One of West End Frame's readers, Gary, recently saw the tour and wrote to us with his thoughts which he kindly agreed could be published:
"The anniversary tour production is amazing. Apart from the score and lyrics everything is different in a good way. It took me a small while to understand and get used to a different set, but it is spectacular... plus the Phantom dances! The cast were excellent. Simon Bailey, who plays Raoul, is just as wonderful as the first time I saw him play the part in London and Earl Carpenter as the Phantom is just fantastic.
I was very surprised with some of what happened, blink and you could miss bouquets hanging and the illusion at the end is stunning. Well done to all cast, crew and creatives."
