I think Ben Lewis is the best phantom for Love Never Dies because his voice is so much more mature compared to Ramin whose voice is more suited for the younger phantom in the Phantom of the Opera. Both portray the Phantom amazingly, just at different ages and time periods.

In hindsight, it is clear how right the Australian casting decision was. Ben embodies a darker, older and sadder Phantom. And his rendition hearkens back to Gaston Leroux' original portrayal of the psychotic genius - he is Dracula, Nesferatu, Frankenstein, the Beast. Ben Lewis' Phantom personifies those dark and haunting literary figures more faithfully than most Phantoms in recent memory.

I would legitimately travel to another country just to see Ben Lewis perform as Erik in the original Phantom of the Opera. He is exactly what I imagined him to be in those dark years before the internet was widely used. 😂 And his take on him is just so spot on... He definitely brings the maniacal edge to the character that actors like Ramin just really don't. No shade, they're great for different reasons, but Ben brings it to a whole new level.

Is it just me, or The Phantom in LND should sound like this and not like Ramin's youthful tone?! I mean, Ramin's a great vocalist, no one doubts it. But in this story, the Phantom is already 10 years older. So he's kinda supposed to sound deeper. I love Ben's voice. It's dark, it's mysterious, it portrays Erik really well. We need more baritones like this man.

Ben is Amazing. His voice is like a dark soft lullaby in my ears. He should totally have an award that says "Best Singing Voice For The Phantom". He makes the Phantom more torn for his love of Christine, more malevolent with his desires,more bitter and ashamed, and more vulnerable of the piece of his heart that is empty that only Christine could fill (hence the lines "My broken soul can't be alive or whole" and "I'll always feel no more than half way real" he still waits to hear Christine sing)

I think that the phantom should have that deep and powerful voice that Ben naturally has, both in POTO and 10 years later, in LND. Also, unlike Ramin, I can feel Ben's emotions through his singing, not just his acting. His voice is just so smooth and tender and I can feel what he is feeling through his interpretation of every word. I cannot wait to see him take on the original phantom in London. Again, just my opinion, I'm not trying to bash Ramin because he truly is a phenomenal vocalist.

I am a big fan of John Owen Jones who I saw as Phantom last Jan, and of Ramin from the 25th Anniversary performance. However I really feel Ben is going to make the role of Erik as his own. He had only been doing the show for 4 weeks or so when I saw him and he had already found a fabulous way to play the role. Amazing power, mystery, madness and love. Simply perfect. Bravo Ben, see you again ASAP!

I feel like I do this waaay too much on youtube but anything related to musical theater, theater people, or Phantom stuff, if there's something I wanna say I say it. (it's such a great way to waste time on a lazy day.) So with that in mind, I'm gonna rant here a minute. The first thing that came out of mouth after watching this, truthfully, was a full heartfelt 'holy shit.' Like I'm not even kidding, and it takes a lot for me to say that about a performer but yea, that just happened. Now Ben Lewis, what good things are there not to say about this man? First of all, can we just talk about his voice? Seriously I am just sitting all alone at home in my room just crying and heavily breathing after listening to him sing this song. He has such a deep raw tone and then as the song builds his voice builds and explodes into this strong hearty belt that just brought me to goosebumps and tears. I have never heard a voice so haunting and hollow but it brings so much. You can feel the pain of the Phantom like I didn't even need to have my eyes open listening to this because you can just feel it in his voice, he's acting through the song and it's so natural. Second, for the moments that I did open my eyes I love how he was moving with the music and just going along with it, like it was taking him over and just really letting all the emotion seep through his veins. And he wasn't even on the stage doing the show this was just him singing, who knows where. I did see him in LND on the DVD and in that and this video his presence and authority and just himself, all of him just shines. Thirdly, God is he handsome or what?? Such an attractive man with an attractice voice, and he seems like such a sweet down to earth guy. I love people like that and when they are performers like he is it especially is waaaay more appealing to me. (all the guy's I obsess over are stage performers, not gonna lie.) But Ben, he is like my little light. ♥_♥ Honestly, Ben just deserves so much more attention than he gets. The London cast of LND gets so much attention (and believe me, I can see why. And Dear Lord Ramin I have been in love with him since like 7th grade), but seriously, the Aussie's really dominated this show, and Ben was the best sequel Phantom. In general he's just one the greatest peformers to have the pleasure to watch and to listen to. He's one of the most underrated, handsome, taleneted, performers in like the whole wide world and I just love him to death. He inspires me so much. One day he (and really also Anna O'Brian since I moved to the whole topic of LND) well, the two of them better get to be in new stuff and get really popular and both win Tonys. Okay... rant over.

Maybe you'll love Matt Cammelle as well. His voice is darker than Ben, but with the same intensity, deep and booming. There's full show of him as the Phantom here.

When he's on stage, he owns the stage. Everything about him is big. Big voice, big acting, big performance, big features.

I attended the LND production with my girlfriend, and managed the perfect seats in the house: front row, centred. I don't say this sparingly, but Ben's projection was phenomenal live just as his colleague Anna. But the real reason I love it is because his performance catalysed so many memories of despair and anguish due to separation in my own past. Thank Mr Lewis, you are truly an amazing performer.

I was thinking about Ben Lewis a couple of days ago when i read about the upcoming cast change in London wich apparently will include a new Phantom too. I belive he has been working in UK since last year so he might be a candidate. He would rock the original production too :)
