If you look closely at his fingers by her face when he kisses her, they shake just like they shook when she kissed him for the first time in the 25th anniversary of the original Phantom
+Danielle Burger because he actually understands the role and grew up loving it before he ever had a chance to become the Phantom. He also is very could a coming off much older than he actually is for it, marvelous.
for me it was when Gustave hugged Ramin that's when I died. I watched the Australian version before and I still started crying when he hugged Ben. ugh I'm so sad now
I always sob when she sings the line "Come closer I beg you...." Now if you excuse me, I need to find a corner to cry in for the next half an hour and eat my sorrows away :'(
..sadly, IRL Meg would have gone to the gallows for this. UNLESS .. the Phantom spirits them all back to Paris under new identities, saving Meg, but presenting a new challenge to raise his son, as the boy reaches manhood, finds he must battle the genetic demons inherited from his father, as he struggles to find a balance in Life between mad genious and musical brilliance that haunts him .. as once again, a beautiful young opera ingenue (in the shape of Meg's illegitimate child? - Raoul's daughter from a 2nd marriage?!!) seeks to become the newest rising star of the Opera Populare? can these children, together, raise each other to the heights they both deserve?! and a final, glorious happy ending at last, for all? ..... just an idea I had ... :D
Daniel Epps I think the opposite. Christine was a dramatic person on her own anyway. But Ben from the Aussie version would speak like a Dracula-wannabe kind of voice which made me wish he sang more. I loved Ben's singing, not as much as Ramin's, it had proper emotion. This sequel wanted to be more realistic, so the phantom would be more...human. Less Dracula
Aussie sets, plot, lyric changes and scene changes + Ramin and Sierra = perfection!!!!! They r somuch more realistic, natural and convincing then ben and anna! Ben and anna appear wooden, stiff, uncomfortable with each other and don't show the proper emotions!
also the recorded one had more dialogue and singing but youre right, they should have had everything therecording had but only ramin and sierra playing the paer instead
Hey I might've found a way to show u guys the ending where Ramin screams NO after she dies. Let me know if this works for u. drive.google.com/open?id=0B_L6mcMC9E0qSWEzVUh3bHcwSU0
I actually like this ending better than the Australian version for several reasons: 1. Erik doesn't scream 'no' after Christine dies, which totally ruins the moment 2. Ramin and Sierra aren't acting frantically to cover up her wound, which Ben and Anna were doing, and because of that, it didn't look very real 3. Erik hesitates to kiss Christine, which adds more emotion to this scene. 4. Ramin isn't crying at every moment. Overall, this ending is better portrayed than in the Aussie version
Yes. I also think it's more believable that Meg comes out, because Raul left earlier so????? So Meg coming back and holding Christine regretting what she did works so much better
When I first saw this and he said "we can't all be like Christine" I knew something bad was about to happen! Lol wrong choice of words to use while talking to an unstable woman
I love the songs. And even if I hated the ending, I always knew Erik and Christine weren't meant for a fairy tale happy ending. However, what they did to Meg's and Madame Giry's characters are unforgivable IMO, In the POTO, Meg was sweet, brave and a loyal friend to Christine. And Madame Giry was strict but her heart was in the right place. Here, Meg became obsessed with Erik and Madame Giry became emotionally abusive to Meg. They even made her hate Christine when they knew the reason why she had to leave Erik the first time :(
So true. Webber wanted them to get together but knew that that would be too much of a stretch. So he chose to make them confess their undying love and kill of Christine right after that. That man has no soul lol Seriously, though, the out of character acting for Meg and Mme Giry are truly terrible. First of all, Meg was a dancer, never a singer, but in LND, she miraculously turns wannabe singer and becomes obsessed with pleasing the phantom. What the actual f... And then she kills Christine? (Although in the original Melbourn show, it's an accident... At least in the London one they have fake blood) And Mme Giry... Dear Lord. If I could have, I would have asked a refund.
HollowMist11 I'm not defending meg for killing Christine but did you know meg was sexually harassed by someone in Coney Island? That is what made her so upset.
Ummm So all of ya peps dont know it seems since Madam Giry knew The Phantom and where he lived , who he was what had happened to him and this stuff. But cuz the phantom was born with a distorted face caused by an infection and he always had to hide himself in darkness and never could form a normal relantionship with anyone. I think that he must have seen that Madam Giry had a daughter who danced balley and im not very sure but i dont think Madam Giry knew about what was going on between Erik and Meg. Erik literally used her for many years for his "needs" if u get what i mean . And Meg was probably too afraid to tell her mom. In the beggining Meg didnt want this kind of thing but then the phantom promised that he would make her famous and rich and they would stay together. But Christine came in the game and the Phantom changed . He genuinely fell in love with Christine and her voice . And thats why Meg was jealous of him and Christine because she had given him everything and he had promised her fame and fortune but then her best friend comes and takes it all away from her. So Meg was very angry at Christine at LND when she found out that Gustave was Christine and Eriks child and The Phantom still loved Christine and never loved her. Meg wanted to be a singer when she came to USA because she thought that since The Phantom like Christine for her singing he would like Meg too if she was a singer. That being said when things still didnt work out between Meg and Erik she became jealous and wanted to kill Christine !
Me: NOT GOING TO CRY. NOPE NOPE. Christine: Kiss me one last..time.. Me: T.T BUT WHY DID SHE HAVE TO DIE?! *Gustave hugs phantom* Me: Well, this is SOOOO my favorite version. T.T Emotionaly tired..
My version of LND finale 1, christine DOSE NOT DIE 2, after meg says "it's always christine" she accidentally shoots herself 3, christine, gustav, and erik run away together to somewere (probably germany) 4, it takes place in Paris 5, police surround them (to try and arrest meg) 6, christine and erik get married
I'm sorry guys but I just don't get how people don't see how much emotion and passion is coming from these two and say the Aussie version is better. Anna and Ben even when kissing looked so fake and stiff and wooden. They just had no chemistry to me. Ramin and Sierra just have such real emotions, not all dramatics like Ben that made his emotions seem so fake. I mean it's as simple as Sierra stroking Ramins hand and him holding her tight at 528, it's just so real. To Ramins hesitation to kiss her for that last time knowing he will never be able to kiss her again. It's those little things the Aussies missed that made their performance dull and unemotional. Also someone saying Ramin had no emotion after her death is just wrong his hand that was on her face is shaking as he realizes she is gone, holds her tight and looks up with tears in his eyes like god why did u take her from me. It's realistic emotion without that crazy dramatics of Ben that felt fake and unrealistic.
I know what your saying and I agree with you. The chemistry between Ramin and Sierra is phenomenal. IMO. Even ALW said it himself how much passion they have between each other. Ben and Anna version was pretty good I'm not going to lie but.... This version is just so awesome. The bonus to me is how Ramin and Sierra was able to tie this movie with the ending of POTO 25th anniversary. Just beautiful
It's all personal preference ya know. I personally didn't like their acting at all. Anna felt like to me that she hated him the entire show. I mean yes I agree with her being very pissed off at him for leaving and not being 100% receptive to him at first but anna never showed any love to me just pity, hate, anger, and even mesmerized or enchanted by him in bams but no love. Sorry I just didn't feel anything between Ben and Anna to the point if them actually looking ackward together. Ramin and Sierra r just so natural in their emotion and not about the dramatics like Ben. To each their own though but these two r far superior IMO!!! They were outstanding in the 25th!! U don't get any better then their chemistry! Aussies had the far superior set, lyrics, and plot but u don't get any better then Ramin and Sierra! I wish they would've made a DVD if these two wish the Aussie set ect that would've been amazing!
Ramin and Sierra's onstage chemistry is near palpable and greatly exceeds Anna and Ben's. Having said that, I think those that prefer the Aussie production do so not because they like the two leads better but because the production value is greater and the show on a whole is just cleaner and more cohesive. That's my reason for liking it more at any rate. If the Australian version could be revived using Ramin and Sierra, I think the show would be near perfect.
Agreed I'm just waiting until the anniversary on Love Never dies so they can get get Ramin and Sierra to play them again like Phantom because they could do or just film it with them coming back to the roles for a "one night only" sort of thing because it would make such a better movie then the Australian version
they should really make a version with the Australian set and the London prouduction as cast ( execpt for Meg. they sould really use the Meg from the Aus prod)
I also like in the Australian set where Meg killing Christine was an accident. She meant to kill herself, the Phantom tried to stop her, and the bullet went asscue and hit Christine.
Okay, hi again. Anyways, WHY ARE THE MEDICS SO SLOW? WHY? ARE THEY FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MILES AWAY OR SOMETHING? Okay, rant over. But seriously?
Lexi Autenrieth That makes sense. Plus, the medics in the early 1900s probably would have been clueless as to what to do with a bullet wound. I mean, I'm no one to talk because I'm just as clueless. Haha.
Their chemistry is absolutely unreal. I know a lot of people wish that Ramin had screamed like the Australian version, but it always felt forced to me. The phantom doesn't always react to things like he should, it seems more fitting that he would go into shock (like Ramin) and have almost no reaction
if you put the set form the Australian version and add this cast it would be the perfect movie. I really with they would have filmed this one with that set.
+Potato Pineapple true..... But there is a fight between Ben Lewis and Ramin Karimloo... They are both phenom phantoms..... It would be epic af if Ramin played phantom, his son Jaiden played Gustav, and Ben Lewis plaid Raul.... That would be an awesome af casting job......
+Knichole Taylor I don't agree with your casting choices because Ben Lewis is much taller than Ramin Karimloo. Raoul should never tower over The Phantom, particularly in "Devil Take the Hindmost. "Ben is listed as being 6'2" and Ramin is listed as 6'. However, I'm not so sure those heights are quite right. When I met Ramin, I could look at his eyes without tilting my head up and I'm nowhere near 6' tall.
You can't beat this chemistry. These two have a genuine love for each other. But I would have LOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEDDDD to see this cast with the Australian staging and sets! It would be FLAWLESS!!!!!
I hate the end,like I've always wanted Phantom to be with her and now that she chooses him,she dies by her best friend,who c'mon was scared of a mouse at the POTP, this is so unfair.
Ooh! I heard in an interview that Ramin stopped acting for that part and just saw his best friend Sierra dying, and then he would cry on command. I want a friend half as good as him some day
omg Ramin & Sierra xxx match made in heaven x its so emotional this scene! Especially with these two! omg ...best phantom and christinne ever!!!! my favourites!!
Did anyone else notice they kept talking while the music spiked? And the fact that Raoul wasn't there was stupid. Oh another rant. And the fact madam giry wasn't allowed to go rip the gun out of her hand and pitch it in the lake is just stupid. CHRISTINE LOOK HAPPY IN ERIK'S ARMS! SOMEONE SET THIS STORY STRAIGHT. Does anyone else feel like there needs to be another sequel? Like,"The Phantom's Son"! *Rant over*
OMG I agree with you 100%! As much as I would LOVE to have an another sequel, I think it would feel like the story is being dragged out. It also wouldn't be the same without Christine!😭
I saw the filmed Aussie production first and then saw the full London one (bootleg) and I'm sorry, this is so much better. People were expecting LND to have the big, bold, colourful numbers that POTO did, but this is a different show. This version, with it's dreamlike, sombre colours and semi-minimalist approach better showcases the feel of Coney Island in that time period and better fits the actual score and storytelling. Sierra and Ramin have such authentic acting, it's more intimate, mature and honest in this. They understood how to dial it back a notch from the full drama and spectacle of POTO and knew why it would complement this production. Anna and Ben have great voices, but the acting felt melodramatic and hammy to me (particularly Ben) and the chemistry was off. Their more lush production is visually interesting but kind of works against the haunting beauty of this music. I watched the Aussie version and felt very meh about LND and then saw this, and truly 'got it', and now I think it's fantastic. Now it's 10 yrs later, and ALW needs to get Ramin and Sierra to do a filmed/anniversary version (love to see how they've legit matured from the hit that was the Albert Hall POTO) and then box both POTO and LND with lots of extras and fun Rierra clips and sell it. It will be a huge success and the definitive Phantom Vault we all want and need.
I thought something was different. I saw the Aussie version of the ending before this one and wondered where Raoul went. Glad Erik and Gustav were together. Keep expecting another edition of this where Gustav become a famous singer/composer.
For the ending scene I would have to put Sharon (Meg) from LND Australia Cast and then Sierra and Ramin from LND London Cast together! I feel like Sharon from Au had more emotion and better lyrics for Meg. Then Sierra and Ramin had better lyrics for Christine and Phantom and great emotions! If they put them together it would be amazing! Like all they are all talented! I just don't think Meg was portrayed as well in this cast and the Phantom and Christine weren't portrayed well in the Au cast!
Im crying, this is sooo much better than the Australian production. So much chemistry between Ramin and Sierra. I cant stop watching this. Thank you so much for sharing. xx
Meg is like dead to me. How could she just no. But amazing job Ramin and Sierra!! And omfg I wish I was Sierra dayum he looks like one hell of a kisser. That, and I've been in love with Ramin for as long as I can remember. 😍
So Eponine takes a little over 3 minutes to die....Christine breaks that record with a whopping 5 minutes. I think the Australian version did it a little better by cutting the reprise of "Look With Your Heart" much shorter.
I swear though....what is it with musical theatre and long drawn out death scenes. It's like "oh I'm dying......but I have enough time to sing a freaking song before I do...." And I'm like "You should be dead by now.....you cannot possibly have the energy or breath to sing a song for pity's sake." As well as....."WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!" :'(
Oh SHIT!!!! Ive never seen madame giry catch christine when she gets shot before!! But it makes me feel better, because even though her character got assassinated in LND, she really did care about christine... also, ive never seen meg come back for christine before... or the phantom offer her his coat. Missing raoul, but im lowkey digging a sorrowful meg
Well I DIDN'T EXPECT TO GET THIS EMOTIONAL My goodness!!! AHHHH!!!!!! ERIK AND CHRISTINE'S KISS, THE WAY HE KEEPS KISSING HER AFTER ARGHHHH. MEG COMES BACK AND THE WAY SHE IS CRADLING CHRISTINE. WHEN GUSTAVE HUGS ERIK. I AM NOT OKAY. I really liked the Australian version, but this ending. My goodness. I do wish Raoul was there though.
Okay,the first time I saw LND(Australian) I said,"Was ALW on crack when he wrote this?" Now as I watch this I am feeling different emotions. I know the things running through Erik's(Phantom's) head. But we actually get to see the deformities! *does happy dance* And Erik still doesn't know how to hug. *someone chuckles behind user* Don't ask me I know nothing. Oh did anyone else realize that in Les Mis(I haven't seen it yet but I'm reading it) Fantine sings,"I dreamed that love would never die!" And a few years later(because it was and ALW I believe wrote the musical LES MIS) Bam! LOVE NEVER DIES(I wrote fors on accident) But anyways Ramin shows a lot of emotion in this. I swear he was actually crying! Loved it and my Love will Never Die.
omg so much emotion! Ben Lewis could never beat Ramin Karimloo. I wish this version was the one they televised. DX Ben was a plank when preforming. At least you could tell the Phantom could feel when he was played by Ramin.
Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess will always be the best pairing for the Phantom and Christine. Always. They just ARE their characters, and this scene is so tear-jerkingly beautiful.
Okay the London version is like way way better than the Aussie version considering thwy were too frantic and throughout the whole movie Phantom (Erik) cried to much it was too annoying and the ending WASN'T passionate he kisses her lightly and then she died and then he screamed No or whatever but i think that Erik (Phantom) would be more depressed as in like a disorder nit as in your in deep sorrow like i have a friend with depression disorder and her close Grandpa died like they were best friends and she never cried it was almost like she was in shock so that is how i felt for the way Ramin Karimloo portrays the phantom in the ending of LND but i think that it made sense and the blocking was perfect and the acting was excellent and the singing was superb so çutos to Andrew and the orchestra! And Goodnight!!
The part that really starts me crying is when Christine sings Look With Your Heart to Gustave. The way Gustave's voice sounds so broken when he sings, "Look with your heart," is absolutely heartbreaking.
😩🥺poor Erik!!! poor poor Erik!!! poor Erik!!! poor Erik!!! The poor thing never gets a break! Christine doesn’t choose him and then when she finally does SHE DIES!!!!!!!!! Poor Erik !!!!! He never gets a break the poor thing.
I like how Meg came back in this one and we got to see her regret, I mean despite her jealousy of Christine….this was once her best friend! Seeing her holding Christines dead body and sobbing felt very real to me. And the way Sierra’s Christine wraps herself around the Phantom during that kiss just kills me. She knows she’s dying and she just wants to drown herself in him, she loves him so much! And Ramin not wanting to stop kissing her even though he knows she passed in his arms is so heartbreaking. Interesting he doesn’t scream in this one, but that look of absolute agony on his face says more then anything else ever could that he’s completely broken.
This ending was worser than the Australian version, and when I say worse, it was because it made me cry harder ;-; Tooo tragically beautiful. Both are nice, but the thing here is that Meg came back as if she had regained her sanity and realized that it was already too late to save her friend. Then when Christine wasn't able to hold her son again and many more bah :'(((( I'm crying don't touch me
I’ve seen the other version of this with these two where Raoul comes…but there is something about Meg coming back in this one that makes my heart wrench
Exactly!! Never seen this one!! The one with Raoul, feels so possessive, as in, "here is your woman!". With Meg, it feels so right. Erik and Meg both destroyed, that their dreams are over. 7:50 how she touches his hand!!
@@DanyMusicc i think it shows that Meg's remorseful of what she had done. It shows that she really love Christine too but her jealousy ate her and made her do such things.
While I generally like the show, I agree that Meg should not have ended up the villain--especially since she was supposed to be Christine's BFF. It would have been better if they picked someone else to be the villain, such as someone on Erik's/Phantom's staff.
I agree but I also love to pick apart the character now that she is the villain. Like in LND, everybody wants to play Christine, but I would rather play Meg, the emotional break down from start to finish. She's probably got the most arch out of all the characters in this show but she gets no love cause she's not part of the famous trio. I think the way Sharon Millerchip portrays the role still give that "best friend" vibe. Idk, I just think the character is made more interesting as a villain.
Ohhh 7:50, he offers Meg his cloak, and the way Meg touches his hand, taking the cloak off him, and he lets her touch his hand for a brief moment as consolation, and she holds it for just a bit too long.... 😍🥺I had not seen this before. This is so sweet and sad!! 🥺🥺 As if they both forgive each other and both suffer with an ending that is tragic for them both!
Indeed it is , there is more emotions and passion here. I can really fell christine's love, her heart opening to him for one last kiss! At last they are together . I wish they'd put this version on DVD !!!!
I love this so much. I felt that the movie version portrayed the Phantom's agony more than this one. Ben Lewis, cried and screamed a heart wrenching scream that sealed the deal. I love Sierra and Ramin, they are amazing at this. The new version portrays more facial emotions. Well done Ramin and Sierra, she is defiantly one of the best Christine's EVER. 😘
I have never cried so much with a finale on anything. Ramin and Sierra are the best pairing for Erik and Christine. Their chemistry is amazing and you can just feel everything emotion they are supposed to be feeling. I also wish this was brought on DVD other than the aussie version.
In the version I saw, Meg looked like she was about to shoot herself, but the Phantom tried to redirect the gun and the bullet ended up hitting Christine.
Dont know why but Ramin seems to be lacking the raw emotion he had in Phantom, I would have expected a lot more emotion from the Phantom when Christine dies.
+Merthurmad Quite honestly I am just getting around to having time to see as many of them as I can. I have been a Phan for years but just am seeing quite a few different ones for the first time. So far, Ramin is my favorite. That could change, but he was the one who had made me really fall in love with the Phantom.
They're so perfect! All the emotions I can't. 😩😩😭😭💔💔 I love when Sierra was dying here vs Anna's. Everything here seems so real. Even the hug and kiss and their fscial expressions and voices even if the video is not HD, I can still feel the pain and emotions. What more if this is in HD? I hope they's do a remake with grand stage design, props and costumes but with the original cast. I found another version of Ramin and Sierra's where Erik gave the ring to Chtistine. Then Raoul was the one who went beside her. Then Erik stood far from them and Gustave slowly walked to him and hugged him. No dialogues too. And Erik didnt take off his mask. Also, Ramin screamed NOOOOOO in that version. But for me, I liked that too. I love this and the other version vs Ben and Anna's. Both version of Ramin and Sierra's were so emotional. Even that scream. I felt that hard. And when he gave her the ring, I cried harder. I love the silent moments of Erik and Gustave too. I'm a new fan btw lol from POTO's 25th anniv when they did free streaming. Now I'm obsessed about these two lol
I might be a bit late but I would kind of liked it if they had made Christine’s last line something like It’s alright(spoken) Show him(Gustave) now,the music of the night(in music of the night melody) Or maybe Say you’ll share with him your life,each morning Say the word and he will follow you Share each day with him,each night each morning That’s all I ask of you (These might sound wrong)
I'd pay lots of money to see a musical in which every role was played by Ramin Karimloo.
Oh my god yes that's my new dream
yessss.
Well of course. Ramin Karimloo is literally the whole package. I'm totally in love! 😍❤️
Amelia Novak YAAAAAAAS!
Hell I would too
Phantom: We can't all be like Christine
Me: WHAT WERE YOU THINKING
same thing XD
Mirabai Baumann 🎵Christine Christine🎵 ALWAYS CHRISTINE!!!!
I was like DAMN YOU (hehe) LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE YOU FOOL
Phantom: Oops.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ was he thinking?
I'd probably die if Ramin Karimloo kissed me too.
Omg ikr I would be like "Eh idgaf about this show just keep kissing me"
Isa Schurink I know right
Me: "hedgyxiakwnebhfucu mmmm"

oh yea its cool
its a signature move of his as the Phantom..
I grew up with many different actors playing these parts, but Ramin and Sierra are perfection to me. they were born for these roles.
Brooke Wall-E see the Australian version of the love never dies song. Anna obyrnes voice was created for that song, so it seems. She is just angelic.
I agree 100%. They are perfect
The whole "she dies" part didn't make me cry, it was the way he kissed her. And he kept kissing her even after she was dead and THAT made me tear up
Same here I'm BAWLLLIIINNNGGG MY EYES OUT AT 01:00 AM in the morning!! And I don't want anybody herring me cry like a baby!!
for me it was when Gustave hugged Ramin that's when I died. I watched the Australian version before and I still started crying when he hugged Ben. ugh I'm so sad now
I always sob when she sings the line "Come closer I beg you...." Now if you excuse me, I need to find a corner to cry in for the next half an hour and eat my sorrows away :'(
Tear up huh? *Frantically wipes tears gushing from eyes* yeah no me too bro
Annika Wassilak same.
No one has chemistry like Ramin and Sierra
+jkrfan7 True
ikr
Preach
Yes omg I'm obsessed with them
They are perfect as Phantom and Christine and I think everyone knows that for certain now
How i imagine Meg in prison after shooting Christine: "I didn't do it, but if I'd done it, I betcha you would have done the same!"
..sadly, IRL Meg would have gone to the gallows for this. UNLESS .. the Phantom spirits them all back to Paris under new identities, saving Meg, but presenting a new challenge to raise his son, as the boy reaches manhood, finds he must battle the genetic demons inherited from his father, as he struggles to find a balance in Life between mad genious and musical brilliance that haunts him .. as once again, a beautiful young opera ingenue (in the shape of Meg's illegitimate child? - Raoul's daughter from a 2nd marriage?!!) seeks to become the newest rising star of the Opera Populare? can these children, together, raise each other to the heights they both deserve?! and a final, glorious happy ending at last, for all? ..... just an idea I had ... :D
Threadworxs I'd read/watch the shit out of that... do you have a fanfiction.net / AO3 account? If not, you should get one :-)
hmmm..... I've had someone else also ask me to build upon this idea ..
OMG YESSSSSSSSS!!! I love my fellow theatre geeks
both of them! he kinda made her do it!
It is criminal they did not record this.
They recorded the Australian cast! It's not Ramin and Sierra, but Meg is far more sympathetic, imo.
Preach.
I have a recording of Ramin and Sierra, if anyone is interested 😊 it's from 2012. just email me at musicaltradeaustria@gmail.com
@@RealAngelOfMusic I am soooooo interested!!! please! I need this in this phase!!!
I sent you an email, hope you get it.

Australian version: Better set.
London Version: Million times better because of Ramin and Sierra. So much more emotion.
Australian Set + Ramin and Sierra= PERFECT!

I actually like this ending better than the Australian version for several reasons:
1. Erik doesn't scream 'no' after Christine dies, which totally ruins the moment
2. Ramin and Sierra aren't acting frantically to cover up her wound, which Ben and Anna were doing, and because of that, it didn't look very real
3. Erik hesitates to kiss Christine, which adds more emotion to this scene.
4. Ramin isn't crying at every moment.
Overall, this ending is better portrayed than in the Aussie version
Yes, yes, yes and yes.
Yes. I also think it's more believable that Meg comes out, because Raul left earlier so????? So Meg coming back and holding Christine regretting what she did works so much better
For sure!
Yesssssss!
Isso é verdade.
Eu concordo plenamente
When I first saw this and he said "we can't all be like Christine" I knew something bad was about to happen! Lol wrong choice of words to use while talking to an unstable woman
yeah an unstable woman who In love with him and jealous of Christine and he meant to be smart
He had ONE JOB and he BLEW IT.
10:53 it took ten years for Erik to figure out how to properly hug someone.
Les Walking Dr. Musical Lover Why 10:53? thats the end! it's all black!
Finnaly learnt you don't do it with a rope

@@RachelXKnight666 That's the Phantoms name.
I love the songs. And even if I hated the ending, I always knew Erik and Christine weren't meant for a fairy tale happy ending. However, what they did to Meg's and Madame Giry's characters are unforgivable IMO,
In the POTO, Meg was sweet, brave and a loyal friend to Christine. And Madame Giry was strict but her heart was in the right place. Here, Meg became obsessed with Erik and Madame Giry became emotionally abusive to Meg. They even made her hate Christine when they knew the reason why she had to leave Erik the first time :(
So true. Webber wanted them to get together but knew that that would be too much of a stretch. So he chose to make them confess their undying love and kill of Christine right after that. That man has no soul lol Seriously, though, the out of character acting for Meg and Mme Giry are truly terrible. First of all, Meg was a dancer, never a singer, but in LND, she miraculously turns wannabe singer and becomes obsessed with pleasing the phantom. What the actual f... And then she kills Christine? (Although in the original Melbourn show, it's an accident... At least in the London one they have fake blood) And Mme Giry... Dear Lord. If I could have, I would have asked a refund.
In the Australian version meg shot her on accident and she was more remorseful.
HollowMist11 I'm not defending meg for killing Christine but did you know meg was sexually harassed by someone in Coney Island? That is what made her so upset.
Yup and her mother made/encouraged her to do it. Reeeeally sounds like Madame Giry doesn't it.
Ummm
So all of ya peps dont know it seems
since Madam Giry knew The Phantom and where he lived , who he was what had happened to him and this stuff. But cuz the phantom was born with a distorted face caused by an infection and he always had to hide himself in darkness and never could form a normal relantionship with anyone. I think that he must have seen that Madam Giry had a daughter who danced balley and im not very sure but i dont think Madam Giry knew about what was going on between Erik and Meg. Erik literally used her for many years for his "needs" if u get what i mean . And Meg was probably too afraid to tell her mom. In the beggining Meg didnt want this kind of thing but then the phantom promised that he would make her famous and rich and they would stay together. But Christine came in the game and the Phantom changed . He genuinely fell in love with Christine and her voice . And thats why Meg was jealous of him and Christine because she had given him everything and he had promised her fame and fortune but then her best friend comes and takes it all away from her. So Meg was very angry at Christine at LND when she found out that Gustave was Christine and Eriks child and The Phantom still loved Christine and never loved her. Meg wanted to be a singer when she came to USA because she thought that since The Phantom like Christine for her singing he would like Meg too if she was a singer. That being said when things still didnt work out between Meg and Erik she became jealous and wanted to kill Christine !
Me: NOT GOING TO CRY. NOPE NOPE.
Christine: Kiss me one last..time..
Me: T.T BUT WHY DID SHE HAVE TO DIE?!
*Gustave hugs phantom*
Me: Well, this is SOOOO my favorite version. T.T Emotionaly tired..
I was so surprised Christine faked her death when she was about to die so she could be with the phantom alone!!!
I find it amusing how you can hear the audience crying in the background. It's nice to know I wasn't the only one.
Ramin Karminloo and Sierra Bogess have such Chemistry and make every performance amazing
agreed
What if after Meg shot Christine Erik just yelled at her 'NVM U AIN'T NO DIAMOND U A PIECE OF COAL"
I just died that would be perfect 😂😂😂
I wish I could press this like button 1million times 😂😂😂
I mean... he *would* tho
Lucy Shearer 😂😂😂
My version of LND finale
1, christine DOSE NOT DIE
2, after meg says "it's always christine" she accidentally shoots herself
3, christine, gustav, and erik run away together to somewere (probably germany)
4, it takes place in Paris
5, police surround them (to try and arrest meg)
6, christine and erik get married
Corgi Corner Erik?
Where can I find this version
RachelXKnight666 erik is the phantom’s real name
It is true in the real story his name was Ernest gaston Lerroux novel vas inspired by a true story and the real neme of the the phantom was Ernest
The perfect end
ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER YOU FREAKIN E V I L GENIUS
Ma St. Godard Actually this is based off a book called Phantom of Manhattan...but he did discuss with the author so you’re not wrong
omg the way ramin kissed her…. if i were sierra OMG i couldn't staahhppp THE FEELS! for the record i cried lol. a lot.
lpslover28 couldn't stop or wouldn't stop??? Definitely, I would never stop
I'm sorry guys but I just don't get how people don't see how much emotion and passion is coming from these two and say the Aussie version is better. Anna and Ben even when kissing looked so fake and stiff and wooden. They just had no chemistry to me. Ramin and Sierra just have such real emotions, not all dramatics like Ben that made his emotions seem so fake. I mean it's as simple as Sierra stroking Ramins hand and him holding her tight at 528, it's just so real. To Ramins hesitation to kiss her for that last time knowing he will never be able to kiss her again. It's those little things the Aussies missed that made their performance dull and unemotional. Also someone saying Ramin had no emotion after her death is just wrong his hand that was on her face is shaking as he realizes she is gone, holds her tight and looks up with tears in his eyes like god why did u take her from me. It's realistic emotion without that crazy dramatics of Ben that felt fake and unrealistic.
I know what your saying and I agree with you. The chemistry between Ramin and Sierra is phenomenal. IMO. Even ALW said it himself how much passion they have between each other. Ben and Anna version was pretty good I'm not going to lie but.... This version is just so awesome. The bonus to me is how Ramin and Sierra was able to tie this movie with the ending of POTO 25th anniversary. Just beautiful
It's all personal preference ya know. I personally didn't like their acting at all. Anna felt like to me that she hated him the entire show. I mean yes I agree with her being very pissed off at him for leaving and not being 100% receptive to him at first but anna never showed any love to me just pity, hate, anger, and even mesmerized or enchanted by him in bams but no love. Sorry I just didn't feel anything between Ben and Anna to the point if them actually looking ackward together. Ramin and Sierra r just so natural in their emotion and not about the dramatics like Ben. To each their own though but these two r far superior IMO!!! They were outstanding in the 25th!! U don't get any better then their chemistry! Aussies had the far superior set, lyrics, and plot but u don't get any better then Ramin and Sierra! I wish they would've made a DVD if these two wish the Aussie set ect that would've been amazing!
Ramin and Sierra's onstage chemistry is near palpable and greatly exceeds Anna and Ben's. Having said that, I think those that prefer the Aussie production do so not because they like the two leads better but because the production value is greater and the show on a whole is just cleaner and more cohesive. That's my reason for liking it more at any rate. If the Australian version could be revived using Ramin and Sierra, I think the show would be near perfect.
That's why I wish that they hadn't filmed the Aussie one. I wish they had filmed this version with Sierra and Ramin.
Agreed I'm just waiting until the anniversary on Love Never dies so they can get get Ramin and Sierra to play them again like Phantom because they could do or just film it with them coming back to the roles for a "one night only" sort of thing because it would make such a better movie then the Australian version
they should really make a version with the Australian set and the London prouduction as cast ( execpt for Meg. they sould really use the Meg from the Aus prod)
Karina Gay Amora The Meg from the Australian cast was such a talented actress.
I also like in the Australian set where Meg killing Christine was an accident. She meant to kill herself, the Phantom tried to stop her, and the bullet went asscue and hit Christine.
100% agreement
'Remember love never dies' okay so now I'm crying
Okay, hi again. Anyways, WHY ARE THE MEDICS SO SLOW? WHY? ARE THEY FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MILES AWAY OR SOMETHING? Okay, rant over. But seriously?
I get your reference! RENT!!! YAAAASSS!!
okay, 1) RENT reference, brava and 2) IKR LIKE NOOOOOO CHRISTINE! CHRISTINE WHYY?!?! WHYYYYYYY!?!?!
Lexi Autenrieth That makes sense. Plus, the medics in the early 1900s probably would have been clueless as to what to do with a bullet wound. I mean, I'm no one to talk because I'm just as clueless. Haha.
Maybe the horse had a flat or ran out of gas. Ford Mustangs are unreliable
Miss.Dizzy.Lizzy no actually they had anesthetics and the proper tools to remove the bullet, but without an ambulance they can't get to her in time
Their chemistry is absolutely unreal. I know a lot of people wish that Ramin had screamed like the Australian version, but it always felt forced to me. The phantom doesn't always react to things like he should, it seems more fitting that he would go into shock (like Ramin) and have almost no reaction
if you put the set form the Australian version and add this cast it would be the perfect movie. I really with they would have filmed this one with that set.
Australia Meg was better
Potato Pineapple Defs!
+Potato Pineapple true..... But there is a fight between Ben Lewis and Ramin Karimloo... They are both phenom phantoms..... It would be epic af if Ramin played phantom, his son Jaiden played Gustav, and Ben Lewis plaid Raul.... That would be an awesome af casting job......
+Knichole Taylor I don't agree with your casting choices because Ben Lewis is much taller than Ramin Karimloo. Raoul should never tower over The Phantom, particularly in "Devil Take the Hindmost. "Ben is listed as being 6'2" and Ramin is listed as 6'. However, I'm not so sure those heights are quite right. When I met Ramin, I could look at his eyes without tilting my head up and I'm nowhere near 6' tall.
whitestar4507052 I met him too!
You can't beat this chemistry. These two have a genuine love for each other. But I would have LOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEDDDD to see this cast with the Australian staging and sets! It would be FLAWLESS!!!!!
yes yes yes yes yes
I hate the end,like I've always wanted Phantom to be with her and now that she chooses him,she dies by her best friend,who c'mon was scared of a mouse at the POTP, this is so unfair.
I have big hatred for Meg now.
Yessssssssssssssssssssssss same her
I think they should have had ramin and sierra do the austrailian version plz no hate i love them they didnt have him cry or fake cry
YES!!!
He did his screaming when she left him in Phantom.
Okay, is it me or does it look like Ramin, not The Phantom, is wiping away a tear or two at 8:12?
Ooh! I heard in an interview that Ramin stopped acting for that part and just saw his best friend Sierra dying, and then he would cry on command. I want a friend half as good as him some day
Wow that's some serious feels!
he is wiping his tears,yes
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THIS INTERVIEW IS OF RAMIN SAYING HE SAW SIERRA DYING MY WEAK PHANGIRL HEART NEEDS IT
Ani Seiler ouch man
omg Ramin & Sierra xxx match made in heaven x its so emotional this scene! Especially with these two! omg ...best phantom and christinne ever!!!! my favourites!!
Did anyone else notice they kept talking while the music spiked? And the fact that Raoul wasn't there was stupid. Oh another rant. And the fact madam giry wasn't allowed to go rip the gun out of her hand and pitch it in the lake is just stupid. CHRISTINE LOOK HAPPY IN ERIK'S ARMS! SOMEONE SET THIS STORY STRAIGHT. Does anyone else feel like there needs to be another sequel? Like,"The Phantom's Son"! *Rant over*
YEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
OMG I agree with you 100%! As much as I would LOVE to have an another sequel, I think it would feel like the story is being dragged out. It also wouldn't be the same without Christine!😭
DoxieGaming I AM SO PISSED! SHE FINALLY ENDS UP WITH THE PHANTOM (team phantom all the way) BUT NOOOO TEN MINUTES LATER SHE JUST HAS TO GET SHOT!
DoxieGaming The Aussie version is better go watch that one the full production is on youtube.
I've seen the Aussie version. Three times I think. I actually prefer this version over the Aussie version.
I'm wishing that these 2 would reprise the role on the 10th year anniversary of LND.
I saw the filmed Aussie production first and then saw the full London one (bootleg) and I'm sorry, this is so much better. People were expecting LND to have the big, bold, colourful numbers that POTO did, but this is a different show. This version, with it's dreamlike, sombre colours and semi-minimalist approach better showcases the feel of Coney Island in that time period and better fits the actual score and storytelling. Sierra and Ramin have such authentic acting, it's more intimate, mature and honest in this. They understood how to dial it back a notch from the full drama and spectacle of POTO and knew why it would complement this production. Anna and Ben have great voices, but the acting felt melodramatic and hammy to me (particularly Ben) and the chemistry was off. Their more lush production is visually interesting but kind of works against the haunting beauty of this music. I watched the Aussie version and felt very meh about LND and then saw this, and truly 'got it', and now I think it's fantastic. Now it's 10 yrs later, and ALW needs to get Ramin and Sierra to do a filmed/anniversary version (love to see how they've legit matured from the hit that was the Albert Hall POTO) and then box both POTO and LND with lots of extras and fun Rierra clips and sell it. It will be a huge success and the definitive Phantom Vault we all want and need.
You are so right!!!!!
The ending would have been better if Raoul had shown up like he did in the Australian production
I thought something was different. I saw the Aussie version of the ending before this one and wondered where Raoul went. Glad Erik and Gustav were together. Keep expecting another edition of this where Gustav become a famous singer/composer.
It makes no sense though, right? He left the island.
@@madih4586 well, it's a good thing changes were made to this show
Yay phantom gets a hug everybody needs hugs
But he still doesn't know how to hug. How does that work?
DoxiePlaysMinecraft He never had that affection shown towards him so, he never really learned
For the ending scene I would have to put Sharon (Meg) from LND Australia Cast and then Sierra and Ramin from LND London Cast together! I feel like Sharon from Au had more emotion and better lyrics for Meg. Then Sierra and Ramin had better lyrics for Christine and Phantom and great emotions! If they put them together it would be amazing!
Like all they are all talented! I just don't think Meg was portrayed as well in this cast and the Phantom and Christine weren't portrayed well in the Au cast!
Yes! Her, Raoul, and madam.
Im crying, this is sooo much better than the Australian production. So much chemistry between Ramin and Sierra. I cant stop watching this. Thank you so much for sharing. xx
I cry every time I watch POTO and LND.. Just a little too much. I blame my choir teacher..
Why did I cry harder here than Ben and Anna's?? Maybe it's because it's Sierra and Ramin. Also Ramin's emotions were raw
that moment when Gustave hugged Erik and then the tune of "you are so beautiful" played in the background oh gosh i cried
Why!!! Why must I get the Feels?!?!? Amazing no matter who is singing it!!
Meg is like dead to me. How could she just no.
But amazing job Ramin and Sierra!! And omfg I wish I was Sierra dayum he looks like one hell of a kisser. That, and I've been in love with Ramin for as long as I can remember. 😍
So Eponine takes a little over 3 minutes to die....Christine breaks that record with a whopping 5 minutes.
I think the Australian version did it a little better by cutting the reprise of "Look With Your Heart" much shorter.
I swear though....what is it with musical theatre and long drawn out death scenes. It's like "oh I'm dying......but I have enough time to sing a freaking song before I do...." And I'm like "You should be dead by now.....you cannot possibly have the energy or breath to sing a song for pity's sake." As well as....."WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!" :'(
Just pop in a classic Shakespeare “I AM SLAIN” and you’ve got a comedy goldmine
In the opera Carmen she took 10 MINUTES 😶 and we all had to stand there stretching out arms out 🥴
Don't really like the actress playing Meg but Sierra and Ramin are incredible as always
i like the one who played meg in the 25th much better..
But Meg In the 25th is supposed to be 13-16. That chick was 40 or something! It's like the movie Grease or Glee
soubrette87 she would be 27
BullZeye EDITZ soubrette meant in the original. She is a teenager there.
Oh SHIT!!!! Ive never seen madame giry catch christine when she gets shot before!! But it makes me feel better, because even though her character got assassinated in LND, she really did care about christine... also, ive never seen meg come back for christine before... or the phantom offer her his coat. Missing raoul, but im lowkey digging a sorrowful meg
Such a beautiful show......the ending before the changes....loved them both....they still make me cry.
This ending is sooooo much better than the Aussie version. You can really FEEL the emotions... Christine is happy to finally be in the Phantom's arms.
literally my fourth time watching this and I still cry ugh
THIS PART ALWAYS GETS ME SO FREAKING EMOTIONAL NO MATTER WHICH CAST
I might absolutely despise the story of LND, but God is the acting marvelous with this pair!
I saw this Version and the Australien end and I think this version is so much better...
i watch so many time and i keep crying at this part..so sad. heart pain T_T
Well
I DIDN'T EXPECT TO GET THIS EMOTIONAL
My goodness!!! AHHHH!!!!!!
ERIK AND CHRISTINE'S KISS, THE WAY HE KEEPS KISSING HER AFTER ARGHHHH. MEG COMES BACK AND THE WAY SHE IS CRADLING CHRISTINE. WHEN GUSTAVE HUGS ERIK.
I AM NOT OKAY.
I really liked the Australian version, but this ending. My goodness.
I do wish Raoul was there though.
My favorite version!
Okay,the first time I saw LND(Australian) I said,"Was ALW on crack when he wrote this?" Now as I watch this I am feeling different emotions. I know the things running through Erik's(Phantom's) head. But we actually get to see the deformities! *does happy dance* And Erik still doesn't know how to hug. *someone chuckles behind user* Don't ask me I know nothing. Oh did anyone else realize that in Les Mis(I haven't seen it yet but I'm reading it) Fantine sings,"I dreamed that love would never die!" And a few years later(because it was and ALW I believe wrote the musical LES MIS) Bam! LOVE NEVER DIES(I wrote fors on accident) But anyways Ramin shows a lot of emotion in this. I swear he was actually crying! Loved it and my Love will Never Die.
Yeah he did. Search it on google.
Andrew didn't write les mis Claude-Michel Schönberg did
MY BAD! I was thinking of cats! Whoops!
It´s so sad, CRYING ALL THE TIME
Meg doesn't have to be like Christine. She's her own unique person. =D
She's my favorite character
Well thank you for the Rierra pheels!! Crying like a baby right now 😭👏👏👏
omg so much emotion! Ben Lewis could never beat Ramin Karimloo. I wish this version was the one they televised. DX Ben was a plank when preforming. At least you could tell the Phantom could feel when he was played by Ramin.
6:25, the most beautiful kiss music I've ever heard.
Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess will always be the best pairing for the Phantom and Christine. Always. They just ARE their characters, and this scene is so tear-jerkingly beautiful.
this made me cry more than a little fall of rain from les mis. sierra and ramin's chemistry is so good.
Phantom: "take what little I deserve."
Me: WHO IS CUTTING THE ONIONS
In the end, Eric got what he needed... unconditional love.
Okay the London version is like way way better than the Aussie version considering thwy were too frantic and throughout the whole movie Phantom (Erik) cried to much it was too annoying and the ending WASN'T passionate he kisses her lightly and then she died and then he screamed No or whatever but i think that Erik (Phantom) would be more depressed as in like a disorder nit as in your in deep sorrow like i have a friend with depression disorder and her close Grandpa died like they were best friends and she never cried it was almost like she was in shock so that is how i felt for the way Ramin Karimloo portrays the phantom in the ending of LND but i think that it made sense and the blocking was perfect and the acting was excellent and the singing was superb so çutos to Andrew and the orchestra! And Goodnight!!
InfiniteDreamer very good explanation and I agree with you
Geez, why you gotta make me sob hysterically
A Little Fall of Rai-wait wrong musical
The part that really starts me crying is when Christine sings Look With Your Heart to Gustave. The way Gustave's voice sounds so broken when he sings, "Look with your heart," is absolutely heartbreaking.
😩🥺poor Erik!!! poor poor Erik!!! poor Erik!!! poor Erik!!! The poor thing never gets a break! Christine doesn’t choose him and then when she finally does SHE DIES!!!!!!!!! Poor Erik !!!!! He never gets a break the poor thing.
Phantom...you had one job...😢
If only they could put both versions together....bc each has there best moments like sets,singing, emotion..things like that
Please tell me I'm not the only one crying
Nope. I be wailing... my obituary is probably going to say something like: "She drowned in the river of her own tears."
Ramin and his sexy voice cracks are my life
I like how Meg came back in this one and we got to see her regret, I mean despite her jealousy of Christine….this was once her best friend! Seeing her holding Christines dead body and sobbing felt very real to me.
And the way Sierra’s Christine wraps herself around the Phantom during that kiss just kills me. She knows she’s dying and she just wants to drown herself in him, she loves him so much! And Ramin not wanting to stop kissing her even though he knows she passed in his arms is so heartbreaking.
Interesting he doesn’t scream in this one, but that look of absolute agony on his face says more then anything else ever could that he’s completely broken.
This brought me to tears
This ending was worser than the Australian version, and when I say worse, it was because it made me cry harder ;-; Tooo tragically beautiful. Both are nice, but the thing here is that Meg came back as if she had regained her sanity and realized that it was already too late to save her friend. Then when Christine wasn't able to hold her son again and many more bah :'(((( I'm crying don't touch me
I’ve seen the other version of this with these two where Raoul comes…but there is something about Meg coming back in this one that makes my heart wrench
Exactly!! Never seen this one!! The one with Raoul, feels so possessive, as in, "here is your woman!". With Meg, it feels so right. Erik and Meg both destroyed, that their dreams are over.
7:50 how she touches his hand!!
@@DanyMusicc YES!
@@DanyMusicc i think it shows that Meg's remorseful of what she had done. It shows that she really love Christine too but her jealousy ate her and made her do such things.
I don't like LND because they make Meg the villain
She is a cinnamon roll
While I generally like the show, I agree that Meg should not have ended up the villain--especially since she was supposed to be Christine's BFF. It would have been better if they picked someone else to be the villain, such as someone on Erik's/Phantom's staff.
+Montira Warran I agree. LND, especially the London version, made basically every character unlikeable.
I agree but I also love to pick apart the character now that she is the villain. Like in LND, everybody wants to play Christine, but I would rather play Meg, the emotional break down from start to finish. She's probably got the most arch out of all the characters in this show but she gets no love cause she's not part of the famous trio. I think the way Sharon Millerchip portrays the role still give that "best friend" vibe. Idk, I just think the character is made more interesting as a villain.
She shot Christine on accident
@@indie267 yes but she was going to drown the little boy.
Ohhh 7:50, he offers Meg his cloak, and the way Meg touches his hand, taking the cloak off him, and he lets her touch his hand for a brief moment as consolation, and she holds it for just a bit too long.... 😍🥺I had not seen this before. This is so sweet and sad!! 🥺🥺 As if they both forgive each other and both suffer with an ending that is tragic for them both!
Indeed it is , there is more emotions and passion here. I can really fell christine's love, her heart opening to him for one last kiss! At last they are together . I wish they'd put this version on DVD !!!!
Glad I'm not the only one crying!
"We can't all be like Christine"
*SPEECH: 0*
I love this so much. I felt that the movie version portrayed the Phantom's agony more than this one. Ben Lewis, cried and screamed a heart wrenching scream that sealed the deal. I love Sierra and Ramin, they are amazing at this. The new version portrays more facial emotions. Well done Ramin and Sierra, she is defiantly one of the best Christine's EVER. 😘
Sierra stroking on Ramin’s hand is just 🥺🥺💕💕
I have never cried so much with a finale on anything. Ramin and Sierra are the best pairing for Erik and Christine. Their chemistry is amazing and you can just feel everything emotion they are supposed to be feeling.
I also wish this was brought on DVD other than the aussie version.
This was so much better than the Australian version!
they make such a cute couple
In the version I saw, Meg looked like she was about to shoot herself, but the Phantom tried to redirect the gun and the bullet ended up hitting Christine.
Dont know why but Ramin seems to be lacking the raw emotion he had in Phantom, I would have expected a lot more emotion from the Phantom when Christine dies.
+Merthurmad Truthfully I expected alot more as well, especially they way POTO ended with all those screams. This still kills me though.
themistressladyg Have you seen the Australian one> Ben Lewis was brilliant, so full of emotion at the end I shed tears.
+Merthurmad Yes, I saw that one first. Ben is quickly becoming a favorite Phantom for me.
themistressladyg He is definitely one of mine. Him and John Owen Jones will always be my favourite.
+Merthurmad Quite honestly I am just getting around to having time to see as many of them as I can. I have been a Phan for years but just am seeing quite a few different ones for the first time. So far, Ramin is my favorite. That could change, but he was the one who had made me really fall in love with the Phantom.
I love this version. I wish this was the one they put on DVD.
This was how LND was SUPPOSED TO BE!!!
I cry every time...
I'm emotionally exhausted after watching this
They're so perfect! All the emotions I can't. 😩😩😭😭💔💔 I love when Sierra was dying here vs Anna's. Everything here seems so real. Even the hug and kiss and their fscial expressions and voices even if the video is not HD, I can still feel the pain and emotions. What more if this is in HD? I hope they's do a remake with grand stage design, props and costumes but with the original cast. I found another version of Ramin and Sierra's where Erik gave the ring to Chtistine. Then Raoul was the one who went beside her. Then Erik stood far from them and Gustave slowly walked to him and hugged him. No dialogues too. And Erik didnt take off his mask. Also, Ramin screamed NOOOOOO in that version. But for me, I liked that too. I love this and the other version vs Ben and Anna's. Both version of Ramin and Sierra's were so emotional. Even that scream. I felt that hard. And when he gave her the ring, I cried harder. I love the silent moments of Erik and Gustave too. I'm a new fan btw lol from POTO's 25th anniv when they did free streaming. Now I'm obsessed about these two lol
Love never dies - well I think it just did
I might be a bit late but I would kind of liked it if they had made Christine’s last line something like
It’s alright(spoken)
Show him(Gustave) now,the music of the night(in music of the night melody)
Or maybe
Say you’ll share with him your life,each morning
Say the word and he will follow you
Share each day with him,each night each morning
That’s all I ask of you
(These might sound wrong)
When Erik and Christine sing together in this and they are both in sync is beautiful but sad at the same time!😭
