In many ways watching this on film was better then the stage. The biggest reason is I didn't have to worry about were I was sitting or if I could see or hear what was going on. Also for the first time I got how sensual the phantom is supposed to be. Gerard was awesome. I know critics are going to compare him to Michael Crawford in the singing department, but for someone who is not a professional singer, he did awesome. Emmy was excellent as Christine, and the actor playing Raul sounded perfect. Miss Driver was superb as Carlotta. I did notice a few small things taken out, but the scenes and dialog that was added made the movie feel more complete. It was a magnificent production to watch and I hope that others feel the way I do.

I thought this show was inventive, powerful, and engaging. I was drawn to it because of Jeffery Donovan's performance. I had seen him on The Pretender as Jarod's brother. His odd way of doing things I felt brought a lot of drama and tension to the show. Touching Evil not only exceeded my expectations, but surpassed them. That doesn't happen very often. I was also excited to see Peter Wingfield as part of the cast. I loved him from Highlander and try to watch anything he is in. I hope to see him used much more. Also Vera Farmiga I recongnized form UC: Undercover. I enjoyed watching her charater start to like David even though she didn't want to. Way to go. I will definately keep watching.

Some nice moments between leads. A twist near the end I didn't see coming. Liked the ending, thought it said a lot. As far as "police procedure" goes, especially since he was already on suspension, can we say BACK UP. Thought that back up should have been called for immediately.
