Last week I went to see Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre, Haymarket. It wasn't the first time I’d seen it. Whilst I find the music interesting and melodic (albeit commercial), I think the overall production has become a little bit of a parody of itself. Over the top, lush and sickly sweet. But then again maybe that’s what the tourists want. I shan’t be going again.
