Well Preserved Phantom Returns to Los Angeles

I will say upfront that I have never been a great fan of Phantom. I have always found it hokey in part, even though it has pretty music and some dazzling effects.

BroadwayGirlNYC: Don't Listen to This

Show tunes are inherently catchy, and that's what makes us love them so much. In fact, it's what inspires us to hit the 'repeat' button and listen to the same cast album, or sometimes even one particular song, over and over and over.
