The Phantom of the Opera | Seoul, South Korea | October 8-14th, 2023 [REVIEWS]

Wow it's about time I posted these reviews that I kept lying about (this week! tomorrow! in 10 years!) Better late than never?

In this post I'll drop a few general things about the production, but the performances are analyzed in my reviews linked here. I recommend reading those all in order since I revisit points about actors I've made previously along the way to avoid repeating myself. Also leaving a disclaimer that these performances are from October so there are some changes in what the actors are doing now (with the exception of Jeon Dong-seok since he left in November) Apologies in advance for my wordiness, but this is more of a "release my feelings for my sake and if anyone else likes it that's cool too" kind of thing? Listen - I wrote a lot of notes on my performances there. So just go in knowing this is the more coherent version of my insane looking notes app!

Before I start I want to thank a few lovely friends who helped me out with this trip because it wouldn't have gone as well as it did without them!

Thank you to @lucygold95 for helping me so much with planning over the past months and for giving me the best time in Busan. Thank you @capitanogiorgio for all the shenanigans we went through and the most special time going to the 1500th and meeting Yoon Young-seok. Thank you to @fadinglandtragedy for the fun talks and the good advice before my trip! The best part of things like this is making friends of course! : )

Could you possibly make a Photoset of actors who are unrecognizable in the Phantom Makeup?

Usually I can make out the facial features an actor in the makeup, but with Anton Zetterholm, he is basically unrecognizable to me as The Phantom

How about a 100% percent Anton Zetterholm photoset? Because I CANNOT RECOGNIZE HIM AT ALL! Wild! I have to double and triple check tags and credits to be sure it is him. Possibly the biggest transformation I have seen. Out of context I would have thought...

Mark Jacoby?

Tomas Ambt Kofod?

Hugh Panaro?

...and WHO DISS?!?

So yeah, he wins all the disguise awards. Hence, he gets this photoset for himself :D

i recognized the new photo on the left as being an alternate angle and im like is this just the case with every photo someone trusts dongseok to take does everyone just get backup photos in case the selfie inevitably fails 😭 bless him 🥹

lmao help getting exposed for only the process of the photo-taking being shared and never the actual results 😭😭

Christine understudy 권가민 Kwon Gamin with a complete set of Phantoms 😌💕

조승우 Cho Seungwoo -> 김주택 Kim Jutaek [+ 송원근 Song Wongeun]
최재림 Choi Jaerim -> 전동석 Jeon Dongseok

(not a Christine costume pic with Jaerim I know but I’ll accept it anyway okay)
