The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway 

Same! It was one of the first musicals I ever saw on broadway and I loved it! I can’t wait to see it again someday.

@@elysewalden16 I would also want to see Hamilton and the Lion King on Broadway! 🤩

Same here 😍

i love this show so much it is just the most incredible thing to experience ever

Who is your favorite Character from Phantom?

Yass! absolutely.

Totally agree I felt overwhelmed and was happy to see it felt the same thing !

I’ve only seen it once and it’s sad it’s coming to an end! I loved it!

I saw her perform today! She was amazing and she's my second favorite Christine Daae!

omg I also saw it on my bday. I turned 31 Sunday. it was superb!

@@Rayny_Diamond congratulations and I'm glad you enjoyed also. It was phenomenal and I definitely wanna see it again ans purchase merch

How was it?!

A DREAM😭

And sadly it's ending in February

Now it'll be in April :(

The 16th

Hey me too! I saw it around 94-97. I was just raving about it to my mom since she hasn't seen it. The performances, music and special effects were amazing and have stayed with me.

There's the 25th anniversary edition pro-shot of the performance available to watch! It's not on Blu-Ray as far as I know but it's a professional recording!

Sameee I really hope I can see it too

no the chair when he disappeared! like HOW!

If you're talking about the descent sequence in the title song, it's done with body doubles. The vocals for the entire second verse, if I understand correctly, are actually pre-recorded. The lead actors are getting into place during that part while the doubles are lip-syncing to the leads' pre-recorded voices. Christine's final high note in the title song is also pre-recorded, I think, as it's a ridiculously high note for even most professional sopranos to hit well on a daily basis. It may be used intermittently based on the singer's voice on any given day, though.

Headed there in a couple weeks. Told my wife I’m gonna do the same 🤣

@blake Welll take it all in and enjoy every second. Hearing the orchestra echo in that room in person is out of this world. Have a drink at the bar across the street use the bathroom so you don't have to get up and miss anything. Also get merch before you sit.

April fools

@@ip22343 no it is closing

@@msb4838 Yeah i know, but at least still have the London production.

It was possibly Geronimo Rauch. He was the lead most of that year according to what I could find. Here is a link to a video with him and Harriet Jones. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ew2l64MFwq0.html

@@neaelevator Thank you so much!! I have no idea whether that's really the one but it seems likely.

I know, Sierra is amazing. But this Christine is from Africa. What the hell was that? 😆😆😆

Why is it that Sierra/Ramin fans always have to comment that they’re their favorite. Good for you.

It has reopened on Broadway.

@@andkyrmar i know but why dont they bring it to other states again in the US? they always did

@@krystalharwood6359 I know right, they should bring it back to USA.

@@jswatch9270 idk why its stuck in ny but hasnt visited the rest i the states

@@krystalharwood6359 I don't know why either and I say it should come back to the rest of USA.

Nope!

@@ingridmay66 yes she is, i'm not sure why you're flooding the comments with hate when she is objectively good. you are just miserable.

Nope!🤣

Phantom masks have evolved and often redesigned for each new principal phantom. Since the reopening of both the London and NYC after covid lockdowns, there have been a number of lyrical, directional and blocking adjustments. The make up on the phantom on both sides of the Atlantic has also altered. It’s still similar to the original Chris Tucker design but with modifications.

It's Ben Crawford

@@msb4838 Ok, thanks! 🙂

cry

Aaaand the show is now cancelled lol

very few christines were actually swedish. just white. There has been an Asian Christine as well but you just love to reserve your comments for when its a black person.

@@user-of4yv7ji1b Prove it, NPC

Caso não tenha visto o show, o personagem do fantasma é um visionário, além de marginalizado, então sim, obviamente um progressista. O show está a mais de 30 anos em cartaz. Como vc acha que isso seria possível sem acompanhar o progresso? Ou o seu comentário é só uma fala racista?

@@bernardoohara I guess they must of had many black opera singers in France during that time.

You sound goofy

нормально поют, слабенько это почти все наши пели.

@@Jillcorporation Наши это кто? А в данном клипе девица, наверное только из политкорретности появилась .

Unfortunately

Why does it matter? She has a nice vocie thats what most important

@@amandae8437 girl shut up

@@et7281 I agree it really shouldn't matter. In my opinion, actors should be free to inhabit any role that their talent allows them to perform irrespective of gender, race, sexual orientation, etc. I do find that there is a double standard that I find problematic. There seems to be a lot of outrage for actors that are not authentically cast in terms of the aforementioned, except when a POC takes on a white person role. Christine was the daughter of a Swedish violinist so by that standard she should be white. However, I'm excited for the opportunity that diverse casting provides for such talent to shine. I just wish such grace were extended to all other actors because their job is quite literally to take on the character of another, fictional or real. I am also conflicted about whether this can become a subtle way of rewriting history because POC did not hold these positions during that time and place. As diverse casting becomes more commonplace, will people in time start to believe this to be a historically accurate representation? That worries me given the blatant move to suppress history as we are seeing take hold throughout our country. Emilie has an amazing voice and I will be thrilled to see her perform. Both leads have spectacular voices. Phantom is my favorite play so I've seen many productions. The last time I was this excited with the singing was when Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford were in the cast.

@@Mdelgado5498 ikr, she is a brilliant christine. If we are going to cast a christine that is 100% accurate to the book. Then she should be blonde. But in most theater versions she is brunette. So I don't see why people get mad when they change skin color, but not hair color. I feel like they will only be happy as long as it is a white woman. Thats super sad.

you thought you ate

How so?
