It is sad that the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway is closing on April this year, but I will never stop listening to the songs of the soundtrack and watching the movie.

[@LeonorFiniCat]

There will be other Phantom productions, the stage direction and sets will just be different. Phantom itself isn't ending permanently.

[@ellenpcwang]

During the pandemic, they changed some things for the London production and reopened with changes. I believe that is what they are doing for the Broadway production.

[@dianavaldez3371]

I saw Phantom at the Majestic in February 2017. I had no idea it was closing this year. It was absolutely astounding.

The phantom's lair scene never fails to make me cry. Never. Ramin and Sierra are the best Phantom and Christine, period. What a production, and what a loss for Broadway 😢

christine's pain and heartbreak on her face while leaving her master..kissing his hand..and climbing to a healthier but perhaps emptier future..

[@JJ-lm4pg]

When you feel empathy for the antagonist "villian" character that's great writing and acting :)

[@sunflower-xi5ct]

Well he is definitely an antagonist but I will never consider the Phantom to be the ‘Villain’, SOCIETY itself is the Villain of this story. Society that would treat an innocent child like a monster for something he couldn’t control (his face) and in response he grows up feeling like he has to be what the world labeled him as from birth, what his own mother labeled him as from birth…because nobody sees him as anything else 😢 A classic case of ‘since I’m always going to be a monster in the worlds eyes, I might as well embrace it’. And hence why it took Christine showing him love for the first time that allowed him to genuinely show love to her in return…someone saw him as something more then a monster so he could BE something more then a monster. ❤ Society is the villain in this story, not the Phantom. Just my opinion.

[@sofiasereni]

The way he says “blindly” at 13:27 like a pray is pure poetry and always stoles my heart. The entire ending every time heartbreaking

[@LeonorFiniCat]

God, Ramin is incredible. I cry at the final lair every time 😭💔

ikr? I have watch the blue ray today and the end has made me cry. Its so touching how christine gives him love and he is just overwhelmed from it. He plays the role so amazing also the other actors too!

[@Anna-sf8cp]

I haven't watched this in so long. I had forgotten how moving the music is. Both Sierra Boggess and Karim Karimloo were perfectly cast in their roles.

[@KJensenStudio]

Thanks! I was wondering who these were.

[@lizmagu3189]

My favorite version of The Phantom. Ramin and Sierra are perfection.

[@axelhager4773]

Welll, yes, be than you want to take into consideration the Nightwish version with Floor Jansen and Henk Poort as well. However, Ramin might be the most appropriate artist for the phantom.

[@lizmagu3189]

@Axel Hager I have seen that version. Cool yes! But I prefer the Broadway version!

[@kathleencox6989]

I've seen every incarnation of The Phantom of the Opera since I was a teenager and I am just in love with the songs and story line. I love this production of it. Great cast. Great vocal talents from all three leads.

Ahh! Everytime I see a clip with Ramin and Sierra I have to watch it. Then I get all emotional , but it keeps suggesting it because I keep watching, so now I'm crying all the time . They are so perfect together 😭❤

[@rolo7110]

Ramin and Sierra put their heart and soul into their performances and they were brilliant! There’s always someone who says Hadley overacted. This whole play is so full of drama and strong emotions that for him to play it any less would have been a disservice to the play. I did read once that he said he said the eyeliner he wore was a whole other character! Truly one of the best plays and absolutely the best performances in the history of the theater! Did anyone hear Ramin whisper “I love you” as Hadley and Sierra went up the stairs?

[@gabbyweiss4693]

Every time I see Ramin Karimloo in this production, I am reminded of his immense natural talent. His acting and his voice - exceptional.

[@sosenkaad]

What is really sad is that she starts to sing towards the Phantom and not and and not Raul ( even looks back to him) and seems very heartbroken when giving the ring back making some of us wonder if perhaps her feelings towards Erik may have been love but the circumstances and his actions was what pushed her to Raul's arms. There is a nod from Eric when she looks at him without words as if she is asking if the choice she's making/what she is doing is right?

[@aspen4773]

THANK YOU IVE BEEN THINKING THIS BUT UNAVLE TO PUT IT INTO WORDS

[@siquewhat1]

By this production Love Never Dies was being produced so I think that this staging is giving a nod to the sequel in comparison to how it was originally staged.

[@NatashaGlotzbach]

Yes! I was saying to myself when Raoul starts singing back, “Dude, she’s not even talking to you” 😂

[@OverlordZephyros]

18:15 that tears me up every time. its a feeling all too familiar. and that last look... " go and be happy"

[@warriorqueen863]

Whoah! Now I understand Phantom of the Opera... Bravo! Beautiful performance! Absolutely stunning casts and singers! Melts my heart! The phantom finally realised what real love is... But he knew he couldn't have Christine because she's still alive and he belongs to the dead. He realised it's better to free her and now that he knew that Christine made him feel what love is, he woke up to his senses and freed his obsession and everything including Christine back to her lover. Not all villains are bad. Some are indeed craving for just a little bit of kindness and understanding because they must have been badly hurt before and never received true love from those people. It only takes a small light of hope, love and kindness to brighten the dark - or the darkness in one's soul. 🌻🌷🌸🌷🌻

[@TheRich4187]

Got to admit, that was a great rendition of the end sequence. I hade the privilege of seeing the original Canadian cast in the Pantages theater in Toronto in high school on my senior trip and it is hands down the best show I've ever seen. Then I got to see the American tour in Kalamazoo, MI back in 2007 I think with my wife. Once again, very good. I have to say this cast of leads would have been amazing to see live! I will truly miss Phantom. The one show I was never able to take my 2 daughters to see, and it is without a doubt a favorite of theirs. Owned the soundtracks of the Movie, the OG London and Canadian (CD bought when I saw it...very old and still kicking to this day) that they heard hundreds of times.

[@tracypriest4386]

Ramin is amazing &such a voice. Hadley is just handsome & great voice. I also love to watch Gerard Buttler as the phantom plays it well ❤

[@MrNorcal81]

I agree with you in regard to Gerard Butler. He clearly is not a great singer but he had a decent "stage" voice and his acting chops made his Phantom more of a passionate and sympathetic character than many other portrayals. Add to that Joel Schumacher's excellent and imaginative direction, Emmy Rossum's Christine and the movie version, taken on its own terms, is quite good. I've seen Phantom in San Francisco and the shorter version that Hal Prince restructured for the Las Vegas run and loved both of them (with Frank D'ambrosio in SF and Anthony Crivello in Vegas). This 25th Anniversary version can stand with both of them. The staging is superb and, of course, Ramin and Sierra are as good as it gets. I have the Blu-ray's of this performance and the movie version and never tire of watching them.

[@Slit518]

I had just listened to this whole thing while doing dishes and prepping dinner. It brings back memories of going to watch this for the first time with my grandmother when I was 8 at Broadway. And later going to see it in London with my wife at the Queen's Palace Theater. I was in absolute tears during the Phantom's performance here. All of the good memories flooded back. I used to sing the songs in the shower while growing up. I even said to myself I would play the part of the Phantom for free if budget cuts were a huge reason why they were stopping the production. This performance was the first time this play ever made me cry. Bravo/brava!

Amazing work beautiful and sad love wAtching it over and over again I ❤

[@sofiasereni]

I feel when at 9:13 he says “a mask, my first” is not only referred to his real first mask but also to the fact that in his life he has to wear so many mask not only in the literal meaning but also the mask he has to wear in his feelings. To emphasise this there is, after “my first”, a long pause that for me give this sense to the entire sentence. Am I alone to think that?

[@fluffyfeather39]

that was the takeaway i got from that too. sometimes all people know is to wear masks , like a self preservation thing, which of course is just a part of life. i think this story really does a good job of sharing and embracing the complex and tragic side of life

[@sunflower-xi5ct]

It’s the whole idea that’s he’s had to hide himself since birth practically since nobody, not even his own Mother, would accept him otherwise. That he could only be accepted so long as he hid himself. Hence why he felt he had to deceive Christine with the ‘Angel of Music’ ruse in order to get close to her, because like everybody else in his life he feared she’d reject him if he approached her for real…it’s heartbreaking 😢 That’s why what Christine does here when she kisses him shakes the very foundation of his worldview about himself…the idea that someone could see past his face floors him, and in a weird way she gave him permission to be a Man and not a Monster ❤ whereas the World had only ever allowed him to be a Monster.

[@invictusOne]

I had the opportunity to experience the Phantom many years ago, and I'm saddened is no longer in production. It is a great loss to all!

What they did woth the live mirroring of the audience is ingenious First time i saw it i never fell of my chair & it was a spectacular result. After all of these years it has retired from Broadway. It will be back bigger & better. Phantom & Les Miserables are my 2 favourites musiclas. There are a big bunch of other brilliant, superb musicals but these 2 are a clear class above everybody else. I toss Love Never Dies as well. I was Love Never in Melbourne & i watched Andrew Lloyd Webber say on TV that Melbournes version of Love Never Dies was the best in the world. He also stated that Sierra Bogess was the best of all time Christine in Phantom. It surprised me at the time but after watching more of her singing i totally agree.
