Playing a HAUNTED PIANO - Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre | Cole Lam

  • Bucket list ticked off just before Halloween! I played Phantom of the Opera on a HAUNTED PIANO at Her Majesty's Theatre where Andrew Lloyd Webber's ‪@phantomoftheopera‬ has played for over 36 years! This was during the interval, and there is a piano at the Dress Circle bar, so what else can an aspiring pianist and composer do but to have a little play?
    I did not expect the Phantom to get annoyed and interrupt me, but maybe he wanted a piano battle! Was a little worried about all the smoke, but not the Phantom or the smoke can stop me!
    I have heard the musical before and seen bits of it on TV and RUclips, but this was the first time I have ever seen it, and it was amazing. Christine was played by Holly-Anne Hull, and she was brilliant. The Phantom was James Gant, and in my head they were singing the parts as I was playing it. It certainly helps having watched them live and feeling the raw emotion in their performances.

      Awesome piano cover esp with many key transpositions which make it sound grander! You sure built up an audience!
      Is this a Yamaha Disklavier which had programmed a few bars of the same piece?
      Did u flip the play button or was did someone else do it, timed with a smoke machine?
      Makes a great spooky performance! LOL 👏👏👏👏👍🤣😵😱

    What a fun and lovely experience you had there, Cole! Did you notice? The Phantom was watching you throughout your performance. Look at his face in front of the piano, he's staring at you and thought "I'd challenge this kid to a piano battle!" 😱 And he tried to scare you Cole! LOL! 😂 But you beat the Phantom! Best ever fiery piano rendition of Phantom of the Opera! Just brilliant and Amazing! Woo! 👏👏👏 Enjoyed watching Lodi Cole! 😊 Thanks for sharing this fun "journey / milestone" with your fans!

      Hi Ray, Cole has played "Phantom of the Opera" live at least 3 times before this one. The first I recall was 4 years ago when he was 11, that was at the public piano they had then at Tottenham Court Road Underground station. 2 years ago he played it on the brown piano at St. Pancras . The latest was on the black piano at St Pancras. I was there with him on that day as well as two other patrons, George and Gavin. They are all still on Cole's RUclips channel. However, this performance, actually at the theatre, I think has been the best.

    WOW Cole, That crowd of theatregoers were certainly in for a surprise performance for which they hadn't paid. I don't suppose that even they thought that the very talent Cole Lam could set fire to the piano. I bet that was a bit off putting, when the piano started playing itself. This was tremendous. Like Ray, I have seen Phantom three times, each time has been in London. I too love the music and you will recall that you learned and played "All I Ask of You" from this classic musical for me and made a special video of it at home. Well done, it certainly drew the crowds, I should have been there with some flyers, to get your subscriber and patron numbers up.

    Again, you showed that you know how to draw adoring attention anywhere that you perform. Just imagine opening this great musical with a performance like this backed by the theater organ, maybe played and recorded by YOU! You provided great theater and some drama. Your hair styling department deserves a raise or a hug for hair that covers your eyes during the most dramatic parts. On to the next on your list.

    Cole, brilliant performance! I imagine seeing the theatrical performance live did probably add some inspiration to your playing even though you are always so very self-motivated. I must ask, because I've always known you have some thespian in you, was the haunted piano and smoke really a surprise, or were you acting, either way it was delightful to watch. btw, I'm sure you know "The Killer", Jerry Lee Lewis passed away this week. While I knew he was ailing and quite elderly (87) it was still very sad to hear. Might you consider playing a tribute (no matter how small or big) to the killer? You know I, for one, would sure enjoy it. Well thanks for this fantastic Phantom performance and as always, Love ya buddy, stay safe and healthy.❤❤❤👑of🎹👏👏👏
