Nothing lost in shorter Las Vegas `Phantom'

Chicago Tribune: "In the new, shortened 'Phantom,' all the famous (or, depending on your point of view, infamous) emotional ditties are present and correct to the very last warbling note -- 'All I Ask of You,' 'The Music of the Night' and the title number. The orchestra is full, lush and Broadway-size. The story is involving and perfectly clear. And both the Phantom (played, at the performance I saw, by the surprisingly edgy Anthony Crivello) and Christine (beautifully but unpretentiously sung by Elizabeth Loyacano) have more than enough time to give their characters considerable emotional oomph."
