Phantom of the Opera

���You���re practically gushing!���

That was the comment my friend made because I could not stop singing praises about the musical (Phantom of the Opera) after we left the Esplanade.

I still can���t. Though I paid a hefty $122 for my ticket, I think that every single cent has been well spent. Man, I am enthralled. Captivated. Spellbound. I am totally mesmerized by the intensity of the Phantom���s voice and the quality of richness in Christine���s. Contrary to criticisms that her voice pales in comparison to Sarah Brighton���s, I think that last night, she shone unabashedly.

Their songs (Think of Me, All I Ask of You and Music of the Night) have become the music of my night.
