Yep....

Mrs Tools and I took Sub to see Phantom....

Spectacular set and special effects.. Who says that the lowly Sub can't get a bit of culture... I recommend it highly....

Fantastic opera!

I saw it in London when it had its premiere long time ago! Very impressive stage set-up, I must say! I remember the chandelier flying from the roof close above our heads. Whoa, that was awesome!

Larry,
I seem to remember a pic of you and your lovely wife in formal attire. Was the opera a black tie affair?

You know, there was a time in Vegas where they wouldn't let you through the doors without a jacket on...

But, I'm afraid those days are gone.... I think that standard tourist attire is now baggy cargo shorts and a bad-taste T-shirt..

I had on a Sport Coat and Pam was wearing a short waisted Mink Jacket.... We were some of the better dressed patrons there...

You don't appreciate the movie until you've seen the musical. This May, I am taking my little girls (9 & 7) to see Annie. I think I am more excited that they are, as this was the first major Broadway musical that I saw, way back in my youth.

My wife and I have seen "Phantom" in Toronto, Canada, London, England and Columbus, Ohio. Never tire of it! Have the DVD and occasionally watch it at home. Andrew Lloyd Webber is a genius!

timackerman · 9 March 2008, 03:42 AM

I have herd good things about the musical and have been wanting to see it.

You chose a good companion to join you there!

We went to see Sleeping Beauty a month or so back. We made the effort nice suit & matching Rollie's. Some of the patrons made no effort, kinda took the edge off the occasion for Mrs F. Can't beat a DJ & Rollie Combo.

Thomas · 9 March 2008, 05:04 AM

Did you have to buy 3 tickets??

lildragon · 9 March 2008, 05:45 AM

I'd love to see Phantom. Besides my wife, I don't know who to take? LV or PEPSI? =-)

IMHO it appears that in the US we are a very casual society. Weddings, funerals, theater etc, people don't dress for the occasion. I'm not saying this to be snobby, it is an observation that many of you reading this know is true.

Didn't mean to hijack this thread Larry, but DRESS or Behavior in public is a peeve of mine.

Hey Larry, did you remember to bring your beer in CANS instead of bottles?

I was worried the cans would set off the metal detectors.............

Thanks for the recommendation Larry. We are going to the Broadway production with some friends who are coming to the city at the end of the month. Maybe I will try to give my SD some culture.

mdx77 · 9 March 2008, 11:32 AM

Speaking of recomendations......a few weeks back went to see Whistle Down the Wind also by Andrew Lloydd Webber.......absolutely amazing production!!!! I also was dumbfounded when the guy sitting in front of me had on jeans and a T-shirt????? Has it been that long since I've been to a show????? Thought it was very uncouth!

dbanaga · 9 March 2008, 11:41 AM

Phantom of the Opera is one of my favorites. Saw it some years back. Would love to go see it again.

So glad you enjoyed it! Never got to see it myself. One of the big..."wish I could do this in my lifetime" was to see 'Les Miserables" and that didn't happen either.

Must have been a great experience!!!

Art 1 · 9 March 2008, 12:52 PM

Lots of Subs to be seen at the opera.

Phantom was playing here in Toronto several years back and the lead was played by Paul Stanley from KISS, he did are magnificent job.
Well worth seeing again and again.
