When watching a show, perhaps the most important factor is the stage how it looks and the purpose it serves. Breathtakingly high notes commanded the whole theatre’s attention and left me with goosebumps on my arms. It must also be said that if you ever get the pleasure of hearing the voices of Hull and Oda (or seeing this show on tour), you will not be left disappointed. The relationship between Christine and Meg was of particular importance, with the pair’s friendship being a familiar and warming sight to witness in the midst of tragedy and forthcoming misery. Humorous in some places, and tragic in others, every performer communicated their role with power and authority. The larger-than-life Carlotta created a stark contrast to the timid, yet strong-willed, Meg, while the Phantom’s presence sparked fear in everybody- from strait-laced Madame Giry, to the courageous heart of Raoul. Despite this certainly not being a large cast by any means, each character was portrayed with clarity, sophistication and charisma. The Broadway staging of the smash continues at Broadway's Majestic Theatre, having recently played its 7,000th performance.The principal cast was made up of Killian Donnelly as Phantom and Holly-Anne Hull as Christine Daaé, who performed alongside Francesca Ellis (Madame Giry), Matt Harrop (Monsieur Finn), Adam Linstead (Monsieur André), Saori Oda (Carlotta Giudicelli), Rhys Whitfield (Raoul) and Ellie Young (Meg Giry). The score includes such tunes as "Think of Me," "The Music of the Night," "All I Ask of You," "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," "The Point of No Return" and the title tune.
