The first Vigil was organised in less that two weeks, and took place in the 30th April 2009. It was promoted via Facebook and over 10,000 people turned up. The Choirs were put on the steps as it was thought that, with so many people attending, having them slighlty elevated on the steps would help them to be heard (we had zero budget for a pa system etc so everything was very basic the fist year).

The second year, which you refer to above – we put them in the same place but few people attended the vigil – estimated to be 4,000 so there was a more noticable gap between the choir and the stage area – with fewer people inbetween.

Last year, learning from the year before – we moved the choirs to the front next to the stage. Which worked a lot better – although only 2,000 people attened.

It’s all done for free, with zero budget so thanks to everyone who turned up and volunteered to help out. It’s important that we continue to stand up and state that hate crime is not acceptable in our communities.

I’m going to see the show in two weeks time and I’m SO excited!!

Does anyone know which of these restaurants http://www.phantomoftheoperalondon.com/restaurants/ is the best to eat at afterwards? I want to make a night of it!
