Far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart cannot resist.
The musical opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre on 9 October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles, and there have been dozens of productions worldwide since then. Now in its 30th record-breaking year, The Phantom of the Opera continues to captivate audiences at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End, after more than 11,000 performances.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s mesmerizing score along with jaw-dropping scenery and breathtaking special effects, magically combine to bring this tragic love story to life each night. - Hudba
She's literally glowing while expressing her excitement for the role xo All the best to you, Lucy!
But who will portray the Phantom opposite her?
@@darthkurland I’m playing Christine in phantom of the opera at my house on Thursday 27th of July
My favourite phantom of the opera
We now have POC playing two of the best lead roles of this musical. This is amazing.
Which ones specifically. I know Lucy's playing Christine, but who else aside from Raul briefly.
@@shelbymckinney8888 I believe it was Phantom.
@@shelbymckinney8888 Norm Lewis played the phantom 😊 he is AMAZING
Ramin Karimloo (25th Anniversary Phantom) is Iranian-Canadian.
@@shelbymckinney8888 off the top of my head: phantoms: robert guillaume, norm lewis, ramin karimloo, and derrick davis; and ali ewoldt as christine. i'm sure i've missed others.
I can only imagine the giddiness she felt. Like I feel giddy just watching her.
Just to wake up to see her joy is such a blessing
What a lovely elegant voice she has. Can’t wait to hear her songs ! 👏👏👏👍
Can’t wait to see her as Christine. Has such a lovely voice and absolutely stunning. Got my tickets booked for July. 👍🏼
Congratulations! Lucy will make a great Christine. Watching this got me a bit choked up and realized how much I've missed the theater after all the epidemic crap of the past year. Can't wait to binge visit all the shows!
I’m so relieved to see Maria bjornson costume, I was scared they were gonna be changed.
Lucy looks stunning and I can’t wait to see her in the show.
Let’s hope we can see Original HMT M Bjornson sets, too.
@@andkyrmar I think that some of those set pieces are too iconic to have removed from the show. Not sure about the chandelier.
oh my god these costumes look AMAZING with her skin tone AHH 😍😍!! so happy to finally see a brown woman in this role, it should not have taken this long.
It should’ve happened decades ago
@@austinpearce5442 True but although they claim to be inclusive, most entertainment artists are actually incredibly racist.
Racist. Would you ever say that to a white actor regarding their costumes?
@@austinpearce5442 for real. You know what else should have happened a long time ago, having a black Glinda in Wicked on Broadway
@@andkyrmar no bc it wouldn’t look good them 😆 (colors look different on different skin tones, talking about how these colors interact does not enable racism. preventing actors from auditioning for roles bc of their race does.)
Absolutely exquisite costumes, Lucy has such an exhilarating enthusiasm how I wish I could attend one of the performances 😍🤩
What I love the most is that she wasn't chosen just to be more "inclusive", she was chosen because she can actually sing. It really warms my heart to see how excited she is and I really hope to see her perform some day.
How do you know? Or is that just an opinion? The UK tour open casting literally stated “We are particularly interested in seeing BAME people.”
THANKS!!
I hate to break it to everyone, but she wasn’t chosen just because she can sing- tho it’s undoubtedly true that she’s an amazing singer.
She was a last minute hire after so many people displayed their unhappiness with the production (and especially the orchestra) being cut down. If this didn’t happen, one of the white girls from the tour would have been cast (they’re now understudying Lucy).
What a doll! She deserves more than that tin-toy orchestra Cameron's putting together.
I agree. It needs the full 25 piece orchestra from the original production.
She's so cute and beautiful 🥺 she's living my dream 😢
This is so amazing!! She seems perfect for the role!!
Perfect is Sierra boggess.
@@raquelcrespo1254 i prefer Emmy but to each their own
@@raquelcrespo1254perfect is whoever can play it and convince and thats nor exclusive of Sierra. Gosh why her fans are so awkward
Loved it! Im going to watch her preformance, she looks fantastic! I love to see black actors in Broadway, i had the same reaction when i saw Norm Lewis as my baby Erik ❤❤❤❤
Why enjoy watching black actors? How does skin tone add value, especially if the roles of the characters were originally white? Sounds like positive discrimination, to me.
And there is no ‘Erik’ in the ALW musical. It’s Phantom.
@@andkyrmar It's Valuable to see more black actors because white people have been Center stage since the dawn of time and have always had it easier and have been more superior in entertainment period.
Also as a Broadway and book nerd, the Phantom's name HAS ALWAYS BEEN ERIK!!!!
@@andkyrmar But it's okay....I'd be freaking out too if my race was going extinct in entertainment😏.
Im SOOOOO HAPPY for her.... You can see how much this means to her.... CONGRATULATIONS LUCY!! 🎉👏🏾GOOD LUCK!!!!
I’m very very happy for you, Phantom is my favourite show, I wish I could go back to London to see and hear you play Christine, go for it!! Love from Ireland xxx
Her energy and excitement, the way she glows, the fact that she knows she's going to cry. I just love seeing someone's dreams come true. I first saw her perform for the Platinum Jubilee and I was blown away.
I'm crying! This is wonderful! Congratulations once again! You're going to be wonderful!!!
I really want to say thank you for inspiring me to believe you don't have to look exactly like the original character to play them because I have always loved this play and wanted to be many fair skinned character as a child even though I had dark tan skin. I am so proud that is more diversity in the world now so thank you so much you are so talented I wish you the best luck and hope to maybe see you perform someday
It’s not a ‘play’. And when diversity extents to white actors being cast into POC roles, I might agree. Otherwise it’s plain box ticking.
@@andkyrmar white people CANNOT be cast for roles meant for people of color that's white washing. It would be like casting a white woman to play Celie in The Color Purple or Dorothy in The Wiz. Also, if a character description doesn't have a certain ethnicity it can be played by anyone besides a white person
@@tarinblanding1584 I'm sorry but not sorry, exactly the same thing applies to poc being cast in to white people's roles. Christine Daae is written to be from Sweden originally. Poc shouldn't get offended when they aren't cast as native Swedish people. So a white person can't be cast as a native African, same applies the other way. It's got nothing to do with trying to upset, exclude or offend people.
I don’t want to ruin this to you, but this actress was a last minute hire.
Phans worldwide were protesting against the change of the production and cut orchestra, on top of Mackintosh’s blatant mistreatment of his employees. (He fired a veteran of 30 years in the show on the West End, who played the role of M. Reyer).
People were calling out CamMack for his behaviour and were planning to boycott the show.
What to do to make people forget about it? Political correctness. If they really wanted to make the role diverse they would have done it years ago.
If this scandal didn’t happen, or at least if the public didn’t protest, you bet that they would cast another white actress in it. Most likely the two from the tour, as they’re Lucy’s understudy RN.
So yeah, the diversity here has an ugly price. Do whatever you want with this information.
@@TheOrientalNightFish Sierra Boggess is American, not Swedish and no one complained. The point is Christine's nationality has nothing to do with her character, if it did then I would agree with you. You'll are finding every excuse in the book to not like Lucy being casted
So wonderful to get a peek at her in all the costumes 😍
🎶Christinnnneeee🎵 ☺️ Congrats to Lucy and a though for the costume designers.
i hope that's me someday😌🤞 congratulations to lucy!
She is going to be such a good Christine!!!!
I am so happy for her! 🥰
You can see the joy on her face and I'm so happy for her!!!!
I really hope they record this production 💖 everyone deserves to see Lucy as Christine!!
Good luck 💖🍀
