Queralt T Have I ever laughed this much? Probably not. This is a great and rather sweet adaptation to the novel. Erik is such a sweetheart, how can we blame him for his acts? Can we just take a moment to admire Cholet's faces? He is the best side character. I just love this show in every single way possible. Still reading? GO WATCH IT! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Lily B As a phantom of the Opera fanatic, I absolutely loved this take on it. Not a musical as many are used to, but still worth a watch. Loved the book and it definitely draws on themes from it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Lindsay J Another unique take on The Phantom of The Opera, this is not a musical and is based more on the book by: Gaston Leroux. Charles Dance gives us a more sassy, yet gentle Phantom and delivers with his charm. If you are looking for more adaptions/interpretations of The Phantom if The Opera, this one is a classic!
