Behind the Scenes of The Phantom of the Opera 25th Anniversary Part 2

[@KatieT97]

5:05 Makeup artist is all laid back and nonchalantly says "There we are." Ramin gives him a blank stare for a millisecond and says "WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHOW LETS GO!" 😂 I love that part

[@KatieT97]

6:20 it's Katie Hall! My favorite Christine for the line "Tears of Hate"

[@MDkid1]

+Katie Tucker And he jumps up like a bat out of hell! lol

[@altf1279]

Katie Tucker When Ramin said that I honestly exploded into a pile of dumb giddy happiness

[@madelief1900]

Love it Ramin looks so cute and so innocent at that moment ❤️

[@n2i2c2k2y]

Ramin 'we're in the middle of a show, lets go !' then the other actor 'oh my glasses sorry' hahahaha classic

[@leona6280]

MICHAEL FREAKING CRAWFORD *dies* Also 5:18 - 5:23 "OH my glasses!" XD literally that sums me up before going on stage Also that random pigeon

[@vhsvintagevault9202]

Leona Low XD hahahahaha

[@madphantom7161]

Yup, same with me. Glasses are always a problem.

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

Where is the random pigeon ?? Lol i missed it

[@jaredvecchio]

Where’s the random pigeon

[@davasg96]

I’m here in 2020 because Sierra told me to

[@c0ronariu5]

davasg96 me too

[@Chishannicon]

I have never found Ramin Karimloo (or tattoos) attractive. But dang, when they showed him in the chair at 3:49 .... I almost fainted. So beautiful.

[@sarapaintgirl]

"Oh! My glasses" Story of my on stage life. 8D

[@annikawassilak3674]

oh wow I love love Ramin's tattoo on his upper arm its so cool

[@annafaux1106]

The Phantom of the Oprah is by far my favorite musical, and this is by far my favorite rendition of the many many version that I have seen both movie and play. If you haven't already seen this I suggest you do, they have the whole thing here on youtube.

[@renovilla]

Opera, not Oprah.

[@KatieT97]

Oprah is as in Oprah Winfrey

[@conho4898]

Anna Faux Phantom of Oprah omg lol

[@theadae2494]

Anna Faux Lol if you've seen so many versions then you would probably know how to spell it xD Fail.

[@CanadianGuy2004]

Anna Faux Opera

[@PhantomifyEponine]

The guy who designed the distorted face from the 2004 movie should watch this. This is what should the Phantom look like!!

[@_phaedra_1817]

What??? No! The movie was waaayyyy more realistic.

[@kammo1976]

@@_phaedra_1817 realistic, yes, scary, no. POTO is meant to be horror (with a romantic subplot) and the 2004 movie looked to be a bad sunburn. Plus, this makeup actually holds up better to the original book(s, if you count susan kay's adaption)

[@AlydiaRackham]

@@_phaedra_1817 The movie Phantom actually wouldn't have much trouble walking around without a mask in society--it just looked like a burn on a small part of his face. Considering how often houses and other buildings caught on fire in that era, he definitely wouldn't have been alone in that department. Also, he had quite a bit of hair. His "deformity" wouldn't have caused him to be in a freak show because it isn't major enough. (A woman having a facial scar like that at that time would not have been able to walk around, but a man would just look more rugged.) I agree that the deformity needed to be much larger and more dramatic for the film.

[@hoseoxk9310]

TRUE 😂

[@annmitchell4663]

They tend to make the movies a bit Hollywood...can't have TOO much of a deformity..they have to make him the handsome side of ugly..lol.

[@moomindan24]

just a random Hadley-appreciation-comment passing through....

[@emmerysayshi125]

I'm sad at how little they showed him in this video... :(

[@alessa.]

Oh we love Hadley we love him so much

[@Kissimmeenc]

The best kind of comments 😍

[@moomindan24]

@@emmerysayshi125 that's true :(( i was looking forward to his interview

[@queenmeowmeow0983]

My little brothers middle name is Hadley and he gets called by his middle name

[@pameladenicolo3300]

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHOW

[@andresbarragan4915]

I saw the musical last year with John Owen Jones in the role of Phantom. I think he absolutely nailed it! Him and Ramin are awesome

[@michellehayton3449]

very cool,I cannot wait for the dvd, it was sold out, so gotta wait three weeks! I love this musical so much and it gets me every time! It makes me laugh, cry and melts my heart. There is something about Ramin that is so unique in this roll. His emotions are so real and profound that by the end, there are real tears spilling down his face.

[@lovelyhorsesong]

OMG OMG OMG. This was just too much, freaking wonderful. Ramin and Sierra and Hadley are adorable!

[@PhantoMace2012]

3:12 - 3:23 BUT WE ALL APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

[@user-pi9sd4wp6d]

ah, I love that random pigeon

[@elizabethbennett111]

I agree the pigeon is soooooooooo great he is probably a movie star

[@MagicalMusic34]

No wonder I love this beautiful production and watch it all the time. This is incredible. 😍

[@almfr]

I love you Ramin!!! You're one of my favorites phantoms and your voice is so beautiful!

[@ashleyartus8430]

Incredible! This is groundbreaking., will go down in history. Breathtaking.

i love Ramin's enthusiasm at 5:07-5:10 Ramin: we're in the middle of a show. let's go! Tucker :*laughs*

[@margiemasih982]

I love phantom of the opera.the part where he says I love you Christine...oh is so good

[@sigiluvsu]

Sergio Polunin was that dancer!?! No wonder he appeared to float!!

[@drartemisa21]

I remember seeing him in Murder on the Orient Express then rewatching the 25th anniv and realizing "wait... This guy looks familiar" Needless to say I ended in a Sergio loop.

[@PeterPanDisneyDork]

everyone just seems to be so friendly and silly backstage! that's so different than what I'm used to!

[@AmandaWhite0295]

I saw the musical last year on Broadway with Peter Joback as the Phantom. He was excellent.

[@artsytimewithella9911]

Amanda White I'm seeing it on Broadway in a few weeks with Peter. I'm so excited!

[@elizabethbennett111]

Andrew Lloyd Webber needs to show the full performance of Phantom Of The Opera like he did the Cats in " The Show Must Go On " . PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DragonRebelRose]

Okay, so it's canon now that the Phantom wears suspenders and I'm very okay with this.

[@cosmicash7]

Watching this in 2020.... I love Ramin and Sierra so much.

[@heyitsmeeve3271]

me too!! They are amazing and I want them to perform both POTO and Love Never Dies again!! They are SO amazing!!

[@bjaxstriker5245]

Can anyone link an interview with Hadley where he talks about Phantom? I’ve found it surprisingly hard to find him discussing this show.

[@vale111vs]

It couldn't have been better. I am so glad they filmed it. Wonderful!

[@auuggghhh]

You know, I once did a curtain call with my glasses on... I had played a blind character.

[@suemount6042]

Omg can’t believe I only just found this.we were there and it was amazing beyond belief

[@tshering.l.a]

When it says "Fin" I'm like "nooooo.... Keep going.... Please.... Pleaseeeeeeeeee! "

Michael Crawford... omg Ramin... JOJ!! COLM... FREAKING... WILKINSON!! OH. MYGOD. ANTHONY WARLOW!! AAAAAH

[@FunFlirtyFlute]

I think I'm in love with Ramin Karimloo!!

[@madphantom7161]

That glasses guy has a really nice voice! Somebody please tell me, what's his name?

[@ozpin707]

Silvia Luna, the girl who loves spiders Gareth Snook! He plays Andre. Probably my favorite character after the Phantom, to be honest.

[@LesPhantom24601]

we're in the middle of a show, lets go! Haha Ramin

[@minajahan5313]

JOJ's face at 2:43!!! And Colm's laugh! These are the little things that make my life complete.

[@CanadianGuy2004]

Mina Jahan the bald guy isn't Colm Wilkinson it's Anthony Warlow

[@maggiestone7982]

No wonder why the greatest talent is the Phantom of the opera and how the opera goes got its name and how it got the talent The Phantom Of The Opera is one of my family movies and I’m a big fan of The Phantom Of The Opera. I have the monkey with the symbols.

[@kale3563]

1:05 I did not know Gardar Thor Cortes was in this production! Also, he's freakin' adorable right here!

They look like they're having a great time.

[@tshering.l.a]

5:06 wow!!

[@Kissanminttu2]

You mean Michael Crawford, he's the one that originated the role of phantom and won a Tony award for it.

[@amyclarke41]

Johanna Lepistö he used to be so intense doing phanton😎

[@RaphaellaPhilcox]

Haha at Wynne Evans doing the stretches! Met him at the stage door, such a LEGEND!

[@TheDarKnignt]

I felt anxious for them just watching this? 😭

[@Meljoy00]

The Dark Knight me toooo lol

[@98hamtaro]

I SWEAR my body is shaking of anxiety since the first second of this video

[@leedscab123]

JOJ is my favourite Phantom by far.

[@krisbroholm]

So did I, I'm extremely happy for her. I also love her Christine :-)

[@WaddlingWithTheWallaces]

Oh my goodness that's awesome!! Didn't know that!! Thanks!!

[@kfeve11]

Whoop!!! Wynne Evans! Love him in this!

[@krisbroholm]

Oh yes, she's the current Christine in the UK Tour that's currently in Manchester I believe :-) You can find multiple recordings of her singing all the songs here on youtube! She's quite amazing in them too.

[@rockinfluff]

JOJ at 2:43 haha classic, and Gareth Snook "Oh my glasses" I love him and Barry in this. Also the awkward moment when the camera flashes to Michael Crawford and I briefly fan girl because I think it's Michael Ball for a split second.

[@Jordanindahouse]

OMG it's the Go Compare Man as Ubaldo Piangi

[@amyclarke41]

In the uk pig ian like is back

[@shelleyrightmyer6421]

[@timpidkaminy4141]

Big fan phantom of opera cool

[@lucywallis400]

Katie Hall at 6:20 and 6:31 and (I think) Gina Beck at 6:24 on the left :) I think Sofia Escobar is the one in blue at 6:31 as well

[@amyclarke41]

Don't know these ladies but I guess they are christine 😦

[@lucywallis400]

Sofia and Katie were principal and alternate at the time and Gina Beck had been Christine from 2008-2010. They are pretty popular with a lot of people

[@isobelduncan]

Gina Beck is also in the trailer for the musical

[@cgrafen]

omg.*-* ramiiiin.!*-*

Yes, Katie Hall :) x

[@analuisarex]

Looks like it! Can't be sure. But I think so.

[@NinjaKittyRules1]

lolz me too, half the time I'm runnin' around the stage blind xD

[@krisbroholm]

Unmistakenly!

[@WaddlingWithTheWallaces]

I thought so. I didn't see her name in the ensemble list so I wasn't sure. Thanks!!

[@theatresofty]

Why is the actor at 3:25 naked!? lol. Is the lady putting something on his back to prepare him for the show?

[@Kpoipon]

yes!

[@kholroyd2283]

3:24 is that Lee Mead?!

[@grizzlycornwall8281]

masterclass

[@dcarmenm8839]

I really want to see the musical..

[@panickingpineapples3949]

I think that Anthony Warlow's voice suits Jekyll/Hyde more than phantom

[@melissam597]

Nah he’s great - if anything I find Ramin a tad unsuited to the role

[@Musical00Minecraft]

6:21 is that Katie Hall? It looks like it :-)

[@ferdyholim5687]

It's Katie Hall. I've just check on the credit in the end of the video, and her name is on it.

[@WaddlingWithTheWallaces]

Is that Katie Hall at 6:21?

[@chloeclover98]

6:21 Is that Cosette from Les Miz 25?

[@mcflyrocks26]

awh Katie..I love you far too much

[@WonderstruckFleur]

[@harpy0586]

5:39 looks like sierra in love never dies

[@jaybonn5973]

Jesus fucking christ why is Ramin vogueing for the camera XD ❤❤❤❤❤ and omfg that pose

[@EddiePunched]

Go Compare! Go Compare!! at 2:18 and 7:20

[@CarolanIvey]

Curious as to why Ramin has two microphones? Or is that pretty common for the leads to have two?

[@kristenshumway6178]

Yes I saw an interview with Sierra and she said there are two in case one goes out

[@olinapeters2108]

Yes. Due to sweat having nowhere to evaporate at points in the show where he has prosthetics, bald cap, wigs and hats, if sweat gets to one of the mics, It'll stop :)

[@krisbroholm]

:) I'm glad to help!

[@christianabila5209]

6:21 was that Katie hall

[@ferdyholim5687]

Really?

[@ferdyholim5687]

She was. I've just check on the credit in the end of the video, and her name is on it.

[@melissam597]

I think Rachel Barrell was too? Think that was her at 6:24. Would have been cool if they had got more Christines involved

[@ariameivlas]

is bill clinton and ronald reagan were mixed they would look like the guy in the middle at 7:44.

[@ferdyholim5687]

It's Michael Crawford. The original Phantom.
