The Phantom Of The Opera - Title Song - James barbour & Kaley Ann Vorhees

[@LOVxxE]

He is INCREDIBLE. What a soothingly, deep and mysterious sexy voice. Sounds just how the Phantom should - a voice that truly can lure Christine. And Kaley is perfection as usual!

[@VforValmont]

He's AMAZING. I watched him two weeks ago and he nails every beat. Then the final ten minutes come and he blows everyone's mind.

[@baphometstatues]

@@VforValmont he nails kids as well

[@iloveorangecats09]

@@baphometstatuesthis is a very late reply but THANK YOU.

[@Athespian128]

I saw James as the Phantom. Fantastic, soothing, sexy voice. It cuts through the air like a breeze of wind.

[@theadae2494]

He has the perfect voice for the phantom

[@andrewdominick2972]

James Barbour is one of the best phantoms I heard, hes behind Peter Joback, Earl Carpenter and Colm Wilkinson. Can't wait seeing him with the school band in New York in May.

[@Rohrbach00]

@Andrew Dominick He certainly is, and I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to see the musical a few times while he was Phantom and he impressed me every time. Believe it or not, he’s also one of my Dad’s friends from High School not to mention that I’ve actually met him personally as a result and in the process we got a backstage tour which is something you can only do if you know someone in the cast of a particular broadway musical to my knowledge.

[@PunkRockPixie]

I saw James Barbour in NYC a few weeks ago during a tour choir trip. His voice is amazing.

[@andresbarragan4915]

Definitely one of the best phantoms i've ever heard. Can't wait to see him in July!!!

[@razorflame45]

I just saw this with him last night, and he blew me away, his voice was so amazing.

[@Rohrbach00]

My Dad went to high school with James Barbour many many years ago not to mention that they both became friends in that process. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this musical while James was the Phantom and he blew me away every time. I never would have guessed that my Dad would go to high school and become friends with someone who would go on to be famous and become the star of a broadway musical for that matter

[@Lilyyyyy_z]

the first and best phantom I have ever seen //▽//wanna go Broadway again TUT

[@TheRealityfades]

Zhou Liyi My first Phantom was Marcus Lovett way back in the 90s on Broadway.

[@PhntmShdw98]

My first live Phantom was Norm Lewis

[@rlebovits]

My first Phantom was Michael Crawford. Also seen: Howard McGillin several times, John Cudia, Hugh Panaro several times, Jeremy Stolle, James Romick, and Norm Lewis. Haven't yet seen James Barbour, but I believe the role of Erik should be a tenor.

[@audreyjbancroft6613]

My first live phantom. What a booming voice he has! The man doesn't need microphone. Loved him!

[@FruitlessCRUNK]

Just saw these two, literally the best singing I've heard in my life. A must see and you have to see it at the Majestic Theater in NYC.

[@acrescool]

+FruitlessCRUNK Ditto. Saw the musical a few days ago. James has a super sexy voice! :D

[@keelieak]

Nobody compares to Hugh Panaro, IMO, but I have to admit, he sounds really good. Kaley sounds exactly as Christine should-youthful, and clear-as-a-bell.

[@ashareeoo]

Holy SHIT he is so good. YESSSS!

[@OldVKei]

He was amazing when I saw the show

[@meslongscheveux8460]

I know. The show has been running for so long that it's really time to make a new cast recording.

[@MilanPofCrotoonia]

I saw this as part of a NY Trip with my school this past Memorial Day weekend, and now I regret not seeing this play before because holy fuck was this awesome!

[@cooljul1]

Lucky

[@MusicalGirl4983]

OMG he sounds just amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!!!! I saw Kaley in October, so I know she is the best Christine ever!! :D

[@monkEE071005]

I LOVE James Barbour's voice. In this particular performance, he phoned it in. Compare his work with Gary Mauer, who is a tenor, as the Phantom. There is no comparison with the emotional inflection. Everyone has their favorite "Erik". I had high hopes for Mr. Barbour as the Phantom as he's a baritone. Perhaps another recording on a different day. Sad really. He has a wonderful baritone voice and I so loved him in "Tales of Two Cities."

[@hugh0221]

There's got to be the official album of this cast - it's got to be made! At least James Barbour as the Phantom shouldn't be changed.

[@CD-tj3hg]

About a year or so ago, I saw Phantom of the Opera in NY with Norm Lewis and Sierra Bogess as the Phantom and Christine. I had heard seldom recordings of James Barbour, but have heard nice reports about his performance. I watched this and though, "I want to see this again." Even though I actually am excited to be seeing it this summer on tour, I would love to see this in NY again. Barbour is fantastic.

[@Ruthite]

Just saw phantom today for the last time before they close in April....had to return to my first and favorite phantom to travel back in time

[@Giffometry]

omg I am so excited I'm seeing them in October!! :D

[@gabriella6713]

Maybe James but Kaley is leaving the 30th of this month for Japan

[@phantomfan6712]

james and norm the best phantom on Broadway,no one else comes close

[@keelieak]

ExceptHughPanaro. ;D

[@cailynmann4913]

RAMIN

[@ryans6557]

Cailyn Mann Ramin was West End

[@ameliaborger7642]

My first show in NYC was James, Kaley, and Rodney :)

[@VoyageauCentredelaToile]

Thank you so much for sharing this, it's absolutely beautiful!!

[@cayleebeaver]

Anyone know if Kaley is still on at some performances? She’s one of my favourites and I’m seeing Phantom in July!

[@ipooped2daytoo]

He sounds like a mix of John Owen Jones and Anthony Warlow

[@swanben11]

That's some pretty high praise. I adore all three of these guys, but I'm not sure I see the connection. What is it?

[@Alexia3220]

I agree

[@jessicaward8055]

One fan James Barbour who play phantom

[@voxextremos22]

Considering James Barbour's past the lyric "My power over you grows stronger yet" sounds really disturbing. I feel gross

[@Nothing0_010]

Omg I was literally thinking how gross this sounds

[@Buskeeeeeeee]

The entire role of the phantom seems disturbing with his past

[@toyffer15ppf]

HOW OLD IS KALEY??

[@CalebMiofsky]

20! She was still in college when she landed the role! That's insane...but she obviously deserved it.

[@toyffer15ppf]

i know , i saw her last week she is amazing

[@CalebMiofsky]

+Chirimbo lito ugh ur soooo lucky u saw her!! I'm dying to see her live in Phantom. How was James?

[@cailynmann4913]

Imagine Ramin and Kaley...

[@DavidLopez-nr7wp]

Kaley is the best Christine ever,, just saying

[@generalbanastretarleton6578]

Listen here moaners. Be quiet. Ramin is terrible. And Sierra is terrible James barbour is 100x better than those to wanna be's.

[@cooljul1]

Ok no fuck you

[@christinekaufmann9819]

*Trash Barbour

[@kingbawesome]

+General Banastre Tarleton (The Butcher) I agree :) And one other thing, this video is a good one to use for singing the song as the phantom :) My singing is somewhat similar to his :)

[@cailynmann4913]

Ya no....Ramins voice is like silk. It's flawless. His emotion is heartbreaking, he IS the Phantom of the Opera.

[@iLikePotato3s]

Sike bitch

[@0o0JesusCakes0o0]

If only he wasnt a sex offender

[@1SpicyMeataball]

Was that true? The only info I could get was that charges were dropped. Was he a victim of #metoo? Who knows. 🤔 Also this is rich coming from a guy who has weird sex videos in assorted playlists and a probable foot fetish.

[@amyclarke41]

I find this song kinda of out of place strangely

[@madeleinebrown5]

Same! I think it's because it's the only song in the show that has a rocky sound to it, if you know what I mean. Lots of electric guitar and an 80's drum machine beat. Strange. But, I love it.

[@cailynmann4913]

+Madeleine Brown I know!!! But it fits so well....it's my favourite part.

[@swanben11]

Symbolism or not, it's the first thing Webber wrote before his friends and colleagues convinced him not to made a rock opera out of the entire show. Look up the original promo video with Steve Harley and thank Cameron Mackintosh that's not what we ended up with.
