A Day With Norm Lewis, Broadway's Phantom of the Opera

[@camilledaae9714]

I love how genuinely passionate and happy he seems. There's something so amazing about the love that people have for theatre, and his is no exception.

[@oumarcus3546]

Camille Daaé SO TRUE!!

[@b.d6642]

@Merrick Wallace but why?

[@courtneyw.9338]

Just the reference to Sierra makes me happy

[@savisbaddd]

I love Norm. He just has this amazing personality that could make anyone smile. Also oh my god the Sierra doll. I know, I miss her too bud. 😂

[@thegladys2651]

I love this rendition of the phantom. Love Sierra and Karimloo but also I would like to have a DVD/BLURAY with the full show with Norm Lewis. I think he did it great and his performance was relevant beacause he was the first African American in Broadway to play the role. Besides that he was a baritone when generally the people who played tha part were tenor.

[@Tomas-ql9yo]

Well all i know he sings beautiful and gives me chills

[@jswatch9270]

I want to see it on DVD right now

[@rebellehopes5899]

2:36 When Raoul is EXTREMELY fascinated by Christine (played by Seirra Boggess) haha. And I LOVE NORM LEWIS. HE SEEMS SO NICE.

[@MrSuperAdam64]

He is so talented and such a humble man...seriously a good role model for any person these days.

[@homosapien7316]

I was so happy when I learned he did Phantom, he was one of my favorite Javerts in Les Mis

[@christinaskaggs9689]

He seems so genuine and kind.

[@Pooquie1]

This guy has a new lifelong fan. The personality matches the voice.........simply amazing.

[@lissapepper]

I would have loved to see him as phantom. His excitement is contagious

[@ChristopherKellyMD]

I frigging love Norm Lewis.

[@nicolodeon05]

His passionate feeling makes me so happy :D

[@BenNZ-j9n]

This guy's fabulous

[@larrylutz6316]

He looked like a younger Bill Cosby for a second when that bald cap was first put on. He's amazing and probably should have been cast much sooner. People still need to recognize Robert Guillaume as the first African American Phantom.

[@shaykell100]

Roberts the first phantom. But on Broadway, Norm is the first one. When people say Norm Lewis is the first black phantom they mean on Broadway

[@aphoticphoton]

He must have put the pudding and pills while with Christine

[@scotthamp384]

@Shahdae Azura but they should say, the first on Broadway

[@bostongal75]

Norm Lewis is SO amazing. . . going to have to get back to NYC to see this.

[@CD-tj3hg]

I SAW HIM AS THE PHANTOM LIVE HE WAS AWESOME

[@sapphiresushi3437]

luckyyyyy

[@kyralee9692]

He is so talented and beyond adorable👏😭😭

[@MsKekeChannel]

With a voice like that he would make a great Martian Manhunter.

[@HelloMyJesusFreak]

SLAY NORM SLAAAAYYYY

[@RichardArsenault]

Norm Lewis God Bless and PLEASE come to KZbin Spaces L.A.

[@pinnataisabella]

anyone pls explain me about the sierra boggess doll?

[@purplecarrot2448]

pinnate she left and it means that like people are missing her

[@kfea82]

what a cutie

[@jamesoniris2647]

Norm Lewis feels like the father I desperately want

[@Niqhtmusic]

I never realized how small the phantom dressing room was.. OMG Kaley! She’s so awesome!! And Jeremy 🤣🤣🤣 OMG I LOVE THIS CAST aaaa ❤️

[@Tomas-ql9yo]

What a voice

[@xanderguldie]

Saw Kaley Ann last week and she was fantastic! Also if you saw Norm as Javert than you wouldn't guess hes such an uplifting guy. Such a good actor

[@lukegreen5341]

0:01 Norm Lewis Also Played The Role Of King Triton From Disney's The Little Mermaid The Broadway Musical In 2008 Based On The Academy Award Winning 1989 Walt Disney Pictures Animated Family Musical Blockbuster Movie And Hans Christian Andersen's Classic Novel Of The Same Name. Thanks Mate. X

[@lancer525]

He's so right... Developing and establishing that pre-show energy is the absolute key to a performance.

[@TsumiMegami]

AHH HE'S SO GREAT

[@lukegreen5341]

Awesome Phantom Of The Opera Backstage Tour. Thanks Mate. X

[@deannalauber4611]

Oh, Norm! I love The Phantom of The Opera! I wish I could see it in person!

[@simondavies4834]

what a great guy

[@b.d6642]

Norm Lewis is the best person ever prove me wrong

[@CarolynTainter1]

Laughing over the doll, it's like OOPS MY BAD ! :D

[@Abby-km6vr]

Sometimes I wonder if Sierra has actually watched this video, and seen the doll...

[@valeriacanedo7649]

Sierra Boggess?! 😂😂😂

[@BetteDavis19]

She left the show!

[@sebart9321]

@@BetteDavis19 do you know why she left?:0

[@melissam597]

Art Ardere she was only contracted for a few months

[@amyclarke41]

[@harriet.z]

[@shelleyrightmyer6421]

[@34thstreetman]

[@jlly16]

To quote from Robin Hood: MIT: Peasants: A Black Phantom?? Blinkin: He's Black??

[@carrerazwieg8312]

How the phantom gets ready for a performance listening to happy

[@Abby-km6vr]

WHEN HE SAID THE DOLL WAS SIERRA!!!

[@LolaLens]

Anyone know of a complete show recording of Norm as the phantom?I mean a legitimate one, not a cell phone video? Thanks!

[@jws1272]

I Cosplay (and sing) this "Phantom", and I want Thelma to put that makeup on me!!!

[@clipperbob960]

I wish I turned out as well as Norm Lewis did :P

[@scotthamp384]

Actually, Norm was not the first minority Phantom on Broadway. That was Kevin Gray

[@orianamandi]

It's soooo nice that the Phantom has been played by a black man👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@SlowxParentsCrossing]

JEREMY HAYES. What even.... lol

[@MarcoPerez-wj2ej]

Do they do the signed posters all the time or just occasionally? And how do I get one, because I would love to watch a show and get a poster too

[@marianrooth9514]

I love it. You're wonderful m

[@neilldn74]

No Sierra? :(

[@KatieT97]

She had already ended her run by this time

[@ingridaguero6460]

I got to meat Thelma when i went to see the show. I may or may not have screamed.

[@MissingSirius]

Why's his dressing room so small?

[@girlishgamer1]

MissingSirius A majority of buildings in New York City are small.

[@johnmoss1444]

Well I'm planning to be the very first young Phantom. I don't know if I'd either be on Broadway or the US Tour but either way I'd feel successful.

[@RealAngelOfMusic]

I have the same dream, but make it Christine 😆

[@johnmoss1444]

@Christine Daaé haha. Never mind. I’m 24. Who was the 21 year old Phantom out of curiosity?

[@finleyforevermore]

2:20

[@yonatankahn2884]

Phantom

[@adrianghandtchi1562]

How do I make it without college of music?

[@TheOscarFrancois]

Adrian Ghandtchi Private lessons? Seriously, I’ve thought what you’re thinking too. If I knew before, drama would definitely be what I chose to do in college. It’s hopeless now...

[@sakura_rain4915]

where's sierra?

[@sakura_rain4915]

DOWNY BOTTLE oh, that's a shame. but thanks.

[@nathalybabushka5564]

DOWNY BOTTLE she didn't quit or got fired. Her run ended

[@jessicafrotto4547]

Is there anyone more sweet or loveable?

[@jordannickel-dubin9851]

Norm Lewis was not the first African-American Phantom. Robert Guillaume was.

[@dresuke25]

On Broadway?

[@jordannickel-dubin9851]

Kevin Whitmer He came after Michael Crawford.

[@jordannickel-dubin9851]

Kevin Whitmer My mom was the one who told me that Robert was the first African-American Phantom. She never said whether he was on Broadway, Off-Broadway, West End, etc. Norm Lewis was the African-American Phantom on Broadway. Sorry about that.

[@michaeldillon2205]

Jordan Nickel-Dubin i believe he only did it in LA

[@jordannickel-dubin9851]

Michael Dillon Yeah, I looked it up. Thanks for the correction. My mom had told me that Robert was the first African-African Phantom, and I thought that meant the first African-American Phantom anywhere. Thanks! Have a great day!

[@ethanshaw6290]

When the camera was moving back it actually looks like he was bald

[@zacharypederson6816]

I want your voice...

[@ethannavarro943]

She became an alternate, that must suck to be a main then an alternate

[@mialevi1341]

Šebek? Are you a Croatian or a Serbian?

[@mimimyymyy5105]

Jeremy is me

[@yonatankahn2884]

Robert Gullam was the fist African American fandom

[@KatieT97]

Robert was the first ever but he was in London, Norm is the first on Broadway

[@jaysalvoro9834]

Katie Tucker *Los Angeles

[@ethannavarro943]

The ending is cringe, but we love norm for that

[@raindropsroses1088]

yikes at the fur lmao

[@miss_glamrock5214]

Sierra boggess is the best Christine

[@IJustFiguredThisOut]

He plays the phantom? But he's black, not that there's anything wrong with that, just surprising to me.

[@annmitchell4663]

The Phantom is not an historical person..so he can be any race.

[@IJustFiguredThisOut]

@@annmitchell4663 True. He can be any race. Just historically he has always been played by a white man, but yes any race can play him.
