Wishing You Were Somehow Here Gain/Wandering Child - Hugh Panaro and Sandra Joseph

The Graveyard Sequence from Hugh's last show in '05. Enjoy!

[@keelieak]

5:07 begin's Hugh's voice....pure, haunting, silky, compelling perfection. I would follow that phantom ANYWHERE.

[@alanramos6362]

the sass in the end of wandering child is so perfect omg

[@hansbmd20]

Just the Phantom and Christine singing, that's the way this sequence should be. I don't like it with Raoul added in like they've got now, it feels too crowded, just too much. This is much better.

[@keelieak]

Exactly! You can't hear a thing anyone says. When I was a little girl I fell in love with the sound of Michael Crawford's "you denied me-turning from true beauty/do not shun me..."harmonizing with Christine's lyrics. Hugh Panaro is the only Phantom since, to give me the same chills. Had Raoul been jumbling it up from the beginning, I'd have missed what is maybe two of my favorite verses sung by my two favorite phantoms.

[@erika8627]

Was this on purpose? It feels like Raoul got on stage late or something? "Can't you see she'll never be yours!"

[@jesselynlee]

@@erika8627 It is on purpose - for Broadway. The West End version has Raoul come in earlier, Broadway has him come in later.

[@l.n.3372]

I disagree, I think Wandering Child is much stronger as a trio. It was written as the trio (Phantom, Christine and Raoul). To remove Raoul takes away from some of the strength of the song. The Phantom is trying to manipulate Christine. Raoul is trying to free Christine from the Phantom. And Christine is caught in the middle.

7:07 - 7:24 You can tell how much fun Hugh is having in this role

[@Grey_witch88]

I love Hugh Panaro! The Wandering Child duet between Christine and Erik is so alluring. Panaro is my second favorite phantom (Next to Ramin Karimloo).

[@keelieak]

Michael Crawford's haunting, soothing voice in this part captured my heart as a little girl when I'd listen to the soundtrack, making this one of my very favorite parts of the whole show. Hugh Panaro is the only Phantom since, to melt me on the spot at "wandering child.". He's exquisite.

[@musicalmeg19]

Hugh's "Don't go" is awesome!! He's so mocking, like a cat playing with a mouse.

[@michellehayton3449]

I would love to see Hugh live playing this roll. Seeing it on video is a poor substitute. But even here I can see why everybody is raving about him. He is truly scary,intimidating, psychotic, and mesmerizing. His voice, holy moly! If a voice could have power to posses your mind and poison your soul, it is his! Hauntingly beautiful and insidious! The darkest portrait of the phantom ever!

[@keelieak]

I just love this comment.

[@Hopeful_dreamer]

Me too! If only time machines existed.

[@TsumiMegami]

GODDAMNIT HUGH IS JUST SO GOOD

[@Riccardo89]

She can act. Not only one of the best Christine voices out there but one of the best actresses too !

[@charstar1989]

Seeing her and Hugh before he left, and for the first time at that, was magical

[@barbidoll1548]

Why could they not have been performing together at a time when we had better video quality and more TV performances? I crave high quality videos of Panaro and Joseph, they're the perfect people for these roles.

[@erika8627]

YES!!!

[@hansi6119]

His voice is seriously so perfect for this role. A beautiful combination of gentleness, power, and control.

[@Rachel-xf1yc]

"aww don't goo" hahaha

[@catherinebracy4332]

This is probably my favorite rendition of Wandering Child beside Michael's!

[@beneddiected]

7:11 that noise he made is my favorite thing about this version 😂 also the way he bounced and his mocking tone in general 😂

[@EcoBittern]

Hugh is brilliant in this. :D

[@broadwaygeek100]

at the end of this scene when the fire goes up, i was in the first row so i litteraly felt the fire on my face!

[@drjax1994]

They actually only use that part in the UK. Ever since the show transferred to Broadway, they dropped it for all US productions. The London productions and quite a few foreign productions use it still.

[@musicalmeg19]

Hugh is so good!! I love him in every scene... but this is truly heart-breaking. He's just brilliant!

[@sep425]

I thought I was going to die when he started singing "I'm am your angel of music...Come to me angel of music..." He is amazing!

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

Panaro is one of the best.

[@christianmagoon5968]

Phantom of the Opera 2005 (Bootleg Full Show) (Hugh Panaro's last show.) Phantom - Hugh Panaro Christine - Sandra Joseph Raoul - Tim Martin Gleason

[@JaredGoerke]

What always makes me wonder is how the phantom knew raoul was coming and brought his fire cane.

[@beneddiected]

I believe he brought it to accessorize and it happen to be a weapon as well

[@bookboybrs90]

i like hugh

[@Mthical101]

OMG I JUST SAW HUGH I AM ADDICTED TO IT KNOW!!!! I have read the book! (The original true story) I know every line in the play! OMG I

[@keighlysocha5364]

Probably my favorite part of the entire play, I love it so much. This is such a moving performance, they are all so amazing! The phantoms taunting, sadistic change on it is so.. it's just so cool. Christine's heartbreak, despiration. She gives such a moving performance. Between that helplessness and the pained taunting, it's just so amazing.

[@DarkNecrofear01]

i really sincerely hope he goes on the us tour ive never seen phantom live but next year im going to see it in cincinnati and hes my favorite phantom besides michael crawford :)

[@soubrette87]

Now I have found the 3rd Christine to my list! Sierra, Gina, and now Sandra! Welcome to the group :)

[@AaronRodgerzlover12]

Saw him last June he was my first phantom , so amazing!

[@lizzybennet6187]

I gotta say.... This is the first Wandering Child I've ever heard that was basically a Phantom solo... Raoul is straight up not here, Hugh Panaro is absolutely overpowering Christine... Hugh's amazing here, so I can't say that I'm complaining.

[@erika8627]

These two are the best! Thank you for getting me through this pandemic! Beautiful voices.

[@VentiColdbrew_]

this is so beautiful i want to cry

[@abelincolnlover2470]

Is the line "far from my far-reaching gaze" or "far from my fatherly gaze"? I distinctly heard Hugh sing the first one here, but I swear I have piano scores that list it as the second... hmm

[@evilmerv4645]

I have the 25th anniversary show on dvd and the subtitles say “fathering gaze” so 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@l.n.3372]

I'm fairly certain Michael Crawford says far reaching gaze in the original soundtrack I've always had as a kid.

[@florzinhala]

Hugh e Davis Gaines são meus fantasmas favoritos. Eles estão no topo em primeiro lugar para mim.

[@chrissyschhhh]

I get to see this for Spring Break which makes it my first Broadway show!! SO EXCITED!! :)

[@broadwaygeek100]

saw him twice gonna see him a third in march ;)

[@DGokeys1fan]

Mine is the 25th too. That's amazing.

[@carwyncymru]

[@agcaoiliproductions9580]

Can we just appreciate this angle for Wandering child? It legit just looks like a floating mask and lips. Creepy af.

[@Mthical101]

Lol i felt so bad for phantom i wanted to tell raoul to shut up lol

[@soubrette87]

[@charstar1989]
