TMY's Phantom Of The Opera (GZX Version)

I saw this DVD in TW last year during Art Fest 06. K wanted to buy initially but the price was a bit steep. I was told that this show was good.

But I wasn't that sure about it. The storyline is taken from "Phantom of the Opera". I have seen TMY's earlier version and I didn't quite like it.

The next thing that I saw that the main female cast was played by LLQ. I became even doubtful of this show. I don't think LLQ can be better than XXN. She may be much younger however she is still very "raw" in many areas.

She is by default pretty but she doesn't shine when she puts on opera makeup. She lacks the classic traditional looks.

Her voice quality is a bit odd and weak. I don't like her way of singing. She simply has no GZX taste in her singing.

Too skinny, too frail, hence could not bring out her presence on stage.

Once again I feel a little disappointed with TMY. She can be better. But from her eyes, I can tell that she has not put in enough concentration and focus in this role. It is such a waste.

TMY shone better as a 2nd sheng in earlier productions. Even when she was in Holo Opera troupe during her early days, she was much better.

In comparison, XYF's "Guai Pian Ji" or we nicknamed as the "Con Show" is more entertaining than TMY's.

I wouldn't say that XYF's show is flawless. There are some areas that are head-shaking...(LOL)

However the cast in XYF's show is much stronger than the ones in TMY's.

One very good pointer was that quite a handful of XYF's cast could sing well. The music is better than TMY's as the latter used too much orchestra background which somehow dilute the taste of GZX.

ML complained that the background music made her want to sleep.

Hahaha....I think ML simply cannot take "Phantom of the opera".

This is the 3rd Phantom of Opera that made ML want to sleep. (LOL)
