The whole Musical is a spectacle and a half! And, if I'm being honest, I love The Phantom, the Title Character! He is so handsome in Black! The Red Death Costume in the Why So Silent? Scene! Wow! I love The Phantom so much!
I'm sad they're not using this Red Death costume anymore. I honestly loved the piece, but I'm just thankful I'm seeing the show for the second time next year.
papersami they're still using it (on the West End anyway) - I attended a show 2 months ago starring Ben Lewis as the Phantom and this was the Red Death costume that was used.
Her part (and Raoul's) have the line "And who can name the face?" (at 1:35) separately from the rest, but I don't know if there are others, or if they meld with the rest of the chorus beforehand.
Two actors, two costumes; I don't believe the actor playing the Phantom is in either costume. Or perhaps he is in the first one, and carries on singing for the second one to lip-sync.
There are secret dors and stunt doubles in this scene, that's why in the 25th anniversary he doesn't do that, since the royal Albert hall doesn't have secret dors
I think Gerard Butler's version of The Red Death Costume was handsomer than the one used here! Gerard Butler's version of The Phantom was handsomer in general!
@@MrNoUsername yes, thank you, but I was being facetious. It's so very hammy and OTT, untrue to the original intention, not to mention vocally flawed by dodgy musical intonation and overproduced vocal lines.
