I had the privilege of seeing Ramin and Colm perform together in Les Miserables, early 2014 in Toronto. Colm was the Bishop. It was an emotional night for everyone, especially knowing Ramin's backstory and the importance of playing Val Jean with Colm there. Ramin is such a class act, he talked about integrity in this interview but he has heaps of it himself! He's amazing.

Lol Ramin watching Phantom 26 times and then getting to be the youngest Phantom at the age of 26??? Hmm kinda weird isnt it? 😂😂 and also he starred on the 25th anniversary of the show!😂 Okay Ramin I see what you did there😂

[@MoulinSurvivor]

Asked on Katie's site about this video running only 7:18 - this episode should run about 12 min., and include LIVE "Bring Him Home" performance.

[@RuthieF]

Did you get a sensible reply?

[@MoulinSurvivor]

Ruth Faulkner NO RESPONSE - Comment on LesMisBdwy FB that the SONG would be coming soon - maybe contractual thing. Recorded on DVR, so I can play anytime. Checked timing - runs around 12: - the best 5: are missing - FAB INTRO (1:); Katie's thanking RK, and that he'd be back after break to sing; SONG (4:) - disappointing that this episode was ruined - something his fans could enjoy and really want to share - WHAT A RIPOFF!!!

[@RuthieF]

Nelia Green I hate it when they do that. Thanks for replying to me : he is fantastic isn't he

[@shirleyazzopardi2930]

Love Ramin! :)

[@mauke1983]

[@cjdesantis2131]

I went and saw Ramin in April waited at the stage door with his album I bought at the theatre just for him to sign. Turns out he snuck out the front. :/

[@emmaalonso-mestas3873]

oof

[@dancingnoona8034]

I LOVE YOU RAMIN! You made me LOVE broadway. I hope and PRAY I will have a husband as awesome as you. :)))))))

[@amyclarke41]

reminds of someone who dated my key worker but as the phantom in poto and lnd completely different from who he is , maybe a future dr who ?

[@Bethykinz]

Colm Wilkinson was the Original Val Jean, not the Phantom. That was Michael Crawford....

[@erickagilbert7310]

Colm Wilkinson was the Phantom in the Canadian production. Michael Crawford was in London and Broadway.

[@bigarroyo1]

Wilkinson was the original Phantom at Sydmonton, though Crawford originated the role in the West End. Wilkinson would have been the original Phantom in the West End as well but he turned it down to be Valjean.

[@dankhnw8]

Colm helped in the workshop of Phantom, I think.

[@misssparkles7520]

Actually colm was at sydmonton , but the original phantom was not going to be colm , but a singer called Steve harley, he had the part, but then AWL changed his mind and picked Crawford,
