I've never been an Andrew Lloyd Webber fan, principally because I hate "Phantom" so much, but this tape (which I only viewed to scout out clips for a theatre class I'm teaching) has converted me to at least a semi-fan. I thought the show enchanting, with awe-inspiring performances. Even the stunt casting of John Mills as Gus, the theatrical cat works. If they hadn't added some video effects that spoil the live-performance feel (and if the first act finale weren't so damned long), I'd consider it perfect. But it's still damned good, and I'm sure I'll be renting it several times.
