0:33 If I hadn't already known they were married, I'd be like DAMMMNNN A LITTLE TOO INTENSE THERE GIRL

4:53 best one hands down

The Hungarian version hits different 😮

How incredible this is!!!! Nice work!!!

I also like how most of them has Christine on stage right and Phantom on stage left.

Wow! FInally a video from the czech republic!

🥰🥰🥰

Wow!!!! You are spoiling us!!

such a hugh work!

*Stranger Than You Dreamt It* and *All I Ask of You (Reprise)* are the standards by which I measure how much I like the actor who plays the Phantom. You’re a manipulating, murderous psychopath (through no fault of your own, but still a manipulating, murderous psychopath nonetheless). You better *sell me* on why I should, despite all things that you do during the story, *adore* you as a character. Not every actor who plays the Phantom can do that, in my opinion. But the ones who can are *brilliant.*

I’m sure all the muckety mucks were thrilled with this.

I like the phantom removing his gloves to touch Christine. That’s the most interesting part of the choreography of this scene - what I found to be a clever change. I saw this cast live in LA and Mann was phantastic and Katie was very good.

Not me crying-

Hungarian one was funny and very distracting with the conductor on the mirror! Especially the one with Sandor Sasvari!

I jumped at the make you choice part 😂. This was brilliant

Someone is cutting onions alright!

Lloyd Webber’s score is incredibly demanding vocally and this number is full of pitfalls . These two voices are flat almost all the way through. I like Chris’s studio work and I can see why he was cast as the Phantom. His tenor is reminiscent of Michael Crawford’s … when he’s on pitch. Michael was not the strongest singer to ever do this role, but he was the consummate performer of it. He never pushed his voice past its limits as Chris does here. These parts are incredibly demanding… The original Christine, Sarah Brightman, for whom the part was written was forced to drop out of the show after a few months because vocally she couldn’t cope. She came from the world of pop and did not have sufficient training and her voice couldn’t hold out. Michael knew exactly where the sweet spot was for his voice, enough but not too much and he stayed within it. No one has surpassed him as Phantom because the part requires as much showmanship and personality as it does vocal power. He was a true original, and all his successors are pale imitators.

My favourite version will forever be the one from the 25th anniversary with Sierra and Ramin (though I respect and appreciate these versions too)

1:44:09 - Howard McGillin was my first Broadway Phantom; out of the four actors I’ve actually seen live, he’s still my favorite.

Gobsmacked! Well done Paul Stanley. 👏

Miss ya Phantom of the Opera of NYC. Memories remembered.

Is there a version somewhere where it doesnt cut off at the end

In the Brazilian version, the fall of the chandelier was greater, due to the size of the theater (one of biggtest we have) it was incredible. Almost two years of season with sold out tickets in both productions. Saudades! 💛💚

I know some things need to be changed for practical reasons on tour, but I really wish they had keep it as close to original production as they could.💔 Don't wanna be a hater, but much of this blocking is in direct dissonance to the lyrics, and these actors are giving it their all with what they've been given. No wonder people didn't want to see phantom on Broadway anymore if they thought this is what is was. It really can make a huge difference the way the same story is told. It genuinely makes me sad that people who have never seen phantom see this and think its the same thing. Not saying they can't change *anything*, but the original wasn't good because it was the original--it was good because it was a formula that had proven itself time and time again. Seriously...people pay to see this show...give them the same award-winning musical thats been around for literal decades💔💔😔

Poland was the scariest.

I wonder how many replica Ruthie chandeliers have been made ever since all over the world

Is it just me, but the one that has someone saying "Excuse me" freaks me out a bit?- @ 0:34

The way Ben Crawford sang it sounds so good!

4:34 "it's in your soul that the true dis-tortion lies" OMG I LOVE IT

I re-watch just gives me goosebumps

Where did you get footage of Katie Hall on the UK tour

Wow, Erik’s really intimidating in this version! Brilliant job

He was the first Phantom I saw live and he blew me away. Maybe it's the nostalgia talking, but no one else can compare.

Oh wow, one of the many malfunctions Hugh went through, gosh I wish I could have seen him perform live

Yeah I peed my pants from Poland.

Guys, you should incluye the Madrid's 2023/24 version, different to each of these already known ones but also impressive. I don't want to describe it as spoiler but must be seen.

So I wanted to comment on this since I haven't seen anyone else; I've noticed that some Phantoms have played the character in a manner which has ticks and signs of being autistic. With this, anyone who understands autism knows that this actor did a fantastic job of making the character more redeemable in that he doesn't seem inherantly malicious, he is literally just autistic and is having outbursts. It's a really cool thing to see, and fantastic work to Mr. Thaxton!

Hugh's interpretation of the Phantom is absolutely brilliant. I have only seen some brief scenes bootlegged but it's enough to see he brings something special, new and fresh to this role. He brings out the humanity in the Phantom. Has a childlike quality. He's electric to watch. I just love his acting here!

Well, this proves it: sensitive artist types make the best kissers and the most appreciative receivers of kisses. Support your local arts: kiss an artist.

Okay…. I don’t want to be mean but….. Am I missing something?? I don’t think Hugh is a bad actor by any means but I don’t think he is meant for Phantom. He is by far my least favourite phantom. I think he is incredible but not for this part. If I’m missing what everyone is seeing then please reply.❤️

Wow! This is dark! Love how different actors play the phantom

Could you possibly upload the Cemetery Wishing/ Wandering Child with Franc and Lisa. 🙏 Thanks!

Kudos Jeff you put your right foot forward

I love how Franc speaks the words 'Christine, I love you" in addition to singing. Haven't seen other Phantoms who do that.

My favorite Christine! She brought life to the role. She wasn't just docile , like so many of the other Christine's I have watched!

3:01 Holy shit. This needs to be the new standard.
