Sierra does such a wonderful job of portraying Christine’s nervousness in her voice when she first sings! The switch to the strong,confident voice near the middle of the song is absolutely breathtaking!
@@lyntanner8333 I agree!👍 It really shows Christine's transformation into a confident performer,and all of the women who have portrayed Christine so far have done an excellent job!❤
Sierra is just exceptional in this role. But can we also talk about Hadley? As Raoul, he looks so adorable here! So happy to have seen his childhood friend after so many years. His expression is just so cute, especially when the managers scolded him for clapping in the middle of the performance. PotO 25 is just perfection.
I LOVE LOVE Hadley in this role, and he much too often gets flack for his performance and it hurts my heart because he’s just so magnificent! We need more Hadley/raoul support around here! 🥰
@Tatum Meadors I agree! I think he’s the best Raoul! However, what sucks even more is that when talking about the show and remarking on the great performances, Andrew Lloyd Webber choked when he got to Hadley Fraser and forgot his name completely! You have 3 main performers in this show, how do you not know one of their names??? 🤷♀️💛 (Especially when he did such an amazing job!👏)
The concept of acting is that you feel like the character you play. It's about imagining yourself in it and acting according to your feelings! The way Sierra gets into character is really interesting, something very interesting and insane to see!!!
I love how there are layers of meaning in this song: It is first the song from the opera about the fall of Carthago - the soon-to-be fallen queen singing. For Raul it's a song from his childhood friend - asking him to remeber her. And it's also the Phantom's song for Christine - asking her to think of him fondly when she's far away and free. The only one this song doesn't speak for is Christine herself, hence the remark from Meg: "The words aren't yours"
Fascinating analysis. Your point about the words not being Christine's also alludes to her lack of agency at this point - so many decisions are made for her by Erik, Raoul, the Managers, Madame Giry and Carlotta even. It isn't until later in the musical that she truly makes her own choices, and isn't overawed by the Phantom.
@@lordyeetus8843 Correct me if I’m wrong but I do believe Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again is the only song that doesn’t call back to a previous song or allude to a future. It’s also the only song where Christine doesn’t have a duet or lyrics written for her (not sure if that’s an appropriate way to describe it but I hope you understand what I’m trying to say)
@@alexgray727 Oof, that hits me - the only time she has a sort of musical form of agency is when she's at one of her lowest points in the musical, emotionally distressed from everything happening with the Phantom and Raoul, and still grieving over her father.
Weirdly the character Christine’s playing is supposed to be Dido/Elissa, the mythological first queen of Carthage, who loved and was abandoned by Aeneas and lived centuries before Hannibal did. Is she supposed to be singing about Aeneas here? If so she’s taking it a lot better than she did in the Aeneid.
Headcanon (only because it's not explicitly stated): Madame Giry secretly helped Christine rehearse this because she hates Carlotta, and when Christine tries to run away she's like 'don't act like you're bad, we both know that's bullshit, now sing the damn song'
My daughter is auditioning for the part of Christine for Broadway this week. Cant tell you what its like to hear her sing that song live in my house. Hope she gets a shot. She's amazing. (thanks for letting me brag a bit).
@@nexiondxt1230 No I was saying like it’s pretty cool that your friends who are named Christina and Eric are in theater I also like the arts. I’m even taking a music class in college right now
I like when madame giry hits the floor with her caine, it perfectly shows her character, she is passionate for the performing arts, she is tough and strict but for good reasons, she is only like that because she wants Christine to succeed in this business since she knows how hard that is
I now realise why Sierra is my favourite Christine. She has this special, sweet quality to her voice that captures Christine’s innocence, youth, vulnerability and inexperience, while still being powerful and impactful. A lot of talented stars have played Christine, with most singing the score as a legit, seasoned soprano. Which is still beautiful, but it doesn’t fit the character as well.
This and also Sierra's portrayal has better acting that most. A lot of Christine's are pretty one-note for me. Just constantly sorta wide-eyed and empty headed. I feel like Sierra gives her more depth.
I totally agree - I think Sierra being a coloratura soprano helps in this role a lot. They tend to be very agile singers and can do those difficult runs and high notes and all the crazy singing stunts while still sounding light and "younger". Which I agree, fits the character of Christine perfectly. And Sierra is just absolutely the best Christine ever, in my opinion.
Sierra Boggess is, without a shadow of a doubt, my favorite Christine - her portrayal is perfect and her voice is absolutely gorgeous! it’s so clear to see how passionate she is about this role! :D
@@brianaustin5467 they released the full show for 48hours back in the first lockdown in march-april somewhere as the first lockdown show. So they are just reprising the songs for anyone who did not watch it back then
@Anjelica Snorcket It looks like there are a number of people here who think that they have pulled off a major strategic coup. When the final clip is posted, to what lost cause will they then turn their attention.
The special effects of this show were an absolute spectacle. Broadcasting a live video the audience behind Christine to act as the “audience” of her performance was incredibly genius and added a new level to the show.
I first heard about this channel from my mom’s friend. My mom doesn’t watch musicals or anything theater related, except movies, and her friend sent her like a trailer of the CATS show from this RUclips channel and then my mom showed it to me and then I watched the musical
Can we all appreciate how Raoul said "Brava" correctly? (In Opera,you say "Bravo" for a male performer and "Brava" for a female performer.) Bravo, Hadley and brava Sierra! 👏👏👏
Well since it takes place in France, they say Madame/Monsieur and Raoul is a french name it would only be correct to say Bravo and nothing else since brava doesn’t exist in french but only bravo does
CHRISTINE: Think of me, think of me fondly When we've said goodbye Remember me every so often Promise me you'll try On that day That not so distant day When you are far away and free If you ever find a moment Spare a thought for me FIRMIN: Madame! Monsieur! CHRISTINE: And though it's clear Though it was always clear That this was never meant to be If you happen to remember Stop and think of me Think of August When the world was green Don't think about the way Things might have been Think of me, think of me waking Silent and resigned Imagine me trying too hard To put you from my mind Think of me Please say you'll think of me Whatever else you choose to do There will never be a day When I won't think of you RAOUL: Can it be? Can it be Christine? Brava! Brava! Long ago It seems so long ago How young and innocent we were She may not remember me But I remember her CHRISTINE: Flowers fade The fruits of summer fade They have their seasons, so do we But please promise me that sometimes you will think Of me
Everyone is so focused on her beautiful voice, and rightfully so. But, can we talk about her overall performance? Because she commanded the HELL outta that stage and worked her costuming!!!
Dude, Sierra Boggess has one of the most incredible voices I've ever heard, and she somehow makes performing in this unbelievably difficult role look completely effortless. Not to mention, she acts the character perfectly.
Anyone else cry when the realized this is a perfect explanation of the relationship between Christine and the Phantom by the end of the show? Also I love when she starts dancing around while Raoul sings, it’s so cute.
Even the way they thought of how to make Christine look like she preformed to the back of the stage at the end just shows how talented everyone is including crew. This is so amazing
This is blatant Michael Crawford and Rebecca Caine erasure and I won't stand for it!! ;) (Sierra and Ramin are definitely the best of the modern era though, no contest.)
Sierra portrays Christine so well; we can see the emotions of Christine change from anxiousness to confidence during the performance. She's such a talented performer
Sierra is absolutely amazing, probably the best Christine. The balance between singing and acting is perfect! The role of Christine is so demanding and difficult, so it’s truly impressive :)
I may not listen to opera all that often. But when something sounds as beautiful as this, I will gladly listen. And if the rest of Phantom of the Opera is as good as this part. Then, I have been missing out on some top-notch music.
Sierra has this charming innocence about her that makes her Christine so endearing. ♡ Every time I watch her in Phantom (or LND), it always seems as though she had been born to play the role. She does not act for the sake of living up to what people wanted to see, but to breathe life into the character itself. She becomes one with it as she adds her own personal twist without straying away from its core. When she is onstage, she is a completely different person. Add the fact that her brilliant portrayal is exactly how I picture Christine in the novel, regardless of however she was described there. Also, Sierra has one of the most incredible soprano voices I have ever heard-truly effortless and emotive. It is amazing how when she sings, she does not only tell the tale that surrounds the song, but she lets you experience it as well. Sierra is the definitive Christine in MY book.
One of my favourite details about the show is that the first time we see Raoul, he is an old man reminiscing about the past and buying all these objects like the Hannibal poster and the monkey, and then the first time we see him in "the past", his first lines are "long ago, it seems so long ago.....but I remember her."
Guys, we’ve been begging and prodding this channel to post more Phantom clips, and they keep doing it! I think it’s time we all just take a moment to say THANK YOU!
I love Sarah Brightman deeply. She is a true icon and original and her Christine is the archetype. That said; Sierra brings everything I'd ever imagined about a perfect Christine to life! She is beautiful, talented, self conscious but naturally confident using her perfect instrument. I do believe Sierra is the best Christine there is or was. Truly a one of a kind Angel of Music!
I been practicing this song so many times, my parents bought a karaoke machine not too long ago and I showed them this song and I sing it. They were very impressed! I actually want to go to college someday and try out for theater. I am also hoping that I can sing this song at summer camp in a couple weeks.
That was incredible. In front of so many audience, all in one take, with none of the "best of the cuts" (not just the voice, but everything else, including the facial expression). All the while still actually acting.
It is almost impossible to find the language to express, as a reminder, that Sir Lloyd Webber's "Phantom..." will (if it hasn't already) be defined as one of the great operatic achievements in the 20th Century...and since the dawn of the 19th Century of true romantic opera. Many, many years ago when the musical first debuted I was always: "Oh, just Sir L-W, taking advantage of what was... and copying it." Have realized over some decades that what he had done is to give honor and recognition to that history and I am more than happy to say this. There is never a moment in much of the score of "Phantom..." that one's heart is not torn apart.
The Shows DO Go On thanks to you and the perfect crispness of this performance. So many people would have missed an incandescent angel blessing heaven with her talent then SLAPPING the stage, a legend.
I've seen a rendition of this with my mom and my best friend (her first musical ever!) I literally saw her eyes light up when this song came on and thats how I got her to love musicals
Omg yess, I’m obsessed with phantom & this is such a beautiful song. Funny how I just listened to this song and then I got the notification for this😂❤️
Whoever doesn't marvel at Sierra's voice isn't a human with a sense of what the human voice can achieve in decibels and make it into music! Brava is so right!!!
3:16 ......Did I just enter into the most epic, live action version of a "Disney Princess" that I've ever seen?!? I'm sorry...I meant ten million times better than any Disney Princess....WOW. WOW. WOW.....wow.
have always LOVED the phantom.. but wow, what a venue.. I live in Canada n never have been to something as elegant as what I just saw.. am envious.. Here in Toronto we have the Prince of Wales n The Royal Alexander theatres which are also stunning but no comparison to what I just saw.. I want to go there!! Covid go away!!! love from Canada, stay safe.. thankyou.. for this..
QUEEN SIERRA THINGZ!! AAAAAAH i just love how she portrays the nervousness and innocence of christine as she sings for the first time. thank you for this clip!! 😔❤
I've heard Sierra sing live when she performed her concert. Her voice sounds even stronger live. I hope Sierra gets the chance to be in a Hollywood movie musical one day. It would also be great if Ramin Karimloo starred opposite her.
I began to remember the city where I was born, It brings memories and tears to my eyes. It’s been too long, gotta visit it again(just to get all emotional)
Es increíble como se aprovecha la tecnología para jamás dar la espalda al público. Eso es maravilloso porque este musical te hace sentir que estás entre el público de la ópera. Una joya ♡
I love Sierra Boggess. It was flawless going from one note to the next I am so glad she was chosen for the 25th anniversary. My only complaint was the chandelier not crashing .
I can imagine the Phantom seething under his breath because someone took his box so he can't watch his student perform, but he is also proud of her because he can hear her voice.
Think of me, think of me fondly When we've said goodbye Remember me, once in a while Please promise me you'll try When you find that once again you long To take your heart back and be free If you ever find a moment Spare a thought for me We never said our love was evergreen Or as unchanging as the sea But if you can still remember Stop and think of me Think of all the things We've shared and seen Don't think about the way Things might have been Think of me, think of me waking Silent and resigned Imagine me trying too hard To put you from my mind Recall those days Look back on all those times Think of the things we'll never do There will never be a day When I won't think of you Can it be, can it be Christine? Bravo! Long ago, it seems so long ago How young and innocent we were She may not remember me But I remember her Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade They have their season so do we But please promise me that sometimes You will think of me
Yay! So excited! Thanks for posting this! I do this number at home with nobody around and my favorite scarf so it’s nice to have this to sing with now!

Am i the only one who thinks that in this scene he kinda looks like a young quantin tarantino?

Can we all appreciate how Raoul said "Brava" correctly?
(In Opera,you say "Bravo" for a male performer and "Brava" for a female performer.)
Bravo, Hadley and brava Sierra! 👏👏👏
Brassiamiiiiii
Fr
Well since it takes place in France, they say Madame/Monsieur and Raoul is a french name it would only be correct to say Bravo and nothing else since brava doesn’t exist in french but only bravo does
Italian makes that male/female distinction. It also uses "Bravo" for a mix of people, or when the gender isn't known.
I thought Brava was just the Italian translation.
CHRISTINE:
Think of me, think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me every so often
Promise me you'll try
On that day
That not so distant day
When you are far away and free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me
FIRMIN:
Madame! Monsieur!
CHRISTINE:
And though it's clear
Though it was always clear
That this was never meant to be
If you happen to remember
Stop and think of me
Think of August
When the world was green
Don't think about the way
Things might have been
Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard
To put you from my mind
Think of me
Please say you'll think of me
Whatever else you choose to do
There will never be a day
When I won't think of you
RAOUL:
Can it be?
Can it be Christine?
Brava! Brava!
Long ago
It seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me
But I remember her
CHRISTINE:
Flowers fade
The fruits of summer fade
They have their seasons, so do we
But please promise me that sometimes
you will think
Of me

My most very best favorite Show of all time!!! Never gets old and I never tired of listening and watching this show!!! Thank You so very much!!!
It is almost impossible to find the language to express, as a reminder, that Sir Lloyd Webber's "Phantom..." will (if it hasn't already) be defined as one of the great operatic achievements in the 20th Century...and since the dawn of the 19th Century of true romantic opera. Many, many years ago when the musical first debuted I was always: "Oh, just Sir L-W, taking advantage of what was... and copying it." Have realized over some decades that what he had done is to give honor and recognition to that history and I am more than happy to say this. There is never a moment in much of the score of "Phantom..." that one's heart is not torn apart.
I've been to 5 shows of Phantom but no singer has ever come close to Sierra, she is incredible.
Sierra and Hadley are amazing, but can we say how everything else is as amazing? Like, OMG the music, the scenario, and the costumes!
I love so much her voice! I never heard a more beautiful opera singer voice in my life.
"Think of August when the world was green don't think about the way things might have been "😍
The Shows DO Go On thanks to you and the perfect crispness of this performance. So many people would have missed an incandescent angel blessing heaven with her talent then SLAPPING the stage, a legend.
I just saw phantom live for the first time, my god it was amazing. Christie omg
aHHHHHH IM LITERALLY SCREAMING WHEN THIS IS UPLOADED 😭😭😭 SIERRA IS AMAZING🔥🔥🔥
Her coloratura style runs at the end are unreal - she makes them sound so smooth and deceptively easy 👏👏👏👏👏
I love Sierra! I wish we had more of her
I've seen a rendition of this with my mom and my best friend (her first musical ever!) I literally saw her eyes light up when this song came on and thats how I got her to love musicals
Amazing words do not do justice to Sierra's amazing voice , truly a great piece has become greater by her
It's still a mystery to me how did she never win a Tony, not even get a nomination
Omg yess, I’m obsessed with phantom & this is such a beautiful song. Funny how I just listened to this song and then I got the notification for this😂❤️
Sierra’s voice is so angelical! Ugh i love this showww
Sierra is so incredibly talented!!! And beautiful!
0:48
As someone who did a little bit of theater
That was a damm smooth scene change
Whoever doesn't marvel at Sierra's voice isn't a human with a sense of what the human voice can achieve in decibels and make it into music! Brava is so right!!!
3:16 ......Did I just enter into the most epic, live action version of a "Disney Princess" that I've ever seen?!? I'm sorry...I meant ten million times better than any Disney Princess....WOW. WOW. WOW.....wow.
You will never understand how much I love this musical
You can see her passion in her eyes. It makes it so genuine and beautiful
have always LOVED the phantom.. but wow, what a venue.. I live in Canada n never have been to something as elegant as what I just saw.. am envious.. Here in Toronto we have the Prince of Wales n The Royal Alexander theatres which are also stunning but no comparison to what I just saw.. I want to go there!! Covid go away!!! love from Canada, stay safe.. thankyou.. for this..
The best version, that high note is epitome of crystal clear ❤
I went on a field trip where we met her. I cried, she is my idol.
I used to listen to Phantom maybe 25 years ago. Never heard of her until 5 minutes ago, when watching another Phantom video. She's incredible.
QUEEN SIERRA THINGZ!! AAAAAAH i just love how she portrays the nervousness and innocence of christine as she sings for the first time. thank you for this clip!! 😔❤
A million thanks! Loved the Phantom of the Opera ever since, Lord Weber, great thanks too - the essence is everlasting!
I've heard Sierra sing live when she performed her concert. Her voice sounds even stronger live. I hope Sierra gets the chance to be in a Hollywood movie musical one day. It would also be great if Ramin Karimloo starred opposite her.
1:58 - 2:02 her "put you from my mind" is the most gorgeous thing ever.
I began to remember the city where I was born, It brings memories and tears to my eyes. It’s been too long, gotta visit it again(just to get all emotional)
Who still watches this magical video? Cause I do and always will watch this! Sierra has a really dreamy voice 😭💖
YES
Meeeee
Sierra nails this. Wonderful performance
Sierra Boggess ahhhhhhhh I love her so much and her Think Of Me is impeccable 😍😍❤️✨💕
Es increíble como se aprovecha la tecnología para jamás dar la espalda al público. Eso es maravilloso porque este musical te hace sentir que estás entre el público de la ópera. Una joya ♡
I love Sierra Boggess. It was flawless going from one note to the next I am so glad she was chosen for the 25th anniversary. My only complaint was the chandelier not crashing .
I can imagine the Phantom seething under his breath because someone took his box so he can't watch his student perform, but he is also proud of her because he can hear her voice.
The BEST Christine Ever!! Phenomenal and effortless singing and acting in a class of her own 👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Think of me, think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me, once in a while
Please promise me you'll try
When you find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me
We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me
Think of all the things
We've shared and seen
Don't think about the way
Things might have been
Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard
To put you from my mind
Recall those days
Look back on all those times
Think of the things we'll never do
There will never be a day
When I won't think of you
Can it be, can it be Christine?
Bravo!
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me
But I remember her
Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade
They have their season so do we
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think of me
These stage were fabulous
It amazes me that someone can sing like that and not look Exhausted after
Just LOVE this.... she is my favorite Christine.....❤️
Christine Daae, that was unbelievable!
In my opinion the best Christine ever! X
She SLAYS me every time. The best.
Sierra Boggess is the BEST Christine Daaé ever!
I agree!
Yay! So excited! Thanks for posting this! I do this number at home with nobody around and my favorite scarf so it’s nice to have this to sing with now!
Sierras just absolutely breathtaking. She takes our air and uses it for her voice, what a woman.
YES ANOTHER ONE WE'RE SO CLOSE TO GETTING THE FULL SHOW FOR FREE
This is my favorite version of phantom of the opera, I saw this movie as a kid and it has had a special place in my heart ever since
