Before the show we went for dinner at Giraffe restaurant as I had £40 vouchers. The food was so yummy and the puddings were, well let me put it this way I think it is going to take me a week to burn off the calories!
After a short walk to the theatre we were let in and where we sat in the second row from the front, nice and close. The opening of the show was so funny and we were told that we could take photos and film if we wish and it was encouraged.
(see pics below)
The show was a mix of songs from musical theatre with a big section on the various versions of The Phantom of the Opera, including Love Never Dies, which is set 10 years after phantom, finally ending with The Phantom of the Opera.
The cast are all former members of the show, who have played The Phantom, Mr Earl Carpenter, Mr Stephen John Davis & Mr Matt Cammelle.
And no Phantom would be without his Christine and we were delighted to be in the presents of the great, wonderful and beautiful Rebecca Caine, who originated the role of Cosette in Les Mis and was also the Canadian Christine staring next to Colm Wilkinson.
My husband, not normally a musical fan, that's my thing, really enjoyed himself too. (quote from his twitter account: How refreshing to be entertained by real singers who know their craft! Really enjoyed tonights show @Three_Phantoms #autocorrectnotrequired)
As we were allowed to film I took this footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ0lu1B1vww of Stephen singing Mr Cellophane from Chicago.
I came away from the theatre buzzing after a funny and very very enjoyable show and I finally got to meet Stephen and Rebecca who I have chatted to on twitter. They were both very kind and possed for pictures with me. I so want to go again and the next time they are near where I live is two days after my birthday
