Phantom of the Opera

Friday night Jason and I were finally able to enjoy my Christmas present. This year for Christmas Jason bought me tickets to go see the Phantom of the Opera and tucked them into the DVD. That was pretty sneaky because he left the tape on the top of the DVD, so I figured it was still sealed. He had to tell me to open up the DVD, and then I saw the tickets. So on Friday I got out of work early and met him at his place. We took Asia down to stay with Grandma then we went to Kalamazoo for dinner. We had a nice dinner at Fridays, the headed to the Miller Auditorium. It was spectacular, definately worth seeing live :) The guy that played the phantom started as the understudy to the original phantom when it played in Toronto. He went on to play the phantom in Toronto, and also played Jean Valjean in Les Miz. Great music, great stage effects. I'm thinking I'll have to go and pick up the book now, so I can read the original story.
