Adequate Follow Up to "Phantom" Masterpiece
by Persepolis on 10/11/17Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - BaltimoreGustav and Christine were cast well. The boy was charming and endearing and hit all his marks. Christine sounded wonderful and carried the character well. Singing the title song towards the end was a definite highlight. Good job. The Phantom was a close second. The story line was kind of hokey and really only served as a vehicle for song, which is fine. Baltimore Hippodrome is an excellent venue. Only downside was people showing up late, sometimes 30 minutes after the curtain came up. Excellent production with the show making good use of the rotating stage.
