I loved this performance! It was an amazing clash of silent film, and rock. The costumes were beautiful. I dont know about the rest of you but before I buy tickets to something I check it out to find out exactly what I am buying into... The first line on the Vox Lumiere website is :Vox Lumiere is rock concert meets silent film. Would for sure go see either this production, or one of their others again!!

I want my money back!!!! If I wanted to watch an silent film with someone screeching in the background over it, I could done that on my own. Cat's in heat sounded better that this " ???" (i don't know what to call it ?) Play?, standing on stage?
I would recommend they return the money to anyone who attend this event and appoligize in hopes of having anyone ever attend an event at the rialto theatre again.

Overpriced - I want a refund! It was terrible and so low budget. Singing to a silent movie with no costume changes, no props - how did this get at the Rialto? Do they even audition their acts?

I was not expecting an avant-garde version of Phantom Of The Opera. Needless to say I was not happy with what I spent my money to see. We could not understand anything they were singing. Was it in English? The costumes looked like they were designed by Madonna and Boy George. We left at intermission as did several others. I could not apologize enough to my husband for wasting a Saturday evening.

the worst play i have seen and heard. not even worth the 35 $ cheap seats!!! stay home and watch the original silent movie and let a high school rock band play and sing in the background, thats about what you will get from this play. the only good thing was the main characters voices. they can sing... but cant understand and cant hear with the LOUD music playing!!!

I viewed the "Vox Lumiere: Phantom of the Opera," at the Rialto Theatre in Joliet, IL.
Overall, the show was quite spectacular; and, genuinely fabulous! I must admit, at first, I wasn't quite sure what to expect (being a huge fan of the musical, "Phantom of the Opera"); but, after the first 6 or 7 minutes of initial shock that had set in (the element of unexpectedness), I became quite mesmerized and fascinated with the music, choreography, and the overall showing of the Vox Lumiere! EXCELLENT JOB TO THE CAST AND CREW; KUDOS AND TOTES!!

Would not pay to see this again, would not attend if I was given free tickets. Not true to the play or the original music. Some people walked out before intermission we stayed but we were very diappointed.

After seeing The Phantom of the Opera in LasVegas, Vox Lumiere was disappointing. I didn't know what to expect. How could I have expected a Silent Movie combined with Opera, Rap and Heavy Metal Music? I do have to say the performers danced and sang masterfully if that is what you are into.

This was an odd combination of things going on. If you wanted to follow the story you needed to watch the silent movie but then you couldn't really pay attention to the dancers. Also, the music was just way too loud (and I like loud music!)

Extremely disappointed!! Couldn't hear vocalists because of 2 man rock band. Elderly people were very disturbed by the "forced" feedback. Watched a 1920's silent movie while they sang to lyrics which we did not recognize. Left during intermission with others in the audience! My daughter was horribly disappointed!! Despicable Rendition!!!!!

This show was one of the worst shows I've ever attended and my wife have attended hundreds of plays, theatre, and musical productions. We left the theatre after 35 minutes of the performance and let the local people know how displeased we were with the production. If we could get a refund on this one I would ask for one. I have attended multiple interpretations of the Phantom and have seen Andrew Lloyd Webers version in over 6 countries and multiple locations throughout the world. This version left such a poor taste in my mouth I will not attend another Phantom other than a Andrew Lloyd Weber musical interpretation. So much for a nice anniversary gift for my wife.

This was a horrible show. Paying $66 a ticket and basically watching a movie on a screen and the music was so loud. The main lady singing seemed to just kind of screech and we didnt even know if she was singing in English. We left at intermission. I couldnt believe it had only been 50 minutes until intermission. It seemed like hours. Half the audience got up and left. Such a waste of money and nothing to do with Phantom of the Opera except for the silent film plaing in the background. Would love to find out how to get our money back!!!!!!!!

I knew that it was a new twist to Phantom of the Opera, but I HATED it. It was WAYYYYY too different for my taste. The characters were dressed in what I was reminded of as Rocky Horror Picture Show costumes that didn't fit the story at all, the singing was terrible, couldn't understand a word, the dancing was like they took people off the street and showed them the steps right before show time. They were stumbling and off beat. SOOOOOO not what I expected. At one point I was ready to walk out. Very disappointed I spent my money on this show.

We thought that this was the worst play we have ever gone to. We have been to the Phantom of the Opera play before in Chicago and loved every minute of it. Based upon our experience in Chicago we invited two more people to join us for this event and all of us were so disappointed that we left at intermission. If I could get my money back I would greatly appreciate it. My wife said she wished that I brought her the night before to see Vince Gill instead of what I brought her to.

I would highly recommend this event to those who are theater vets and those who may be attending a performance for the first time. The only gripe we had was the microphones cutting out multiples times and the acoustics were not very good in the arena. The music tended to drown out the performers almost all night. Beyond this, the event was a great time had by all and I would love to see them again either in Rochester or on the road again.

Vox Lumiere carries out an idea with lots of potential: to show a great silent film in combination with original music, singing, and choreography. But my wife and I agreed the execution was lacking. First, the volume was overwhelming even with earplugs jammed tight in my ears. It was like being uncomfortably cold or having a headache: a big chunk of your brain is focused on the discomfort and escape from it, blunting your enjoyment of everything else. There was no need for this: had the volume been reduced by half it would have been plenty loud. And I DO like loud music; I often play music very loudly at home or in my car. But there is a limit!
Second, the stage lighting was too often so bright that the film image itself was partially or largely obscured.
Third, I felt that the composed score needed more variety; too much of it was to a straight-ahead 4-4 beat and there was too much repetition in the "songs."
Finally, the screen was simply too small in relation to the rest of the production.
I do want to say that it was clear the members of Vox Lumiere were highly talented: the singing, costumes, dancing, and musicianship were first-rate.
To sum it up, my wife and I left at intermission, despite paying what is a lot for us, and living an hour away.

Vox Lumiere's "The Phantom of the Opera" was a unique experience. This show is not for everyone and it helps to be familiar with the story. It was difficult to understand some of the lyrics to the songs.
