Have you seen it?

Is it as bad as the critics make out?

Thanks

Personally, I love it. Have done from the first preview I saw and the four times I've seen it since. I'd suggest you look at the Whats On Stage discussion board - Musicals - and see the huge amount of comments. It provokes comments - some love it, some hate it. I'd recommend it if you like your musicals dramatic. It's not soft and fluffy like Legally Blonde, or Pricilla.

I loved it aswell. I saw this one before the original Phantom and preferred this one. However, Sierra Boggess (Christine) has left now and I'm not sure what the new replacement is like. Ramin Karinloo's voice is amazing.

I think the show is fantastic. It is hugely spectacular and the music is wonderful. Although the story may be a little weak, you should be absolutely blown away by the Phantom (Ramin Karimloo). His rendition of 'Till I hear you sing' will almost certainly leave you yearning to hear him sing (for you) once more. I have seen it twice and shall be making 2 further jourrneys to London to see both Phantom and Love Never dies before Ramin leaves on September 3rd.

They are doing tickets cheap at the moment for this show (£35 top priced) cannot remember where.

Seen both the 'old' version and the new revised version and they were both outstanding..

I am biased as I love the music and I think it is ALW best since Phantom, the music is to die for.... 'Till I hear you sing is amazing. Christine singing the title song is breathtaking (athough have not seen the new girl do it yet)...

Some very good special effect (all during 'the beauty underneath').

Devil take the hindmost - VERY powerful. I cannor recommend this show enough...

As someone else has said though, this is not a soft show, it is a 'proper' musical lol.....

Well, I will not be able to see the show on 3rd September despite booking my tickets months ago.

They are upsetting a lot of people by closing the show on 27th August and the cast hadn't been told when it was leaked out by some gossip column.
Shame on you Really Useful Group.

Ditto - heartbroken it wasn't given the opportunity to last even just that one extra week! I had 3rd Sept ticket too. The last day is my husbands 50th birthday party. He's been a sweetie and I'll get to the matinee, at least. Very disappointing!

I am now hoping they may tour it around the UK. Would be a huge shame if it dissappeard into obscurity.

I have sent a 'complaint' to Really Useful Group asking them to consider postponing the closing date until 3rd September.
I won't hold my breath but I won't send the tickets back .... just yet.
