLCR. "

I don't presume to make statements on behalf of people I don't know. If you want to do so, go right ahead. You do not speak for me, however.

I loved MIchael Crawford in the role when I saw it on Broadway, and he's always been my favorite Phantom. When I listened to the OLCR recently while on a long car trip, for the first time in a very long time, though, I found I wanted to hear Butler's deeper voice coming out of my car speakers.

Butler may not mesmerize you, but his voice seems to be working for a lot of other people -- at least according to the reviews I've read. I grant you his singing isn't perfect, but, in my opinion, he is by no means as bad as you seem to think he is. His voice works for me. Obviously it doesn't work for you. Differing opinions.

As far as the stage show is concerned, I read somewhere that tickets sales for the London production have picked up a bit since the film opened over there last week. It may work here as well.

The guy who plays the phantom sounds familiar. How would one knwo him. Has he ever done anything? Just wondering.

And I like the soundtrack. I think it makes Phantom a little moer harsh and not so whinny like Michael Crawford whom I cannot stand.

I wasn't expecting much from the actors... so I was pleasantly surprised. I think Emmy does a great job for someone who was 17 at the time. I'd much rather listen to her than Renee Zellweger's sad excuse for singing in "Chicago."
