I was confused at first as to what part this was supposed to be (I didn’t know what a portcullis was), but as soon as I saw Michael do the t h i n g I was like “ohh THAT sprawl”
So here are my "awards" for the Portcullis Sprawl! This one was a little trickier to do. I mean, what to award? But I gave it a go. ;) I've only mentioned a handful; they are all so good, and I especially liked so many Christines, I just couldn't put them all in. So here are just the highlights. *BEST PORTCULLIS SPRAWL:* John Cudia John Cudia & Jennifer Hope Wills U.S. Tour, 2006 28:24 *MOST GRACEFUL PHANTOM:* Yuichiro Yamaguchi Yuichiro Yamaguchi & Kyoko Suzuki Japan, 1992 6:10 *BEST PHANTOM PHUMBLE:* Ramin Karimloo Ramin Karimloo & Gina Beck London, 2008 31:30 He can't find the portcullis with his right hand! *BEST CHRISTINE:* Gina Beck Ramin Karimloo & Gina Beck London, 2008 31:30 John Owen-Jones & Gina Beck London, 2010 33:03 *BEST PHANTOM/CHRISTINE INTERACTION:* Earl Carpenter & Rachel Barrell London, 2006 26:30 I love the way he flinches away when Christine goes to touch his face.
I love how Colm doesn't really sprawl across the portcullis, it's a much nicer and more natural pose. Some of the sprawls look very odd and awkward especially when they grab the portcullis like they fear for their lives. But I love Colm and find his Phantom dark and sexy. It's easy to believe Christine would be mezmerized by him unlike some of the other Phantoms.
Here are some that stood out to me: 10. Alexander Goebel & Luzia Nistler (9:19) 9. Roy Weissensteiner & Marion Wilmer (19:54) 8. John Cudia & Jennifer Hope Wills (28:24) 7. Ethan Freeman & Anne Gorner (27:59) 6. Thomas James O'Leary & Sandra Joseph (12:37) 5. Scott Davies & Charlotte Page (16:36) 4. Dave Willetts & Jan Hartely-Morris (0:43) 3. Jeff Hyslop & Teresa DeZarn (4:04) 2. Colm Wilkinson & Patti Cohenour (6:38) 1. Michael Crawford & Rebecca Caine (0:04), Sarah Brightman (1:41) & Mary D'arcy (2:52) Honorable Mentions Jun Sawaki & Kyoko Suzuki (5:45) Ethan Freeman & Jill Washington (10:17) Ian Jon Bourg & Alison Kelly (16:09) Luis Armando & Felicidad Farag (18:05) James Romick & Marie Danvers (24:36) Anthony Crivello & Elizabeth Loyacano (29:21)
can you make a comparison video of raoul jumping down into a trap door after saying "madame giry, thank you!" in down once more? cause i heard in some theaters, they don't have a trap door.. i want to see how they differ... thank you very very much in advance.
Thank you for compiling all the videos. I've always wondered, what was Christine supposed to be doing? Trying to kiss him? Peel off the mask? I know different actors interpret it differently but, curious as to what others think.. cheers.
According to the choreographer she was 'feeling' him by brushing up against him, and she gets a bit scared because she's never been with a man like that before.
My favorite thing about this is something choreographer Gillian Lynne has discussed - she said the blocking of where Phantom backs up and writhes against the portcullis, leading Christine to come closer and then suddenly scurry away is quite, uhh, pointed. He's meant to have an erection in that scene and is essentially, well, presenting. Christine feels it and - understandably - backs off. I think about that every time I watch this scene in a production.
Someone asked me a few days to make one, so... I'll be making one! It might take a little while, but I'll get it up sooner or later. (And yeah, I had assumed someone had made a video of that - it's such an iconic scene! - but I had no luck finding one on RU-vid.)
Is there a phantom kiss one by any chance, i assumed there was one on youtube but can't find any, would love to see that, after seeing peter karrie i'd love to see other phantoms reactions to being kissed :)
Mm... no, I don't really want to, because it's such a tiny thing (I like comparing big important lines or iconic poses), plus it's a scene that may not always be filmed due to darkness or other conditions. Sorry.
Sorry I’m probably missing something very obvious, but why does Christine run away when he sings the darkness of the music of the night? Great video by the way
The choreographer, Gillian Lynne, suggested that it was because Christine either felt or saw the Phantom's erection and that's why she ran away. Some actresses seem to actually do this (e.g. visibly looking down at the Phantom's crotch), others do not. Alternative theories could also include: Christine being scared by the Phantom's proximity to her or Christine remembering that a good 19th century girl should not be touching or getting so close to a strange man.
Glass Prism thank you for replying to me, was not expecting the first part of the answer though 😳. Think I’m gonna try and believe the latter two, to spare my innocence XD.
Its not really a great comparison considering some of these videos are barely visible. Its strange you didnt include Crawford and Brightman in the much clearer video of the song they have. Crawford beats them all in that one.
Yes, I'm aware, but I chose to include the videos anyway so that you get SOME sense of the performers, rather than no sense at all. Also, unless there was really no other video out there, I deliberately chose to use only videos from the actual stage productions, not from concerts or promo videos, since I wanted to showcase what they did LIVE. You are free to disagree and make your own comparison video if you like.
I feel like this scene should be played with their arms less wide open. He isn’t trying to scare her or be dominant, he’s just trying to impress her. I feel like it should’ve been more gentle because of that. I can’t really see him as dominant.
I agree.... But the story takes place in the 19th century and men were dominant at that time. She liked him in that scene, but then she saw his face... Dammit, I could never understand, why does Christine take off his mask... I just don't get such curiosity.... The Phantom's heart is shattered by a woman who could never love him and that drives him to insanity. I think if circumstances had been different, she would've chosen the phantom.
@@winterwithawhyknudsen5166 Well, it was their first date.... You're probably right... Also, the dude is lonely since his birth. I don't think he really knows how to handle with girls.
Gerald Butler is not a professional singer he's an action movie actor, the director of the movie wanted a handsome man because the POTO is a love story. The only reason Butler got the part. Butler's singing was passable not great.
