Just took the wife and kids to Phantom of the Opera in Houston this afternoon.  It was awesome.  That is all.

Saw it years ago with Robert Guillaume as the lead character. Loved it then.

I agree 100%...saw it in Denver a number of years ago.   My daughter says Le Mis is great, too.

I'm not too hip to musicals but I like the music in Phantom and it is one of my daughter's favorite movies of all time.  The scene changes were absolutely amazing and what they were able to do with the chandelier was really cool.

It was a surprise for my kids.  When my daughter finally figured out we were going to see Phantom instead of just a nice restaurant (as she was told) she said "Are we really going to see Phantom?"  When I told her we were she said "I think I'm going to cry."

LOL  It was great.

Mrs RC dragged me kicking and screaming years ago. I left the theater with 2 CDs, a poster and a coffee mug.

It was a very nice performance.
