The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall also available on instant Netflix is the 25 year anniversary of the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic. It is a filmed musical version of the musical, not a movie based on the musical. It includes the entire show, with a bit extra at the end. The love triangle of the Phantom (Ramin Karimloo), Christine (Sierra Boggess) and Raoul (Hadley Fraser) is classic. In this presentation Christine is as close to perfection as you can get. The Phantom and Raoul are a bit less than perfect. I thought the Phantom had a tendency to go sharp, and this presentation is based on the music. The most gruesome part is the tenor hanging from the rafters. The falling chandelier was not very well done. Just pyrotechnics and no falling.
