Day 6 - Phantom of the Opera


This is posted on behalf of students and teachers who were, in every sense of the word, haunted by it. 

"I still cannot believe until now that we had seen the musical. It is widely known internationally and needless to say, the musical was incredible....I am so blessed."
Nur Aquilah, 43

New York City was filled with widescreens and different blinding lights, the booming of the stereos. We rushed like the speed of cars into the Broadway theatre (Majestic).

Our first time at a musical, we were struck with awe as we saw the majestic architecture, which was a reflection of the musical itself. Amber lights and crimson seats, we soaked ourselves, guys sitting with class, girls sitting with poise. We readied ourselves for the musical.

As the lights started to dim, eventually dimming the theatre pitch-dark, a booming voice pulsated off the walls. The leads were dressed in elaborate costumes with intricate deigns. Their classically trained voices sent shivers down our spines. The props appeared on cue. The dedication and professionalism of the cast and crew were evident.

With such an enchanting performance, the students were engrossed. The chemistry between the leads, Christine and Raoul, was electrifying and had us on the edge of our seats, with eyes fixated on the stage, trailing after their every move.
