music of the night

sooo ive been putting off blogging for some reason, so here I am again! about a week ago I went to las vegas for the first time with my grandparents, brother and cousins and we had a great time. lots of shopping and shows and walking. the most awesome thing we did was see phantom of the opera which was SO amazing! the cast was awesome and the set was the coolest thing ive ever seen!!!!
 *warning...the rest of this post is me freaking out about the set*

so we walked into the theater and there is part of a chandelier hanging super low like right over our seats, the walls are covered with gray curtains, and the stage has lots of gray curtains, and has part of a chandelier also, thats covered with a sheet. the show starts, and the opening scene is after the actual plot of phantom happens, when the opera house is closed down. so they talk and auction off some things then they uncover the piece of the chandelier thats on the stage and some guy says how it is connected to the myth of the phantom of the opera and all o the sudden the orchestra starts playing so loud you can feel it vibrating in your chest and all the pieces of the chandelier start rising up and sort of fly around the room and into place in the ceiling wich was so  crazy by itself but then all of the curtains on the walls fly up and there is a fake audience from the time period of the show and all of the sudden the show goes back in time to tell the story of the phantom of the opera. so that was totally crazy but it all got even better! later in the show when the phantom is messing with everyone he drops out of the bottom of the chandelier like right over my head and is talking and singing and stuff, and there are flair guns and fireworks and fog! and eventually the chandelier falls like right on top of us. well obviously not RIGHT on top of us, it probably stopped like 10 ft above the ground but it blacked out and was so realistic it was totally awesome, a few people around me seriously screamed.
okay im done with that haha mostly i wanted to make this post so that I had all the cool things about phantom written somewhere so i wouldn't forget. but it was definitely the coolest set ive ever seen!
