He has finally found a place for his music to soar, all that is missing is his love Christine Daaé. In a bid to win back her love, the Phantom lures Christine, her husband Raoul, and their young son Gustave from Manhattan, to the glittering and glorious world of Coney Island... they have no idea what lies in store for them... You truly haven't experienced Andrew Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies until you see this spectacular new Australian production, filmed at Melbourne's iconic Regent Theatre.

    I feel like Ben Lewis doesn't get enough credit since everyone is gushing about Ramin. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Ramin's performance but Ben Lewis is the Phantom I always imagined. He is tall, slim and has something ghostly about him. Ramin's Pahntom is more of a sensitive eccentric, which goes well with the book and the original musical. I think it's impossible to compare them, both interpretations are equally amazing.

    I watched the Show twice and the second time I felt so much more comfortable with it! Media and bad reviews poisoned my opinion. I still think that the plot is a bit weird and nothing compared to „The Phantom of the Opera“ but it is a worthy sequel. The music was lovely and the references to „The Phantom of the Opera“ made my heart jump every time I heard them. Ben Lewis and especially Anna O‘Byrne were magnificant!

    • @bryangl1
      @bryangl1 4 года назад +6

      @@svitlana5183 This is a movie essentially OF THE STAGE PERFORMANCE. Yes, in filming that allowed the camera to get viewing angles the theatre audience couldn't see, and allowed a smoother flow in a couple of scene stages, but essentially, this is what the live audience saw. None of the 'special effects' etc were 'helped' by film editing . I dearly love Sierra and Ramin (Sierra in particular) and they were perfect for the final version of the original "Phantom of the Opera", but I think for this revised version of 'Love Never Dies' the casting is near perfect. The original London staging was poor, Webber very freely admits this, (and I'm referring to the show itself, not the performers) and needed to be heavily revised, as it was in this Australian version, which is the version staged in most countries.

      Don't worry; canonically, her death isn't real. If you notice in the POTO movie, she died in her early 60's as inscribed in her tombstone. This is only a decade after her little one night stand with the Phantom, which doesn't even place her close to her 60's. Breathe easy, the ending was just a dramatic façade.

    It's my opinion, of course, but I won't get tired of saying this: Ben Lewis IS the Phantom. I love Ramin, Michael, and everyone else that played the role, but since I heard and watch Ben, I found the Erik I had always imagine, while reading the book or listening to the album, coming to life. He has the looks, the voice (even if it has to be different, lighter, I wasn't capable of imagine it that way), but most important, he has the emotions: sadness, dispair, loneliness, madness, crave for a love he cannot reach.
    I love Ben so much, and I feel sad for the lack of recognition I think he has, and pretty disappointed too when everyone compares him to Ramin.

      @Aye Silvera I think Ben's voice is naturally dark, which suits the Phantom (and the older Phantom) perfectly, as male voices continue to get darker as they age. However, have you ever heard him sing in other musicals? His voice is a bit of chameleon; in Love Me Tender it sounds sooo much lighter-it's really different! In the original POTO, his voice is not as dark as it is in LND, yet it is still very recognizable. Considering that he did POTO 6 years after LND, it's pretty safe to say he has absolute control over what he sounds like, and his voice is dark in LND because a) the director and ALW loved it that way and b) he interpreted the phantom to have a darker voice to match his age and personality. After running a freak show for 10 years, I highly doubt he's as emotionally unstable as before (I feel like tantrums and outbursts are great for POTO, less for LND), but he's still emotionally and psychologically damaged :(

    LYRICS
    Erik (Phantom):
    Ten long years
    Living a mere facade of life
    Ten long years
    Wasting my time on smoke and noise
    In my mind
    I hear melodies pure and unearthly
    But I find
    I can't give them a voice without you
    My Christine, my Christine
    Lost and gone, lost and gone
    The day starts, the day ends
    Time crawls by
    Night steals in, pacing the floor
    The moments creep,
    Yet I can't bear to sleep
    Till I hear you sing
    And weeks pass, and months pass
    Seasons fly
    Still you don't walk through the door
    And in a haze
    I count the silent days
    Till I hear you sing once more.
    And sometimes at night time
    I dream that you are there
    But wake holding nothing but the cold night air
    And years come, and years go
    Time runs dry
    Still I ache deep in my core
    My broken soul
    Can't be alive or whole
    Till I hear you sing once more
    And music, your music
    It teases at my ear
    I turn and it fades away and you're not here
    Let hopes pass, let dreams pass
    Let them die
    Without you, what are they for?
    I'll always feel
    No more than halfway real
    Till I hear you sing once more

    I am currently hooked to this musical. I've never heard of it before the confinement and thanks to this channel I have discovered it.

      Me neither. I feel bad for him losing Christine. This song shows he clearly longs for her. That he and Christine are not completely whole without each other, hence her reactions when he sings to her. When he sings, she longs for him too.

    I don't think I can express how much I love this cast for LND and LND in general. Ben Lewis as Erik was just- amazing. From his basic way his body looks, to his voice, to his acting skills, and down to his mannerisms. It screams ghostly, confident, and yet charming and welcoming. And maybe this was just me, but I feel like Ben Lewis adds this personality to Erik. That feels like he has a very cold and scary to the outside world. But someone who cares deeply for Christen and Gustave. Ben Lewis doesn't just play the part in the moment, he becomes Erik. Just from the opening song you can feel these raw emotions. You can feel how much he is sad and lonely, and how much he just wants to hold Christen again.
    even if this doesn't make sense, Ben Lewis is an amazing Erik. And for me personally, he is 100% the Erik I have always imagined.

      His acting is a bit stiff, but it's exactly how I'd imagine the phantom acting in that said moment. And to top it off, Ben actually cries in the ending scene!

    Loved the production of Love Never Dies! I watched it twice before it was taken down this morning.

    Note to phantom: sometimes it's best to let love die.

      I mean, this is the Phantom we're talking about. Half his personality consists of obsession over something...

      This is part of Phantom personality: he is partly obsessed with Christine and with love because he is starved for love since he was born 😭😭😍😍

    I think I'm already crazy. I listen to this song like....every single night! Sometimes in morning, too. I just can't help it. The lyrics is already beautiful, passionate and honest. And Ben's interpretation to the lyrics and song is amazing. Tender but set you on fire. He successfully shows the deep painful and strong feeling of the Phantom that transforms him from the powerful and confident man to a very vulnerable man, because of his love to Christine. Pfff.... ok, come on, Desy, get back to work! I'm always distracted with this performance.
