Peter Karrie MUST have read the original novel beforehand, because I've not seen an actor grasp Erik's character quite as well as he. The nervous, jittery, almost spidery movements. The explosive mood swings and VISIBLY unstable mentality. It's perfect, absolutely perfect.
I think all the early 'Phantoms' were the Best! I'm not so talking about Voice but the actual overall performance! Mike Crawford! Dave Willetts! Colm Wilkinson! & Peter Karrie! we're all awesome! They all really got under the Skin of 'The Phantom' One of the Probs with 'Love Never Dies' which I actually still love is that the Phantom becomes 2 Nice! People do change but u still need 2 c his Mood Swings etc! He does have a Screw loose!x
It's funny tho because the original Leroux Erik is my all time favorite thing in the world, and the way Karrie does it is not how I imagine him in the book. For example, in the book, the Persian says when Erik speaks in a certain super calm, level-headed, but weary voice, you know he's really at the end of his rope and about to blow in an extreme way, either good or bad. So I imagine he'd be saying this line in that kind of voice versus the Exorcist growling and screaming of Peter Karrie here lol (which is creepy, I'll give him that). And I don't imagine Erik as twitchy or off the wall. Melodramatic and confusing to others, yes...but there's a method (and humor) to his madness. So, our imaginations/personal interpretations apparently play a big part, here, too! :)
After seeing Peter 2 nights in a row in Toronto I told him how much of a schizophrenic phantom he was. He was able to sing out of tune on purpose given the illusion that he was a mad man.
Yes! His was the first Phantom that I saw, and that growl...you could literally hear the entire theater gasp! He was amazing, got one of the best ovations I've ever heard/seen at a musical.
Agreed, I had the pleasure of seeing him on tour and he was an astonishing Phantom, one of my favorites to this day. His MOTN was particularly memorable as well, because "The Phantom" was so clearly an act - as soon as Christine fell, his entire voice changed and he became completely vulnerable and unsteady. Beautiful performance all around.
Phantoms that scared the hell out of me: - Dave Willetts - Michael Crawford (the one with D'arcy) - Jeff Hyslop - Ernst Deiter Suttheimer - Colm Wilkinson (his silence made it twice scarier lol) - Kevin Gray (the one with Pettit) - Franc D'Ambrosio - Davis Gaines - Ethan Freeman - Dale Tracy - Peter Karrie (he didn't actually look scary, it was as if he doesn't like hurting Christine but he doesn't have any choice because he really wants her...) - Paul Stanley - Scott Davies (the one with Page) - Ian Jon Bourg - Michael Nicholson (he actually LAUGHED!) - Juan Carlos Barona - Ted Keegan - Brad Little - Thomas Schulze (he whispered on her ear omg) - Peter Lockyer - Hugh Panaro (the one with Hanson) - James Romick (I love how his voice echoed) - Tim Martin Gleason (the one with Trista Moldovan) - Stephen Buntrock - Matthew Cammelle - Gary Mauer - Saulo Vasconcelos - John Cudia (the one with Wills) - Anthony Crivello - Ramin Karimloo (the one with Harris) - Peter Jorde (the one with Bokor) - David Shannon (love his "NO!") - John Owen-Jones (the one with Beck) - Greg Mills
I hate when some of the Christines rush through "I gave my mind blindly". I feel like it ruins the moment because to me that line is one of the most heartbreaking in the whole show, and truly shows the tragedy of the situation.
I love how Gary Mauer handled the scene here along with Elizabeth Southard. His reaction to that he was about to start choking her is so heartbreaking and amazing at the same time.
5:16 yeah you see Raoul writhing on the floor back there? The lasso broke and didn't go up in the air as it should've, so the Raoul just fell to the ground😂
i'm surprised that none of the phantoms cross their arms when they say "make your choice!", kind of like Lon Chaney when Christine is making the decision to turn the grasshopper or the scorpion. i honestly think it would work for that scene.
thank you so much for putting this together! its one of my favorite scenes to compare because the different performers vary it so much, and it's really cool to see the different takes on it. I really appreciate the time and work that must have gone into this. :)
Wow Michael Crawford really does the two lines 'You try my Patience make your choice'! very powerful! Also can you post a comparison of the Phantom yelling the lines ' You will curse the day you did no do all that the Phantom asked of you' from the reprise of All I ask of You from the end of act one?
Wow, you must have spent so many hours finding all these versions and putting them together. Interesting to see them all, didn't even know they had the show in some of these countries. I have to say though, I don't like the versions where the Phantom almost strikes Christine. Thanks for the clip!
Do you think a comparison of 'joys of the flesh would be worth your time? It would be intetesting to see each how differently the various Christines and phantoms play that scene.
You know, it would be nice if you actually made a comment about the video, rather than just asking for another comparison. And I might do that, but I'm almost certain someone else has already made a video of that scene. I'm about done with comparison videos, to be honest.
There's no released full show (yet, but I've seen something on trading sites), only four or so clips, but they're unlisted. You can find the link on Tumblr, under wanderingchild dot tumblr dot com; look under their POTO Links page.
There's not much to match the electrical tension and extraordinary chemistry between Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess. And all of that paired with immense vocal abilites. *sigh*

@@blackngoldcuttlefish3390 So, I have to ask, as someone who's read the book, which guy portrays your vision of Erik the best? Just curious. :)
what time was he at?
Ok. Peter Karrie scared the shit out of me.... 10:49
He goes from crying and freaking out to just point blank GROWLING at her.
I LOVE IT
He's nutty as a fruitcake and I'm HERE for it
After seeing Peter 2 nights in a row in Toronto I told him how much of a schizophrenic phantom he was. He was able to sing out of tune on purpose given the illusion that he was a mad man.
@Erikslair every time I see this I think of Davy Jones' "Do you fear Death?" He sounds just like Bill Nighy
27:07 I love the way he goes to strike her and the stops and seems horrified at him self, clutching his hand back. It’s brilliant.
Yes. He captured the book version well as did the other actors who played him as a bit mental unstable.
Brad Littles growl is something you have to experience in person to truly hear how scary it is. 20:09 .
Yes! His was the first Phantom that I saw, and that growl...you could literally hear the entire theater gasp! He was amazing, got one of the best ovations I've ever heard/seen at a musical.
@@hockeychick4198 woow he did
Agreed, I had the pleasure of seeing him on tour and he was an astonishing Phantom, one of my favorites to this day. His MOTN was particularly memorable as well, because "The Phantom" was so clearly an act - as soon as Christine fell, his entire voice changed and he became completely vulnerable and unsteady. Beautiful performance all around.
Definitely shat myself
31:21 DAMN RAMIN. I literally got scared.
gary mauer was amazing!!!! he was going to hit her then realized who it was and became calmer... just so realistic and a great performance
Brad Little's "You've tried my patience" was amazing
Phantoms that scared the hell out of me:
- Dave Willetts
- Michael Crawford (the one with D'arcy)
- Jeff Hyslop
- Ernst Deiter Suttheimer
- Colm Wilkinson (his silence made it twice scarier lol)
- Kevin Gray (the one with Pettit)
- Franc D'Ambrosio
- Davis Gaines
- Ethan Freeman
- Dale Tracy
- Peter Karrie (he didn't actually look scary, it was as if he doesn't like hurting Christine but he doesn't have any choice because he really wants her...)
- Paul Stanley
- Scott Davies (the one with Page)
- Ian Jon Bourg
- Michael Nicholson (he actually LAUGHED!)
- Juan Carlos Barona
- Ted Keegan
- Brad Little
- Thomas Schulze (he whispered on her ear omg)
- Peter Lockyer
- Hugh Panaro (the one with Hanson)
- James Romick (I love how his voice echoed)
- Tim Martin Gleason (the one with Trista Moldovan)
- Stephen Buntrock
- Matthew Cammelle
- Gary Mauer
- Saulo Vasconcelos
- John Cudia (the one with Wills)
- Anthony Crivello
- Ramin Karimloo (the one with Harris)
- Peter Jorde (the one with Bokor)
- David Shannon (love his "NO!")
- John Owen-Jones (the one with Beck)
- Greg Mills
I hate when some of the Christines rush through "I gave my mind blindly". I feel like it ruins the moment because to me that line is one of the most heartbreaking in the whole show, and truly shows the tragedy of the situation.
I totally agree with you.
I also didn't like it so much when the Phantom would turn his back on her, especially when doing it quickly.
I love how Gary Mauer handled the scene here along with Elizabeth Southard. His reaction to that he was about to start choking her is so heartbreaking and amazing at the same time.
5:16 yeah you see Raoul writhing on the floor back there? The lasso broke and didn't go up in the air as it should've, so the Raoul just fell to the ground😂
I liked it when Christine would grab hold to the chair. It seemed to give a kind of desperation to the line as she would fall to her knees.
20:08 is my favorite!
10:56 Uh . . . . Phantom? Are . . . . Are you okay . . . . ?
i'm surprised that none of the phantoms cross their arms when they say "make your choice!", kind of like Lon Chaney when Christine is making the decision to turn the grasshopper or the scorpion. i honestly think it would work for that scene.
OH MY GOD YES!! THAT WOULD
thank you so much for putting this together! its one of my favorite scenes to compare because the different performers vary it so much, and it's really cool to see the different takes on it. I really appreciate the time and work that must have gone into this. :)
Loveeeee this!!!! Just a suggestion, but i’d love to say a comparison of Bravo Monsieur, “so be it, now let it be war upon you both!”
22:05 holy crAp that's terrifying
27:07
20:09
Thank you GlassPrism. Masterful compilation! Much appreciated.
OMG! I love the first candian tour clip. wonderfully acted.
20:25 Brad little sounds like the dark side
Colm was top notch in this scene. It showed he was holding back a lot of anger
Wow Michael Crawford really does the two lines 'You try my Patience make your choice'! very powerful! Also can you post a comparison of the Phantom yelling the lines ' You will curse the day you did no do all that the Phantom asked of you' from the reprise of All I ask of You from the end of act one?
This is brilliant. What work this took. Thank you so much
34:56
Dave Willetts, successor to Michael in London. The 'nuttiest' of all Phantoms. I absolutely shat myself. What a guy!
Wow, you must have spent so many hours finding all these versions and putting them together.
Interesting to see them all, didn't even know they had the show in some of these countries.
I have to say though, I don't like the versions where the Phantom almost strikes Christine.
Thanks for the clip!
Wonderful video, there's some really terrifying phantoms!
I agree! RIP Kevin!...
Do you think a comparison of 'joys of the flesh would be worth your time? It would be intetesting to see each how differently the various Christines and phantoms play that scene.
i love this part
You know, it would be nice if you actually made a comment about the video, rather than just asking for another comparison.
And I might do that, but I'm almost certain someone else has already made a video of that scene. I'm about done with comparison videos, to be honest.
where can I watch the full uk tour 2012 show online?
There's no released full show (yet, but I've seen something on trading sites), only four or so clips, but they're unlisted. You can find the link on Tumblr, under wanderingchild dot tumblr dot com; look under their POTO Links page.
Great video😊. Could you please post more of peter lockyer? I couldn't find a Lot of Videos with him as phantom. That would be great ❤️
John Owen Jones forever with anyone
Jeff Hyslop at 1:56 is my fav
Thomas James O'leary is my teacher (:
I like how Ethan Freeman actually cracked after Christine delivered her line, that would be pretty hard to hear.
Can you do a comparison of christine unmasking the phantom in point of no return please?
were did you find colm wilkinson's final liar? I can't find it anywere
I have a highlights video of him that includes it.
okay, is it there a way I could see the entire final with him?
how on this earth did you find all these !!!
Ramin is the best
RAMIN AND SIERRA
22:40
Eh, not really? They lilt part of it with the tune, but the rest of it is speaking. It's probably just something unique to the production.
Sure, I can do that.
Gerard bulter and Emmy rossum if u have them
27:05 10:49 20:24 :pp
Oh god, Ian Jon bourgeois was amazing!
Lmao, I meant bourg 😂
There's not much to match the electrical tension and extraordinary chemistry between Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess. And all of that paired with immense vocal abilites. *sigh*
Fredrik Winberg I disagree. Ramin was way too menacing with it. There’s a line to walk
side p.s. carlotetta or raoul dislike possble
Ramin and Sierra all the way
