That was absolutely spectacular! That phantom was amazing- his singing was beautiful and even got me teary eyed at the end! But the whole cast was very good too with Carlotta especially giving a wonderful performance. Can’t believe this is from a highschool!! 😮
I wonder how much RU-vid videos of professional productions of Phantom, in particular the 2011 25th anniversary show, was used as a reference point by the cast and crew.
Thanks for posting the whole show. It's impressive. Kudos. FYI for viewers, the full cast and crew list is posted at 1:14:25 in the video. The Phantom is Jacob Schmidt, Christine is Regan Bolt, Carlotta is Ellie Heinzen. I liked Jessica Minter as Meg Giry, too. I hope they stuck with it and went pro. They have the talent. Dance training would be beneficial for Jacob Schmidt. As others have commented on his performance, much of his body movement was stiff and awkward. I wouldn't normally comment on it as his movement is on par for a high school production, but it stands out here because his singing is so advanced. And, the physical acting ability he did have at his disposal showed his solid understanding of the Phantom character. Jacob is a larger man (and clearly strong; he easily lifted and carried Regan Bolt), but that shouldn't deter him from dance training: there are larger-bodied musical theater pros who are triple threats. It's not mainly about making him a dancer. Better control of his body as an acting instrument would make him a better stage performer overall.
Unbelievable. Hard to tell it’s a high school production. The phantom blew me away in “All I ask of you Reprise”. It’s my fav part of the show and he nailed it.
.... This was literally a fifteen minute drive from me this whole time. I could have seen this show back then I could have fallen in love with "the phantom of the opera".... Ten years before I actually saw it? I don't know what to say-
I'm directing this show at a summer camp in Austin and am interested in renting the animation you used. I've tried looking for the Parker High School Musical Facebook site but can't find it.
I am shocked. I grew up being a total “Phan” since it came out in the 80’s. This is NOT an easy musical to do given the vocal demands. I’ve watched a lot of High School version, and often “chuckled” under my breath, but this blew my socks off. There is a lot of talent in this production. Kudos to the set design too!
yeah I do not see their pit anywhere. Unless the school is SO RICH that they have the budget for a real underground pit which I wouldn't doubt I mean look at those sets. Lots of high school theater has live instrumentals though!
What a great opening! A very entertaining way to top the droll announcements. I have always loved the opening number. Very well done! To the gal who played a salesman: check out the book, "Roast Beef, Medium". 😊 Set people: STELLAR JOB!!!!! AND is that your school orchestra?!?!? Wowzers!!!!!
As a long time fan of the Phantom and knowing one of the Broadway Phantoms, through my wife a musician, I was brought to tears by this more than excellent production. I had some chores to do in the house but left the video playing. It was difficult to tell this HS production from the original! Are these really HS students?? WOW!
