The Phantom of The Opera something or other...
The Phantom of the Opera is playing at The Paramount. I've never seen it before today. I was a volunteer usher at the matinee today. While the costumes are beautiful and the sets are gorgeous, I found the play to be kind of boring. I'm sure a large part of that is because I really couldn't understand the songs that well. I have three more shifts to do with the show. It could be worse I'm sure. It could be Oklahoma!. :) I thought the chandelier falling scene was supposed to be some big dramatic thing. It took so long for the chandelier to do its fall it wasn't dramatic at all. Could've been a stage glitch I suppose, but it definitely didn't strike me as exciting or anything.

Meaning, you couldn't understand the singers, or you couldn't make sense of what the lyrics meant? I think some of the songs are amazing, but there are a few I can do without.
I couldn't understand the singers. I also don't like that almost every single thing is sung. I listened more attentively this round and caught more of the songs but there were definitely several I couldn't understand... especially when a lot of the singers are singing at once.
