It is sad that the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway is closing on April this year, but I will never stop listening to the songs of the soundtrack and watching the movie.
There will be other Phantom productions, the stage direction and sets will just be different. Phantom itself isn't ending permanently.
During the pandemic, they changed some things for the London production and reopened with changes. I believe that is what they are doing for the Broadway production.
I saw Phantom at the Majestic in February 2017. I had no idea it was closing this year. It was absolutely astounding.
@@LeonorFiniCat That is too bad. Any play where the underlying theme is Ableism should be put away in the same cupboard as Al Jolson and his blackface routine.
Michael Crawford lived next door to aunt and uncle in Bahamas and gave brother and new bride 2 tickets to Phantom in NY at Majestic. For a wedding gift.
Ramin’s “Christine I love you.” never fails to make me cry! 😭❤️
Yeesss when he sings "looove" I immediately well up🥺🥺🥺
Every time!
Same here
Yes.....every time😢😢
I SOBBED.
I haven't watched this in so long. I had forgotten how moving the music is. Both Sierra Boggess and Karim Karimloo were perfectly cast in their roles.
Thanks! I was wondering who these were.
The ending of Phantom must be oone of the best endings in musical history.. it is absolutely breathtaking... Sierra is one heck of a Christine and Ramin is one hell of a Phantom... I am mesmerized every time i watch this ending....
For me, ties with Les Miz
Ramin is the beat phantom for me
I got to hear him sing Music of The Night and Til' I Hear You Sing live at one of his NY concerts. I also got to see him play Jean Valjean in Les Mis on Broadway. Absolutely breathtaking!
They ate the best. I had never seen this and listened during lockdown when tye shoes were put online for free. Totally stunning and they've amazing
Best Broadway shows in my opinion:
1. Phantom and Les miz (tie)
2. The King and I
3. Brigadoon
4. Too many great ones to list them all
God, Ramin is incredible. I cry at the final lair every time 😭💔
I.find it a bit sad 😭 I don't.cry tho it warms my heart I love this song
ikr? I have watch the blue ray today and the end has made me cry. Its so touching how christine gives him love and he is just overwhelmed from it. He plays the role so amazing also the other actors too!
I've seen every incarnation of The Phantom of the Opera since I was a teenager and I am just in love with the songs and story line. I love this production of it. Great cast. Great vocal talents from all three leads.
My favorite version of The Phantom. Ramin and Sierra are perfection.
Welll, yes, be than you want to take into consideration the Nightwish version with Floor Jansen and Henk Poort as well. However, Ramin might be the most
appropriate artist for the phantom.
@Axel Hager I have seen that version. Cool yes! But I prefer the Broadway version!
Happy belated anniversary Phantom Of The Opera! I am very sad that this show is closing. Wishing that their will be a US tour soon.
It is only on Broadway that the show will be closing. It will still be in the West End and Australia with Mandarin Chinese edition coming soon.
@@samuelking9343 I know thank you but all of those are far away from me.
The way he says “blindly” at 13:27 like a pray is pure poetry and always stoles my heart. The entire ending every time heartbreaking
Saw it for the second time in NYC 12/23/22 and I became emotional. This musical is the reason I love Broadway.
I cried at the end every time. This is the best show ever. Absolutely love it😍
I second
"Think of Me" reminds me of my dad. We went to see this and he was dressed up and looking dapper...only a few years older than I am now.
Every time I see Ramin Karimloo in this production, I am reminded of his immense natural talent. His acting and his voice - exceptional.
Such clear pure vocal talent for both leads ❤
christine's pain and heartbreak on her face while leaving her master..kissing his hand..and climbing to a healthier but perhaps emptier future..
This music fills me like no other.
Andrew Lloyd Webber is so very talented his gifts to music are truly God given.
Ramin is amazing &such a voice. Hadley is just handsome & great voice. I also love to watch Gerard Buttler as the phantom plays it well ❤
I agree with you in regard to Gerard Butler. He clearly is not a great singer but he had a decent "stage" voice and his acting chops made his Phantom more of a passionate and sympathetic character than many other portrayals. Add to that Joel Schumacher's excellent and imaginative direction, Emmy Rossum's Christine and the movie version, taken on its own terms, is quite good. I've seen Phantom in San Francisco and the shorter version that Hal Prince restructured for the Las Vegas run and loved both of them (with Frank D'ambrosio in SF and Anthony Crivello in Vegas). This 25th Anniversary version can stand with both of them. The staging is superb and, of course, Ramin and Sierra are as good as it gets. I have the Blu-ray's of this performance and the movie version and never tire of watching them.
What is really sad is that she starts to sing towards the Phantom and not and and not Raul ( even looks back to him) and seems very heartbroken when giving the ring back making some of us wonder if perhaps her feelings towards Erik may have been love but the circumstances and his actions was what pushed her to Raul's arms. There is a nod from Eric when she looks at him without words as if she is asking if the choice she's making/what she is doing is right?
THANK YOU IVE BEEN THINKING THIS BUT UNAVLE TO PUT IT INTO WORDS
By this production Love Never Dies was being produced so I think that this staging is giving a nod to the sequel in comparison to how it was originally staged.
Yes! I was saying to myself when Raoul starts singing back, “Dude, she’s not even talking to you” 😂
Ramin and Sierra put their heart and soul into their performances and they were brilliant! There’s always someone who says Hadley overacted. This whole play is so full of drama and strong emotions that for him to play it any less would have been a disservice to the play. I did read once that he said he said the eyeliner he wore was a whole other character! Truly one of the best plays and absolutely the best performances in the history of the theater!
Did anyone hear Ramin whisper “I love you” as Hadley and Sierra went up the stairs?
Ramin’s Phantom never fails to break my heart 😭
The phantom's lair scene never fails to make me cry. Never. Ramin and Sierra are the best Phantom and Christine, period.
What a production, and what a loss for Broadway 😢
That was spectacular in every way. Such music. It's hard to comprehend how such genius creates something like this. Bravo to the cast, and how blessed we are that we get to hear this treasure. I hope this music is never lost to time, that the music of the night is never over.
Gives me the chills. It is that good.
When you feel empathy for the antagonist "villian" character that's great writing and acting :)
Well he is definitely an antagonist but I will never consider the Phantom to be the ‘Villain’, SOCIETY itself is the Villain of this story.
Society that would treat an innocent child like a monster for something he couldn’t control (his face) and in response he grows up feeling like he has to be what the world labeled him as from birth, what his own mother labeled him as from birth…because nobody sees him as anything else 😢
A classic case of ‘since I’m always going to be a monster in the worlds eyes, I might as well embrace it’. And hence why it took Christine showing him love for the first time that allowed him to genuinely show love to her in return…someone saw him as something more then a monster so he could BE something more then a monster. ❤
Society is the villain in this story, not the Phantom.
Just my opinion.
I feel when at 9:13 he says “a mask, my first” is not only referred to his real first mask but also to the fact that in his life he has to wear so many mask not only in the literal meaning but also the mask he has to wear in his feelings. To emphasise this there is, after “my first”, a long pause that for me give this sense to the entire sentence. Am I alone to think that?
that was the takeaway i got from that too. sometimes all people know is to wear masks , like a self preservation thing, which of course is just a part of life. i think this story really does a good job of sharing and embracing the complex and tragic side of life
It’s the whole idea that’s he’s had to hide himself since birth practically since nobody, not even his own Mother, would accept him otherwise.
That he could only be accepted so long as he hid himself. Hence why he felt he had to deceive Christine with the ‘Angel of Music’ ruse in order to get close to her, because like everybody else in his life he feared she’d reject him if he approached her for real…it’s heartbreaking 😢
That’s why what Christine does here when she kisses him shakes the very foundation of his worldview about himself…the idea that someone could see past his face floors him, and in a weird way she gave him permission to be a Man and not a Monster ❤ whereas the World had only ever allowed him to be a Monster.
Whoah! Now I understand Phantom of the Opera...
Bravo! Beautiful performance! Absolutely stunning casts and singers! Melts my heart!
The phantom finally realised what real love is... But he knew he couldn't have Christine because she's still alive and he belongs to the dead. He realised it's better to free her and now that he knew that Christine made him feel what love is, he woke up to his senses and freed his obsession and everything including Christine back to her lover.
Not all villains are bad. Some are indeed craving for just a little bit of kindness and understanding because they must have been badly hurt before and never received true love from those people. It only takes a small light of hope, love and kindness to brighten the dark - or the darkness in one's soul. 🌻🌷🌸🌷🌻
Mais do mesmo. O que eu quero é a gravação oficial da comemoração do aniversário de 25 anos de POTO na Broadway com o Hugh e a Sierra. Todos sabem que foi filmado profissionalmente, mas até agora não lançaram.
Comentário perfeito! Eu tb quero MUITO essa gravação oficial do Hugh com a Sierra. Eu amo o Hugh ❤❤
@@florzinhala não sei pq eles filmaram profissionalmente e não lançaram ainda. Eu vi trechos da apresentação e o Hugh está simplesmente perfeito como sempre! Eu quero esse dvd logoooooo
Verdade, deveriam lançar
Amazing production spoiled by CZcams adverts. Just start the ads in the beginning so people can watch it uninterrupted
What people don't know is that this play is really about the enchanted Monkey . These people have died but the enchanted Monkey lives on through new owners to this day.
The best ending ever. I cried for the Phantom. So heartbreaking.
Npw I am waiting for the Chinese Phantom of the Opera with Ayunga as lead actor. His prologue is hair raising and tugs at the heart.
What i would pay to see this live with Ramin as Phantom. He is absolutely phenomenal
¡Este musical es una joya! No me canso de escucharlo ♡
Ojalá lo presenten nuevamente en México aunque lo veo muy improbable u.u
Lo mismo pienso 🥺🥺🥺 ojalá que nos escuchen 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Can someone please tell me who plays the Phantom and Christine
it's ramin karimloo and sierra boggess :)
And Hadley Fraser as Raoul
Have seen this many times but never this close up. The emotion is incredible.
Saw Phantom in London's West End last month....so memorable!!
Should run for 35 more years. Broadway absolute.
I had the opportunity to experience the Phantom many years ago, and I'm saddened is no longer in production. It is a great loss to all!
Depois de RAMI e SIERRA, fica praticamente IMPOSSÍVEL que outra dupla consiga interpretar os papéis...
The Phantom of The Opera became part of New York, and rightly so! Currently mumber 1 Broadway attraction and after 2 years of Pandemic closure, it rose and is far from defeat. Set to close in 2 months, I pray that something happens that change this undeserving closure. We, the public, will be back at The Majestic Theater as long as the Phantom is there! Please, don't close such a superb piece of Musical Theater!
Got to admit, that was a great rendition of the end sequence.
I hade the privilege of seeing the original Canadian cast in the Pantages theater in Toronto in high school on my senior trip and it is hands down the best show I've ever seen. Then I got to see the American tour in Kalamazoo, MI back in 2007 I think with my wife. Once again, very good.
I have to say this cast of leads would have been amazing to see live! I will truly miss Phantom. The one show I was never able to take my 2 daughters to see, and it is without a doubt a favorite of theirs. Owned the soundtracks of the Movie, the OG London and Canadian (CD bought when I saw it...very old and still kicking to this day) that they heard hundreds of times.
I love all the adaptations of this, from the silent movie to now. All have their charm, love & heartbreak... So beautiful!
Can someone please tell me which teather and what is the date of the performance?
Around August 2011. I saw it streamed live in a theatre then.
@@saxmanb777 Thanks a lot. Do You remember by chance which teather was it livestreamed from?
@@vikischmidt7934 Edit. Royal Albert Hall.
@@saxmanb777 This is incorrect. It was done at Royal Albert Hall in London.
@@terrib627 you are right! Don’t know why I had that in my head. Corrected.
Who's the father of Mdm Giry's daughter?
Monsieur Giry, I guess? I assume he's passed away.
@@klina7645 Giry doesn't sound like a french surname. I guess its Mr. Giry 😂 from England who fell in love with a young Ballet girl in one of the french opera being played at the Opera Populaire, where mademoiselle 'not yet giry' was part of the ballet chorus. then they hooked up and bing-bang-boom there was Megatron. shut up Meg!
14:39
It makes me cry every time.. There's so much pain in his eyes
Absolutely breath-taking, that last scene always makes me cry my eyes out. The phantom never fails to make me wish Christine had gone with him. That "Christine I love you" is so heart wrenching and painful. I LOVE The Phantom of the Opera! Best show ever!
Sure, he killed a couple of people but I feel kind of sorry for the Phantom.
E, como algo viciante de ser assistido, a performance de RAMMI beira o INACREDITAVELMENTE PERFEITO...
...sem dúvida alguma, um desempenho artístico e emocional IMPOSSIVEL de ser um dia igualado.
My question is wtf happened to his hair, was it attached to the mask😭
Por mais que novas e novas e novas Produções de "O FANTASMA DA ÓPERA"
se empenhem...fato é que JAMAIS poderá ser encontrada uma nova DUPLA DE GÊNIOS
como RAMMI KARIMLOO e SIERRA BOGGESS
É absolutamente INEGÁVEL a afirmativa de que estas performances de RAMMI e SIERRA não serão igualadas NUNCA...
... JAMAIS!!!
I'm not really a musical guy, I don't end up enjoying most musicals and I've seen 20+ Broadway shows (my family loves them). Phantom, however, will always be one of my favorite pieces of media/anything - I listen to it almost weekly
No words, just the music.
I look back at these amazing performances every once in a while and I can't forget them😢
IM Cryinnngggggggggggg I'm so glad I at least got to go to the show once. I definitely did not expect it to be my last chance ever!
"It's over now...the music of the night"
I had just listened to this whole thing while doing dishes and prepping dinner. It brings back memories of going to watch this for the first time with my grandmother when I was 8 at Broadway. And later going to see it in London with my wife at the Queen's Palace Theater. I was in absolute tears during the Phantom's performance here. All of the good memories flooded back. I used to sing the songs in the shower while growing up. I even said to myself I would play the part of the Phantom for free if budget cuts were a huge reason why they were stopping the production. This performance was the first time this play ever made me cry. Bravo/brava!
진짜 라민형 노래 연기 지린다...😢
I only saw the movie with Emmy Rossin. I've been a fan ever since. Absoloutly the best music I've ever heard from the orchestra. Sooo sad it's closed. I'll never get to see the live play, but I've downloaded the music on Bluetooth and sing it in my car, people stopped next to me ask what music is that? I tell them it's Phantom and they usually smile and say, BEAUTIFUL! I agree. Bye Phantom.
What they did woth the live mirroring of the audience is ingenious First time i saw it i never fell of my chair & it was a spectacular result. After all of these years it has retired from Broadway. It will be back bigger & better. Phantom & Les Miserables are my 2 favourites musiclas. There are a big bunch of other brilliant, superb musicals but these 2 are a clear class above everybody else. I toss Love Never Dies as well. I was Love Never in Melbourne & i watched Andrew Lloyd Webber say on TV that Melbournes version of Love Never Dies was the best in the world. He also stated that Sierra Bogess was the best of all time Christine in Phantom. It surprised me at the time but after watching more of her singing i totally agree.
AAAAAAAAAAHHHH I NEED TO SEE THIS IN REAL LIFE 🙏🙏
This opera brings heavy emotion!!
Musical theater looks so thrilling. Just to have such talent!!!!
Does anyone know what staging this video is from? Is there a complete version?
25th anniversary
Now that I think of it, I wonder what will happen if Meg came with Raoul
18:15 that tears me up every time. its a feeling all too familiar. and that last look... " go and be happy"
So sad the Phantom is leaving Broadway for the final time when the PHANTOM IS BROADWAY.
Objectively the best version
I just can’t stop crying…
Need no words.
This might be the best play in the world, my forever and all time favorite
言語の壁があっても魂から感じる。
号泣しすぎて頭が痛い
Glad my Mom and i saw it live, a memory i will treasure always!❤
There will never be a better musical than FOTO! Facts!
Les Miz
Madam Giry: "your hand at the level of your eyes"
Raou: no lol
We’ve seen this five times and never get tired of it.
The last 39 seconds let me feel so weird and I talk to my self this is what I feel today on streets, and I see more and more often, and I do not have to go to treater to watch them .
Ächø Qüe sou o único brasileiro Qüe gosta de Opera. 😥😢😭
It is sooo sad. What an awesome run on Broadway 😅
soo powerful every single time! always one of my favorites!
Me crying all the time
It's a great musical I think it'll return in maybe 5-10 yrs
I have this CD on Biue Ray and play it on my home theater system and crank up the volume and sing along. O my freaking God!!
The GREATEST musical since Jesus Christ Superstar. Of which i've seen both. I absolutely love Phantom and it's VERY SAD too see it go. I was lucky enough too see the oringal when Crawford and Brightman came to NY. But i have too say that Karminloo and Boggess were FANTASTIC in their roles.
I saw "Phantom of the Opera" 4 times including the original cast of Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman and Steve Barton and loved it each time, but no one, but no one can replace Crawford as the Phantom because unlike the subsequent actors who portrayed the Phantom, albeit very well, after Crawford left the show, Crawford gave the Phantom an ethereal, ghost-like, apparitional quality, whereas the other actors who played the role, while understandably not wanting to imitate/copy Crawford, were too herky-jerky in their gestures and movements on the stage. So sad that arguably the greatest musical of all-time has closed because the gross overreaction to the pandemic in the closing down of businesses during the pandemic ruined ticket sales because the decline in tourism to the USA - which long-running Broadway shows are dependent upon once locals have stopped buying tickets - made the rising production costs too expensive for the show to continue. Without the overreaction to the pandemic, that wonderful Broadway show would have run for at least 40 years!
I wanted so badly to see Michael as the phantom! Robert Guillome (sp?) he played Mr Benson on Different Strokes, who knew he could sing? He was fabulous, did an amazing job, but, he wasn’t Michael😢.
…Hannibal?
omg Sierra is amazing...
I wish I could like this twice.
the end always got my tears
This is perfection! Of all the Phantoms I've seen this is the only one that brings me to tears at the end. The heart break is palpable
Mesmerizing, breathtakingly beautiful masterpiece. Encore!❤
You can hear the sniffles from the audience lol me too
SIERRA nem parece existir de verdade...
...ela mais parece alguém que somente pode existir nos sonhos humanos...
Esta muy increíble este musical 👏💖🌟
The most beautiful voice that I ever heared.❤❤❤
Butler's voice is more passionate.😅
Hermoso, maravilloso, que fantástico, gracias a estos fantásticos cantantes y actores, mil gracias 🙏🙏🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
saw this last nite
amazing performance
last part made me cry
amazing show ❤❤
True.. I just went. I couldn't miss it
É absolutamente "ATERRORIZANTE" de tão maravilhosamente PERFEITO!

Healing in different worlds ways apart
Ah i love this stage show they both have good voices and the song think of me reminds me of last February 2023 when my mum lost her left foot it reminds me of saying goodbye to it it was hard 😢😢😢 I love that bit when the phantom takes christine away and the other man turns up on stage and he said to the phantom free her the phantom just laughed at him do you think they are friends or rivals? The phantom and the other man are they rivals?
