Chris Crowe and Barbara Graham in Phantom of the Opera.
The music of the night once again unfurls its sweet intoxication amid the splendor of the Civic Theatre as a local company breathes life into the lavishly romantic spectacle of Andrew Lloyd Webber's finest creation.
As the Phantom, Chris Crowe unleashes the wild passions of a tormented soul taking vengeance
on an uncaring world.
His finely balanced performance finds exquisite tenderness in Music of the Night while bringing an edgy sense of danger to the furious violence of a misunderstood genius.
As Christine, Barbara Graham's superb voice vividly expresses the purity of the Phantom's pupil who embodies the healing power of love in the show's renowned series of duets.
It is a huge achievement for a local company to pull off a production on this scale and a testimony to the long-term vision of Amici Trust, which has shown an admirable commitment to developing musical theatre from community level through to semi-professional productions.
