The Phantom Of The Opera Sings Again At The Arsht

There’s something interesting about seeing at the Arsht Center the same national tour of a 30-year-old warhorse like The Phantom of the Opera for the who-knows-which time.

On one hand, the review you are about to read accurately reflects the show even though it is about 70 percent what we wrote when the same tour came to the Broward Center for the fifth time in November 2014.

On the other, it is amazing that people who have performed show three hundred times since then – including the three leads – have not lost their edge as even the best professionals do over time. Instead, they have discovered all the colors and nuances possible in the work, and deliver them with confidence and brio.

And it should be underscored that this production is a completely overhauled edition retaining virtually nothing but the original costume design. More on that later.
