Reviews from Cape Town
"Spectacular. This production is gigantic. The costume design has to be seen to be believed. It is robust and it bristles with energy and zeal. The voices raise the roof … Christine and Raoul's very popular "All I Ask of You" had the tears flowing. It is an operatic feast. I predict this one to be a sell-out." Astrid Stark – Cape Times
"'n Vyfster-'Phantom' … daar was net fantasie wat oorgeloop het in werklikheid, van die ouverture se orrelnote opgeklink het tot met die sak van die slotgordyn. Die hele produksie van The Phantom of the Opera bly asemrowend - dit maak nie saak hoeveel keer 'n mens dit sien nie." Mariana Malan – Die Burger
"The Phantom of the Opera is undoubtedly one of the most delightfully extravagant shows of the past few decades, and to be swept up into its lavish embrace is pure joy. From the roof of the Opera House to the labyrinth and lake below, no details has been spared. We're unlikely to see a production of this magnitude within the foreseeable future. If you are going to see only one show this decade, make it this one." Daily Ions – whatsonincapetown.com and artslink.co.za
"Great verve and spirit. This extravagant production tells a universal story everyone can relate to. The Phantom steals the show … his rendition of 'The Point of No Return' during the Don Juan Triumphant scene is mesmerising. Twenty-five years of the same production could become stale, but the three leads make this version enchanting in the best sense of the word. Theresa Smith – Cape Argus
"From opening number to final curtain, the cast had the entire audience spellbound with their performance. I cannot explain enough in the short amount of words I have how important it is that you see this show. It's a "classic" and everyone needs to see a production of this scale and magnitude in a theatre to show them just how wonderful and mesmerising it can be. Do yourself a favour and book now; you will kick yourself if you miss this one. It's the kind of production that rekindles the desire to watch theatre, or starts one in those that have never been before." Rory Berry – yoursoapbox.co.za
"Boy, does this 'Phantom' ever deliver. The level of professionalism was just staggering. What a fabulous advertisement for the talent we have right on our doorstop that we too often take for granted. The whole thing has the feeling of being done completely right. As much as huge entertainments can often swallow one whole, along with its casts, this one is more inviting than overwhelming." Peter Tromp – The Next 48 Hours
"You know a production is good when it renders you speechless. When the production is the multi award-winning and long-running musical The Phantom of the Opera, there is only one word for it … spectacular! From the chandelier being brought to life and the quick set changes to the unbelievable scenery of the Phantom's lair as he and Christine sing The Phantom of the Opera, it is a visual and aural fest like no other, and surpassed all my expectations. If you're not a theatre lover yet, you definitely will be after seeing this show. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's legendary masterpiece is a must-see! Don't delay, book your tickets now."
