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

Behind the scenes of the 25th Anniversary spectacular. Featuring: Ramin Karimloo, Sierra Boggess, Hadley Fraser, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Cameron Mackintosh

[@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

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

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

Oh we love Hadley we love him so much

The best kind of comments 😍

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

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

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.

[@annikawassilak3674]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@reno6946]

Opera, not Oprah.

[@KatieT97]

Oprah is as in Oprah Winfrey

[@conho4898]

Anna Faux Phantom of Oprah omg lol

ah, I love that random pigeon

[@elizabethbennett111]

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

[@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

[@PhantoMace2012]

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

[@PeterPanDisneyDork]

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

[@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.

[@auuggghhh]

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

[@almfr]

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

[@tsheringla9419]

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

[@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!

[@margiemasih982]

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

[@firelily15]

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

[@ashleyartus8430]

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

[@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.

[@DragonRebelRose]

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

[@juliagramling6997]

Amazing...absolutely amazing!!!

[@suemount6042]

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

[@vale111vs]

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

[@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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Jackogirl424]

Seeing the actors out of character backstage feels awkward, but they look like they're having a

[@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.

[@skypen99]

"We are in a middle of the show." Wow Rimin, so funny. Wish I could be part of the Phantom production.

[@clarinetangel99]

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

[@cosmicash7]

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

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.

[@paulzrulz]

ommg Colm Wilkinson!!!

[@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.

[@WonderstruckFleur]

yes she was in this :)

[@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

[@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.

[@Wilko96cp]

oh gareth snook, you and your glasses xD
