Inside THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA's 25th Anniversary After Party

Phantom of the Opera: 25th Anniversary Box Set amzn.to/Usp2mW

[@TheAnnstien]

Ramin is the best Phantom Sierra is the best Christine and also HADLEY is the best Raoul in my heart....

[@robbiequinn2183]

Yes!

[@tyunsworld]

Too true

[@xxjackxx1150]

Someone answer me! Was there two 25th anniversarys?!?! Because there was one of ramin, and for some reason one of Hugh Panaro...

[@RussellB22]

Jackeline Flores Ramin was the Phantom for London’s 25th anniversary. Phantom opened in London before it did on Broadway. This video is phantom being celebrated for 25 years on /broadway/ and Hugh was the phantom in New York during this time.

[@shaunalarsom4746]

AlwAys!

[@AmyNikitaMusicMusicalsMovies]

Hadley is the best Raoul, and Ramin is the Phantom, and Sierra IS Christine.

[@johnnymu8198]

Originals are still the best.... Crawford and Sara...

[@roryleech1119]

I love how when Hugh is talking "The one thing that kept me steady was my leading lady, Sierra" (Seirra Walks on camera) " I had three other amazing Phantoms with me on stage" (Ramin walks on Camera)

[@ameliat1238]

- Noticeably louder applause for Ramin - Same.

[@cheuini]

Ramin: "My time as the Phantom is over." Me: NO! NO RAMIN!!! DON'T SAY THAT!!! D':

[@shayvogler]

Is it me or did Ramin get a lot more applause when he sang?

[@ShaniaGonzales]

I also thought about that.. probably because he and sierra share an amazing chemistry on stage

[@shayvogler]

Very true

[@ari_mz]

he did

[@lorikodama8212]

He definitely did. I felt a little bad for the others.

[@eljordinio7647]

He's like the best phantom there is. Nothin' will ever match the chemistry between Ramin and Sierra

[@M_eduardaa18]

RAMIN NEEDS TO BE PHANTOM AGAIN

[@janehoe_]

YES!!!!!!

[@isobelduncan]

He was briefly for Prince of Broadway

[@neleviktoria8609]

He took over the phantoms instagram and said in a story that he would do it again. It's saved in the highlights.

[@user-zz8of6nc4g]

In Italy

[@pietrabueno6434]

well, he is back

[@valeriamilagros4876]

The best phantom Ramin Karimloo, his voice is wonderful :D *-*

[@hannahcruz1440]

Valeria Milagros you are CORRECT Miss!

[@phoebechic]

Everyone of them played the Phantom so amazingly but Ramin Karimloo was born to be the PHANTOM !

[@arlynenabore1939]

Forever Ramin and Sierra

[@cheollee8563]

Yaaaas! 🙌

[@amytang6915]

I love how you can tell Sierra is in the best mood ever

[@pameladenicolo3300]

Ramin YOU CAN'T SAY your career as the phantom is over YOU JUST CAN'T xD damn I sooooo want to see him again playing the Phantom even if for just one night :D he embodies it in such a PERFECT way he's THE BEST PHANTOM for me ♥♥

[@isobelduncan]

He briefly reprised the role for Prince of Broadway, but he's tired of it because he's played so many times.

[@amyclarke41]

Heidi Lam hugh was quite good 60th anniversary usa and uk join together and can scott Davis be phantom in london hugh in usa excellent phantoms ! sierra boggess usa emmi christen uk my cast obviously people in it now !☺

[@alexfrancis630]

Maxime Slieker The anniversary show with Ramin and Sierra was the West End anniversary. This one, with Hugh Panaro and Sierra, was the Broadway 25th anniversary.

[@maximeslieker4644]

ooh thanks! that makes sense

[@SamSandovals]

Ramin and Sierra just have the best chemistry.

[@linerosedaneydemarcillac6031]

Ramin Karimloo & Sierra are the best voices I’ve ever heard !

[@pameladenicolo3300]

everybody screaming when Ramin started singing...I STARTED SCREAMING IN MY BEDROOM XD

[@creaturegrace]

watching hugh in the background during sierra's interview had to be the funniest thing ever

[@ravenhumphries2993]

And cue the Phangirls at 14:08

[@keelieak]

16:45 ish...suuuurre, Hugh. ;) He says this in a lot of interviews, but it's so hard to believe, since he plays the seductive, in-control Phantom better than any actor I have ever, ever seen. I think he likes to be humble and say that part doesn't come very easy to him, but anyone with eyes can see he's got it down pat.:) (shows off his acting skills)Sierra's reaction to Hugh showing up behind her at 19:59 is so cute. And then, as a Hugh fan, with Hugh Goggles I can't help but let him steal the show -he's all I see, and through to the end of the video, his antics behind her, not really realizing he's in the shot, CRACK me up! So adorable and funny.

[@karelferil1436]

*Sigh* I'm just glad that I got to watch the Ramin and Sierra era of PTO. They're my favorite match of Phantom and Christine.

[@haidhinaqi]

19:58 had me dying. She's so adorable.

[@AnskuuBanskuu]

I'm so very thankful that they filmed the West End 25th because Ramin and Sierra are the best phantom and Christine in my opinion (especially when they're together).

[@elizabethlehmansellers765]

I wish Ramin would be the Phantom again. I don't know if anyone can play it better than him...

[@leahsimmons3107]

I love Sierra and She has A geogeous name I love her and her name soooo much

[@PhantomifyEponine]

Ooh Dodie Pettit! She was an amazing Christine. And Kevin Gray was also an amazing Phantom... RIP. At least he got to see the 25th Anniversary before he died.

[@breyercrazygleek]

Sierra is just so adorable and bubbly! How can you not love her?

[@queenQueso1]

I love Sierra Boggess sooooo much

[@Marylmac]

I honestly think she is very pretty, but coming from a farm, every time she opens her mouth to sing, it looks like the scoop bucket on my son's excavator! Sorry, my opinion. She is a lovely girl though.

[@lulu400100]

Ramin did the 25th anniversary for the west end, this one is 25th year the show reached Broadway, I think it was 26 and a half year since the original in 1986

[@gec1gk817]

Thanks for explaining 😊

[@jaythomsenn]

Ramin is the only phantom I love

[@jonedge2283]

Ramin will always be The Phantom.

[@Inthemoodfor2046]

Ramin nailed it. Again.

[@bettywyatt]

0:09 I thought the Les Mis 25th was a year before the Phantom Les Mis was made in 1985 and Phantom was in 1986 It was also pretty cool that Ramin was in both of them

[@ivalicetifalucis]

I think this one is in Broadway which would then be correct because Phantom is the first one that reach 25th anniversary. Les Mis didn't play as long on Broadway.

[@bettywyatt]

@@ivalicetifalucis true but I think it was just how long the musical has been out, Les Mis- 1985 Phantom- 1986

[@ivalicetifalucis]

@@bettywyatt but that was in West End. Les Mis played in Broadway from 1987 to 2003 and Phantom from 1988 to 2023. Les Mis never reached its 25th year on Broadway. This is the 25th celebration for the Broadway production, not the West End production. The West End 25th celebration is the Royal Albert Hall performance in 2011, starring Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess, which is the one we all know because it is published on DVD and have snippets of this around youtube. The Broadway 25th celebration is this one held in 2013 in Majestic Theatre, starring Hugh Panaro and Sierra Boggess, there is no recorded performance of this publicly available.

[@jordynann189]

hugh at 20:59 is the purest thing in life

[@dabbybaldemor6126]

I love the one whit Hadley Fraser Sierra Bogges and Ramin Karimloo.oh and if u go to put locker and type Phantom of.... then click the one whit just a mask

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

honestly Ramin talks and looks at Sierra like a proud dad/big brother

[@spiiiicymayo]

Ramin was in the one at the Royal Albert Hall--there's more than one:)

[@RoseDawson244]

Oh Ramin I can't explain how much do I love you

[@seleaphotography]

Peter Jöback always gets less applause than the others. Can't help but feel a bit sorry for him. Ramin tho!! He certainly deserves all that cheer, mnmhm!

[@kenwilliams9539]

Peter is the weakest of the Phantoms on stage..so ..makes sense

[@boblee5777]

I Thoroughly enjoyed the 25th anniversary performance of Phamton and subsequent performance of Love Never Dies. I have seen Phamton 6 times including the original on Broadway. I must concur with the comment below stating that Sierra was the best Christine, and Ramin best Phamton. It gave me a welcome uplift while I was home bound to avoid COVID 19. So much so that I had to call my cousins, Steph and Ben Kline to tell them. (My cousins know Sierra from the New York City music business}

[@uget1shot]

"Oh, theres a Phantom right there!" funny!!@19:56

[@turtletrade]

How I know Ramin is the best Phantom. His is the only rendition of Music of The Night that gets me teary.

[@xsarabearx1]

i was at her opening night! it was so amazing! tho the theatre was smaller than i expected which was good because we were really close to the stage and i got to meet her and talk to her! great night and great show!

[@KatieT97]

20:03 Sierra I love you but for some reason I can't keep my eyes off Hugh😂 I love Hugh😍

[@pietrabueno6434]

rebeca luker always stunning, rest in piece legend❤

[@lilsisasu]

I think he got the biggest response of everyone, including Hugh.

[@16DarkLady16]

Gosh, I said the same words when I`ve heard that))) Ramin is the best, he have to be The Phantom, and he always will be!!!! I hope, he will play this role for many years... ♥

[@leona6280]

I'm guessing that this is Broadway, and the Ramin and Hadley one was West End? I'm confused it doesn't look like the one at RAH. AND NO RAMIN YOU HAVE TO BE ERIK FOREVERRRRRRRR no I'm kidding but YOU CAN'T JUST BE DONE WITH IT??? *cries*

[@isobelduncan]

An actor can't play the same role forever, it get tiring and besides there are other actors to go around.

[@Annesglitter]

It’s their choice. A show like is very draining, physically and emotionally. So Royal Albert all was 3 performances, Ramin said he would step back into the role, just not now. When the local high school did it, my friends who played raoul, Christine, and Erik were so tired, they couldn’t come to class, the person who played Christine’s sister told me, she said they were so tired and drained, and they had to study, so the teacher gave them a pass thank goodness! But, it’s tiring doing this 8 times a week (6 for Christine’s, they need to rest their voices so the understudies step in)

[@hyukas_favourite_plushie6037]

@@Annesglitter Christine has a sister? Or do you mean Meg Giry?

[@amandasax1]

no one will ever forget this magical night

[@yy010173]

Thank you for posting. Love it!

[@NoodlePhantomLesMis]

RAMIN COME BACK AND PLAY THE PHANTOM WITH SIERRA!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!

[@hannahsolayao9467]

I LOVE RAMIN AND SIERRA

[@angthebandgeek]

haha i couldnt help but laugh when hugh was in the background during sierras interview. he is just too adorable! SO glad i saw him perform this year! i WILL go see him again when he returns!

[@Ginn87]

I loved watching Hugh in the background during Sierra's bit he was so cute!

[@munkeybutt]

I LOVE YOU RAMIN!!!! your phantom was definitely one of, if not THE, sexiest, most seductive and mysterious!

[@livinginrocknroll]

I love Hugh and Ramin. And Sierra of course. They're all so beautiful and funny and talented. And it's so nice for all of these past phantoms and Christines to show up. And the footage of music of the night and wishing you were somehow here again is beautiful, i've never seen it..hmm...

[@user-to1eo7vn8p]

I love the phantom of the opera from Japan 🥀

[@MissEmilyFleur]

Hugh and Ramin are my absolute favourites.

[@samirsedky3324]

Mine as well

[@nocturne2029]

I highly doubt that this show will stop running before it hits 50 years

[@MrNoUsername]

21:29 Definitely a phantom...

[@isaa6287]

Exactly

[@0rchid71]

Of course this gets recommended to me 7 years later

[@morganhoward2017]

Hugh is phenomenal, absolutely the best.

[@uget1shot]

i love you, Ramin!

[@rocknroll20024]

hugh i love him

[@hyukas_favourite_plushie6037]

RIP Rebecca Luker

[@MissingSirius]

Does Ramin tell everyone they inspired him to begin his career? XD He's said that about Colm Wilkinson too.

[@malachimizori305]

Colm was a legit inspiration, so much so, that he followed his career after talking to him and started up a band much like Colm had in his earlier days. You can always have more than one inspiration.

[@MissingSirius]

I know. I was only joking.

[@melindacarruthers6849]

Ramin as phantom again!

[@rebeccali1041]

he was the phantom in London. Hugh Panaro was the phantom in New York.

[@nikkibestpet]

Sierra is the best. Always count on her to make you happy. :-)

[@kamwrites]

That thought crossed my mind as well. I think more than likely he wasn't expecting an interview at that moment, he wasn't focused at all. But I'm sure the drinks were going around. ;)

[@amercovich]

Hugh during 20:58 I'm dying HAHAHAHA

[@potternutmania]

haha everyone screamed when it was Ramin's turn to sing @ 14:07

[@Sara1996ist]

Ramin *O* Ahah, I love him and Sierra ^^

[@soubrette87]

Is this coming to DVD like the West End 25th? PLEASE SAY YES!

[@Annesglitter]

Okay, just knowing I live an hour or so away from where Ramin went to high school CanadiansS!

[@heyheymister]

YES PLEEEEEASE!!!!!! DX

[@malachimizori305]

So there is this... but than there is also the 25th anniversary dvd one which had Ramin as Phantom right? So which one is the real anniversary performance? Is it a West End/Broadway thing?

[@alexandraeastwood2273]

The dvd with Ramin is the West End 25th anniversary (opened 1986) and this is the Broadway 25th anniversary (opened 1988)

[@mskary3489]

*BEST PHANTOM!!!!

[@blazestorm27]

Does anyone know if they filmed this like the 2011 25th and will put it on dvd? Cuz if not I will kindof die inside since I just went to NY and forgot it was the 25th (shame)

[@Piperfamily6]

KEVIN GRAY

[@1S1NGG8]

They filmed the 25th anniversary with Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimaloo at Royal Albert Hall. But I don't think they filmed the NYC version with Broadway :(

[@maximeslieker4644]

Can someone explain to me why there are 2 different 25th anniversaries? (the other one with Ramin as Phantom) and why did they make 2?

[@minsunkang7264]

Maxime Slieker The recording with ramin and sierra (the incredible one) was the london 25th anniversary, and this is the broadway 25th anniversary

[@valenb26]

My english teacher played christine in some production of this and she actually looks dead on like sierra in the show. Her hair is naturally that color and curly tho haha

[@TheBeautifulDisaster]

10:53

[@emepham]

+Shanae Waring les mis is not on broadway...surprisingly but it's only in the west end :) les mis is the oldest west end musical but phantom is the oldest broadway musical

[@isobelduncan]

They had their revival recently with Ramin in the lead as Jean Valjean

[@matildemarreiros8466]

Hugh panaro at the end ahahaha

[@sydney955]

❤

[@nealhurwitz]

fab

[@chatbud]

Is this not the Royal Albert Hall spectacular? I wonder if Hugh Panaro had work done cos he does not look his age.

[@indie267]

Ramin is Erik

[@amytang6915]

They showed a clip of Christine as a bride in the mirror --- but thats not in the show

[@Barbiegirlmomma]

I’m confused I thought Ramin played the phantom at 25 year celebration?

[@heknowswherefranceis4838]

He was the phantom for the West End (the UK), this is the 25 year anniversary for the Broadway production. I think the West End was made 2 years before Broadway? I'd look it up to be sure lol.

[@mskary3489]

i havent seen him and im sure he is for what i've heard but for me not disrespect ramin is amazing as phantom..:)

[@rocknroll20024]

rip

[@blazestorm27]

NOOOOOOOO I have died a bit inside :..(

[@sandrap2204]

RAMIN IS THE BEST!

[@Ell-ls4rz]

Ramin sounds so Canadian

[@isobelduncan]

He *is* Canadian - Well, Iranian-Canadian to be more precise.

[@amyclarke41]

Got to say since 1986 there has been excellent phantoms and only three christines I liked

[@amyclarke41]

Michael crawford is 1 2 is hugh 3 is ramin karimloo 4 joj 5 norm lewis

[@amyclarke41]

5 phantoms mc 1 ramin 2 hugh p 3 joj 4 norm lewis 5 and sierra and sarah and Rebecca as the christines hadley Fraser as raoul

[@LeRuffable]

Hadley? ;n;

[@hannahsolayao9467]

lmao same! I don't want rierra go

[@JaredGoerke]

I personally think hugh was best the way he portrayed it but you have the right to your opinion.
