Chandelier Rises Again on Broadway

[@batman5224]

I’m not a fan of most musicals, but Phantom truly is a masterpiece of musical theater. The nature of the story lends itself so well to theatrical mesmerization. I was lucky enough to see the show in 2012, the year Hugh Panaro played the Phantom.

[@Hailstonepie]

Try "Little shop of horrors" thats a musical too, soon have you converted lol.

[@sugarbear1965]

Plants?? Do not compare! To the phantom!!!!

[@elphbwckd212]

It's funny because most die hard musical fans hate this show, while most no musical fans love it. It's weird.

[@koreaboo2573]

@@sugarbear1965 how bout we just stop comparing shows.

[@koreaboo2573]

@@elphbwckd212 from my perspective, yeah some really REALLY hate this show. But I also think that for some its the whole thing of like Phantom being a little overrated, taking the spotlight off of a lot of shows that also deserve some spotlight. They hate the attention it gets, not really the show itself.

[@FletcherFinance]

April of 2023, it comes down for the last time and leaves Broadway. Little more than a year after coming back.

[@Thebelladonnabelle]

FINALLY. The phantom has returned. The Phantom of the opera is there... Back in the theater-

[@JamesWilliams-rp4ll]

Ghosts, spectres, and phantoms, by their nature, can never die. Chandeliers might break, but, they too, can be replaced. And through a period of desolation, where the unsung voices echoed silently in our minds and in our hearts, the Phantom still prowled Broadway, the West End, theatres across the globe. And now is the time for his glorious return. The chandelier rises, and with it, the Phantom conducts the orchestra of the spheres once again. And we, more than ever, will listen to the music of the night. To the Opera Ghost, welcome back.

[@dixondavies]

What a beautiful posting. Thank you.

[@lisa-mariegray5510]

Yep, I'm crying. Happy tears! He's back!!!

[@foreignparticle1320]

Still the most thrilling moment in live theatre: the stage lights flash, the frenzied chromatic overture sparks, and the crumpled faux-crystal beast throws off its aged shroud and lurches forward, rebirthed in blazing ecstasy, to take possession of its audience. It's easy to get addicted.

Hearing this melody again, seeing the chandalier rise again after what fwlt forever, all of it is just so incredibly beautiful and magical. Welcome back phantom, we missed you. 💕

Got to see the reopening last night! It is still every bit as majestic as the theatre it's named after if not moreso. Welcome back to Broadway, Phantom!

This is the only reason I want to go to New York just to see this show live on stage! Never seen it live in person before, but listened to the 1986 London cast, 2004 movie, and the Royal Albert Hall celebration many times

[@kensmith2796]

I just visited NYC. I hadn't been for 30 years and never attended a Broadway show before. I've seen live theater in other cities and was never impressed. Decided to buy a ticket to the Phantom just to get the whole New York experience. I bought the cheap seat tickets and wasn't expecting much, but I ended up loving it and hope I can see it again before it leaves Broadway.

[@bellasalceies4138]

@@kensmith2796 My Uncle's been a huge Phantom fan since he was in high school. Saw the show around a hundred times and he made his own Red Death costume. I don't know how long ago he made it, but he's in the process of redoing it. He's also collected stage pieces for his collection

[@kensmith2796]

@@bellasalceies4138 That's really cool. If I get to see the show again I will probably spend more money to get better seats so that I can see the actors and costumes in better detail than balcony seating. I hope you get a chance to go!

My wife and I got married back in Jan. of 2021, but we had to postpone our honeymoon until this December due to obvious reasons...

This is the only place to see the original production. London now has a cut down version to save money.

@@1pureboy1 No, correction: to make Cameron Mackintosh MORE money. He's a billionaire; he's not hurting for funds. He could have kept it as lavish and iconic as it was. He didn't. That was his choice, and it's a mockery of the masterpiece that the show truly is.

It still gives me chills when you hear the organ music begins and then seeing the chandelier begin to rise.

[@blissinchains]

@@williammclean5897 If they mess with the costumes or wigs, or the set--they will hear it from fans. If they try and fire all the backstage crew, their unions will have a legal field day. If they try and fire the current cast and replace it entirely with the cast of the last restaged tour, even better for the unions and the lawyers. They can't touch too much in Broadway without a massive backlash. People have seen London and aren't impressed. I hope that holds. Otherwise they might as well axe all costumes and just make it a glorified concert like Les Mis.
