MY REVIEW
I have been a huge fan of The Phantom Of The Opera since I was a teenager. This one is very well done and it is fantastic for those who love The Phantom Of The Opera but can not go see it in person. The performance was fantastic, costumes and set was fantastic as well. This Blu-Ray I will be keeping and watch again when I am in the mood to watch this since I can not afford to go see it live at the moment. If you are a fan of The phantom Of The Opera then I highly recommend you get this one.
