I went to see the Phantom of the Opera on Thursday night at the Princess of Wales theatre. I never saw it during its first run in Toronto when I was a kid, so I guess I am making up for lost time. It was reasonably entertaining although I am surprised that they are able to charge such a high price and fill the seats for an old show; maybe there were a lot of people like me. It was clearly dated, most notably when they had 80s New Wave beats beneath some of the songs and a lead character by the name of Christine. Phantom of the Opera 2007 should have a main character named Madison instead.
