But why was Sierra and Ramin's LND not visually recorded?! Their Phantom showing was beautiful, and their LND would have been amazing to have on DVD as well!
Clarissa Leung what about it was so bad? I have the cast recording from it and I LOVE it. I also have the DVD of the Australian production, but I jus love Ramin and Sierra together so much more. I have their performance of Phantom together and LOVE watching it.
@@NicoleDanley I know the comment was made two years ago but in case anyone else might stumble upon this conversation, I can try to elaborate. Went to see it when it was still in London. A lot of the scenes had weird, out-of-place jokes in them, many of the stage designs were quite poor and the stage was often empty (for example the Waltz intro consisted of Mme. Giry in front of a see-through canvas with a fairly abstract animation projected on it as opposed to the huge carnival in the Australian production). Some smaller things: - Beauty Underneath had Phantom walking around in his not-so-cool lair while Gustave followed. Many silly jokes, nothing like the cool scenery in the filmed production. One skeleton and a small chandelier if I recall correctly. - Raoul never returned to Christine at the end. - Phantom only wore the mask once or twice, and throughout the 2nd act he was without it (including while he sang Devil take the hindmost). There's really no mystery to him and he openly talked to Giry during their first scene together. - Bathing Beauty had Meg actually go topless during the last chorus (with her back turned to the audience). The cast was great and so was the music but unfortunately the production itself didn't do it justice. I'm glad I saw it but the Aussie version absolutely brought it to the next level especially with its stage designs.
Andrew chose Sierra in four of the productions of Phantom besides LND and each of them are a big deal. I think he literally fell in love with her platonically
ALW is absolutely right, the cast for LND was never the problem. Sierra and Ramin's chemistry is perfect, they are both amazing actors and singers. They are EXACTLY who they need to be for LND to succeed. The problem for LND was everything else; the plot, the setting, and the music according to some of its negative reviews. So essentially, everything else ALW had control over xD
Ramin Karimloo & Sierra Boggess are the perfect love team... Every time they combining their voices, I feel I'm listening to the "Angel of Music"...... They are the reasons why I love the Phantom of the Opera & Love Never Dies... Amazing!!!
Gabrielle Weaver I’ve always known that Ramin and Sierra are the perfect Christine and Phantom. I wish they were a couple in real life. I mean, they have such chemistry both on and off the stage. They are soulmates. I very strongly believe that with all my heart. Team Rierra forever.
Sierra is such a bright light. What a voice, what a presence. I love reading comments on videos like this opposed to my usual hard rock videos/clips etc….A more intellectual, cultured group of people. The grammar is always correct as well.😝
I love Ramin more than Ben, but after watching Ben's Phantom on LND, I found him to be a great contender to Ramin voice-wise and also acting-wise. What Ramin has over Ben that makes him much more Phantom to me is his chemistry with Sierra. Those two filled the 25th RAH production of POTO with so much... feeling... like the stars were aligned on that night. Magnifique! That's how I felt. And it can only be encountered a few times in a lifetime, so I'm glad at least POTO was filmed.
Plot twist: Andrew Lloyd Webber is a Tumblr fangirl, he wrote a fanfiction called Love Never Dies just to ship Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess. #Rierra
Wow. I have always wondered why/was bothered that the title song didn't have a more dramatic finish. ALW says that arias don't have big endings. I did now know this!
Yes, the London production ended and it went to Australia. The DVD of the Australian cast came out just last year I believe. It's pretty good overall, but I enjoy the clips from the original London cast myself. IMO, no one does a better Phantom then Ramin or a better Christine then Sierra. But that's my opinion, lol. I watch the 25th DVD of POTO 1-2 times a week and Love Never Dies at least once a week. I also watch the 25th anniversary of Les Mis, as Ramin is in that as well as Enjolras :)
Has not been the London production already over, when they did the DVD with australien cast? Btw absolutely agree with you on Ramin and Sierra being the better Christine and Phantom, that´s why I am so happy we got DVD with them in the original Phantom of the opera. They are both phenomenal in it.
So glad someone else agrees with me! Now the creative team needs to make an Audio Recording wth the Australian cast (I love to listen to music in my car) and a Blu-ray/DVD of teh orginal London cast. That would be perfect! :)
yes thank you for saying that, every artist is talented and unique in there own way its not comparing apples to apples because if everyone sounded the same that would be really boring!
I agree 100%! Bot casts from London and Australia are so talented but so different. Not just vocally but acting-wise. I don't think anyone is better then the other. Just different.
So if ALW says that he loves Ramin & Sierra together, that they have such passion together, then why on earth did he release a DVD with the Australian cast??!! I mean they did ok, but R & S is just so much better! IMO. You can feel their love for each other (Phantom & Christine) can feel the passion, etc. I just don't get that from the other cast. But, it's better than having no DVD of Love Never Dies at all. It'll have to do.
MsStar0567 cuz the R&S LND cast was already done with their tour when they decided to do the dvd. And the Aussies were the only ones still doing LND at the time
@@g2growcya nah. If u checked out the LND TH-cam channel you will realise that they did do proper recordings of the stage with Ramin and Sierra. Maybe ALW thought its not good enough I mean many pointed out that the production wasn't that good. And the Australia production was a better one
Deepbluexi neo i had already checked. And watched. And loved it. On TH-cam. Thank you. I do actually appreciate the aussie cast dvd a lot. Its a beautiful set design and Ben and Anna still did a wonderful job even tho i will always love Ramin and Sierra more
I'm not a hater of ramin AT ALL. I absolutely ADORE his phantom in poto but Ben Lewis captured my heart when it comes to LND. I just can't picture another phantom besides Ben.
I agree, Ben Lewis is wonderful. Though I do prefer Ramin’s Beauty Underneath, simply because a more contemporary voice fits it better. That aside Ben is much more suited to the role (in either production) than Ramin.
I have to apologize. When I purchased the dvd, I assumed that the cd was also Australian since I was not aware that there was a cd from the West End cast.
Yes it was re edited, because lots of people complained about the characters in it being too different from the original, especially Phantom and on that I have to agree. Going back to the original portrayal of his charakter helped the story a lot. Sorry but Ben and Anna don´t sound similar to Sierra and Ramin to me. Ben has much deeper voice than Ramin and Anna has completely different voice colour than Sierra.
I can not find anything for the Australian cast in regards to a CD. Only the Blu-ray and DVD. I only saw the West End cast in the CD section. Is there something special I have to type in?

i hope with the revised version from Australia, they will try to film the london version then.
Nicole Danley peeps...there's an uncompleted bootleg on youtube 😶
Ramin didn't want it to be recorded. He was offered, but he unfortunately declined.

+Pimpball He has said that if he weren't so old he would propose.
+Elizabeth Cat aw, really? where?
Pimpball well he was once married to Sarah brightman
@@thatperformer3879 really late to the game, but he must have a thing for women with the initials S.B.
Hmm...should he not be casting who he thinks is best for the role and not somebody he fancies?
"Really popular, very sexy Phantom I have to say "
I agree with you there Sir Andrew :D
ALW is totally fangirling over rierra! So adorable!
"the passion between the two...its almost sort of unbearable sometimes..."
oh Andrew. you hit the nail on the head...
4:00 "The passion between them is almost unbearable at some points..." How right you are ALW! They're too perfect😍😍
ALW is absolutely right, the cast for LND was never the problem. Sierra and Ramin's chemistry is perfect, they are both amazing actors and singers.

Exactly! LND is so bad it's not even laughable.
ladycalderone99 i agree. i love the cast and music but the plot is basically fanfic
Totally agree!
@@JokerLurver -- I hope you only mean the plot, in which case I agree. But other than that, I thought the cast was superb, and the music is sublime.
Ramin Karimloo & Sierra Boggess are the perfect love team... Every time they combining their voices, I feel I'm listening to the "Angel of Music"...... They are the reasons why I love the Phantom of the Opera & Love Never Dies... Amazing!!!
ALW knows that their chemistry is unbearable. It is now official. These two are the perfect Christine and Phantom.
Gabrielle Weaver it's not just me, ALW knows too! Lol

@@eristineforever6934 x
I agree. And I'm a Colm Wilkinson fan. But these two have so much chemistry:)
@@eristineforever6934, why would you want Ramin and Mandy's happy marriage wrecked?
Andrew is right about them, they have great passion and it's almost unbearable❤️ #beautiful #perfect
The chemistry between these two fantastic artists is enviable!
I want a redo of Sierra and Ramin for LND and a recording!
Sierra is such a bright light. What a voice, what a presence.
I love reading comments on videos like this opposed to my usual hard rock videos/clips etc….A more intellectual, cultured group of people. The grammar is always correct as well.😝
I love these two. Sierra looks 16 without her make up - too cute.
It's unbearable at times, it's so strong. Thank you Sir, for this statement.
Thats its they're passion/chemistry is what makes this work so well, the best!
I love Ramin more than Ben, but after watching Ben's Phantom on LND, I found him to be a great contender to Ramin voice-wise and also acting-wise.

Why is it that Sierra hasn't Sung with Ben Lewis .
Sierra and Ramin have such good personalities for each other. They are so awesome together!!!
Plot twist: Andrew Lloyd Webber is a Tumblr fangirl, he wrote a fanfiction called Love Never Dies just to ship Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess. #Rierra
Will I ship gread butter and Emmy rossum
Sierra is beautiful both vocally and to look at :)
Wow. I have always wondered why/was bothered that the title song didn't have a more dramatic finish. ALW says that arias don't have big endings. I did now know this!
Beautiful
When Ramin entered I couldn't help myself but SMILE ALL THE TIME like a total idiot xD
She is so fantastic and so is ramin
I just found this musical....i know...i know. OMG! all the feels!!! New favorite.
ALW SHIPS RIERRA GUYSSSS
ALW is the greatest

Is that really true
Leonie Ladner of course not, Ramin is married with kids
Why are there dislikes!?
who knows.., crazy people, maybe?
Maybe silly people who think roule wasn't an imbecilic.
From jealous phantom
Raoul paid people to unlike this. I'm sure of it.
A lot of people were not happy about LND lol
More please!

Watching this again because they just announced the premiere of this on the shows must go on
Oh my when they showed the director at about 2:14 I thought he was a vicar 😂
Omg I needed this. I love this
I love Sierra.........
I love eammy

3:22
Couldn’t have said it better myself Andrew!!!!!! Haha 😅😍
They are both good at singing and they are both good Christine And phantom like In the 25th anveristy of phantom of the opera
ALW calls Ramin a sexy phantom, yes Andrew, I agree 😍
amo ela gente amo essa mulher
THIS is why Sierra is the BEST Christine, in LND and POTO
I'm not a hater of ramin AT ALL. I absolutely ADORE his phantom in poto but Ben Lewis captured my heart when it comes to LND. I just can't picture another phantom besides Ben.
JulietteMarie true.
❤️❤️

RIERRA!!!!
😍 sou fã
Very popular very sexy phantom. ALW is so right. Damn.
I have to apologize. When I purchased the dvd, I assumed that the cd was also Australian since I was not aware that there was a cd from the West End cast.
Amazing!!🎶🎶🎶🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Got it. Thanks, Sir ALW. I suspected as much.
the way ALW called Ramin sexy :')
DanielleWhit i mean he’s not wrong is he
Not sure I could handle the LND's ending if Sierra played Christian. I absolutely adore her as Christian.
#Rierra 😍
It is unfornate we arw not able to watch this.
Can someone tell me the name of the song at 1:53 ? Please.
I’m very late, but it’s Devil Take the Hindmost Quartet 😁
Is there a full behind scenes?
Yes it was re edited, because lots of people complained about the characters in it being too different from the original, especially Phantom and on that I have to agree. Going back to the original portrayal of his charakter helped the story a lot. Sorry but Ben and Anna don´t sound similar to Sierra and Ramin to me. Ben has much deeper voice than Ramin and Anna has completely different voice colour than Sierra.
Imagine getting feedback from Andrew Lloyd Webber and having him tell you you’re amazing (which she is). I would literally shit my pants
Webber my own the rights of the story but the fans do know the story probably more than the director of the album ever will.
Andrew KNEW it had to be them...he knows it’s unbearable, we know it’s unbearable...those two are just SOMETHING ELSE together on stage.
I hate this musical but damn Sierra and Ramin are so good!
I can not find anything for the Australian cast in regards to a CD. Only the Blu-ray and DVD. I only saw the West End cast in the CD section. Is there something special I have to type in?
thumbs up if Sierra Boggess linked you here from twitter.
Me: didn’t like LND // also me: ok I need to watch this video
That's okay. Only a misunderstanding. Perhaps some day I will get my wish.
#rierra
😍😍😍😍😍
둘이사궈?
I thought Ramin is married ??????
Tri Dong: He is to Mandy Karimloo for about 16 years now and they have two beautiful children :D
Wow even Andrew is a fan of Rierra 😂
两人都好嫩
Eammy rossum is my Christine
Unbearable at times! Yes, that’s what I was thinking. Ugh.
