Wow he and "Christine" are quite friendly towards each other. I thought maybe they were spouses that got cast in the same show but nope, he's married to Kathy Voytko. Hmmm....very interesting.
For Christine, it's probably a lot of running after ALL I ASK OF YOU. She change to her "Countess" wig, sing the reprise of ALL I ASK OF YOU, and then run back onstage to do the IL MUTO bows where the Phantom brings down the chandelier!
How do they not know each other? They have singing parts together. Even in costume he'd be easy to recognize. Unless it was just a joke for the camera.
@MrSean24601 "I've always thought to myself "what if something were to go wrong with the chair?" my thoughts exactly. but i suppose if something went wrong with the angel, that would be more frightening
I shall be the next Christine Daaé. There is almost nothing left to teach me abiut poto and i already know all of the lines and verses to every song as long as they are the same songs as the film and or the same as the 25th aniversery proformance with Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo but Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler will almost alwas be my favs
I saw Marni Raab's name on the door and was so excited, because I love Marni Raab with all of my heart, but then I saw it was Jennifer and I was just a tiny bit disappointed.
when i saw this in person last year in November, in the beginning scene when the chandelier raises up, i was tearing up because at that moment it became real that i was at my all time favorite plays for the first time
@MrSean24601 No problem. Wht's even more interesting is how John had to deal withe the final scene when the chair broke. He had to sit under the curtain for five min. and when meg comes over to remove the curtain he had to softly wisper "i'm still here, don't remove the curtain". he had to hand hwer the mask while still under the curtain. he laughs at it now but it probably scared the hell out of him at the time
I saw the tour in Cleveland a couple of years ago. In fact, on a recent trip to New York, one of the things I had to do before we left was go to the Majestic and take pictures outside the theater.
I was in a show with Hugh Panaro, and I got to go backstage when I saw phantom. I walked on the stage, went in the basement, and saw him getting his make-up off. It was so cool! My favorite was the basement, with all the candles in there :)
he 's so funny :) john was the fist phantom i saw and he made me fall in love with phantom. but didn't see Jennifer it was Marni that day ;) (was he dating Jennifer?)

Is it just me or he sounds like a pilot making an announcement lmao
One of my favorite Phantoms
John!!! You were Raoul when I saw Ted Keegan in the role of the Phantom!! You are amazing! (yeah I know he'll probably never find this comment)
6:58 "no one else has seen this view but a phantom" yes, and the tech guy standing on the other side of you
I think he meant of the cast
I was there when Jennifer had her debut in Phantom. She killed it! Great actress!!
I've seen Phantom 5 times and John Cudia was the best.
The perfect Phantom gets a bullseye!! Love John - saw him twice. Please bring John back as Phantom!!
I LOVE THE PHANTOM!!!!! :)
For Christine, it's probably a lot of running after ALL I ASK OF YOU. She change to her "Countess" wig, sing the reprise of ALL I ASK OF YOU, and then run back onstage to do the IL MUTO bows where the Phantom brings down the chandelier!
one day im going to be there.... one day im going to be Christine.
shana weiss glad to know you then.
shana weiss can i be your phantom??😂😍
john ur phantom is awesome !!!
I swear one day, my choir and theater years in high school will pay off and I will be playing the phantom...
I swear one day my willpower and effort will pay of and I will be very proud Christine :)
Tereza Fri'Chickenisha I believe in you!!!
+PunkRockPixie I believe in you too! We'll meet there, k?
Break a leg! (also if you wanna collab for songs that'd be chill)
Have you guys made it yet?
He graduated from my high school!
I know it was awesome!!! and hugh panaro is SUPER nice and awesome to work with :)
I saw John, Ryan, and Jennifer last summer. They were all so fantastic. Can't wait to see the show again this fall! :)
luv his nose
handsome
"I'm John Cudia. I'm your Phantom. Nice to meet you. How is it going?"
I was standing on that stage at the end of March. Was so amazing to see the history and costuming backstage.
He’s so cute
John: Im your Phantom~ Nice to meet you~
Me: *cracking up*
John: Simple, black, understated. Just how I like it.
~lol
Is it me or does John Cudia look similar to Liam Neeson?Wonderful performer/singer too.Nancy Costello.
If they weren't both married, I'd totally ship John and Jennifer. They are both awesome!
Alison Hanna ikr they are so adorable together.
Sexiest phantom stars ever! That Raoul btw😍😍😍😍😍
I saw Hugh Panaro last Thursday. Oh he was amazing.
How do they not know each other? They have singing parts together. Even in costume he'd be easy to recognize. Unless it was just a joke for the camera.
The Raoul was probably new there...
He is Cuteliciously adorable!!! XD

I do not like this guy

@MrSean24601 it's a trick chair, the back opens up and the phantom just goes through the door and walks away.
It’s funny how the Phantoms started out as Raul’s.
@KatyHallow JAJAJAJA He hit the center why ? Because he is The frigging Phantom!
Thank you so much for posting! :) I saw this in April 2010, and never forgot it! Thanks!
I've never seen it on Broadway.. But I really want to! Here I come New York!
I saw him as Curly in OKLAHOMA! at the lyric opera. Met him and got his autograph
And I've seen the chandelier re-hoisted during the intermission, it's really impressive
It would be WAY to expensive to replace it during intermission energy night
The chandelier is designed so it can take any necessary impact
sooooo, excited im going to see this on the 29th x3
Johns Brother, Michael Cudia, works at my school.
only the phantom would hit the center... XD
I WANT THAT CHANDELIER SOOOOO BAD!!!!!!
He’s charming
Holy tacos batman.
TWO OF THE SEXIEST PEOPLE
@MrSean24601 as would i.
awww there soo cute!
Such a sweaty man
who were the phantoms
