PHANTOM OF THE OPERA - Peter Jöback & Samantha Hill

[@jaysalvoro9834]

Got invited to watch the 30th Anniversary of Phantom and wow has Peter Jöback gotten better as Phantom. He is very reminiscent of Michael Crawford with the softness of Hugh Panaro and the vulnerability of Ramin Karimloo. Amazing amazing Phantom.

[@Pannkakaize]

please where can i find video or sound of this?

[@cnoelad83]

I like him, reminds me of Micheal Crawford and Hugh Panero. He looks really great as the Phantom too.

[@keelieak]

Totally agree-Michael and Hugh-the two best Phantoms. Peter's tenor voice and elegant look Is reminiscent of them.

[@elenajohnson6336]

I wish someone had a full recording of this duo. Samantha Hill is such an underrated Christine!

[@JPMurdock11]

I don't care what people say. I love Peter's voice. It's very Crawford esque but he still makes it his own

[@FacetiousFellow]

I agree with you. I personally love his nasally accent. It makes his Erik feel more genuine. Gotta love the guy. Great acting and voice work.

[@TheMsiaddict]

My favourite is Matt Cammelle. His voice is floating. Especially in Music of The Night.

[@ESS-ot8ye]

i love his voice too i went to i love musicals in 7th july in tokyo. he was absolutely amazing the combination of peter, ramin and sierra was perfect

[@TheMsiaddict]

FacetiousFellow What do you mean more genuine?

[@JonathanFleites123]

The first phantom I ever heard that actually helped me understand the gorgeous words! Amazing! Love Peter Joback

[@iimochiii3602]

Ok wow Samantha Hill and Peter Joback are a truly phenomenal Phantom and Christine pair in my opinion! I adore both of them individually as these characters but also the chemistry between the two of them and the way that their portrayal of their individual characters work amazingly well together. Their voices sound amazing together as well! I was getting serious Michael Crawford vibes from Peter's phantom. But he still made it his own. And I thought that Samantha played Christine perfectly. This was great to watch!

[@popaulausays6406]

Peter has always said that his "version" of his phantom is not that macho "ghostly scary" vibe (especially since he is gay it doesn't really work x3) he instead does this "abused child" kinda vibe wich I like alot more than other Phantoms

[@beybladekatie]

I actually really like his voice??? Like it gives a vintage-older sorta vibe. He doesn’t sound old but it sounds like something on a record

[@broadwayandedits6778]

omg same i saw him like a month ago and he had an outstanding performance. yes he doesn't have a lower register but he still pulls it off

[@Grace-ig5ne]

Peter Joback is my favourite phantom, mostly because I saw him and Samantha in Phantom a few years ago in New York. His voice creates the sense of madness the phantom has due to the higher pitch. His characterization is absolutely amazing, he moved me to tears with his portrayal of the phantom. It was truly beautiful ❤️

[@keelieak]

Yes about the "sense of madness!" His first words are sung with such intensity, I'd be shaking if I were Christine! Haha I think a higher-pitched Phantom, is somehow so much more intimidating than a deeper one. It's so much more cutting, and "I'm superior to you" sounding. I remember hearing Michael (who Peter sounds get similiar to) deliver those words for the first time as a little girl, and how it gave me goosebumps and nervous butterflies in my stomach.

[@naritoes]

I agree with both statements.

[@cagedfishball9645]

Agreed. and actually, phantom shouldn’t have a deep voice according to his living habit. Including improper diet and lacks of vitamin E (sunlight). It makes him unhealthy and the high-pitch makes sense here 👍🏻

[@MrSvante88]

Would love to get the opportunity to see Peter as the Phantom. Saw it live in London once and it was great but this sounds and looks much much better.

[@jenflorzinha]

I love Peter's phantom! I don't care what people say. He is fantastic!

[@chelles4763]

After watching this performance, I feel terrible that the applause Peter received at the 25th Ann performances at Broadway and West End were so dismal. He is an absolutely brilliant POTO who sings in such a wide range of raw emotions. Also, he brought his own flair to the character like crawling for example which I don't think I have seen the other POTO do. Also, his enunciation is the best amongst all the POTO I have heard because we can hear every single word he is singing. And at the end of this video clip, he says "Oh Christine" and we could feel his heartbreak, heartache and yearning for Christine. A BIG WOW! Bravassimo!!

[@saoirsekennedy4661]

AMAZING Peter is just brilliant at phantom

[@johnmoss1444]

Peter jobacks voice actually sounds a lot like Michael Crawford. I like that this guy is sounding like the original

[@MrSvante88]

I must say this is one of the best versions of this I've ever heard. It's perfect almost, like Peter has it all, the power, the softness, the craziness and the vulnerability. Was probably holding my breath through a third of all this or so lol

[@leiaisms]

I don't like Peter's interpretation, I LOVE IT

[@keelieak]

Came here to watch Peter's classic portrayal, but got sidetracked by Jeremy Stolle. He just makes me smile. He radiates kindness as Raoul.:)

[@yiannisDermanoutsos]

I watched Peter Joback in London in April 2012 as the Phantom and being a Phan for far too long I can tell that his voice is extraordinarily close and reminiscent of the original recording voice of Mr Michael Crawford . Actually, not having seen the musical until then as I closed my eyes I thought I was listening to my CD of the OLC back in my room. His voice is suitable for the Phantom and he deserves more credit than he has gotten. Wish I could see him again for the 30th Phanniversary in NYC.

[@ariffinyuya]

That “Let your soul take you where you long to be” was magical😍. It’s controlled beautifully omg

[@keelieak]

Love these two. She is such a sweet Christine, and I love the tone of his voice. Reminds me of Michael Crawford at times. I'm so thankful that this person recorded all the way through "come we must return" and shared it. "Stranger than you dreamt it" is one of my favorite scenes, and Peter is wonderful in it.

[@Pannkakaize]

Stranger than you dreamt it is my favo aswell, reminds me of myself of the phantom so much

[@Seussenshmirtz]

I see comments complaining about the hate but no actual hate...

[@4casdean]

Peter Joback is the best Phantom ever . I saw this a mothe ago .So powerful to watch

[@samanthablanco417]

I actually kind of dig that the Phantom has a Swedish accent. It's fitting in a way because in the novel Christine Daae is supposed to be from Sweden.

[@blackngoldcuttlefish3390]

Fun trivia fact.....you can find scans of a second handwritten draft or something like that online from Leroux (or at least you could a few years ago) ...and in the Epilogue it looks like he wrote that Erik originally was from the same (Swedish) city as Christine was...but then it was scratched out and replaced with the current stuff (born near Rouen). It almost seemed to suggest he had seen her there in Sweden before, in the era of going from fair to fair. But, again, it was scratched out. My guess is, it's possible Leroux realized "wait, the math/age difference doesn't work." But that could be why his name was originally Erik. And in the in the Gaulois (serialized version in 1909, before the novel edition)....when Christine asks if his name Erik means he is Scandinavian, Erik says "I have no name/country... and I chose that name of Erik to get closer to you." (Lol, creepy!) But then by the novel version, it got changed to the current phrase "and I picked up that name of Erik at random." Which fits more because it didn't seem like Erik had just recently chosen that name (since the Persian called him that). Anyway, I think all that comes from the fact that maybe way once upon a time Leroux had intended for Erik to be Swedish, too. Did not end up in the final draft of the story, of course! But all that just to say -- yeah I'm not mad at the Phantom having a Swedish accent either :P Oh and I swear all this is true, lol, I'm not a crazy "fanfiction replacing canon" type or anything at all

[@Luka1180]

Yes, but the Phantom is not. He is supposed to be from the Normandy, which is today French. He's French. Not Swedish. Or maybe it can be seen as him pretending to be the father, but I don't really buy it when people say he did that anyway. He only alluded to that with the lines "Wandering child" and "flattering child." Finally... I don't hear much of an accent here honestly. I think he did away with it pretty well. There is a tiny bit. But not a lot. Same for John Martin Bengtsson, a Swedish actor and singer who's the second Phantom in the current Danish production. You can hear he's not completely Danish, but it is hard to tell. It's been 10 years since our last of Phantom by the way... I hope it won't be as long till it's back again in my country-

[@AidenASMRzzz]

I love how when she faints he is all like "shit. she passed out. what am i supposed to do? should I carry her to the bed/boat? no, i think I'll leave her there. Maybe I'll just cover her with my cape... yes, I'll do that." I remember here in London he carried Sofia before she fell and tucked her in the boat. I know that they don't do that on Broadway for safety issues...

[@Psybur]

Jesus Christ, America! You've got a retarded gun law that's 37 times more likely to kill a loved one than an actual threat I'm sure you can take a chance and have an actor 'faint' into the arms of another actor and not have a 'Def-con Five' situation on your hands; man-up!

[@mischiefmaker1988]

Psybur They do it again now. Norm Lewis was the first one to carry Christine in his arms.

[@rickardnyberg4899]

Not the strongest Phantom voice BUT his stage portrayal of the role is among the best ever !

[@readwithnat]

+Rickard Nyberg i agree 100%. Of all the versions of the final lair that i've seen (and i've seen it a lot), Joback's makes my cry before anyone else's. Something about his characterization...

[@NadiaM.E]

I really love Peter Jöback as the Phantom. A few years ago I saw him as the Phantom in the Swedish version. I saw the musical three times in nine months but I could have seen it a hundred times. I wish that they still performed it here in Sweden.

No creí nunca ver aunque sean estos minutos de esta versión cantada por Peter Joback. Gracias pir compartirla!!! Emcionada

[@keighlysocha5364]

Finally! A Christine who looked down during MOTN- During the song the character (not the actor) supposedly is aroused and that is why she runs, so it’s nice to see those little details. Also peters voice fits it very well, and I adore Samantha’s voice. Gorgeous.

[@chelles4763]

wow really? had no idea!

[@OceanbornAngel]

Seriously, i want to see them cast Tom Hiddleston as Raoul in the Phantom of the Opera. He's a dancer and he sings too. Plus he also has a legion of fangirls. It's the only way to give a little bit more sympathy to poor Raoul!

[@AJKoehler]

[@kathodder4205]

My favorite Phantom was definitely Ramin Karimloo, but JESUS is Peter good. I also have to admit that Christine was very good in this. I definitely came here, and I’m not disappointed at ALL like wow. Perfect bond.

[@ameliepond1771]

Watching this is reminding me just how much I want to be back there again, in the audience, sucked into The Music of the Night with this wonderful cast.

[@AidenASMRzzz]

Saw Pete in 2012 on the West End and saw James this year on July on Broadway. They are both very different Phantoms, each special in their own way and both portray the character perfectly.

[@Psybur]

I like how he showcases the mannequin to her like he's a model on 'The Price is Right'. Then, when Christine faints and he stoops over her trying to figure out what to do, he wiggles his fingers, like, 'um. . . oh, wait! I know!' before covering her with his cape; it's SO cute! FYI, I like it better when the productions have him catch Christine and use his upper-body strength to carry her to the bed. . . boat-thing; it's more romantic and masculine, but the 'spirit fingers' wins out in this case and makes the 'floor fainting' acceptable.

[@blackngoldcuttlefish3390]

Yeah he's like "ohh shh*t" when he sees her fall haha

[@grace4742]

If he is the 30th anniversary Phantom then why is everyone bashing him

[@elenajohnson6336]

Just because someone is in an anniversary performance doesn’t make them perfect (and I actually like Peter’s performance). I really don’t like Sierra that much in the 25th and have a right to that view.

[@maggieaishalee3829]

@@elenajohnson6336 I believe tha are in an anniversary for something, Peter is my fav, and so as I love Ramin and Sierra as well, but in my opinion was too much giving Sierra almost every important anniversary (25th London, 25th Brodway, 30th in Paris) when thet have many girls that nailed the rol as much as her. Just like in the anniversary, 25th London was Ramin, 25th Brodway Hugh Panaro, 30th Brodway Peter, 30th London Ben and for Paris they should have picked french singers

His voice is a bit similar with Ramin's. But I like his singing more than Ramin's.

Oh, don't EVEN make such an assumption! This guy has NOTHING on Ramin! You practically have to be TONE-DEAF and musically ILLITERATE to think this dude is any good. His tone is annoying, and his annunciation is atrocious! Please tell me you're just joking.

[@Cindy10030603]

BlueBlazesWildcat well, believe it or not, I'm not joking. Peter's voice isn't perfect, but he isn't THAT bad as well. He is the one singing title song with other four actors on the 25th anniversary.

[@elizabetht3233]

@@BarrelsPolesandJack every person has a different opinion on who is the "best" phantom, but personally I dont think it comes down to "best" it's more of who is YOUR phantom. Each person will have their own Erik for their own reason and they will connect to him as their own. I personally am not a huge fan of Peter but that's because MY Erik is Ramin for MY own reasons, but I respect Peter as the phantom because someone has made that connection to him the same way others have to Ramin. It's not okay to insult and degrade someone because they dont fit your standard. Respect them the way you want yours to be respected.

[@SongRainbows]

+David Gregory Wow that is so interesting! Thank you for sharing! I've noticed as well that Sierra Bogges has sounded sharp on her end cadenza before and I've wondered how many times they have to record it. I found one performance she did at an awards show that supposedly has the high notes live. Why wouldn't it be live once they came out on the boat? And do they prerecord in a studio or with their stage mics?

[@Bermondseybob]

This would explain an incident back in April this year. I'd gone to see the show at Her Majesty's and the board outside said that Ben Forester was The Phantom that night. I'd heard mixed reviews of him, but my understanding was that his range is a little "lacking" in places. Forward to the mirror scene and The Phantom booms out and I think "he's actually really good" but during the boat part, I realized that The Phantom was actually Scott Davis, who I've seen before and is incredible. But, his voice didn't seem right. I think the sound people didn't realize they had a different Phantom until it was too late. Scott's voice was back to normal for "Music..."
