The Phantom of the Opera | Seoul, South Korea | October 8-14th, 2023 [REVIEWS]
Wow it’s about time I posted these reviews that I kept lying about (this week! tomorrow! in 10 years!) Better late than never?
In this post I’ll drop a few general things about the production, but the performances are analyzed in my reviews linked here. I recommend reading those all in order since I revisit points about actors I’ve made previously along the way to avoid repeating myself.Also leaving a disclaimer that these performances are from October so there are some changes in what the actors are doing now (with the exception of Jeon Dong-seok since he left in November)
Apologies in advance for my wordiness, but this is more of a “release my feelings for my sake and if anyone else likes it that’s cool too” kind of thing? Listen - I wrote a lot of notes on my performances there. So just go in knowing this is the more coherent version of my insane looking notes app!
Before I start I want to thank a few lovely friends who helped me out with this trip because it wouldn’t have gone as well as it did without them!
Thank you to @lucygold95 for helping me so much with planning over the past months and for giving me the best time in Busan. Thank you @capitanogiorgio for all the shenanigans we went through and the most special time going to the 1500th and meeting Yoon Young-seok. Thank you to @fadinglandtragedy for the fun talks and the good advice before my trip! The best part of things like this is making friends of course! : )
oh yay since the paper is so glossy there’s less texture to edit out meaning im getting huge high quality versions out of these specific pics 🥹 those insta uploads were just too small and pixelated maybe ppl can make posters out of them when im done lol
continuing to edit my scans and i think it’s funny that there’s 4 possibilities for who this phantom with a hidden face could be but i can still tell its seungwoo immediately by his height lets go short king
