Tim and I, and his friend Liam went to see the Phantom production in May - they did it for extra credit, and I did it because long ago I did the spotlight work …<\/p>\n

Here's what I'd posted on May 7th. Stepinac production of "Phantom of the Opera"<\/a> – and quoting myself;<\/p>\n

Sorry alumni, this show blew away anything done in the past. The whole production was amazing. Singing, choreography, the sets, costumes (Tim's friend Liam told me he'd heard they had a $70,000 budget!), everything.<\/p>\n

Well, the critics agreed!<\/p>\n

Stepinac wins overall-production Metro in a loud, proud night<\/a><\/p>\n

Archbishop Stepinac High School\u2019s production of Andrew Lloyd Webber\u2019s \u201cThe Phantom of the Opera\u201d earned the top honor \u2014 best overall production \u2014 at Monday\u2019s 14th annual Metropolitan High School Theater Awards at Peekskill\u2019s Paramount Center for the Arts.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhantom,\u201d at the all-boys Catholic high school in White Plains, was up for 15 awards and came away with four: overall production; leading actor (New Rochelle\u2019s Albert Stanaj, in the title role, in a performance that tied with Fair Lawn\u2019s Sean Dabney, as conflicted director Guido Contini, in \u201cNine\u201d); best supporting actor, (White Plains\u2019 Chris Guzman); and scenic design (Joe Lore and June Ricciardi). It was the first time Stepinac had won the top prize.<\/p>\n

The leading actress award was won by a student in Ossining; she must have been phenomenal, because the young lady who was lead in Phantom did not win and she was great.<\/p>\n
