‘The Phantom of the Opera’ is here… inside your mind

Dallas Summer Musicals kinda reversed the order of two shows — this summer, we saw Love Never Dies, the sequel to Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera … and now the original monster worldwide hit returns to Dallas. There’s a reason it has endured: “Music of the Night,” “All I Ask Of You,” “Think of Me” and a massive chandelier crash.
