Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo take us behind the curtain of The Phantom of The Opera's 25th Anniversary performance at the Royal Albert Hall.
From Phantom of The Opera at the Royal Albert Hall (2011): In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, Cameron Mackintosh produced a unique, spectacular staging of the musical on a scale which had never been seen before. Inspired by the original staging by Hal Prince and Gillian Lynne, this lavish, fully-staged production set in the sumptuous Victorian splendour of London's legendary Royal Albert Hall features a cast and orchestra of over 200, plus some very special guest appearances.

Gosh, Ramin absolutely KILLED it as the Phantom. The way he portrays the Phantom; his love, his passion, his anger, his sadness, everything. Oh my God. No words just 🤯

First phantom I saw back in 2009 and a amazing actor and lovely man.

[@Waggers789]

@@adele2952 same, who was the first phantom you saw? There was something very special about his performance of the role, I hope one day he would return to phantom. His performance along with Gina and Simon were always interesting and different every time. Over the years I got to know him very well especially during LNDs days and I supported him in each role he did.

I love how Sierra says "This is once in a lifetime opportuniy", but she got to play Christine twice for the 25th Anniversry in both London and NY

[@amyw825]

I think she meant that she plays Christine for the dvd recording.

[@melissam597]

I like Sierra and all but they should have had a different Christine play one of those, there are so many brilliant portrayals of her out there and those deserve the spotlight too 🙂 maybe if they had Gina Beck for the London concert and have Sierra do the American one...

Agreed it’s totally amazing! Why did they only have two weeks to prepare? I genuinely don’t know the answer and google didn’t help.

[@melaniehochuli4728]

It's amazing how it all came together!! But I guess it had helped a lot that, if I'm not mistaken, everyone except Hadley (Raoul) already played their parts on Broadway or the Westend!

[@ajparadise6649]

@@brookeruskin I don't really know why either, but it might be because they could not get the space before then or something. I am just guessing though.

[@brianaustin5467]

@@brookeruskin They had plenty of time to plan, the problem lay in the availabilty of the RAH to set up everything and do full technical rehearsals. Apart from the enormous cost, the venue has many events throughout the year.

[@jenniferhiemstra5228]

@@brookeruskin I’m guessing it’s because the RAH is arguably the busiest venue in London so it was likely an availability issue. But everyone involved knew the show inside and out which likely why ALW hand picked just about everyone himself, so a mere two weeks probably wouldn’t phase them, but even if it did, I like to think that it’s why this production was so dynamic from top to bottom.

[@heatherorr4431]

Who doesn't love the sheer majesty of Masquerade, so cleverly choreographed??? The stage filled with a huge company (I know there are dummies too 😆). My favourite bit is the chandelier, almost blink and you miss it, if you are sitting in a certain place in the stalls it can be frightening but interesting to see and hear the reaction of people who aren't expecting it to whish over their heads!!! Love seeing clips like this, a glimpse of how they prepare, much appreciated. 🎭🎶👍
