"What got me about the chandelier drop was not the drop itself, but that it dropped and then somehow, before landing on the stage, swung back out over the audience, right at me, in fact."
If my memory is correct, that swinging back out over the audience did NOT happen when I saw PHANTOM on Broadway. But that was right after the show opened, so I wouldn't be surprised if the effect has been tweaked and possibly improved on Broadway and in other productions since. |
