One of the times I saw this on Broadway during the, I’m here…I’m here…I’m here scene the gun didn’t fire. There was a second of silence and Steve Barton who was Raul at the time said… “You fool…why didn’t you shoot? The opposite of the normal line. There were a few chuckles in the theatre that realized the blooper, but it seemed most didn’t realize the mistake. I’ve seen it many times and that’s the only blooper that’s happened.
It's good improvising when a prop doesn't work. But it's also very funny character wise. Raoul: you fool! I said only when necessary! >:O Also Raoul: ... You fool. You didn't even try. :/
It is so hard to describe what it is to watch this in front of your eyes. No video will ever translate what Phantom of the Opera is. Thank you for sharing! I am now looking forward to watch the new re-staged version in São Paulo, Brazil which has shown to be very promising. Especially when all songs will be sung in such a romantic language like Portuguese.
You all probably dont give a shit but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
I think that other staging was just for a short run in some European locations Next time I go to nyc You better believe that is the first thing I will be looking for
@@samuel_s.8181 I hate to disappoint you, but I'm in North America and have seen the show twice since they changed the staging. It is indeed no longer like this ☹️
@@keetard This was absolutely the original staging, or at least very close to it -- I've seen it three times in Toronto in the '90s when it looked like this
When Christine pulled off the Phantoms mask, I was like, don't be offended Phantom, women are naturally curious 🤨 even though she doesn't know what's behind the mask. She just had to see.
For a while I thought Simon was a bass, but nope, he is defs a baritone, and a really good one if he was able to play such a vocal demanding role like the Phantom. Way to go Simon!! Ur a great wiggle, and a great phantom too! ❤️🎶🎭
I saw Phantom first in 1998 at Qpac in Brisbane with Rob Guest as Phantom and then again in 2008 with Simon Pryce, he did the matinee performances. Now Simon is the Red Wiggle!
Cool! Although it would have been either late 1996 - early 1997. That's when the show was in Brisbane. I know because I saw it for the first time in February 1997 with Rob Guest and Dannielle Everett at QPAC as well :-)
Emily Greene I saw him in the role of the Phantom in Sydney in 2008. He was the understudy for Anthony Warlow. I was disappointed I didn’t get to see Anthony but Simon blew me away with his performance
Is it just me or do the Hannibal costumes look, er, less opulent? And the color scheme seems to be more bold than usual; rusty reds and browns, earthy greens. And there is less noticeable sparkle in Carlotta's while the wire hoops that push her dress out are far more noticeable. Hmmm.
This was actually just the Australian Tour that included stops in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth that launched in 2007- not the World Tour. The World Tour launched in South Africa in 2012 with Jonathan Rouxmouth as The Phantom.
No. The World Tour are we know it first ran in 2004-2009 and the revival ran in 2012-2016. Both of those tours started in South Africa and covered many Asian cities. The later also went through Australia. That is of coarse if you don't count the Canadian Far East tour that ran 1995-1997 to be the first world tour. And we know this to not be just a strictly Australian tour because the Australian productions and tours ran from 1990-1991, 1994, and 1996-1998. So this is in fact the Australian leg of the First World Tour.
@@dianadechagny The 2007 Australian Production and it's actors and sets were repurposed for the second half of the World Tour in order to justify the expense of staging the full production in Australia and New Zealand. Anthony Warlow reprised his famous 1990 performance as the Phantom in the 2007-2008 Australian tour, but he was later replaced when it was decided that the Australian version would continue on as the relief cast for the second half of the world tour, and the sets would be repurposed. You are both correct. This cast began as the 2007 Melbourne Australian cast with Warlow in the lead, but later became the relief cast of the second half of the World Tour. Australian productions often continue into world tours, sometimes as the relief cast and renewed sets, to support the cost of staging expensive shows in Australia and NZ, countries that do not have large populations. The same thing happened with the 2014 Australian production of Les Miserables. It was decided during the production that it's cast and sets were going to be reused to relieve the then current World Tour cast who needed a break.
I saw the national tour in San Diego 2008. It was amazing and my first ever Broadway. It is much better than the Gerard Butler movie. The costumes and set are what I love about the show.
@@dianadechagny Oh, okay! I just recalled both Ana and Alexander being in Australia around that time for this show. Was Australia perhaps one of the stops?
@@dianadechagny Australia was not one of the World Tour stops, it is the 2007 Australian Tour however that formed the basis of the later world tour which re-used the sets and some cast members as the relief cast for the World Tour second half. But actually Anthony Warlow reprised his famous 1990 portrayal of the Phantom in the 2007-8 Australian tour. He was replaced when it was decided the production was to be adapted into the relief for the world tour, and obviously didn't do the role in Brisbane (last Australian stop). Australian & NZ Tours of major musicals often form the basis of World Tour productions or relief casts to justify the expense of staging the show in Australia. The 2014 Australian & NZ tour of Les Miserables also later continued into a subsequent world tour.
@@colliric Thank for that. Makes sense now that when the Lion King tour came to Hawaii it was filled with people from the Australian Cast. Scar and Simba were the only ones that weren't from the Australian Cast.
I gave this a 'Thumbs down' because of the poor video photography. Everything was jumping around and unfocused at times. I couldn't be bothered to watch just after two minutes. Felt like I was on a roller coaster ride.
kegan32 ......try recording in a theatre lol...let’s see how perfect yours is.....especially with a show like phantom!!!! so many things happening in different places
Okay but you can't expect pro-shot quality from an illegal bootleg on youtube lol. If you want good quality rent the 25th anniversary proshot or just go see the show.

I'm sorry to say so but the video is miserable, I saw it live in Hamburg and it was great, sorry but picture and sound is unbearable

I'd be so interested to see what you think about the videos on my channel... I know this is an old comment, but nonetheless!
57:17 I like that someone from the audience said "Did you see that!?"
I wish they kept the staging like this -- far more effective
I agree now it’s absolute crap if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
I think that other staging was just for a short run in some European locations
Next time I go to nyc You better believe that is the first thing I will be looking for

@@vitaminck1 I believe that's a restaged tour and not a proper tour done with original staging.

This Raoul is so dreamy and handsome!!❤️❤️
Simon Pryce's voice 😍😍😍and just him in general ❤️
“He sang with the voice of the God of Thunder.” I can sense that.
For a while I thought Simon was a bass, but nope, he is defs a baritone, and a really good one if he was able to play such a vocal demanding role like the Phantom.
Way to go Simon!! Ur a great wiggle, and a great phantom too! ❤️🎶🎭
Oh shit this is the show I saw when I was seven, it was burned into my brain ever since
My god, the man is a tree.
Idk why but 30:30 reminded me of one of those cat videos of them massaging its human 😹😹
Thank u for uploading this. Enjoyed it thoroughly!

I watched Warlow in the same production during its 2007 Melbourne leg... He was amazing.
@@titavaughns7698 haven't u heard of The Wiggles?
@@titavaughns7698 did u ever see Anthony Warlow in the role?
he’s so BIG
malia voigt 🌚
malia voigt that’s what she said 😇😇😇
🤣
😲😲😲 He is!!!! Wow
Alex is Ben lewis‘s brother/ Ben is also a excellent phantom！！！！
Alexander is soooo handsome!!!❤️❤️❤️
That's Simon Pryce!
That height difference though
Alexander lewis playing Raoul sounds just like his brother Ben Lewis
Some of Simon’s phrasing and emotional interpration is bad, but his voice sounds so rich and perfect for the titular character.
Emily Greene I saw him in the role of the Phantom in Sydney in 2008. He was the understudy for Anthony Warlow. I was disappointed I didn’t get to see Anthony but Simon blew me away with his performance
He's pretty good I gotta say. I had no idea he was the Phantom til I read it up somewhere
Well, he’s certainly no match for Anthony Warlow, but who is?
Angel of Music - WOW!!!
I love it
1:50:29 The world showed no compassion 2 me!!
Love the way he says it
Who's playing Christine? I love her voice very much!
Her name is Ana Marina =)
donabelle dayta Anna marina
Is it just me or do the Hannibal costumes look, er, less opulent? And the color scheme seems to be more bold than usual; rusty reds and browns, earthy greens. And there is less noticeable sparkle in Carlotta's while the wire hoops that push her dress out are far more noticeable. Hmmm.
Yeah, they definitely skimped on the details (petticoats, added sparkle, etc)
Fabulous
Wait a minute. I thought that Ana was only part of the Australian show with Anthony Warlow
Twisted Ever Way seemed weirdly quick.
Does anyone know who plays André and Firmin?

What is it that Madame Giry comes across during Down Once More / Final Lair on the catwalk and makes her scream?
A ratcatcher
I have always wondered thay myself! It drove me nuts not knowing.
This is good who is the rest of the cast?❤😀
1:15:18 Red Death
is he the brother of stage actor jonathan pryce
Are you sure that this wasn't a video of the plain, Australian cast?
IsrafelScarletRaven yes i am. the wigs and the costumes are a stage lot made for the world tour.

What was cut from this show to make it under 2 hrs?
Around 5 mins of the Prologue and Magical Lasso
@@melissam597 perfect. Thanks for letting me know.
Who is the phantom. I saw phantom in March of 2008
I think the phantom is Simon Pryce
@@thinmints4life he understudied the main phantom Anthony Warlow during this tour
