That night when the chandelier rose once again, the crowds went wild! I'm lucky enough to be at the opening night and will remember that day forever!

[@Tymala1]

I couldn’t be more jealous!

I am very happy for you, my fellow Phantom Phan!

I was lucky enough to have a seat at this premiere, very close to the stage. It was such a wonderful experience. You could really feel that everybody was playing their heart out! Thank you!!!

When I was 18, I went to London from Japan to watch this show, all by myself. Those were brilliant and unforgettable days. And I’m so happy to hear that Phantom reopened finally. I’m looking forward to the day when I will be able to watch this show again in Her Majesty’s Theatre.

Every single part of this musical, specially The Music of The Night, makes me cry of happiness everytime... they were all amazing actors. It's aways possible to feel all the feelings and emotions, this story, this musical, changed my life forever ❤️

It truly brought tears to my eyes when I saw the livestream of the final bow and it was absolutely beautiful 🥺 I have always dreamed of playing Christine and now that I'm 17 I wish for it more and more and Lucy is such a big inspiration for me 🥰

[@lutherbuckhurst3887]

we went last Monday, third row seats. it was amazing, so brilliant, so emotional, I welled up with tears at the end. The acting, singing, music all top class. The applause at the end with a standing ovation lasted for ages and when the phantom (Killian) took a bow it was off the scale. I'm welling up now with emotion. All the staff at her majesty's theatre were polite, classy and helpful, the door staff , bar staff, Ice cream seller, gifts seller, everyone. Thank you so much for a wonderful unforgettable evening.

We NEED a recording from this production!! Everyone was amazing to see live, and Lucy St. Louis stole my heart especially. I know she will go down as one of the best Christines to have ever played! Her voice and acting is breathtaking and she embodies Christine!

I am ABSOLUTELY BEYOND EXITED to be coming to see the show in November 😍😍😍 thank you for bringing this back and allowing me this opportunity to see the one opera that I have wanted to see for over 10 years now as I though I wouldn't be able to after seeing the announcement that it was going to stop production, but you have brought my dream back and I'm taking this opportunity. You all look amazing. I cant wait!

[@chanteuse-ro3kf]

I would love to see this wonderfull show again.

[@ikathiggs13]

I watched this Monday (tickets were a 21st birthday gift), and the alternate Christine was on. Although I wished I could have seen Lucy, the show was still so magnificent and I cried just from hearing the music start at the beginning...Killian was simply incredible, and Christine's alternate was amazing too! I could go on and on about it but overall I'm just so, so glad that Phantom is back and that I was able to see it. I'd have gone back the next day just to see it again if I was able to

[@kimatkins3490]

I saw this three weeks ago, so wonderful

[@melc8388]

[@Kasey.Walker]

I saw this the Tuesday just gone and my word it was amazing! I've always loved POTO but seeing it again with the new show was fantastic. I was sat in the middle of the stalls and the chandelier was almost close enough to touch during the prologue and very close at the fall!

[@sammybabi]

Went last night and it was spectacular!

[@Martin-id4xp]

Absolutely brilliant show. Whole cast are electric. Well done one and all 👍

[@sophiawelker800]

I would die if I got to stand next to Andrew Lloyd Webber. This is my dream! I hope to be up there someday. I’m so glad that they have Lucy St. Louis and all of these amazing actors and singers performing it now for people. They definitely set the bar high. I hope to at least get close to this. This is definitely a dream come true for her. I love hearing her experience and other Christine’s who started out like me, a girl with a dream. It gives me hope and faith that someday, that could possibly be me. People like Lucy St. Louis and Sierra Boggess make me want to work even harder because they help me to see what it takes to do this role, a role I have been wanting to do for since I was four years old. Amazing job to everyone in the cast and crew. I wish I could have seen it with my own eyes but even small clips like this never fail to amaze me. Sending love and support to all Broadway actors and actresses. 🖤🥀

Dear Andrew and Cameron, I am so proud of you and all the creative team. Well done Killian Donnelly for your dreams coming true, and congratulations to all the cast for what I’m sure was an incredible unforgettable evening. Love, Jeff Leyton.

[@noahluhtjarv7110]

Everyone should be thanked except for Cameron. He made ridiculous changes to the Chandelier, procenium, lyrics, and made the orchestra insanley smaller! Remember the iconic angel that used to be at the top of the procenium? Well guess what, thats gone! The chandelier is also different. He took Maria's original design's and threw them away. The cast is amazing, but these changes suck!

How shit is the 14 person orchestra? Probably sounds like an elementary school production now.

[@blissinchains]

It sounds muted and empty. Woodwinds reduced, harpist eliminated.

[@philreynoldsmusic3033]

It’s an absolute disgrace, but sadly the way things have been going in west end pits for years (less so on Broadway I believe?). Billionaire producers that only really care about their bottom line and not about their cast/creatives (I have seen this from the inside for 30 years). A recent MD Symposium featuring many of the worlds top MDs and supervisors all said the same (so it’s not just me). That includes those responsible for the biggest shows of the past 40-50 years on stage and on film/audio.

[@graceherbert348]

It sounds fine.

[@blissinchains]

So, it's the restaged tour. 🙄 Bring back all the old wigs, the crew you cut, the doubles for the title song, the proscenium, the angel, the chandelier... and bring back every single musician and ensemble member you fired callously over ZOOM. Maybe then I'll consider seeing it. Phillip Griffiths was with you for over 30 YEARS. SHAME ON YOU.

[@philreynoldsmusic3033]

Completely agree.

[@noahluhtjarv7110]

I agree. I cannot believe that Andrew let him do this. And Maria would NEVER let him change her designs.

@@rebekahsegun8319 Yeah no, honey. It's the garbage tour chandelier. Not Ruthie I. :')

[@noahluhtjarv7110]

Why did they have to change the chandelier, and the procenium??? The original was perfect, Cameron Mackentosh has gone too far!

[@user-db7ox2kj4l]

Nope. It didn't return. The original production was butchered and closed. This is not THE Phantom of the Opera. It's a phantom of what it was.

[@bc8463]

Interesting isn't it how the lead role for the 'best show in the west end' feels the need to point out the amount of melanin present in her skin: if you were the best voice at audition it shouldn't matter should it? Unless of course there is some other agenda here? A new version of a franchise (that has grossed more cash than star wars), has deviated. No longer needing to be historically accurate manipulating certain characters for no apparent reason. If this is an effort to update and 'woke out' the whole show perhaps the phantoms disfigurement (his disability; which i hasten to add is the root for his exile and apparent madness) should be revealed. Should a modern production not also incorporate a body positive attitude? and if so why is it hiding a scar? Cameron Mackintosh are clearly struggling for cash; laying off all their staff during lockdown. The reduction in orchestra was a mistake. Clearly short of quality staff in the make up department too; there are a lot of very good MUA out there who can blend in a bald cap better than this. brilliant show, but not the same.

[@seattlesusieq6945]

"Interesting isn't it how the lead role for the 'best show in the west end' feels the need to point out the amount of melanin present in her skin: if you were the best voice at audition it shouldn't matter should it?" Well, given that the "amount of melanin present in her skin" would have *disqualified* her from even auditioning over the years, yeah, I'd say it's a big deal.
