And plus Stuart Townsend Is the better Lestat ever in the world and no one can play the part of Lestat as he did bring it to life.

Lestat Will always live in my heart.

Oh this is so beautiful, Hugh is the best.

What...

1:25

hahaha oh god that's so funny

All the comments are putted on years ago... It seems like Hugh has done nothing else but playing Phantom those days. But I am so found of his singing... I wish he could sing some new songs or have some new events. He is the angle of the music.

He is busy playing the phantom on broadway.

i did too. guess we both learned somrthing.

what's this i hear thy are bringing someone in From Sweden this Spring? any chance you'll be doing another curtain call video when he leaves?

I sat in the front row next to huge during music of the night on the stage. Omg i was in tears. I was crying until huge spit on me.

I might as well contribute...the first time I saw it was in Vegas with Kristi Holden as Christine and her robe got caught on a fake mannequin in her dressing room just before The Mirror. My mom started laughing.

@paula74 ...please let me know the date and time for the performance? I'll make sure to be there!

I love the way he says "WoOw"

Wow!

I always thought Sandra and Hugh were a couple :/

'He keeps looking at me and going (gesture) like that and I'm just like what is he doing?' Haha, I love him :)

I just saw Phantom last week and Huge was incredible! I'm watching this and it's bringing me to tears just remembering how breath taking the performance was. His voice is perfect and beautiful and this song is captivating!

.... nobody should treat Hugh Panaro that way! Actually, no one should be treated that way.

i also saw in the behind the scenes stuff that sometimes the boat developed a mind of its own during the west end previews. The boat would enter one side and leave the other without coming downstage. Once it went too far and was hovering over the pit and Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman had to keep their weight in the back of the boat to keep it from tipping. With the crazy technical stuff in the show i feel like stuff is bound to go wrong lol

WOW! I am really impressed with all the Phantom history here!

This isn't the first horror story I've heard about Stanley Donen.

do you do his make up

You most likely saw Hugh. I know I saw him on April 9 that year and I don't recall him having any vacations right after that.

Can someone please tell me who played the phantom during April of 2005? I completely forget which phantom I saw that night.

I saw Phantom for the first time with my gf last night. I did not know much about the musical beforehand, just that is was very popular and the mask, of course. She really wanted to see it. I thought it would be just okay... I loved it and Hugh was by far the best in the cast! I am now a huge fan.... :-)

Hugh was in TRS??? THAT sure weas short lived

this was for when he was 15, in fact it sounds too high for him now but he still killed it!

The entire interpretation is marvellous but especially from 2:08 and onward EPIC singing, feeling and pronounciation!

I find it so funny tht my mom went to go see him the first time he was phantom then me and her went and we saw him again she said she go to see him inprove and hes a far better actor know

I've seen the show twice. The first time Christine tripped when she came on to sing Point of No Return. The second time the Phantom repeated 'hear it, feel it, secretly caress you" in Music of the Night.

DAMN, and he's sitting!

Hugh was amazing in San Francisco!

Awe, I love Hugh! I need to give him a hug >:

Going to see him TONIGHT!! Will let you know how it is!

@ThePhantomphan24601 Yes, mostly around 2005 and 2006.

@Paula74 wasn't Gary also on the tour?

@ThePhantomphan24601 Howard McGillin (with a brief fill-in by Gary Mauer), then John Cudia took over for Howard, and Hugh came back when John left.

who replaced him after this? i cant remember

good

omg this was really phenomenal!!

Wow. He has a really pleasant voice. Sweet, sensual, he can hit high and low notes. I'm melting right now. He is really fantastic.

I thought no one would be able to be as good as Michael Crawford (the original Phantom) but thankfully I'm wrong. :)

He's the best of the cast. His music of the night performance really touch me deeply. And his acting is so convincing! I would definitely love to go and see him perform again.

@TheHarlow77 It's Sandra Joseph (youtube hides the video descriptions now, but it's there)

even when hes singing an angry song hes still adorable!

I was sooo lucky to see him do phantom last december! <3

he srsly needs his cd, a soundtrack of phantom of the opera broadway would be amazing , saw them in begining of may--AMAZING!!

WHY DONT THEY HAVE HIM RECORDED?!?
