It should be noted that this is NOT the infamous musical of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
All in all it was a bit "campy"- filmed live in a Florida theater, I believe. The score is not very impressive, but the actors voices are good quality. The storyline follows truer to the novel of Gaston Lerouxwith a few liberties here and there. The character of the Daroga is in this version, much to the delight of Leroux fans! If you see this movie, you will probably not that some song titles- like "Spirit of Music"- are similar to ALW, but keep in mind that there aren't too many synonyms for phrase "angel of music."
Rent it or buy if you you consider yourself a die-hard "Phan" or if you want a little change from the ordinary.
