"Jacobs' glorious music and musical rightfully push his PHANTOM towards the light, away from Leroux's concept of a doomed character."
Stefan Kozinski, New York City
"All of the love, mystery, music and mayhem of a monstrous hit."
Montreal Journal, Canada
“Those who have seen the Broadway musical have every reason to like the Jacobs musical ... A spectacle which has its own merits and good singers."
0 Globo, Sao Paulo, Brazil
"Stunning sets, spine-tingling special effects; costumes so rich you could eat 'em ... It's a winner."
Daily News, Montreal, Canada
"LET'S SEE 'THE PHANTOM HERE. Forget the London or New York productions. The quality of the songs, the arrangements, and the performances of the actors are excellent. The operatic parts are treated very well, being far from Webber's obvious manner. The Jacobs' PHANTOM reaches an excellent musical level."
Alvaro Fernandes, Dica Paulista, Sao Paulo, Brazil
"Full of power and rhythm ...The sets are fabulous. Ivan Jacobs' music is faithful to the classic American tradition and it doesn't sink deep into the more operatic (and also pop) universe of the other ghost by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It stands especially well in comparison with the copy by the English composer."
Diario de Noticias, Lisbon, Portugal
"A clear example of an occasion when language is no barrier to the communication between people. The show demonstrates that terror is compatible with compassion. The audience as a whole was very pleased to witness a humane PHANTOM. The performances by the principal and secondary actors was outstanding."
La Voz de Asturias, Spain
"Tremendously effective. A magnificent group of performers. It will give you an idea of the glow of the great white way, the legendary Broadway. The orchestra is equal to the best of Broadway... (It) emphasized the comical side in contrast with the love conflict using a magnificent group of performers."
Publico, Portugal
"Displayed all the power, showmanship, and excellence that has converted the great theatres of New York into a sanctuary of the (musical) genre. For three hours, the Jovellanos Theatre participated in the spirit of Broadway."
La Nueva Espana, Spain
