This was probably the worst show I have ever seen lmao. I did see it again in 2023 but this one was so bad… The staging was pretty stupid in my opinion. There was a scene where someone was killed by something falling from the ceiling and watching the prop get lowered with strings slowly onto the actor was honestly a little bit ridiculous. The female lead is an insanely good singer, and the male lead is also a very talented and legendary actor in the industry. The second male lead however, was a HORRIBLE singer. I was lowkey cringing the whole time they were singing; it was honestly kind of miserable to have to sit through that. The plot was essentially Phantom but like. worse LOL like they really thought they did something there. The dancing was also atrocious LIKE it was hard to look at them and take them seriously because it was so bad. I think having big names in the cast made people excited for the production, but the production itself turned out to be horrible.
