To echo Secret's thoughts - I'm also a vocal performance major and huge fan of musical theatre. I've been listening to Phantom for years, and I was very psyched when I first heard about the project. However, I wish they would have chosen to cast actual singers in the production, at least for Phantom and Christine, rather than the actors they chose. Granted, I've only heard bits of the music from the movie, but what I've heard was quite disappointing. I'll see it eventually, but likely not in the theatre. It's too bad though, it could have been a great movie if they had used real singers.
