The Phantom of the Opera is one of the most loved opera dramas of all time. Andrew Lloyd Webber produced an absolute masterpiece that will continue to create sure ratings and wage for the next 200 years. It started as a novel and then hit the big screen before showing up on actual stage.
Bringing this show to Vegas was not an easy task at all. The Venetian picked up The Phantom of the Opera and changed the name to Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular. Their first order of firm was renovating the theater to make it look the Palais Garnier, the famed 2,200-seat Paris opera house.
Phantom ultimately reunites Webber with Hal Prince, the show's director, and Gillian Lynne, choreographer. The trio transformed Phantom into a 95-minute thrill ride that will highlight every song from the original production. As far as over-the-top "Vegas" goes, this show is pretty tame.
