3/17 Is the SF rendition of the "Phantom of the Opera" worth
seeing? - curious
\_ For god's sake, it's Andrew Lloyd Webber. Spend your money
on some real theatre.
\_ As long as it's not the understudies. They weren't very good.
\_ SF's Phantom is not even worth $5 to see. Forget it -disappointed
\_ Agreed. Yet I was the only one who remained seated at the end.
It was the most wholly undeserved standing O I've ever seen.
\_ So I'm assuming you're comparing it to some other production,
say the Broadway version.
\_ Or the LA version with Michael Crawford
\_ When they took out the pliers and the blow torch, I said,
sheeet! They are going medeival on the Phantom and
and it's gonna get nasty. I left just when the screaming
started. Worst $1.75 I ever spent.
\_ Don't bother seeing *anything* in SF. I have yet to see anything
that I didn't leave feeling ripped off at any price. It's a loss
of time even when the tickets are free.
\_ Come see my shows. at least they're cheaper.
and often we're better. -- scotsman
\_ This applies to many a city. What do you expect in SF? Its
No. 1 industry is tourism. |
