And that's what the new re-directed tour of PHANTOM is about: a creepy stalker and his victim. The new tour has managed to remove the magic from the show and demonstrates (to me, anyway) what makes the "original" version on Broadway so special -- it's a dark romantic love triangle about a mysterious, troubled man and an open-hearted chorus ballerina and her gallant childhood friend. The performers actually make a difference, the show works best when all three leads are strong but have their vulnerable moments, so you can feel Christine's torment when she has to choose between the exciting man who only lives below ground and the charming man who lives in daylight.
