[@sunshine-mh3ii]

I actually prefer this version! I love the anger and frustration Anna is able to portray! It feels more realistic because in all honesty i would have been pissed off too. the father of your child and the man who inspired your voice, your whole identity, fakes his death and then casually shows up in your room one night 10 years later and expects things to be as before? Her frustration is something that i think adds more depth to her character and makes this scene more intense. The anger mixed with frustration and desire.,, it’s *chefs kiss*

[@Aiijuin]

Yes. I’ve watched the Sierra/Ramin version here on YT, and although their voices are nice, the emotion is far too casual for what is being conveyed in this song. This version has it right for exactly what you said.

[@mmmt7]

My exact sentiments! 😫

[@The-Musical-Lover]

Yes! People are all around Sierra, but honestly, Anna conveyed this role much better. Christine is honestly pretty bland character in this, so rounding her up and making her more realistic is necessary.

The acting here is incredible! Unpopular opinion: Idk why people hate on pretty much anyone else except for Sierra and Ramin. Okay, they're great, but imo Lewis and O'Byrne are also very good! I like the way they act, they make it a bit more realistic, you can actually FEEL the tension between these two characters, not just hear about it. Lewis is my favourite Phantom. He fits the role perfectly. He's intimidating, yet soft and you can actually see the incense Christine is talking about in his eyes. He's my favourite! On the other hand O'Byrne also has an amazing voice. Very unique in my opinion! She can also act incredibly well and you can actually hear it in her voice not just see it on her face. She definitely lives in the moment, in every single lyric she sings. God bless them, they gave a body and a soul to the play and I think Lewis and O'Byrne own this show like Boggess and Karimloo own The Phantom Of The Opera. LND might not be as great as a story, but these people make you feel what the characters feel and that's what a talented artist does. Congratulations to both of them!

I mean the sets, the costumes, the actors... And all shot brilliantly for an almost movie-esque recording. Even some music pieces, on their own without context, are beautiful given the sometimes clunky lyrics. It is such a shame all this talent was wasted on Andrew's sad self-insert fanfiction.

[@carniethedat7071]

I can argue that with a few additional scenes, a rework of Erik’s actions (less child threatening, more sinister control issues and abandonment of his loyal staff), and some clarification of motivations… this storyline could actually be pretty good. Sort of a tragedy in three parts based around obsession, longing, and unrequited romantic feelings. Madame Giry still caring for Erik based on nostalgia for his more innocent childhood would easily explain her saving him. Say he started getting over Christine after that, but needed a star for a show to save his reputation like in “The Phantom of Manhattan”, which brings her back to mind. He starts caring less about his loyal performers (especially Meg, who’s formed a parasocial attraction to Erik) and ignoring the guidance of Mme. Giry telling him to stop obsessing over Christine, slipping slowly back into his former behavior. That’s enough of a fix to justify a lot of the thematic flaws. Too bad Lloyd Webber wanted to diss Sarah Brightman so hard that Christine dying in the end was all that mattered.

[@daejaruiz4670]

At 5:59 where Christine says "I Loved you, yes I loved you. I'd have followed anywhere you lead." Is extremely painful, the look of Erik realizing that she really loved him and was willing to stay with him through anything and possibly abandon her singing career for him hurts so much more than her choosing Raoul in my opinion. You can see the look of total regret on his face, they had a chance to be together and he didn't take it. I understand he was ashamed of what he was and possibly felt that a beautiful woman like Christine would never truly love someone like him but he let his insecurities and fear stop him from being with the woman he loved.

I stood while you slept, And whispered a goodbye, And slipped into the dark, Beneath a moonless sky. Christine: And I loved you! Yes I loved you! I'd have followed anywhere you lead. I woke to swear my love, And found you gone instead.

@@annmitchell4663 Maybe I am missing something, but there seems to be no other children. I mean: after 10 years? And at that time birth control surely wasn't as secure as it is today. So either she didn't sleep with her husband, even in the beginning of their marriage or she had a lot of miscarriages or at least either of them wasn't able to have children of their own. As for Raoul noticing her not being a virgin: I doubt it. From all we know she slept with Eric this one time and he seems to have been a great lover (judging by this song). Raoul is a different man, he doesn't come across as particularly caring, it would have been her second time with a man, there probably would have been pressure on both of them because it was their wedding night and they were 'expected to'... But maybe she slept with the whole company and Raoul just didn't care. 🤷

[@daniellemusella1594]

Though beautiful, this song is also incredibly sad. When she woke up and realized that Erik was gone, Christine must've thought everything he said about loving her wasn't true, that, like so many other men have done with women over the years, he got what he wanted and left. For Erik's part, he was too terrified to face what he thought was going to be yet another rejection. The difference a few minutes would've made, had she awoken sooner to catch him before he left, is amazing. Thematically, it reminds me of the sunflower scene in the first "Shrek" movie, when Shrek hears Fiona talking through the door and assumes it's about him. Both scenes show what misunderstandings can do, especially if they're not taken care of right away. (6/27/2021)

[@emeliaclester1038]

I think Anna's rendition of this is the best one I've seen. I know everybody's touchy about this show in general, this is just my opinion, but the notes were on point, and I really admire all of the emotion and then indignation she puts behind it.

[@LittleLotteWanders]

As "Team Erik" as I am, I kinda wish Christine had kept this awesome backbone she finally developed. Half expected her to start singing "Call Me When You're Sober" by Evanescence 😂

[@luchoney5868]

I love this song. I actually love LND. Its obviously not as good as the first nothing could ever match it but I still think it is really good. The music is equally good at times. This being one of those times. It is a fitting ending to their tragic love story and I think it works and is actually really good.

[@ltm3368]

[@karlalejandroresurreccion5778]

From the Erik's entrance to their first embrace after 10 years, you can truly feel Christine's strong emotions for Erik.

[@hollywilkins1438]

I can't believe that they uploaded this song. It's so beautiful and is my favourite from the musical. We get to see them reunite and their conflicting feelings and it's just amazing. And of course Anna and Ben make this show 100 times better. Their performances are absolutely breathtaking.

[@qkalexan]

they made me ignore the plot and enjoy the music and their singing and acting :-D

[@blueturtle3623]

This song starts off with Christine having the correct reaction to seeing Erik again, but we quickly dissolve into the most basic of basic fanfiction smut in musical form.

[@AlexPerez-hn2do]

I have no idea why people dislike this musical. The singers here are absolutely breathtaking!

[@jbvader721]

The singers are not the problem. They're doing the best they can to make this wretched story and the terrible and at times, goofy lyrics that go with it work. This musical completely contradicts the previous story and characters it claims to continue. LND is like "The Cursed Child" or "Rise of Skywalker" of musicals. It reads like bad fanfiction that sadly got considered canon.

[@sienashawver6511]

[@janebishop5885]

I made a decision to not see this movie as a continuation of Phantom of the Opera but as a stand alone film. On that basis, it's excellent for the acting, the musical score and lyrics with exceptional songs that will live forever. Anna is a a wonderful Christine with Ben Lewis equally matched as Phantom. Thank you ALW not for a sequel but for a stand alone film of beauty and mayhem

[@KS-ck8ht]

Absolutely my favourite Christine of all time. Her acting skills are out of the world. There's so much depth in her voice acting. I'm so glad we get to enjoy this version in such good quality.

[@musicst4r2012]

Christine: I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole. Me: I don’t think we’re thinking of the same Phantom.

[@tammynaville6295]

Such a moving -- no, heart-wrenching -- performance! What a pair these two amazing actors make, indeed. Ramin and Sierra are amazing as well, but Ben and Anna gave this song everything they had, and they knocked it out of the park!

[@mariagi97]

At last we see Christine admit she loves the Phantom after so many years. I absolutely loved it! Ben and Anna are fantastic.

[@luvazquez3255]

I absolutely adore Ben and Anna they're my favorite Phantom and Christine in Love never dies. They way she looks at him is so ❤..

[@JustASinger08]

Okay I have a story. So the first time I watched POTO , I was with my grandparents, and we loved it. (Although I did die in past the point of no return) when we finished it, we were going through trying to find another musical, and my grandma found LND, and said we should watch it. It was all fine until this song. I legit thought I was going to die. My grandpa was doing that disapproving face that we all know and love, and my grandma was staring at me. Never watching it with them again. (I hope they never find out I listen to it sometimes)

[@b.d6642]

Don't watch book of Mormon with them!

[@ERFox5sparrows]

This is very well performed. The voices and acting are superb. I've come to justify this sequel as a fantasy of the phantom. In the end feeling unworthy of the life of Christine. It is not a great play, but it is one well done.

[@darkknight41792]

This is my favorite song from LND it was pure I listened and then I realized the song is about them being together the night before Christine’s wedding when she came to see Erik (The Phantom) and they both lost virginity together under a new moon and was pitch black that night, later into late of the night The Phantom was ashamed and left before Christine wakes up in the morning that was a mistake because Christine was about to confess her love for him and maybe not marry Raoul to be honest this is a beautiful story
