Recently I had the absolute privilege of experiencing two of the most continuous spinetingling hours of my life.
My husband and I were totally enveloped by the amazing performance of Phantom of the Opera at the Laycock Street Theatre presented by Curtain Bounce.
The performance was brilliant from start to finish and was definitely the best I have ever seen.
The stage setting was intriguing, and when the 40-piece orchestra first entered and took up the majority of the stage I thought that I would be enjoying a live orchestral version of one of my favourite shows with vocals and minimal action.
But no!
What followed was some of the most creative and outstanding theatre that I have ever seen.
There were absolutely no weak moments in the performance, and it is unbelievable that the vast majority of the cast are Coasties.
I cannot single out anyone as being better or weaker than anyone else.
This show was better than any professional performance that I have seen anywhere.
World class and outstanding – congratulations to everyone involved.
