PotO in Las Vegas

I got an advance purchase offer from Broadway Across America for the Phantom of the Opera in Las Vegas. This is part of the info they sent me.

Broadway Across America wrote:
Set in a new $40 million state-of-the-art theatre and directed by 20-time Tony Award winner Hal Prince, Phantom at The Venetian® is a can't-miss experience and promises surprises that will astound even the biggest Phantom fans:

Reconceived by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Hal Prince and members of the original
creative team into a spectacular $35 million, 95-minute production.

Includes each and every song from the original production.

Spectacular sets, enhancing and expanding the original Tony Award-winning
designs of Maria Bjornson.

A breathtaking chandelier experience unlike anything you have ever seen!

Sounds like they want to do a real Vegas spectacular using Phantom. Shocked I had heard that the 3 1/2 hour Lord of the Rings musical was the most expensive at $28 million but this show claims to cost $35 million and only lasts 1 1/2 hours. If you think Phantom is mostly spectacle, I have a feeling that with this show, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Razz Wink
The Very Angry Woman

And here's a full cast list, if anyone hadn't seen this yet:
