For the first time ever, Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera goes to Manila in order to give the Filipino audience a chance to experience the legendary and longest-running musical on Broadway. According to one of the show's producers James Cundall, since its launching last August 25 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), this theatrical masterpiece has received "massive" standing ovations every night and was well received and appreciated by the locals.
Due to the "overwhelming positive reception and popular demand," The Phantom of the Opera in Manila has been extended until October 14. To celebrate the Broadway classic's successful season here in the Philippines, the producers treated a few selected people from the press and social media to an exclusive press preview.
To those present, it was finally the chance to grab a seat a few meters away from the stage without paying for the hefty ticket price of more or less P7,000. Friends from the media were only shown excerpts of this musical but nevertheless, it was satisfying.
