Went to the phantom on 3/24/09. we sat in row q seats 29/30 right in the center. great view, great show. it was very entertaining.good luck:):)

My wife and I are both "Phantom fans" having seen at least five different productions. This production at the Venetian was without question very disappointing. In short both the Phantom Lead and Christine were mediocre at best and seemingly dialed in their performances. We had no connection to either of these performers. We thought that maybe it was our own problem on that nite, however even the rest of the audience gave very token applause throughout the play and even for the curtain call.

Of course the staging itself and the costumes were indeed spectacular and that is why I give it two stars.

Save your $$ (we coughed up $330 for 2nd row) and spend it on something else.

Let me begin by saying I have just gotten back from a 7 day vacation stay in Vegas and every night I hit a different show with my wife.
Phantom by far exceeded my expectations. The theatre was stunning. The opening of the performance with the chandeliers was breathtaking. The actors are a group of people that not only have a lot of chemistry with one another, but each of them is an extremely talented person with great ranges and each deserves their individual attention on stage.
To a surprise this was also the only show during the week that we saw that got a full audience standing ovation. This says a lot in itself considering we saw the best shows on the strip not to mention 4 CDS shows.
This is top notch, don’t be fooled, make sure you go!

*Mike voted the show #3 out of 6 shows
*The Wife Voted show #1 out of 6 shows

I had seen Phantom in Toronto several years ago, and was excited to see it again. I got an amazing deal on front row seats from travelzoo.com and was not disappointed! The theatre is absolutely beautiful and the details of the sets and costuming were fabulous. The production (although shorter than the original) was beautifully done. It is worth every penny to see this show. They do not allow any photography in the theatre at all.....not even to take a few pictures of the grand theatre itself. They are on top of you right away if they see a camera. As we were leaving the theatre, I turned my flash off and managed to sneak a few pictures as we were walking out. Remember to bring a sweater as it can get a bit chilly in the theatre. I would highly recommend seeing Phantom of the Opera!
