    Jordan is performing Raoul as if he were the Phantom. Commanding presence, powerful movements, and trained classical voice.
    Now that's a thought: Jordan Donica as the Phantom.
    Ali Ewoldt is fantastic.

    3:34 Hands down the most precious thing ever to happen on the Majestic stage, it just made my heart melt! Everything about Ali is so sweet and adorable , and Jordan is a real-life knight in shining armour. They are some of the best I've seen in their roles. And I LOVE that they both put such a good effort into doing an English accent! It often feels like a lot of the Broadway PotO cast can't really be bothered, but I think it just makes such a difference (but that's probably just me).

    Jordan Donica's portrayal of Raoul is downright my favorite I've seen thus far. I'm not a fan of Raoul, in the book he was a wailing mess, others have portrayed him as pompous which never helped. I only really loved Patrick Wilson's, who was protective and loving, but Jordan's is far superior for his boyish portrayal which makes everything between him and Ali just adorable.

    her and sierra are my favourite christines. Sierra's voice is gorgeous and sweet and her acting is so perfect- a true natural onstage- while Ali's is so so so powerful and her acting is exaggerated perfectly- most people who exaggerate their actions look fake as hell and look desperate while Ali just looks amazing (also, POTO has features of epic theatre, and that's the singing literally all the time, and epic theatre is supposed to be exaggerated). In my mind they are both the best at what they do

  • @johnmoss1444
    @johnmoss1444 Před 6 lety +12

    Is it just me or is Jordan Donica really Patrick Wilson esque? Yes I personally think that this is the best Raoul for the stage version of Phantom of the Opera as he is the most similar Raoul to Patrick Wilson's version despite being the first colored Phantom. In fact, I like the fact that colored people play these parts, for if I were a play director I would be very giving of a chance and not discriminating at all.

    Do you have a recording of the new North American touring cast doing this bit? When Raoul looks around for Erik after Christine thinks she hears him she acts like she might jump off the roof. It was a completely new reading of the character and the scene. It took my breath away.

    • @PrismsofGlass
      @PrismsofGlass  Před 7 lety +1

      Yes, though it's technically not new - I believe Katie Knight Adams began it in the London production around 2003/2004? Rachel Barrell did it as well, though in a more understated way, less overtly "suicidal". I think a few other Christines after them did it too. The director of the tour, Lawrence Connor, might have been around as house director in London during that time and liked that bit of blocking, and possibly brought it over from there. I'm not a fan at all of the tour's rooftop scenes, so I'll see if I upload any. But I do know what you're talking about.

    • @nikolasstormy
      @nikolasstormy Před 7 lety +1

      I've never much liked the staging of this scene, either. It is always a bit too plain considering it follows the excitement of Il Mutto.

    • @PrismsofGlass
      @PrismsofGlass  Před 7 lety +8

      Hmm, it sounds like you think I said that I didn't like how this scene is staged in the original? Because I actually do - I think the understated nature of it provides a nice, and more intimate, contrast to the Il Muto scene, which is more comedic and chaotic. I'm not a fan of the restaged tour's staging, though - the "suicidal leap" Christine makes ends up making Raoul look like he's saying everything just to keep Christine from taking her life, rather than from sincere love. And I find that the blocking in the restaged tour has the actors at opposite ends of the stage at times, shouting their love to each other.

      @bitchass7198 Před 6 lety

There's also a video of him in the 'Final Lair' with Ali Ewoldt uploaded by a different user.

  • @irinakermong1217
    @irinakermong1217 Před rokem +2

    One thing that makes or breaks a Raoul for me is "Why Have You Brought Us Here". Some Raouls are either bored, others are outright dismissive, some are outright mocking Christine *cough* Hadley Fraser *cough* but the best Raouls look concerned for Christine throughout, try to reassure her, attempt to calm her down by saying "Don't worry, I get you're scared a stage hand was murdered but the rumors about that ghost haunting the opera aren't real". And at the end, he puts two and two together and realizes that whoever murdered Buquet is also after Christine for some reason, and that's when he snaps into Knight in Shining Armor mode and you go "Oof, the Phantom better watch out". Jordan Donica is everything I described in the latter instance, and he does it PERFECTLY.
