Phantom Of The Opera
So, I saw the award winning movie in 2004 and I loved it. Our dentist recommended we go and see the the musical playing at the Venetian in Las Vegas. So, we purchase the tickets on-line. We get a seat for Ian that will accomodate his bad knee. We show up at the theatre which looks like the inside of an old Opera House. Being that the theatre is not full, Ian gets the brillant idea of asking for better seats. The usher is willing to accomodate us but state we have to wait until the show is about to begin to make sure that assigned seats have already been taken. Right before the show is about to begin she waives us down to seats that are in the front row of a section that has a short wall in front of us, but no people directly in front of us. We sit there for about a minute, but Ian realizes that he is getting a little claustrophic because we were no longer on an aisle and he didn’t have an easy exit. His bad knee would prevent him from jumping over the wall, so he wanted to move again. The show is now about to begin, and I do not want to make any more disturbances that we already had, so I didn’t want to move again. To make a long story short, I ended up sitting where I was sitting, while Ian moved to a few rows behind me. Needless to say, it was an odd performance for both of us to watch. I don’t know if any of us enjoyed it that much.
There was nothing wrong with the performance itself, but I think I did prefer the movie.
Tickets can be purchased at the Venitian site.
