It had a very melodious, accessible score, Webber's best. So many of the tunes have become standards so, even if watching it for the first time, the music seems familiar. I went back a few years ago. I thought the tempos were slowed somewhat, which robbed the performance of momentum. Plus, the theatre needs to be dusted.
