The set was impressive, and all the performers had great voices. Of course, it had Andrew Lloyd Webber’s beautiful Phantom of the Opera score, so that immediately makes me really like it. I was excited because yay, it’s Phantom, but I was also cautious, wondering what to expect – if I would still leave the theater with that same sense of amazement I’d become accustomed to when seeing the show performed live. I looked forward to the day of the show with mixed feelings of anticipation and curious trepidation. I splurged and got front-row tickets for the 8 o’clock show for Friday night, November 2nd, 2018, so that I could see everything in minute detail. In fact, I bought them the day they went on sale. I bought my tickets months in advance when I found out the show was coming to TPAC in Nashville. Still, I was reserving my final verdict until I saw the “reimagined” version myself. I saw some YouTube videos of the changes and wasn’t too impressed with them. Yes, it’s the same music, and the storyline is pretty much the same, but there have been some tweaks to some wording, movements, the set and so on. No longer does the same version that’s shown on Broadway (thank God the original is still shown on Broadway) and that was originally designed by Maria Bjornson tour across the United States. As most Phans know, there have been many changes to the US tour production of The Phantom of the Opera.
