The Phantom of the Opera is a one of a kind musical genius. There will be nothing like it in our lifetimes ever again!

[@jswatch9270]

The PHANTOM of the OPERA is my favorite musical of of all time especially from Andrew Lloyd Webber who I would love to call him the Martin Scorsese of a broadway musical composer.

[@MDkid1]

@@jswatch9270 You are right!

[@Siegfried1917]

they're having so much fun, it's good to see how down to earth the creators and actors of the most famous musical of the world are and that they don't take themselves too seriously. also two raouls singing to christine and her not knowing who to choose is even better that one christine singing phantom of the opera with four phantoms.

[@audrahorton311]

I love how Gardar seems so protective of Sierra. He guides her out onstage gently and when he sings, it seems like he is singing for only her. Then, when they are exiting the stage, he puts his arm around her back almost like he is making sure she stays safe, even though she isn’t in any danger. ❤️

[@edwardoliverdean2534]

Just can't get enough of the Phantom! Just love his musical! The songs are in my ears, in my head all the time!

[@libbycampbell2557]

I love Sierra! She is soooooo incredible!

[@grandmasmagic3858]

THAT.........!!!! THAT was bloody brilliant....!!!! loved the humour, but still more loved the six of them singing together..I've had that tune playing on a loop in my head all week after watching it last weekend...

[@jaysalvoro9834]

The best bit was “All I Ask Of You”. It was funny. Also Celinde has such a sweet voice.

[@maryzhong149]

I really love the voice of Ms.Sierra Boggess

[@merrileebeazley863]

I love this musical. I was a music major, so all of this is wonderful. The story is the story of the Beauty and the Beast. This is another version with amazing music, performers and the crew along with the support staff who make all of the other things happen without our realizing it. "The mystery and the magic". It all works. The dramatic story pulls at your heart strings.

[@blissinchains]

We will never see live theatre like this ever again unless we fight for it now.

Been over a year and I still can't believe I was there. Best night of my life

[@stefch7]

They are all so talented and have great voices! What a treat to have the chance to listen to different Phantom and Christine at the same time! Thank you!

[@jbz9547]

The best part is when Michael Ball appeared, and then Michael Crawford. My two fave Michaels. Hoping to see MB play the role of Phantom one day.

[@anythingbutserious5587]

Just think of what the 50TH anniversary will be like, let alone the 100th!

[@KaylaM13]

Andrew wont be there tho.. that'll be sad..

[@skyletta0626]

and the whole phandom whispered "please let Ramin and Sierra sing together again"

[@user-we5pd7ds5o]

Both Ramin and Sierra will already be grandparents, by the time they celebrate the 50th Anniv. Also, both actors (or even all of us), sadly won't be around anymore. If they make it to the 100th Anniv. Andrew, Hal, Cameron, Gillian, etc. will all have already passed away on the 50th and even 100th Anniv. We won't even know who'll carry on Andrew's legacy.

[@skyletta0626]

I find it interesting how for the title song, Sierra was escorted by Gardar Thor Cortes

[@Rachel-xf1yc]

Haha loved the Raoul showdown, I just wish the Phantom came out and stole her in the end!

[@melindayang4718]

She should have kissed Andrew the third time. Also love the addition of French. Would have been more interesting to see Sierra and Gardar sing in French the entire time while others sang English. Enjoyed the trade-off between Celinde and Sierra for the condenza at the end of the title song.

He did in the 25th! ;)

[@misssparkles7520]

he has never performed or sang at a POTO anniversary, the 25th or the 30th. dont think as i said above he could sing the phantom in his 70's. or would want to even try, not with all the younger Phantoms standing around . His Phantom is the bench mark , and really all the phantoms have done it his way and the part he created ,down to every movements he put in , still the same,. legend .
