[SML] Phantom of the Opera

Just wanted to give kudos to the crew on the Phantom tour.  I caught the performance last Friday at the Academy of Music in Philly.  I forgot to check if anyone here was on that tour.  I did wind up with a backstage tour and was impressed.  A lot going on automation wise.  Very impressive if you get a chance to see it.  Heard that there is an 8 hour paint call every Friday to keep the show looking great.  Looks like a lot of work but it played beautifully.  I am not a huge fan of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s shows but can appreciate them for their music, costumes, set, and the extravaganza!
