The Phantom Of The Opera | West End LIVE 2021 

I can tell you that he is as good as Hadley, having seen him live. Incredible voice.

@@MrMjdc Hadley's interpretation of Raoul is not good at all

@@RobbinCotran1 it’s all a matter of taste mate, and that’s fine. I really like Hadley’s performance. His Raoul is the only one I don’t want to smack over the head for being such a little cry baby. And Hadley does have an incredible voice.

Alexanderbb I don’t like Hadley’s Raoul at all. His voice & his acting just comes out as a bit too much “aggressive” to me 🤣 I prefer my Raoul to be more gentle, and even a bit naive like a soft boy hopelessly in love he is

@@philippatran2745 Me too. Contrasts the Phantom's personality

I agree it honestly made me like their relationship more. I feel like usually their relationship feels so forced especially when you compare the amount of duets between Christine and phantom. I also love the stark difference between her with him and her with phantom really makes it feel night and day lmao

@@brookiie I’m playing Christine in the phantom of the opera concert at my house on March and April 2022 at my house

megan o'mahoney how many of those concerts have you done

She is like IRL Christine! She truly is a gorgeous human being.

I have to disagree, Sierra is a great Christine and is hardly tofu. This isn't the actual play so they can get a little silly and have fun with it. Lucy does a great job as well but I'm not crazy about her vocals, she sounds nice but doesn't have the power and range that other Christine's bring to the table.

USFanLovesMinHo I have to agree with you .. so many Christines may come But For me Sierra Bogges is irreplaceable and incomparable in my Heart.. she's one great great Christine with her Phantom Ramin Karimloo 💖💖💖

I also have to disagree. To me Sierra Boggess is the best Christine because her voice is the best I’ve ever heard for a Christine actress. Every song she sings is she is putting power and emotion into it. So in my opinion, Sierra is the best Christine

Wow the people in the replies are so original. Can we just stop comparing people to the 25th? Lucy is truly amazing in this, and if you think she's not, then go and comment on a video of someone else you enjoy.

@@santheshark-6139 so sorry yes, we're into originals but we're not comparing them, actually i love her voice and i enjoyed this video loved the 2021 casts.. we're just saying that the past Christines are like those she say "Series and somber" because maybe it's the standard way of how the Characters must be portrayed. Sierra is good and so is Lucy i love them both 💖💖

I like emmey rossums voice

The school girl giggles ruined it sorry

@@davidsuarezannamarievillar1146 I like Emmy Rossum's voice as well! But I still prefer the original Christine Sarah Brightman who is also Andrew Lloyd Webber's ex wife

I love her voice too 🥰

my fave out of the show

She is adorable offstage and on

It ruined the song to me

@@twjr2855 what 😳 the whole purpose of the song is that they’re childhood sweethearts

@@jessicamabb2450 i guess they like boring acting choices rather than good ones 🤷🏾‍♀️

I agree 100%

I don't think is about being negative. People will like what they like whether others agree or not and you can't fault people for not liking the same things you do. I myself do not care for Lucy's vocals, but her acting is good.

@@USFanLovesMinHo There's a difference between not liking a certain actor's take on a role (perfectly valid) and spewing hatred like some of these comments have been. Of course people can have their opinions, but the way that some people have expressed them here is extremely disrespectful. Have a nice day!

Do you know the names of the cast? I'm mesmerized by them and I have no idea who they are🥺

@@valeriavega6323 phantom - Killian Donnelly, Christine - Lucy St. Louis, Raoul - Rhys Whitfield

Oh wow, HMT's 6-day weekly grind has resumed?? Looks like covid has ended at London...

They totally canned the best cast they'd ever had right before covid and didn't ask anyone back. Nah. Not worth seeing. At all.

@@blissinchains lol stop talking rubbish. they were good but not at this level, plus no one is as good as ramin so shows how much you know

I watched the phantom of of the opera a couple of days ago and Kilian was extraordinary. I was overeely by his powerful, soulful persofmance. It was nice to see Charlie in the kinky boots again 👠

lol that's a bold stance, respect. They were v cute tbh, don't like Raoul normally.

Same! They almost never do stuff for raoulstine so I was so glad they did aiaoy

yesss team Raoul gang

ikr

I didn’t even notice it was a wig it’s gorgeous and looks so natural on her ❤️

Same

Same!

Same

same!!

Nope thr jest phantom nis Ramin, he sneds. Me places iv nai neen before with just his voice theres. Also an Australian. One that gives . Me. Tremors loatening to jsit the audio :) Killian is. Good though better than Crawford

@@Model_mayhem_mother while i somewhat agree with you, i think it would be best to keep these opinions of ours, to ourselves. I know you meant no harm, and of course art is subjective, and everyone has their own opinions, but, Killian might see this, and it certainly won't be nice. It's better to respect actors, and admire them for who they are and what they bring ti their character :)

This phantom is Killian Donnelly

@@nickygreen3085 yes I know I work at the theatre. I see Killian every day

@@nicolescott89 my apologies. It read as if you thought the Phantom innthe video was Erik. Im envious that you get to see Killian every day too 😊

@@nickygreen3085 Erik is the phantom’s name in the original novel

@@nicolescott89 I just went to see it and it was incredible!

Pampered

Kilian as well.

The phantom stinks.

+ Erik Phan i love you

Nope. Piterman and Mathieson were far better than this cast.

This is Killian Donnelly, not Eric

@@nickygreen3085 Erik is the phantom’s name

@@mandyyu373 I must read the book one day.

While it does sound weird out of context, the Phantom was always meant to remind her of her father on some level, so it makes sense for him to be a little older too.

@@879SCSP He was A LOT older actually😅 in the book it says that she's 16 years old I think and Erik is 50-60ish 😳🤢🤢

@@orianamandi Yeahhh, the whole Erik and Christine subtext thing only works in the musical where everyone's an adult. Anywhere else and it's yikes.

@@orianamandi NO, she was NOT 16. That was a mistranslated line and the fact that so many of you trot that out to shit on Erik's character is infuriating. She was 20. In the book, he was 50. In the musical, she is 20 and he, especially nowadays seems to be solidly in his 30s. By the way, women often married at 20 in 1880 and often to men who were at least a decade older. :')

@@879SCSP In the book, she's 20, dude.

right?? dude strait up looks like Alec Baldwin i am here for it!! The 👏Phantom 👏is👏 an👏 old👏 perve

@@theshockinglyeloquentdog9945 👍😂

Why? Kelly Mathieson was fantastic.

@@blissinchains first of all what do you mean why because she's pretty she has a beautiful voice and I never got to see a beautiful black culture woman did this type of stuff before ever in my life this makes me happy because are always thought that you had to look a certain way to get these roles now I see that every culture can do it I love it so much but the best Christian are Lucy St Louis and emmy rossum and Mary Philbin 😁

Eww lol

@@actorjulion101 That was my exact reaction lmao xD

I CHDOCKED ON FHIS COMMENT

I think Ramin takes his place as the top phantom he’ll forever be the best

Ha, I’m the same. I think I’ve been spoiled lol.

@@bonehand87 I did indeed and although he is fantastic I still think Ramin is the best

Highly disagree with all Killian hate, he’s the best singer in the whole lineup if you watch it live. Saw it three days ago and his voice absolutely shook the crowd, never off key and amazing. Lucy and Rhys are also excellent performers, best Christine in all of phantom’s history

Yep

I WAS LOOKING FOR A COMMENT ABOUT THIS

@@sofie.h Absolutely....but why do you suppose?? Maybe he was nervous and was just going "I can't believe how nervous I am" because he seems to take a deep breath. I have to say, after I've seen Ramin Karimloo sing these songs so many times, I just....this performance is lacking to me. It's very subjective, but Killian's voice is just sort of average, and the Phantom should be stellar. I don't want to knock a performer; he was outside, probably hasn't performed in front of an audience in a long time, he may even be sick. But he's just no Ramin.

I was there yesterday and none of us picked up on that! Haha.

@@elizabeth5985 idk but that ‘beeeeeeee’ is so powerful for me 😳 not more than Ramin but definitely not ‘average’

@@elizabeth5985 I saw the show yesterday afternoon and his Music of the Night was MUCH more impressive than in this recording. Sometimes the sound at west end live is really dodgy haha

It definitely looks like him. I think his voice just sounds different because of the operatic singing style

Right that’s what I thought after I put this comment on

It is Killian Donnelly! :)

Nope, its Matt Harrop, he was cast as firmin for the now cancelled uk& ireland tour
