Masquerade!
The Staging
I was stunned によって the staging because it was such a spectacular, colourful and whimsical, I also like how each scenes represent dark & light throughout the musical. It was like bringing the realism of what it's like of Palais de Garnier, on which the story is set.
One of my major disappointments was that I did not sit in front where the dramatic chandelier came crashing down during the end of the First Act, but I heard in the Australian production, it is even scarier compare to other productions depending on where あなた are staying.
The Songs
The songs are very memorable, but my favourites are 音楽 of the Night and Masquerade. The former was a romantic song that is overrated whereas the latter is very colourful and fun to watch!
I cried my ハート, 心 out at the ending when Christine ends with Raoul and the Phantom moans over it when he sang the lines 'It's over the 音楽 of the Night', poor Phantom that he has no happy ending.
The Characters
The characters themselves are very fun to watch, especially Carlotta and Piangi, I was very sad that the latter died after discovering that Don Juan is actually Phantom and I also feel bad for Carlotta as well despite her jealous tendencies.
As mentioned, I feel bad for the タイトル character because he needs 愛 and I wonder why he chase both Raoul and Christine out during the Final Lair scene.
The Costumes
Like the staging, the costumes also represent light & darkness throughout the musical. One thing exceptional is the Red Masque costume during the 仮面舞踏会 scene in which the Phantom wore, this is distinguish himself from the rest.
During the majority of the story, he wears a tuxedo and in Stranger Than あなた Dream It. He wears a Chinese ジャケット and hat, which is one of my favourite costume out of the musical.
Masquerade!
So far, this is all I can remember. I even have the full recording of it onto my iPod.
Your spirit and my voice!
I have seen T.P.O.T.O many times, and most of them have been the 25th anniversary performance. This performance is by-far my favorite. Ramin Kariloo is the BEST Phantom I have ever seen. Sierra Boggess is also the best Christine. Hadley Fraser is one of the best Raoul's I have seen. Even Meg and Madame Giry were fantastic. Carlotta was probably my least お気に入り actress. I enjoyed this performance so much better because the actors seemed like they were literally their characters. I hope あなた enjoyed this and あなた can watch the entire performance on youtube. Thanks!
