Phantom of the Opera
Paid $147 [inclusive of $2 SISTIC surcharge] for the Broadway show, Phantom of the Opera. It was the most expensive tickets I’ve paid, for any show at all, I’m surprised I would spend so much money on some visual experience, but it was worth every cent of it.
Got to sit at the first row at the Esplanade Theatre [went with my CPF ex-colleague, Hwee Peng], the row which many people would come forward to, during the interval, to take a look at the musicians right below our feet. :p
It was quite a cool thing, that the conductor was the only linkage between the musicians and the performers.
Photography wasn’t allowed in the theatre because of Intellectual Property Copyright, but still, I took this photo of the theatre before everything began. The cloth was covering the giant chandelier, which was supposed to be lifted up [right above our heads!] to the top of the theatre hall.
The photo above is the chandelier, after being pulled up to the top of the ceiling.
I’m still thinking of whether to buy that musical box at $28, which plays Angel of Music [I think] or Music of the Night. But it’s not the wound-up type of musical box, it is those type where you would need to manually ‘wind’ it continuously for the sounds to be played. 
The main reason of why I went for the show, was because I loved the songs we sang in Choir almost a decade ago [OMFG, I didn't know I graduated so long ago!]. When the songs were being sung, it felt so nice, so warmth, it was as though I was transported back to my Choir days. Missed them so much. :/
Love the lake scene, where Christine was being brought to the dungeons of the Phantom. It was kind of sad, in a way, to know that Phantom liked Christine so much, and when the latter kissed the former, he was so stunned, and in the end he let her and Raoul go. P/S: The guy playing Raoul is so cute!! :p
People, you have till 20th May to catch this show in Singapore.
