“The Phantom of the Opera,” based on Gaston Leroux’s classic book, an original musical, was performed in March 2021, in the beautiful Assembly Hall of the Salvation Army Kroc Center, in Omaha, Nebraska.
“The Phantom of the Opera”, an all-original Broadway-like musical production, was the most challenging production that One For All Musical Theater has yet produced, but by far, presented the most stunning theatrical features yet attempted. From live animals, gorgeous props, exotic costumes, massive stage sets with a revolving center stage, and upper-tier catwalks with trap doors, to a huge crashing chandelier, the intricately-woven story was filled with beautiful, humorous, and intensely dramatic music throughout.
The technical aspect of the show required a large staff and demanded a high level of creativity to ensure the smooth functioning of the many key props such as the boat rowing across the fog-covered stage, the organ being played by the Phantom, the falling chandelier and a plethora of sound effects. Professional dancers (American Midwest Ballet) from ballet to contemporary to classical forms brought much energy to the stage, along with a large variation of musical styles sung by some of the most beautiful, wide-ranged voices in the Omaha area. Video and painted backdrops graced the massive walls in scenes, as talent told this classic story at its best, by actors amazingly gifted at their craft, and by very special youth weaving their magic into the ethereal landscape as well.
Raising the glass to another highly successful fantastic production and exquisite performances of our third annual Broadway-like musical production, The Phantom of the Opera!
Congratulations to excellence in teamwork, and a breathtaking presentation!
