I think the first 20 minutes of Phantom are extremely well-done. The quiet beginning with the auction that intrigues us, the unveiling and lifting of the chandelier to sweeping music, the spectacle of the Hannibal opera, and then the laying out of our cast of characters. Then the Phantom appears as if by magic, and he takes Christine away.

It does what it needs to do: sets the stage, gives us some spectacle, and makes us want to see what happens next. I think the rest of the show has very high points and parts that are not as strong, but I think the beginning is uniformly very strong.
