We couldn't stop laughing! Every thing that irritated me about the book and the music was called out! So funny. For your mental health, this is a definite see. So funny!

What a super fun production! I laughed a lot and enjoyed the humor! And dancing with headless stuffed men… he-he 🤣 Popcorn is delicious and the front end staff are wonderful!

“The Phantom “Breaks” the Opera” Delivers Big Laughs Through Delightful Theatrical Mayhem

I audibly say, “Wow!” because I am not expecting such a powerful performance in a play that is otherwise so goofy and unpredictable.

Angelus Theatre’s Production of The Phantom Breaks the Opera in Spanish Fork is an Uproariously Hilarious Parody

Cunningham delivers a perfect blend of an awkward, somewhat creepy, and comedic portrayal that leaves the audience snickering throughout the play.
