I will never get enough of seeing Ramin and Sierra play Phantom and Christine together. They're absolute perfection.
Erik MUST be extremely handsome with his mask so that Christine is attracted to him. Otherwise it is just a horror show! It doesn’t matter how well the other Phantoms sing, if they are ugly etc. there is no temptation!
Fun Fact: The title song is the only one pre recorded. All combinations. Leads, Alts, Understudies. They do this to protect Christine’s voice from having to hit that insanely high note at the end.
I did not know that
That has nothing to do with it, it actually has to do with the staging, not the inability to sing the E6. Whoever plays the role still has to record it after all.
@@jenniferhiemstra5228 @Krista Shafer I think it's because of both the staging and preserving the person who is playing Christine's vocal chords. No doubt that any actress has trouble hitting the e6 live, but to do it 7 times a week (the understudy plays one show a week) will probably give them vocal nodules. Both Christine's and the Phantom's tracks are recorded for the title song also because they have to run down from the bridge looking thing (tEcHniCaL tErM lol) and start singing immediately after they are in the boat. There's a lot of running around backstage and onstage in the number so the mic can pick up a lot of unwanted sound.
(sorry long comment :] )
@@-flabbergasted Exactly, it’s the staging. But honestly, any well trained singer can do that melisma multiple times a week and still stay vocally healthy. Would it have to be done carefully? Absolutely. But as long as it’s done with care, it’s not as hard as it’s made out to be.
In reality Carlotta is the more difficult sing. She may have less stage time, but the vocal material make up for that. My first voice teacher did that role for a year back in the mid 90’s in San Francisco and the stories she told me were WILD
Someone told me that sarah brightman was doing it live!
Gosh! So many good ones! But I’ve got to say “Wishing You were Somehow Here Again” … Especially when Sierra Boggess did it at the twenty fifth anniverserary was remarkable! So full of emotion and her clear, resonant tone just gives me chills everytime.
Shes the best
5:36 The best part of Magical Lasso is that his description of the Phantom is actually closer to the description of the Phantom in the original novel.
I grew up going to Broadway shows, but none affected me as deeply as seeing Michael Crawford in Phantom. I took my children to see it years later, and now my granddaughter loves it. I am so sad that it is closing.
It will be back.
Wandering child has always been my favourite. It comes at the perfect moment after the climax of Wishing you were somehow here again. The first notes of Wandering child always reduce me to tears. Seeing Christine's fragility and the Phantom's love for her in this song just hits me in the feels.
This is such an underrated song! I love it too.
The only thing I regret is never having a chance to see poto personally, especially with Sierra and Ramin playing the main roles. I am totally obssessed with this musical and with Rierra combo. They are perfect
i would sell both my kidneys and a leg to see Rierra preform it again, especially how they did it at the 25th show! lol i'm OBSESSED
@@emirachelnatalie3397 me too.
@@emirachelnatalie3397I would do the same but to see Michael and Sarah perform Phantom again.
Farewell, Phantom, it had a phenomenal 35 year run on Broadway, but it's time to take a final bow. My favourite songs are probably "Point of No Return" or "Angel of Music."
I bet they will revive it like a lot of shows.
The drama of Point of No Return is just something else
They will, my fellow Phantom Phans! They will!
35 not 37
Please, don’t buy the pieces of Phantom. We can bring Phantom back to Broadway in its entirety!
After wanting to see Phantom live for years, I finally flew to NY to see it a couple weeks ago. It was so worth it
To be honest, Ramin and Sierra are HANDS DOWN! THE BEST Phantom and Christine EVER!
wandering child is criminally underrated imo, especially with all 3 characters singing. all I ask of you and point of no return are probably my favourites, though
Can you imagine being the final phantom for broadways run and sing the last part “it’s over now…” I can’t imagine not crying listening to that if I was there. Putting every last bit of you into the last bit.
Fun fact: The Music of the Night was not originally written for this show. It was intended for Aspects of Love and he wrote it for Sarah Brightman to sing.
I heard the version that was "Married Man" in another video.... yeah, definitely prefer it as "Music of the Night".
Another fun fact: most of ALW music is actually music from other artists just with different lyrics. He didn't compose as much as people are led to believe.
Music of the night by Michael Crawford is so beautiful to listen too. Best song.
Thank you so much for all the bits with the Original Phantom, Michael Crawford. NO one else has the pathos, talent and skill he brought to the role.
He didn't act. He was the Phantom
Music of the night is so iconic, as is this musical. Phantom has and always will be my fave of all time and I'm so glad I got to see it more than once in New York over the years
I can’t believe it’s leaving Broadway. Maybe someday, in some theatre, I will be able to see it.
I grew up watching Michael Crawford in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. An absolutely brilliant comedy actor. I bought the POTO soundtrack and it was literally years before I realized that Frank and the Phantom are the same guy!! Sorta like watching The Andy Griffith Show and then hearing Gomer sing. Michael will always be the Phantom to me.
I have seen the show more than a dozen times including NYC, London's West End, and I saw Paul Stanley in Toronto. But the best was in Copenhagen in a 300 yo theater and it was sung in Danish. ❤ and All I Ask of You in my favorite.
What year did you see it in Denmark?🇩🇰
@@Tullerkc 2004, I believe.
I'm so sad its closing today, these song will forever be some of the most iconic on Broadway!!!
My favorite songs are Music of the Night, Wishing You're Somehow Here Again, and Point of No Return. I love POTO and it will be sadly missed.
down once more is absolutely cracked, especially live, and towards the end with christine, the phantom, and raoul singing over each other. it's definitely one of my favorites as is angel of music, wishing you were somehow here again, point of no return, and music of the night
I adore this musical so much. My favourite songs hve to be 'Down once more', 'All I ask of you' and 'Wishing you were somehow here again'.
I feel like Im basic, my faves are "Think of me" and "all I ask of you", they always make me cry, along with the movie itself
Farewell, Phantom of the Opera. It is and will always be my favorite musical. "All I ask of you, Reprise," "Music of the Night," and "Down Once More/Track Down The Murderer" are my favorite songs from this amazing musical.
Ah one of my first Broadway loves hehe! I still think Angel of Music & Wishing You Were Somehow Here are my top faves & how they greatly contrast as Christine’s overall arc! & of course Music of the Night can be pretty incredible too! & Point of No Return 🥵🥵🥵
Haha so many good picks hehe! 🥰
Farewell Phantom, what a wonderful run. ❤
Personally I would have ranked Down Once More higher because of how beautifully it meshes all those melodies together for such an emotional finale, but Music of the Night is also (imo) the most gorgeous song ever on Broadway. Every time I saw it performed I was in tears.
Sierra and Ramin are my fave Christine and Phantom and was it was the first version of PotO I saw! I had the lucky chance to see Ben and Emily as Phantom and Christine on Broadway before it closed. Worth every penny!
My favorite is probably Phantom of the opera or the mirror/angel of music
My 8th grade teacher introduced us to the Phantom by reenacting the scenes for our school plays. It was the first play that ignited my love for theatre. Think of me and point of no return are my 2 favorites!
Phantom of the Opera was the third musical I saw growing up. It was a touring group that came to my hometown. I don’t know how many times I begged my parents to let me go with them (I was 10), but I’m so glad they said, “Yes!” Almost immediately, I was hooked!
My family and I used to go see this musical Honestly are used to listen to this music when I was little and it got me into Classical I’m sad that it’s going to end. My mom was telling me about that and when I found out I was shocked about it. I’m hoping to see it before it goes away. I feel sad knowing that it won’t be touring anymore, but Michael Crawford will always be the original phantom the opera.
I saw Phantom on Broadway in the early 90s with my high school concert band. It was my first Broadway show and will always hold a special place in my heart. What a magnificent run.
Your explanation of each of the songs is BRILLIANT! I saw this musical 25 yrs ago & listen to the soundtrack, but this video adds so much depth and meaning to my memories! You really know your stuff! Thank you for this wonderful video!!🙂
My favorite song is All I Ask of You. It was our first dance at my wife’s and my wedding.
Saw it 6 times and I'm already missing it
Think of Me, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, All I Ask of You, The Phantom of the Opera, The Music of the Night & The Point of No Return
I love The Phantom Of The Opera so much ❤
"Learn to be Lonely" - Minnie Driver 🗽
Phantom of the opera is my favorite musical, my favorite songs are music of the night, point of no return and phantom of the opera 😊
...thanks, Phantom. ...for everything.
My favorite song from Phantom of the Opera is the title song. To be honest, though, my all time favorite songs are the ones Erik (Phantom) and Christine sing as duets and solos.
Point of No Return, Wishing, MOTN - but the Title song always brings a thrill.
25:48 I always found it funny that you can see Ramins Tattoo here but the people who cut the "Film" version together kept it as -is
I'm sad that he is over for good, but I still have a mask from Amazon to remember him just like "Wandering Child" and "Bravo Monsieur", those songs almost made me cry but it was beautiful.
My first musical love from when I was 10 and my father got the cast recording on his 40th birthday. I've seen it a couple of times in Sweden and on Broadway, but a trip to London is not complete unless I include a visit to Her Majesty's Theatre, where I took my father for his 70th birthday last year.
My favourites are the Point of no return, All I ask of you, Phantom of the Opera and the Finale (inexplicably ranked 12th here).
First heard Phantom on a taped recording a family friend had put together. Fell in love with it almost immediately and in the early years of the 21st century, my sister took me to see it as a gift. Absolutely loved it and also loved the movie when that came out a couple years later, even though every review said it was lacking. Sorry to hear that it's closing, but overjoyed that it existed.
Phantom is not a baritone. It's a tenor voice. While some with deeper registers have played the character very rarely is it actually sung by a true baritone.
Agreed with this list 100 percent. Music of The Night is my favourite song from Phantom 🖤🤍
"Wishing you were somehow here again" and "Point of ne return" are my favourites
Today I'm mentally singing "help me say good bye..."
Ramin and Sierra on “The music of the night “ is my number 1 of all.
Thank You Phantom i saw it in Toronto May 26th 1999 and Paul Stanley (yes, that one, he likes to rock and roll all nite and party every day) was amazing!!
Great video. Though I think "Wishing you were somehow here again" should have been a higher rank than "Think Of Me".
I hope you'll do another video ranking all the Phantom of the Opera Movie adaptions. There have been a great number and it would be interesting for those phantom fans who haven't heard of them. Including the actors:
Lon Chaney 1925
Claude Rains 1943
Herbert Lom 1962
William Finley 1974
Derek Rydall 1983
Maximillian Schell 1983
Aiden Grennell 1988
Robert Englund 1989
Charles Dance 1990
Julian Sands 1999
Gerard Butler 2004
Ramin Karimloo 2011
Ben Lewis 2012
Anthony D.P. Mann 2014
Having the ending on the musical at number 12 is criminal
The Point of no Return. It's so passionate.
While I'm sad I never got the chance to see it live in NY, there's still some solace in the fact that the show still endures in other parts of the world. My favorite song will always be the title theme.
You should do a top 10-20 performers who have played the Phantom, including during tours. Ideally, top performers worldwide (Broadway, West End, international productions)... there are so many good ones, and you could use a combination of singing, acting, etc. to determine which performers ranked higher. Like Gary Mauer has great vocals, Peter Karrie made fantastic acting choices, Earl Carpenter has one of the most nuanced performances, Ethan Freeman is one of the most accurate to Leroux's novel, and so on.
I’m so glad I got to see this musical with my father just a few years ago.
I’m still hoping and wishing that a Live recording will be released. I’m getting irritated though.
Music of the Night! My fav!!
Raman karemloo’s rendition of music of the night
I absolutely love my OBC album...but Ms Boggess is the chef's kiss! (I'm old enough that my OBC album is 2 cassette tapes)
I watch this movie every New Year’s Eve
That opera has its final bow today.
Almost like that's the reason for this video.....
@@clarkestackhouse6587 It is the reason.
NOOOOOOOOO
@@thewcvb5fan319 I know it's called sarcasm, the people wanting to watch this will know too, thus making your comment ridiculously unnecessary
Remember that one video where you talked about The Mouth from the Bear in the Big Blue House song Brush Brush Bree that scared you when you were little?
My fave is definitely the title song. The beat to it is just phenomenal.
I really don’t think if people were given the choice to experience “angel of music” live, or the overture, they would have a hard time picking. Come on now!
Point of no Return was the O.G. favorite that every fan may shock you to death... the second unmasked of the Phantom now Erik.
Phantom: Sing my angel of Music... Sing for me...
I love most of the songs from "Phantom," but I've never cared for "Masquerade."
Для меня на первом месте - конечно Музыка ночи... Самое красивое и нежное творение из всего творчества сэра Эндрю.
This list was made me im huge fan phantom of opera favorite song is music of night and the phantom ofopera theme song and i all I ask of you and wishing you something here again
Music of the night is my especially from Raman Karemloo
DOWN ONCE MORE (25th anniversery version for sure) IS TOP 5 EZ
Farewell my life my soul my inspiration in life the thing that keeps me living. Farewell my love😭❤️
Gotta say Thank you to MsMojo for using footage from the stage show, especially the 25th anniversary instead of just that (god-awful wreckage) that was the 2004 film
The 2004 movie is better than 25th anniversary.
I would put Wondering child way above Magical Lasso, but I love your comments with each pick. By the way, am I the only one who is annoyed when Christine says: Father is dead, Raoul, and I have been visited by the Angel of Music. And Raoul only goes: sure, let's eat.
Her father is dead and all he thinks about is supper? For me, one of the most important reasons to be Team Erik.
Me who has never watched Phantom of the Opera: Hmm interesting, I totally agree 😌
It will return and I will be there to see it!!!
I seriously think you need to switch numbers 2 and 1 around.
On my bucket list to see
oh ramin…
Music of the Night is the best ❤
Thank For The Video 💞💗👍😍
Is it a hot take to say Music of the Night is the greatest song in musical theatre?
I was always a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera and it has always been a dream for me to play The Phantom in the musical itself as well as the sequel Love Never Dies and to me I feel that the songs are so hauntingly beautiful in a way that they seem to build up all the tension how one fights against the other for true love and risking it all to all the proceedings in the Paris Opera House however when it comes to musicals on film that draws a lot of inspiration and helps me to channel the inner Phantom character one particular performance was that of Gerard Butler in the 2004 film version which I quite like and for me I would be great at being the Opera Ghost character so that I hope to one day do that performance justice hopefully if I ever get that chance to star in the musical for years to come
Please do all the songs ranked for others famous broadway musicals
"Wandering Child" should be higher up on the list!
My Mom has seen Phantom of the Opera play once. When Robert Guillaume was the Phantom. She also has the soundtrack from the original with Michael Crawford. She likes to say that Michael Crawford is a loving passionate Phantom. While Robert Guillaume was an angry Phantom. They are her Favorite Pahnotms. She's really picky about other Phantoms.
Favorite song has/is/will be The Mirror;Journey to the Lair
The title song is my favorite. It really pissed me off that they cut an entire verse in the movie.
phantom of the opera is my favorit
great video
Wow this is 1 of the few times i totally agree with every number Leave dancing alone until you learn how to do the research
Michael Crawford will forever be the Phantom to me.
No one has what he gave that role
He played the role more sinister and joker like. Others have grasped onto the big intimidating version. Both are good for me. I do recommend Hugh Panero if you appreciate the more sinister vibes of Micheal. He does very well at the mad man part of the role.
I hope that some day it can come back to Broadway.
I bet it will.
@Collinlol_ I certainly hope so. That is my all time favorite Broadway musical.
''wishing you were somehow here again''
Masquerade love it
Angel of Music is my favorite
I’m sorry but the fact down once more isn’t top five is absurd, the trifecta of Raoul Phantom and Christine is amazing, and the ending! Come on man
It's amazing how even when I'm not WATCHING it I can immediately tell which clips are from that horrible 2004 movie. It's like no one could sing.
Anyway...Music of the Night will ALWAYS be my favorite song. As long as it's sung by someone who has the voice for it.
Patrick Wilson is a very good singer though!
This is a well known star and talent....commenting right !!!
