DINERS AREN'T PHANTOMS

Applause! Applause! To the city of Norfolk, Chrysler Hall and the Really Useful Theater Co. for bringing the ``Phantom of the Opera'' to Hampton Roads.

I work at a fine-dining establishment in Virginia Beach and am completely overwhelmed by the number of early customers we are receiving because of this production. The fine-dining restaurant community has cause to be grateful that such a quality revenue addition has been brought to Hampton Roads. The city of Norfolk and Chrysler Hall deserve a standing ovation. Bravo!
