Ramin and Sierra have ruined all other Phantoms and Christines for me whether it's Phantom of the Opera or Love Never Dies I just can't watch anyone else play these two anymore they're the gold standard
Absolutely the same as you😭😭😭Just these two can give me the feeling that Christine and Phantom are right there, and perhaps this is just so-called chemistry❤️
I know a lot of people think they seem awkward, but as someone who's read the book the blocking and choreography makes a lot of sense. Erik was obsessed and *needed* her, but he worshipped and respected her. So yes, he comes in unannounced but he goes around the furniture to give her space. And then when he says, "and I kissed you" he rushes to grab her, but he stops himself. Why? Respect. He won't touch her until she touches him. It really puts you into the world of the book, which I think is really cool. Outside of all that, it does a wonderful job of portraying just how much tension there is and that's really hard to do well. I think whoever directed this did an amazing job and paid immense attention to detail. And it paid off.
nicole mars I appreciate the kindness in your reply, usually I just see people jumping at each other over just a difference in opinion. And I will say, something that does make me somewhat agree with you and is probably my biggest problem with the whole musical is when Erik threatens Christine with her son (and it’s even worse in the Australian version because they insinuate threatening his life rather than just threatening to take him). I genuinely don’t think he would have done that. Because the whole point of the end of PotO was that he grew up and learned that people weren’t toys that he could do whatever he wanted with, that’s not love. And threatening her that way completely undermines that theme of growth. But I enjoy the rest of their interactions I think.
@@Annesglitter Eric: "well I'm not the subtilest of people, I do love a dramatic entrance, you would have been able to see me coming from a mile of if you had BEEN PAYING ATTENTION!!!!!"
am i the only one who appreciates how their movements are so restrained? They are restraining themselves because they are feeling too much and I think it's beautiful.
@@hbdragon88 To be fair, I'd expect Christine to have a dramatic reaction like that after learning her Angel of Music, the man she thought dead for the past decade, comes waltzing back into her life out of thin air like it's no big deal. Plus, I think it's a neat representation of how, almost immediately after Erik returns, Christine (quite literally) falls back into her old habits around him. But I've also loved that one version of the London show where Christine's first instinct is to hug him, a reaction reading in that instance as "Oh my God, Angel you're alive!" (joyously relieved) before she pulls back suddenly as Erik catches her wrist like "Oh dear God, Angel you're alive?!" (shocked and hurt), while also just being plain sweet to watch. I appreciate the OP's read of them being restrained in this version due to their overwhelming emotions, but in that initial moment when Erik arrives during the instrumental, I feel Christine should have a more visceral reaction to his return than just staring and backing away. Everything else after that was great, though.
I like both versions. Ramin and Sierra’s is full of, as you said, restraint, holding your breath so to speak, slowly letting their walls shatter, and the willpower to try and not give in to her emotions immediately… controlled passion. Ben and Anna‘s is full of anger, angst, hurt; getting everything off their chests all at once… explosive passion. That’s why I like both versions. I get to see two possible responses to a really weird situation, and I think both are done beautifully.
Beneath A Moonless Sky from LND and Point of No Return from TPOTO are the most daring songs about sex I've ever heard. Ramin and Sierra just soak up the stage with their incredible talent and sexual chemistry!
I find hilarious reading the comments from adults “of this song is too sexy how can children listen to this” 1. poto and lnd are not kid musicals 2. First musical I ever did was spring awakening so poto isn’t a big deal nor is lnd. Yes these people are great as these roles tho
So much shame and pain, the way he dips his head and his posture slumps and he refuses to be close to her. There's something so insanely powerful about their chemistry, about how respectful and gentle he is. He learned a lot in those 10 years, he's matured. But he's still lonely and self-loathing, so much he sabotaged his own happiness and broke both their hearts and somehow Ramin just conveys it brilliantly.
I just love this version with Sierra and Ramin!!! They add chemistry, sensuality and genuine emotion that others don’t. Ben and Anna may have more operaish voices because they were both opera trained but Rierra brought great voices and great performance, the entire package. Ben and Anna just looked fake and wooden together with no true chemistry. The subtle touches Ramin adds is BREATHTAKING and his gentleness at moments just BEAUTIFUL to watch!!!!!
@Tyler Buckley Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman never did Love Never Dies, though. I think the comment was about this show specifically. (Also, I far prefer Ramin/Sierra's POTO to Michael/Sarah, but that's a different point.)
Just came back here after watching the Australian's production of Love Never Dies. I mean Ramin and Sierra as Phantom and Christine is irreplaceable!! Their acting is incredibly outstanding! I just wish I could see the original version of LND
exactly!! i almost laughed out loud watching anna's christine "fainting" at the sight of phantom. also that death scene was unwatchable .. RIERRA's acting makes the music even more beautiful!
I can watch this scene over and over. The anger, regret and (yes) restrained passion is palpable; the chemistry between the two is off the charts. The blocking reminded me of two cats...the careful steps, the cautious forays into each other's "territory" (even a bit of hissing...:) ) Magnificent!
wow, their chemistry is simply irreplaceable. I just watched the whole show of Love Never Dies from The Show Must Go On channel and I wasn't as convinced of their longing for each other unlike how Sierra and Ramin did it here. I must admit I've always shipped Christine and Phantom when I first watched the live performance many many years ago, and was astounded when I found out they didn't end up together when I watched the show again from last week.
So, after seeing the officially recorded version, I do agree that these two have scads more chemistry together (to make the sexual attraction more believable for this song) and they both put a lot more emotion into their performance, versus being technically better sung. And after seeing them together in the 25th anniversary performance (the ending especially), this storyline is much more plausible. Not that the timeline matches up AT ALL (the writer in me cringes) but still more believable.
Why Love Never Dies works for me: the revelation that Erik (the Phantom) and Christine have a son adds emotional weight to the final scene of the 2004 Gerard Butler POTO movie. Raoul sees the rose & engagement ring that Erik left on Christine's grave and accepts it; if you match it with LND, then Raoul is acknowledging the peace and shared love they have for Christine. That way, it's a beautiful full-circle love triangle arc.
@@iluvlafferty even if I love Sierra and Ramin I adore the recorded version of LND especially this song, till I hear you sing and devil take the hindmost I mean that last one doesn't even compared to any other version I've seen
@@iluvlafferty I agree with you. LND ACTUALLY WORKS or at least potentially can!! 👍👍 I HAVE THE PERFECT SCREENPLAY IN MY MIND OF HOW THIS STORY SHOULD GO TO ME 🤗🤗😎😎: 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥 1. Gaston Leroux book's flashbacks when Madame Giry talks to Raoul of Phantom's life in order to understand Erik past and traumas and personality so that the audience can feel empathy and compassion for his miserable and sad life 2. Phantom of the Opera 25th Anniversary version (with Christine looking back to Erik with love eyes and singing to him the first lines in All I ask of you in the ending that fix and makes the sequel understandable and believable because in this version their love/unique bond they share is mutual and not one-sided) with only making the choreography in Point of no Return less aggressive in the end and more seductive as it should be and as it was in the 1986 production [with Phantom first redemption at the end finally understanding how to express real true love] 3. Love Never Dies with a few changes in the plot holes (like more explanations of characters arcs and personalities changing - Raoul and Meg - during 10 years and more explanations on how/when Christine and Phantom one night stand went and the deep reasons behind Christine decision to come back to find Phantom after having left him in the end of POTO to follow Raoul who was at the time an healthier choice for her) and with set/costumes of AUS Version but with the original London cast (my dream is one day this version will be record by ALW). [at the end Phantom gaining his final peace and redemption at his son's side due to his son's love] 4. POTO movie ending with the rose and ring on Christine's graveyard (with changing dates in order to fit time-line) and old Raoul visiting the auction at the restructured Opera Garnier (beginning of POTO musical) and Christine's grave in a kind of travel to remember the past times he is finally acknowledging the fact that no matter how things went or who was her true love and soul mate or who she choose at the end: after having considered Phantom an enemy his entire life on his last days he peacefully recognize that they both loved her deeply and each one showed it to her in the way they could/were able to THIS IS THE PERFECT FULL-CIRCLE LOVE STORY OF SOULMATES ERIK AND CHRISTINE 😍😍 AND PERFECT FULL-CIRCLE LOVE TRIANGLE 🤧🤧 THESE 4 ELEMENTS COMBINED ARE THE PERFECT GOTHIC, PASSIONATE AND HEART-WRETCHING LOVE STORY EVER 😍😍😍😭😭😭 IT WOULD BE A MASTERPIECE 🤧
I like the official one but I have to agree that there really is no comparison to these two's chemistry. I also feel like the official recording is almost too over-the-top and drowns it out making it not feel as authentic or just too dramatic for my liking.
Ramin's haunted depiction of the Phantom is (for me) what makes his version my favorite. Throughout, you can see how tormented he is by his decision, even many years later.
Thank you! Omg I was looking for a comment explaining why is there people mentioning there's a kid, and that this is 10 years later, I didn't know there was a sequel?? Wooooooow
Can we just talk about how in this version, it feels like they actually KNOW each other? Like there has been a long history between them? The one with Anna and Ben was good and all, but all the changes in blocking made me feel like they’ve only known each other for a few years at best. They were sort of all over each other the whole time, not to mention the lyrics of Christine’s first verse were significantly altered. Sierra’s lyrics are, of course, “I should have guessed that it was you…” and Anna’s were “So it was all an empty lie…”. In this one, like others have already pointed out, their movements are restrained, not because they are awkward, but because they are feeling too much. I adore Sierra and Ramin together ❤️. No matter how many Phantoms that Sierra has been with, or how many Christines that Ramin has been with, Ramin is Sierra’s, and Sierra is Ramin’s.
The fact that she flinches at one point when he walks towards her, the fact that they're apparently scared to touch each other, the fact that he seems to understand how intense it must be for her to see him again. I agree completely, these two have a lot of unfinished business gone unsaid and it shows. The Australian one doesn't feel like a pair of people with a complicated and traumatic history the way this one does, it feels like two exes that split on bad terms accidentally going to the same party.
@@blueturtle3623 I always find it interesting to watch how two actors play the same scene so differently…Anne definitely leans more onto Christine’s anger here, which is a valid way to play it as the Man left her after taking her virginity and ultimately knocking her up. The Phantom, even though we know his actions and intentions never were to hurt Christine, still ended up putting her in a very dire situation where if she hadn’t had Raoul available to marry her and the ability to pass her son off as his child…who knows what would have happened to her and Gustave? I look at poor Fantine in Les Miserable and can’t help but wonder if that might have been Christine’s fate. So yes her anger is warranted BUT I LOVE that Sierra plays it more heartbroken, Sierra shows us her pain more then anything, her Christine seems so broken, from losing her Angel, to Raoul’s coldness towards her and his drinking, and having to raise her son alone. She is trying so hard to keep it together but the fire has left her eyes and all her interactions here with Ramin’s Phantom just scream ‘I gave you EVERYTHING, how could you leave me! Don’t you realize I love you!’ 😢
Please don't ever delete this. It is so so good. I think they are THE best Phantom & Christine. Do you by any chance know if the full performance is available to buy anywhere? I've only found the audio recording...
Don't worry I won't, unless it gets deleted! I'm sorry but it isn't available anywhere. This recording of the performance is pretty rare these days. You can only buy the Love Never Dies DVD/Blu-ray with the Australian cast.
@@operaghost7381 Well, in that case.... I am so happy to have been able to hear this. I really wasn't a fan of the Phantom until I heard Ramin sing it. He just conveys so much emotion when he sings. He also brought something to the character that many Phantoms lack... class. Sierra also is extremely talented. I love the way she expresses emotion on her face when she sings. They are a remarkable pair. If this gets deleted I might pay you for these videos... for real. :) Thank you again.
@@CharityShalom I have seen 7 different Phantoms live and they are varying degrees of good to excellent but Ramin is a different level entirely. And Sierra is his match as Christine. I have the original CD release with Ramin and Sierra and it is spectacular - wish I could get this video too
Richard Crossman lmao top tier. Idek why tf the Australian cast was what became on DVD...what madness Edit: omg i sound so mean lmao, i realized this was the 25th anniv recording tho so it was technically years or something like that after ramin and sierra had their season which around that time the aussie cast fared to be more polished i think?
@@alexb4522 We had booked tickets to LND in London for our trip in mid-September which ended just 3 days before the 25th anniversary Albert Hall production (but those tickets were out of our budget). We were informed in mid-August that LND was closing and we would not be able to see it so we chose to see The Phantom instead with John Owens-Jones - the best LIVE Phantom I have ever heard, although Ramin on CD and video is a better one.
For context, I've never seen anything to do with Love Never Dies. But I figured "I've heard this song is good, and I love Sierra Boggess, I'll watch this" and when the doors dramatically opened to reveal Erik just standing there menacingly I WHEEZED
Listen...... as an avid lover of POTO (and someone who is also named Christine) I hate this sequel so much, but.... man if these two had reprised these roles in the Australian recording that was released, I might have fallen for this. I might have acually liked it. I absolutely adore this Phantom/Christine combo. Ramin and Sierra always bring their all, no matter what script they're reading for these characters. This was a great performance to watch! ❤
I really hope they release another filmed version of Love Never Dies this or next year! Especially since it’s been 10 years since the 25th anniversary with Ramin and Sierra. Their respective ages would be perfect since LND is supposed to be 10 years after POTO, and having a filmed version of the same cast would just be perfect!
BlackPearl Moon Apologies for the late reply! Perhaps, but I think in the book the Phantom is at least in his 40s, if not 50s) (Ramin is in his early 40s) and Christine and Raoul are in their 20s, add on the 10 year time jump from POTO to LND, their ages would be, in a word, ideal 😂
Beneath A Moonless Sky Andrew Lloyd Webber, Simon Lee I should have guessed that it was you I should have known it all along I chanced you in this dark I should have heard you and that song How dare you try and claim me now? How dare you come invade my life? If you had known the pain I've known Then you would know I had no choice Oh, Christine, my Christine In that time when the world thought me dead My Christine, on that night just before you were wed Ah, Christine, you came and found where I hid Don't you deny that you did That long ago night That night Once there was a night beneath a moonless sky Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try I stole to your side to tell you I must go I couldn't see your face but sensed you even so And I touched you And I felt you And I heard those ravishing refrains The music of the pulse The singing in your veins And I held you And I touched you And embraced you And I felt you And with every breath and every sigh I felt no longer scared I felt no longer shy At last our feelings bared Beneath a moonless sky And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress A woman and a man, no more and yet no less And I kissed you And caressed you And the world around us fell away We said things in the dark We never dared to say And I caught you And I kissed you And I took you And I begged you With a need too urgent to deny And nothing mattered then Except for you and I Again and then again Beneath a moonless sky And when it was done before the sun could rise Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky And I loved you Yes, I loved you I'd have followed anywhere you led I woke to swear my love And found you gone instead And I loved you (How I loved you) And I left you (And I loved you) And I had to, both of us knew why We both knew why And yet I won't regret From now until I die The night I can't forget Beneath a moonless sky And now How can you talk of now? For us, there is no now
I'm here because I love their performance on Phantom of the opera 25th anniversary show which is available on RUclips until the end of the day. I shipped her with Raoul but damn, she has chemistry with Phantom especially on the final act
Lyrics I should have known that you'd be here I should have known it all along This whole arrangement bears your stamp You're in each measure of that song How dare you try and claim me now?

For anyone who watched the first play (The Phantom of the Opera) a couple of days ago here on RUclips, know that starting Friday April 24 at 7pm BST (2pm EDT, 5am AEDT) the whole "Love Never Dies" show will be available to watch for free here on RUclips, possibly for the whole weekend.
I saw Sierra and Ramin in LND in London in 2010 (wow 10 years ago). A year later the DVD came out and I was disappointed as it was nothing like the show in story or quality of performance/ singing. These two are Christine and the phantom. Subscribed as brilliant videos taking me back to one of my favourite West end experiences 👍
came here after watching the australian prod and i have to say that i really adore this pair, their chemistry is just off the roof! However, the story never made sense to me, imagine desperately trying to get away from the phantom and then ended up bearing his child, like what!? lol my brows started frowning after that revelation but hey. the music is superb tho
LND reinforced what POTO already established - Christine and Phantom are soulmates. It's a Gothic romance; Erik & Raoul offered 2 different lifestyles. By the end of POTO we saw that she had genuine feelings for him & didn't fear him, but they knew she needed a chance at a normal life; that's why she walked away with Raoul.
As much as I wanted to give the Australian cast a chance, I can't help but be frustrated that I don't feel... Anything. I'm seeing the anger, the "this fucken psycho really think he can boss me around again" but none of the love they're mutually feeling but restraining. Sierra and Ramin gives me that, that sweet contradiction of the love that your heart wants but you know isn't good for you.
4:40-4:50 THIS SOUNDS SO GOOD OH MY GOD Overall even though I’m not the biggest fan of the love never dies plot, I do like Sierra and Ramin in this, they’re awesome.
I love these two together. By far the best castings for Erik and Christine. The only issue I have is with Love Never Dies as a whole, sure it's not considered a direct sequel, but it still continues the story. There are countless continuity errors and plot holes in Love Never Dies that don't add up with anything in Phantom of the Opera. On its own, Love Never Dies is actually really great, which seems to be a controversial stance.
The last few notes of this are Jack and Sally's theme from A nightmare before Christmas. Andrew, you did it again. You might not have meant to, but you did it again.
OMG, that's exactly what I was thinking each time those notes were played!! I kept thinking that sounds a lot like Nightmare before Christmas. And even though I like this song, I kept being so distracted that it was making me think of a totally different movie.
@@ilgnkoc3020 6:50, as they say "beneath a moonless sky" u can replace with, "we're simply meant to be." And basically every time they say that line. (It's just a small piece of the melody, but it's pretty noticeable to me. ) Mr. Weber often will lift little phrases from other stuff. Not exactly "theft," more like "subliminal influence," maybe.
Oh my God,los this couple,think was made in heaven for The Phantom Story,they really are Erick and Christine...love the Ramin's presence and feeling,and the sweetness of Sierra,love them together❤❤❤❤❤
I really don’t get why they never record the first original shows? Does anyone know why? If they sold the dvd years later I’m sure all Broadway fans would still buy them in a heartbeat. More like I think it’s a record of their talent, just all this art missing with no record. (Yes I know there is Cd version but sometimes the live version are so much more passionate!) So many original shows, I will always beat myself up for missing Anastasia.
Love never dies on the RUclips “ the shows must go on” on Friday! I hope someone streams it so we can still see it! But thank you for posting these! The quality is really good!
I saw Love Never Dies twice - In Fort Lauderdale, FL and in Nashville, TN. Now that we are unable to attend shows, concerts or theaters, listening to this song feels so nostalgic. As if this music is a memory of a life we will never get back. Thinking about musicians, actors, singers, ballet dancers, all those professions that took the hardest hit, yet are never mentioned in the current political or media narrative. They are out of their job and nobody knows if they will ever perform again. The world seems to have come to a cultural standstill. Maybe forever.
I love how Anna and Sierra sing Christine so differently. Anna's Christine is angry, livid that a Man she loved and thought dead was hiding away in the states for ten years. Sierra's Christine is sad. She has a life. She's married to Raoul and they a beautiful son even if he's not biologically Raoul's he's legally Raoul's, Erik doesn't really fit into that narrative. Oh I love this musical. POTO and LND are my secret (not really) joys
Tender scene of him entering in silence and taking her .. as if to say "Wait before you get mad, let me explain, I don't even know how much a total idiot I was ..."

@@uneasycylinder yes, that is all I need in my life.
I find hilarious reading the comments from adults “of this song is too sexy how can children listen to this”
1. poto and lnd are not kid musicals
2. First musical I ever did was spring awakening so poto isn’t a big deal nor is lnd.
Yes these people are great as these roles tho
have you heard 'say no to this?' from Hamilton?
4:45 ... his “and I kissed you” is so powerful
6:26 Aaaaaand IIIIIIII
@@roxyeeyee_8979 I adore both those parts, he's so freaking good
Ohhhh, Ramin has an amazing powerful voice!
Whoa, Ramin really wound up for that verse. Paid off.
The strength of Sierra’s Christine is just so breathtaking. I adore her so much
6:15-6:24 Ramin’s acting wow he doesn’t even need to talk to convey emotion you can see it in his movements
So much shame and pain, the way he dips his head and his posture slumps and he refuses to be close to her. There's something so insanely powerful about their chemistry, about how respectful and gentle he is. He learned a lot in those 10 years, he's matured. But he's still lonely and self-loathing, so much he sabotaged his own happiness and broke both their hearts and somehow Ramin just conveys it brilliantly.
I could literally watch them all day long, just obsessed with their passion and chemistry on stage.
I’ve been doing it for 8 years... ugh it never gets old ❤️😍
The most real chemistry was between Kevin Gray and Dodie Pettit.💞
Ramin & Christine:*Both singing*
Gustave:The heck is going out there?
@Meg Giry Hey Meg! How are you? Uhm, odd seeibg you on this video..
@Meg Giry I'm glad to see you too. Glad I'm finally away from Erik. He's been trying to look for me..
@Meg Giry I dont know.. lessons???
@Meg Giry Not sure.
@Meg Giry Not surprised you said that.
I just love this version with Sierra and Ramin!!! They add chemistry, sensuality and genuine emotion that others don’t. Ben and Anna may have more operaish voices because they were both opera trained but Rierra brought great voices and great performance, the entire package. Ben and Anna just looked fake and wooden together with no true chemistry. The subtle touches Ramin adds is BREATHTAKING and his gentleness at moments just BEAUTIFUL to watch!!!!!
I completely agree. I wish I could find the full recording somewhere. I don't understand why this performance was not put on dvd.
@Tyler Buckley Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman never did Love Never Dies, though. I think the comment was about this show specifically. (Also, I far prefer Ramin/Sierra's POTO to Michael/Sarah, but that's a different point.)
Amen to this. They really are the best Phantom and Christine😍
@Tyler Buckley well, even Andrew has said that Ramin and Sierra is the best duo. They are exactly how he imagined the characters to be sooo.
I thought both couples have great chemistry
Just came back here after watching the Australian's production of Love Never Dies. I mean Ramin and Sierra as Phantom and Christine is irreplaceable!! Their acting is incredibly outstanding! I just wish I could see the original version of LND
same 😭😭
I agree, the just add so much to their respective roles as the Phantom and Christine
exactly!! i almost laughed out loud watching anna's christine "fainting" at the sight of phantom. also that death scene was unwatchable .. RIERRA's acting makes the music even more beautiful!
@@lyeee6 OMG SO TRUE!! Midway of the LND premiere I was thinking 'what is this soap opera gibberish that reeks of a cheap taste'
Anna’s faint was silly
But I can’t get into sierras acting
They went past the point of no return.😏🤣
...well-
Christine hated that one lol
@@EmmaF lol
lol
I can watch this scene over and over. The anger, regret and (yes) restrained passion is palpable; the chemistry between the two is off the charts. The blocking reminded me of two cats...the careful steps, the cautious forays into each other's "territory" (even a bit of hissing...:) ) Magnificent!
This. All of This. Ramin and Sierra elevate this sequel with all it's foibles.
@@baxtrice Agreed,
I wanna be in a room where the balcony doors fly open and there’s Ramin as The Phantom standing there
wow, their chemistry is simply irreplaceable. I just watched the whole show of Love Never Dies from The Show Must Go On channel and I wasn't as convinced of their longing for each other unlike how Sierra and Ramin did it here.
I must admit I've always shipped Christine and Phantom when I first watched the live performance many many years ago, and was astounded when I found out they didn't end up together when I watched the show again from last week.
Either version of this scene....Erik, we've been over this, scare chords are not the moral or manners equivalent of knocking.
julietvalcouer hahaha love this
Nu-uh, its *MUCH* better
@Erik the Phantom XD
EXATLY
@@erikthephantom1375 Why not just knock on the door?
So, after seeing the officially recorded version, I do agree that these two have scads more chemistry together (to make the sexual attraction more believable for this song) and they both put a lot more emotion into their performance, versus being technically better sung. And after seeing them together in the 25th anniversary performance (the ending especially), this storyline is much more plausible. Not that the timeline matches up AT ALL (the writer in me cringes) but still more believable.
Why Love Never Dies works for me: the revelation that Erik (the Phantom) and Christine have a son adds emotional weight to the final scene of the 2004 Gerard Butler POTO movie. Raoul sees the rose & engagement ring that Erik left on Christine's grave and accepts it; if you match it with LND, then Raoul is acknowledging the peace and shared love they have for Christine. That way, it's a beautiful full-circle love triangle arc.
@@iluvlafferty even if I love Sierra and Ramin I adore the recorded version of LND especially this song, till I hear you sing and devil take the hindmost I mean that last one doesn't even compared to any other version I've seen
@@mundodelectura8785 sorry I did not understand... Which version for you doesn't even compare?
@@iluvlafferty I agree with you. LND ACTUALLY WORKS or at least potentially can!! 👍👍
I HAVE THE PERFECT SCREENPLAY IN MY MIND OF HOW THIS STORY SHOULD GO TO ME 🤗🤗😎😎:
🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥
1. Gaston Leroux book's flashbacks when Madame Giry talks to Raoul of Phantom's life in order to understand Erik past and traumas and personality so that the audience can feel empathy and compassion for his miserable and sad life
2. Phantom of the Opera 25th Anniversary version (with Christine looking back to Erik with love eyes and singing to him the first lines in All I ask of you in the ending that fix and makes the sequel understandable and believable because in this version their love/unique bond they share is mutual and not one-sided) with only making the choreography in Point of no Return less aggressive in the end and more seductive as it should be and as it was in the 1986 production [with Phantom first redemption at the end finally understanding how to express real true love]
3. Love Never Dies with a few changes in the plot holes (like more explanations of characters arcs and personalities changing - Raoul and Meg - during 10 years and more explanations on how/when Christine and Phantom one night stand went and the deep reasons behind Christine decision to come back to find Phantom after having left him in the end of POTO to follow Raoul who was at the time an healthier choice for her) and with set/costumes of AUS Version but with the original London cast (my dream is one day this version will be record by ALW). [at the end Phantom gaining his final peace and redemption at his son's side due to his son's love]
4. POTO movie ending with the rose and ring on Christine's graveyard (with changing dates in order to fit time-line) and old Raoul visiting the auction at the restructured Opera Garnier (beginning of POTO musical) and Christine's grave in a kind of travel to remember the past times he is finally acknowledging the fact that no matter how things went or who was her true love and soul mate or who she choose at the end: after having considered Phantom an enemy his entire life on his last days he peacefully recognize that they both loved her deeply and each one showed it to her in the way they could/were able to
THIS IS THE PERFECT FULL-CIRCLE LOVE STORY OF SOULMATES ERIK AND CHRISTINE 😍😍 AND PERFECT FULL-CIRCLE LOVE TRIANGLE 🤧🤧
THESE 4 ELEMENTS COMBINED ARE THE PERFECT GOTHIC, PASSIONATE AND HEART-WRETCHING LOVE STORY EVER 😍😍😍😭😭😭
IT WOULD BE A MASTERPIECE 🤧
I like the official one but I have to agree that there really is no comparison to these two's chemistry. I also feel like the official recording is almost too over-the-top and drowns it out making it not feel as authentic or just too dramatic for my liking.
Phantom:”and I touched you”

I LOVE THIS
I almost had to cover my ears when they were singing that! 🤣 I was like they did what???
So the Phantom ghosted Christine for 10yrs after one night.... tsk tsk

Ramin's haunted depiction of the Phantom is (for me) what makes his version my favorite. Throughout, you can see how tormented he is by his decision, even many years later.
UNTIL NOW I KNOW THAT THERE IS A SEQUEL AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT THERE IS ONE WITH RAMIN AND SIERRA? *I died*
Thank you! Omg I was looking for a comment explaining why is there people mentioning there's a kid, and that this is 10 years later, I didn't know there was a sequel?? Wooooooow
*music box plays angel of music*
Christine: oh god-
Can we just talk about how in this version, it feels like they actually KNOW each other? Like there has been a long history between them? The one with Anna and Ben was good and all, but all the changes in blocking made me feel like they’ve only known each other for a few years at best. They were sort of all over each other the whole time, not to mention the lyrics of Christine’s first verse were significantly altered. Sierra’s lyrics are, of course, “I should have guessed that it was you…” and Anna’s were “So it was all an empty lie…”. In this one, like others have already pointed out, their movements are restrained, not because they are awkward, but because they are feeling too much. I adore Sierra and Ramin together ❤️. No matter how many Phantoms that Sierra has been with, or how many Christines that Ramin has been with, Ramin is Sierra’s, and Sierra is Ramin’s.
The fact that she flinches at one point when he walks towards her, the fact that they're apparently scared to touch each other, the fact that he seems to understand how intense it must be for her to see him again. I agree completely, these two have a lot of unfinished business gone unsaid and it shows. The Australian one doesn't feel like a pair of people with a complicated and traumatic history the way this one does, it feels like two exes that split on bad terms accidentally going to the same party.
@@blueturtle3623 I always find it interesting to watch how two actors play the same scene so differently…Anne definitely leans more onto Christine’s anger here, which is a valid way to play it as the Man left her after taking her virginity and ultimately knocking her up.
The Phantom, even though we know his actions and intentions never were to hurt Christine, still ended up putting her in a very dire situation where if she hadn’t had Raoul available to marry her and the ability to pass her son off as his child…who knows what would have happened to her and Gustave? I look at poor Fantine in Les Miserable and can’t help but wonder if that might have been Christine’s fate.
So yes her anger is warranted BUT I LOVE that Sierra plays it more heartbroken, Sierra shows us her pain more then anything, her Christine seems so broken, from losing her Angel, to Raoul’s coldness towards her and his drinking, and having to raise her son alone.
She is trying so hard to keep it together but the fire has left her eyes and all her interactions here with Ramin’s Phantom just scream ‘I gave you EVERYTHING, how could you leave me! Don’t you realize I love you!’ 😢
Please don't ever delete this. It is so so good. I think they are THE best Phantom & Christine. Do you by any chance know if the full performance is available to buy anywhere? I've only found the audio recording...
Don't worry I won't, unless it gets deleted! I'm sorry but it isn't available anywhere. This recording of the performance is pretty rare these days. You can only buy the Love Never Dies DVD/Blu-ray with the Australian cast.
@@operaghost7381 Well, in that case.... I am so happy to have been able to hear this. I really wasn't a fan of the Phantom until I heard Ramin sing it. He just conveys so much emotion when he sings. He also brought something to the character that many Phantoms lack... class. Sierra also is extremely talented. I love the way she expresses emotion on her face when she sings. They are a remarkable pair. If this gets deleted I might pay you for these videos... for real. :) Thank you again.
@@CharityShalom I have seen 7 different Phantoms live and they are varying degrees of good to excellent but Ramin is a different level entirely. And Sierra is his match as Christine.
I have the original CD release with Ramin and Sierra and it is spectacular - wish I could get this video too
Richard Crossman lmao top tier. Idek why tf the Australian cast was what became on DVD...what madness
Edit: omg i sound so mean lmao, i realized this was the 25th anniv recording tho so it was technically years or something like that after ramin and sierra had their season which around that time the aussie cast fared to be more polished i think?
@@alexb4522 We had booked tickets to LND in London for our trip in mid-September which ended just 3 days before the 25th anniversary Albert Hall production (but those tickets were out of our budget). We were informed in mid-August that LND was closing and we would not be able to see it so we chose to see The Phantom instead with John Owens-Jones - the best LIVE Phantom I have ever heard, although Ramin on CD and video is a better one.
For context, I've never seen anything to do with Love Never Dies. But I figured "I've heard this song is good, and I love Sierra Boggess, I'll watch this" and when the doors dramatically opened to reveal Erik just standing there menacingly I WHEEZED
Gods, the chemistry between them is always on point. I'm sweating from the tension 😳🖤
i guess the flames at last consumed them!
The money I would give to see this live
YES I'll sell an organ to see Sierra and Ramin perform Phantom together HAHA. FOR REALLLL
Erik: -comes in dramatically -
Christine: -Singing in opera - Holy shit can you knock!
Listen...... as an avid lover of POTO (and someone who is also named Christine) I hate this sequel so much, but.... man if these two had reprised these roles in the Australian recording that was released, I might have fallen for this. I might have acually liked it. I absolutely adore this Phantom/Christine combo. Ramin and Sierra always bring their all, no matter what script they're reading for these characters. This was a great performance to watch! ❤

I really hope they release another filmed version of Love Never Dies this or next year! Especially since it’s been 10 years since the 25th anniversary with Ramin and Sierra. Their respective ages would be perfect since LND is supposed to be 10 years after POTO, and having a filmed version of the same cast would just be perfect!
BlackPearl Moon Apologies for the late reply! Perhaps, but I think in the book the Phantom is at least in his 40s, if not 50s) (Ramin is in his early 40s) and Christine and Raoul are in their 20s, add on the 10 year time jump from POTO to LND, their ages would be, in a word, ideal 😂

Beneath A Moonless Sky
Andrew Lloyd Webber, Simon Lee
I should have guessed that it was you
I should have known it all along
I chanced you in this dark
I should have heard you and that song
How dare you try and claim me now?
How dare you come invade my life?
If you had known the pain I've known
Then you would know I had no choice
Oh, Christine, my Christine
In that time when the world thought me dead
My Christine, on that night just before you were wed
Ah, Christine, you came and found where I hid
Don't you deny that you did
That long ago night
That night
Once there was a night beneath a moonless sky
Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try
I stole to your side to tell you I must go
I couldn't see your face but sensed you even so
And I touched you
And I felt you
And I heard those ravishing refrains
The music of the pulse
The singing in your veins
And I held you
And I touched you
And embraced you
And I felt you
And with every breath and every sigh
I felt no longer scared
I felt no longer shy
At last our feelings bared
Beneath a moonless sky
And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul
I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole
Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress
A woman and a man, no more and yet no less
And I kissed you
And caressed you
And the world around us fell away
We said things in the dark
We never dared to say
And I caught you
And I kissed you
And I took you
And I begged you
With a need too urgent to deny
And nothing mattered then
Except for you and I
Again and then again
Beneath a moonless sky
And when it was done before the sun could rise
Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes
I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye
And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky
And I loved you
Yes, I loved you
I'd have followed anywhere you led
I woke to swear my love
And found you gone instead
And I loved you
(How I loved you)
And I left you
(And I loved you)
And I had to, both of us knew why
We both knew why
And yet I won't regret
From now until I die
The night I can't forget
Beneath a moonless sky
And now
How can you talk of now?
For us, there is no now
Love how he changed the intensity a time "we both know why"
Ramin hitting those "AND IIIIIII"s with uncommon zeal and I can't handle it
There honestly is no better Christine/Phantom. Their chemistry is amazing. You can feel the yearning. Ugh.
4:53 reminds me of 'Point Of No Return', therefore I like it.
As much of a bad fanfic this musical was, this song is an absolute masterpiece
What's with Ramin's pinkies when he plays the Phantom 😂😂😂
I'm here because I love their performance on Phantom of the opera 25th anniversary show which is available on RUclips until the end of the day. I shipped her with Raoul but damn, she has chemistry with Phantom especially on the final act
Oh my gosh the way him literally just WALKING INTO A REGULAR ROOM WAS SO DRAMATIC 😂😂
4:45 When Ramin sings “AAAAAAAND III” my heart SWELLS
Butterflies in my stomach while listening to this song. Especially since it's a duet between Ramin & Sierra that makes it more spine tingling 😍❤️❤️
It’s amazing how words can be more erotic than any depiction.
Will i ever get to see ramin perform phantom live in this life? :’(
Lyrics
I should have known that you'd be here
I should have known it all along

You know if it wasn't a sequel to phantom of the opera and just its own musical it probably would have been more popular.
I got goosebumps watching him walk through the fog into the corner of the room... after 10 years.. WOW. so cool!
the way christine falls into his arms I CANTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Oh my sweet Jesus in heavenly peace... this is good!
He wasnt denied of the joys of the flesh
For anyone who watched the first play (The Phantom of the Opera) a couple of days ago here on RUclips, know that starting Friday April 24 at 7pm BST (2pm EDT, 5am AEDT) the whole "Love Never Dies" show will be available to watch for free here on RUclips, possibly for the whole weekend.
It gives me chills just to hear the music, let alone the two of them singing... Brrrrr
14 dislikes definitely from Raoul.
Love these two together so much. I love Ramin's strength when he sang, "And I".
Thank you, the London version of Love never dies will always be my favorite.
I saw Sierra and Ramin in LND in London in 2010 (wow 10 years ago). A year later the DVD came out and I was disappointed as it was nothing like the show in story or quality of performance/ singing. These two are Christine and the phantom. Subscribed as brilliant videos taking me back to one of my favourite West end experiences 👍
came here after watching the australian prod and i have to say that i really adore this pair, their chemistry is just off the roof! However, the story never made sense to me, imagine desperately trying to get away from the phantom and then ended up bearing his child, like what!? lol my brows started frowning after that revelation but hey. the music is superb tho
LND reinforced what POTO already established - Christine and Phantom are soulmates. It's a Gothic romance; Erik & Raoul offered 2 different lifestyles. By the end of POTO we saw that she had genuine feelings for him & didn't fear him, but they knew she needed a chance at a normal life; that's why she walked away with Raoul.
I like how sierras Christine doesn't faint upon seeing the phantom.
True. Me too.
As much as I wanted to give the Australian cast a chance, I can't help but be frustrated that I don't feel... Anything. I'm seeing the anger, the "this fucken psycho really think he can boss me around again" but none of the love they're mutually feeling but restraining. Sierra and Ramin gives me that, that sweet contradiction of the love that your heart wants but you know isn't good for you.
imo, they convey much genuine emotions of longing for each other and it takes my breath everytime
4:40-4:50 THIS SOUNDS SO GOOD OH MY GOD
Overall even though I’m not the biggest fan of the love never dies plot, I do like Sierra and Ramin in this, they’re awesome.
OMG JUST WATCHED LOVE NEVER DIES, I JUST WISHED THEY WERE THE CAST.
I don't like people who say that Ramin is better in POTO than in LND. He was good in both
I love these two together. By far the best castings for Erik and Christine. The only issue I have is with Love Never Dies as a whole, sure it's not considered a direct sequel, but it still continues the story. There are countless continuity errors and plot holes in Love Never Dies that don't add up with anything in Phantom of the Opera. On its own, Love Never Dies is actually really great, which seems to be a controversial stance.
Ramins phantom has me falling in love so much, my heart flutters non stop for this man
This is so worth watching...again and then again 😉
The last few notes of this are Jack and Sally's theme from A nightmare before Christmas. Andrew, you did it again. You might not have meant to, but you did it again.
OMG, that's exactly what I was thinking each time those notes were played!! I kept thinking that sounds a lot like Nightmare before Christmas. And even though I like this song, I kept being so distracted that it was making me think of a totally different movie.
Can you add the seconds please?
@@ilgnkoc3020 6:50, as they say "beneath a moonless sky" u can replace with, "we're simply meant to be."
And basically every time they say that line. (It's just a small piece of the melody, but it's pretty noticeable to me. )
Mr. Weber often will lift little phrases from other stuff. Not exactly "theft," more like "subliminal influence," maybe.
Why isn’t the ‘movie’ with these two, I can’t they’re both so perfect
Oh my God,los this couple,think was made in heaven for The Phantom Story,they really are Erick and Christine...love the Ramin's presence and feeling,and the sweetness of Sierra,love them together❤❤❤❤❤
I am his fan from Japan. Ramin has an awesome singing voice！I want a ‘ The Beauty Underneath ‘
This makes me feels so much more the song and acting than the Australian version
That's neat how he appears on the balcony, like Barnabas Collins :)
I really don’t get why they never record the first original shows? Does anyone know why? If they sold the dvd years later I’m sure all Broadway fans would still buy them in a heartbeat. More like I think it’s a record of their talent, just all this art missing with no record. (Yes I know there is Cd version but sometimes the live version are so much more passionate!) So many original shows, I will always beat myself up for missing Anastasia.
THE ENTRANCE WAS BLOODY AMAZING
Love never dies on the RUclips “ the shows must go on” on Friday! I hope someone streams it so we can still see it! But thank you for posting these! The quality is really good!
Sunflowers and Roses It’s not this one with Ramin and Sierra though, it’s the Australian production.
Opera Ghost I need to see a version with Ramin and Sierra!!!!!
I came here to fix my broken heart cause The Show Must Go On decided to stream the Australian version, NOT RAMIN KARIMLOO AND SIERRA BOGGESS’ VERSION.
The Australian version was used because it received better reception than the original version
I saw Love Never Dies twice - In Fort Lauderdale, FL and in Nashville, TN. Now that we are unable to attend shows, concerts or theaters, listening to this song feels so nostalgic. As if this music is a memory of a life we will never get back. Thinking about musicians, actors, singers, ballet dancers, all those professions that took the hardest hit, yet are never mentioned in the current political or media narrative. They are out of their job and nobody knows if they will ever perform again. The world seems to have come to a cultural standstill. Maybe forever.
I love how Anna and Sierra sing Christine so differently. Anna's Christine is angry, livid that a Man she loved and thought dead was hiding away in the states for ten years. Sierra's Christine is sad. She has a life. She's married to Raoul and they a beautiful son even if he's not biologically Raoul's he's legally Raoul's, Erik doesn't really fit into that narrative.
Oh I love this musical. POTO and LND are my secret (not really) joys
thank you for this!!!
Thank you so much!!!!😍
what wonderful video of this stage production, thank you!
I think I’m in love with the Phantom 🔥🔥🔥
Tender scene of him entering in silence and taking her .. as if to say "Wait before you get mad, let me explain, I don't even know how much a total idiot I was ..."
Me daría mucha felicidad ver esta obra de arte subtitulada en español
my favorite part is 5:13 because you can totally see how much they love each other
That tiny little chin touch Ramin does in like every Phantom/Christine song T-T that man
There’s no way in hell I would be able to sing this with a straight face
