I should have posted this weeks ago when I first found out about it. All I can plead is that life has been hectic lately, plus I've been elsewhere for a while and honestly forgot to. Anyway, really sorry guys! Well. You guys may already know about this. But I haven't yet seen a post about it here, so I thought I'd post it in case you guys didn't. The good news is that, although Phantom is going down to Washington DC in June and July, it is coming back into Canada in August to Ottawa! I found out about this over on phantomoftheopera.com. Apparently, it will be playing for about four weeks starting August 14. Contact info below. Tickets went on sale April 16, and I honestly have no idea if they're still available or if it's sold out yet as I haven't been in a financial position to even ask. Anyway, info is at: National Arts Centre 53 Elgin Street Ottawa, Ontario Canada K1P 5W1 On-sale: April 16, 2007 Groups: 866-530-7469 www.ticketmaster.ca www.thephantomoftheopera.com/p ... hp?tourId=162&venueId=510 I hope that helps! The truth shall make you odd!

I haven't seen POTO in about 14 years, so I'm pretty thrilled. (Hope John Cudia will be an improvement over the too hammy Colm Wilkinson!) I can't believe it's been that long.....

You haven't been to Phantom in fifteen years? that's horrible! Well, I personally find John Cudia to be absolutely amazing. He's rapidly tying for second if not first place on my favourite Phantoms list. But then my top favourite Phantom is Colm Wilkinson, so I'm not sure my tastes will be much help to you in determining whether or not to look forward to him. What I love though about both John and Colm is that they put there whole interpretation into there voice as much as, or maybe even more in Colm's case than, in their body. So you're not missing significant components of their interpretation if you can't see their body-language. Actually, there are some wonderful clips of John Cudia up on Youtube now that I think about it, so you can give him a listen/watch and see what you think. Anyway, hope that helps.

TO is about 6 hrs away, and it was just too difficult. But get this - I had the chance to go to the POTO touring company when it came to Ottawa, about 13 years ago, and I didn't go. Why? Because I was a snob, and didn't want to see Jeff Hyslop as the Phantom. (he used to be on a kid's show here in Canada, which I held against him.) Not gonna make that mistake again! And I've wanted to see it ever since. Thank you for the info on John - I liked your comment about 'voice' vs 'body' interpetation. I think MC would follow in the 'body' one, which is why some people don't like him. You have to see him, really. I hope I'll like John, but I'm just so excited to go again. I'll be sure to check out Youtube for him - thanks for the help!

Yeh, I think that's true about MC, and that's why he's not one of my favourite Phantoms, at least not as he is on the OLC. I've seen him live in concert and he was great then, but I find that both his considerable stage-presence and the richness of his voice seem to get lost in recording. And IMO, you weren't missing much when you missed Jeff Hyslop. I saw him in TO, and honestly he's my least favourite Phantom next to the Gerik. You can hear clips of John Cudia on the following Youtube page. www.youtube.com/profile_v...p=r&page=2 Go to the next page as well (I think), and you'll find his Final Lair! His MOTN is in there somewhere too.
