Last Thursday, Heather and I went to the Fox Theatre to see “The Phantom of the Opera”. I’d never been to the Fox, and was very impressed. The theater is gorgeously designed with a Arabian theme, and inside the theater itself, the seating and stage is under a sky-blue ceiling that gives the impression of being in a Arabian mosque near sunset — complete with twinkling stars.

“Phantom” was also quite good; I’m not a big fan of musicals, but the show was very engaging, and the stagecraft was excellent. I highly recommend seeing it; it’s definitely an experience worth having.
