Christine unmasks the Phantom WAY too early; to his credit, the Phantom covers it up fairly well. From the Brazil revival, with Thiago Arancam as the Phantom and Darua Goes as Christine.
And now let’s try to imagine what would be audience’s reaction if there will be only fans of this musical. I think few ambulance cars certainly would arrive. Anyway I’m very impressed by Arancan’s reaction, he caught the mask while it was falling! What a reaction! I rewatched that moment about 10 times and still don’t understand how he managed to do that
Anyone in the audience who wasn't a fan would not have been able to tell this was an accident. He handled it so well, immediately turning his face away from the audience and reattaching his mask without making it seem like a big deal
Theater actors have to be damn good at ad-libbing. I saw the show a million times between the closing announcement and the final performance and caught quite a few significant errors: (1) The actress playing Christine tripped and fell during the "Wishing" sequence, but managed to play it off as a result of the chaos. (2) In that same performance, the gun didn't fire, so instead of Raoul yelling at the guy for shooting recklessly, he yelled at him for NOT shooting. (3) In another show, the actress playing Christine couldn't get the mask off during the climax of the "Point" scene. (4) The biggest one of all, during yet another show, at the end, Meg yanked back the cape, only to have NO MASK on the throne, forcing the actress to just sit there stunned without holding it up for the final haunting effect. At all times, the actors played it off so well, I'd have never known it was an error if I hadn't seen the show 20-something times before.
0:32 Hee hee... that tiny finger wag. The performers did really well. Hardly any signs of internal screaming, and was able to keep the audience under control.
Wow. That was smooth. And I am even more surprised if the audiences reaction, no gasps, no whispers, just silence. Everyone in that theater did fantastically.

@@kittycatthelildevil4096 Yes there was a club where he pushed the boat after it stopped center stage. Also I believe on that video the organ was late too
The thing is… The AUDIENCE is not supposed to see the phantoms face. If Christine sees it a bit early that probably fine but the audience is not supposed to.
