Far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart cannot resist.
The musical opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre on 9 October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles, and there have been dozens of productions worldwide since then. Now in its 30th record-breaking year, The Phantom of the Opera continues to captivate audiences at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End, after more than 11,000 performances.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s mesmerizing score along with jaw-dropping scenery and breathtaking special effects, magically combine to bring this tragic love story to life each night.

Ben is a magnificent Phantom. One of the best!
it's so weird to see this in the day time
agreed haha!
哈哈哈哈
agreed, lol
Timeless
Turn your face away from the garish light of day!
Ben is my absolute favourite phantom but so underrated his voice is just perfect
Ben Lewis is
H A N D S O M E
roses and phantoms 2002
No doubt about that.
*in gustave's voice:* YES
Got to agree on that one 👍👍
@@thelovelyfleur
You mean live?
I really love this rich and colourful baritone which soars and loads the space. I believe Mr Lewis' voice can perfectly express the very complex personality of the Phantom. 👌
Ben is an amazing phantom. Talented singer and actor.
he's seriously amazing !
Ben Lewis is one of my favorite phantoms. He and Michael Crawford are my favorites.
Why do people need to tear down other performers? Sierra & Ramin are great, so are Kelly & Ben. It's fine to like one more than the other but you don't need to say the others are bad.
Hear, hear! I echo your words. No matter who are the performers, they all put a lot of efforts behind. They deserve our respect!
Yes It’s unfortunate that people can’t love one actor without having to tear down another….. It says something about the time we are living in where people loves to have the right to express themselves but can’t stand being challanged by people with other opinions…. Each and everyone who has played these roles has to undergo extensive training, preparations and rehearsals and that deserves respect….
Exactly, Sierra and Ramin might get the most traction because of the RAH preformance but that rlly just makes other phantoms and christines less appreciated or known :/ so like that sucks
@@Firmin_Richard their fans do it with every single song they sing... I found Sierra sang a song of a french musical and her fans inmediatly compared her with the original singers and started saying she did way better and that she was better and blabla than the original, they were comparing 40 years old Sierra with a 16 year old singer, gosh! (and in fact the french song was arranged for that girl and also did Christine voice in France). In which world a teenager is more prepared than an adult?
I love Ramin and Sierra, but oh my god their fans are awful, also tried to enjoy my fav phantoms and Ramin fans appear just to say that Ramin is better and they are never be like him
@@maggieaishalee3829 That’s lowkey disgusting, bringing down a teenager over a singer who obviously has more experience??? Rerria fans rlly need to take a step back and a chill pill
I've seen her live last year and fell in love with her voice. This actress needs more appreciation
I’m really mad at how underrated Ben Lewis is. I mean I hardly see anybody talking about him but he is PERFECTION in LND DVD!!! I can’t even remember how many times I watched him singing and held my breathe and tears. Let’s just say he’s the sublimest Phantom and does feel like a musician ghost!!
I can't believe that I was lucky enough to watch this in person. I live in South Korea, but it was during my trip to London. I feel so blessed.
Isabella Gu boss me too
Lucky lady
@@Tomas-ql9yo Indeed, I was! It has been 2 years, but it's still a very fond memory to me.
You are lucky
I’m so glad that Ben Lewis did phantom of the opera and love never dies. My heart is happy
So cool to really see Ben perform as the Phantom after seeing him in Love Never Dies!
Erik is SOOO beautiful. His character may be of a villain, but I don't agree w/ the fact that ALL villains become that way for fun. Erik did out of hurt & how the cruel world treated him. Yes, he held Christine captive & did wrong by forcing her to love him, but at the end of the day, his true heart's always been beyond gold: Platinum. I luv Erik so much, fictional or not!!!!!
That look from the Phantom on 06:30
Was trying to figure out why the phantom’s voice sounded so familiar as if I was listening to JOJ or Ramin Karimloo sing and then I just realized that it was Ben Lewis the Phantom from the Australian production of ALW’s Love Never Dies
My favorite duo in this musical, Kelly and Ben had the most amazing chemistry on stage and I was lucky enough to see it live
I understand people admiring Sierra but Kelly has a magical voice, in my opinion. I've seen the Phantom of the Opera in London and it was amazing.
Alice C. Agreed! I saw it in London and it was the best production I’ve seen live!
Sierra in general is great but IMO she’s actually not particularly well suited to the role of Christine. She even looks too modern IMO. She’s awesome in Disney or Disney-style shows though (watch the clips of her in Into the Woods, that’s more her thing) :)
And Ramin I don’t like period, sorry not sorry ;)
@@mella8296 Totally agree!
@@melissam597
Yay.
Melissa McDonald 😂
People keep going on about Kelly not sounding too great because she's ill but I really didn't hear anything that made me think she was ill and a great singer can do that! Ben is absolutely amazing though - I'd love to see him in London!
Same!
I know!! Kelly sounded AMAZING!! I saw them in London for my birthday and they were incredible! Definitely recommend going to see them ❤️
Ben is awesome and so tall
She sounded nervous at the start but not ill. Once she got past few lines she sounded so much more confident! She's great!
Ben Lewis is actually perfect
They make such a great Phantom and Christine!!! I would absolutely love to be able to watch them in person!!!
It’s the first time in a while I’ve actually really loved the Christine and Phantom on the west end tempted to go see the show again now
I saw them for my birthday and they truly were amazing. I still can’t get over their voices and also Kelly’s acting is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! I would definitely recommend going to see them ❤️
Comments: "why is everyone talking about Sierra and Ramin? Stop it."
Actual Comments: *barely anyone talking about them*.
Ooh burns.
Exactly, It makes no sense. Literally no one is talking about them.
I am! They are fab dor
Anna and Ben are back in POTO! Though not together but at the same time. Anna is performing with Ramin Karimloo, currently.
Kim Beverly Villalobos It would be perfect if Ben and Anna return together in one production :D
Tâm Lê Totally!
Where?? What do you mean?
Spring Day Is Not Today In Korea earlier this month and currently in Australia
Lyssa Wilson
Unfortunately Anna O'Byrne's voice was too classic for Ramin Karimloo. He couldn't balance her voice in Once Upon Another Time.
Ben and Ramin sounds surprisingly same as Phantom . They both give that presence .
I had an enormous pleasure to witness the performance with Kelly. She is probably the best Christine I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot all around the globe)
The Phantom from Love Never Dies Australia! 😍
I'm so sick of hearing seirra and ramin all the time. I know they were good but stop commenting they weren't as good because kelly and ben are amazing. We don't need you constantly putting down other Christine's and phantoms just because you watched the 25th thank you very much
Ramin has a much richer voice then Ben and he's a better actor
@@daviddooley1600 maybe but it's time for others to get some love. While they are amazing this isnt their video its Kelly's and Ben's
@@dearone5000 True
@@daviddooley1600
Ben has richer voice than Ramin. He has dark voice and beside serious role like this, he was funny in Forbidden Broadway too.
@@TheMsiaddict Ramin's voice has a greater timbre and richness, he has a layered voice of tenor and baritone. Ben is brilliant as Phantom and other roles as well but I just don't think he has a voice as good as Ramin's.
They were my cast for Phantom and they were all breath taking 👏🏻
She’s great. But Ben is on my top ten phantom’s (thank you TH-cam for letting me see soooooo many more). He is in the elite (up there with Michael Ramin and Colm)!!!
So wonderful, both of them! Their chemistry on stage is remarkable too
Ben Lewis is so wonderful
I was so excited when I saw this because Ben & Kelly were the first Phantom & Christine I saw onstage.
Ben's also the phantom in the Australian production of Love Never Dies (Phantom of the Opera's sequel - though you're better off thinking of it as a standalone because the plots don't quite line up) - which was filmed
BETWEEN ANNA AND BEN, I LOVE IT
BETWEEN KELLY AND BEN, I STILL LOVE IT
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I want to see them again
Wishing I was there again 😭😭😘😊😊
It was my 🌟🌟birthday on 27 February (2018) and as a family, we'd seen an evening performance of Phantom of the opera, it was fabulous.
Afterwards, we waited by the stage door..... I was looking away....
... looked up and Ben was there!
He came straight over to us first and asked if we'd liked the show, gave us his autograph and allowed us to have some photos with him, luckily ,he didn't seem to mind that I had to put my arm around his waist 😉😊😊
I'm too old for blushing, but let's just say it was very special for me
What a lovely man he is.
Btw, we'd seen Les Miserables the night before too, Killian wasn't Valjean that night, the understudy was very good though.
I can highly recommend you go and see Phantom of the opera ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
julie Harris me too😁😭
We have the same B-Day!
I Love Ben Lewis as the Phantom
I think Ben Lewis's phantom the best so far, though his "sing for me" lines lack the intensity I like in Ramin Karimloo's version
ben is not lacking anything ramin over sings Ben knows how to control his singing hes by far my favorite acting n singing is phoemnal
Gtsfy
I just now realized Ben is so tall also how can someone that Ill sing like that damn she was amazing
Imagine that Kelly is tall and in heels, yet she she looks short beside him. How tall is Ben actually? Almost 2 meters?
@@TheMsiaddictThink he's just under 1.9m at 1.88m!!! But yes he's lanky
I absolutely love this performance.
Love this song..
I would like a movie like this 2018/2019 😏😉
Yes agreed
Pfft...buddy I am doing that...sorry for the 5 year wait!😂
Wow!!!! It was absolutely terrific!!! They were amazing!!!. However this performance must be do at night.
Ben's voice, Ramin's voice, and John Owen-Jones' voice are my favorites
You forgot to mention Butler's voice 😅
ben N anna n Ben n kelly are my #1 fav they are phoemnal
I gotta say it, Ben and Ramin are probably my top 2 Phantoms
!!!Oh my good...Beautiful!!!
I come from the same part of Scotland as Kelly. And she lived just down the road from my college
Love this play
Kelly Mathieson. What. A. Voice
Went to see the show last August and loved everything about it ❤️
Yes! She is brilliant!
One more year with Ben and Kelly... Is it too much to ask?
I grew up listening to michael crawford's phantom, but now my no 1 phantom is sexy ben lewis
Please do not remove this video.... I really love their voices🥰
It's an official video.
I love Ben Lewis as the phantom especially in the Love Never Dies production. I find his voice very enticing and just perfect for the Phantom. His looks are also fit for the role, but his look here seems very different from the one in Love Never Dies. I wonder if it’s the make up or the mask size, but his look as the Phantom in LND was way better.
Angela Nathaniel in LND he does not wear traditional make up. But in this one he has to do his make up in this style and i think this looks great either
He was older, much richer and maybe underwent some plastic surgeries.
wonderful..I saw them last January...just marvellous
I lovw this play
I like Kelly, Amy (not in this video), and Ben! Good Christines and Phantom! :D
I’m obsessed with this broadway show and the movie (even though lots of people thought its bad) seeing it live and on movie is great I can’t waist to see it again
So good!! ❤
I,,,,
I have goosebumps rlly , I love both
Always in my mind
Love it! Beautiful 😍
i love Ben Lewis
JUST WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So beautiful..wow
El mejor musical de todos los tiempos por lejos!!
3:38the phantom of the opera start
Love them wow
Very nicely done .
She sings good. What is her name?? Ben Lewis is the Phantom??
Kelly Mathieson and yes the phantom is Ben Lewis
Dena Morehouse It tells you who they are in the description. No offense there.
I saw Kelly opposite Tim Howar in September 2018 and they were both really sweet at stagedoor! Kelly is so good as Christine and has the classic "Christine look", I don't really know how to describe it.
How bad that Ben will leave being Phantom soon :'( I love him as Phantom
Maide Tezcan
Maybe for temporary.
Kelly is my favorite Christine!!!
Bravo!!
I have to like this one too.
Ben Lewis is the best Phantom ever! ❤
Goosebumps😍😍😍😍
ok! if i ever write "her hair/curls bounced as she walked/ran" THIS IS WHAT I MEAN
First off, Kelly is good, but Sierra is my favorite . 2nd
I love Ben Lewis as the Phantom especially in LND.
3rd it would be cool to see Anna O’Byrne and Ben Lewis sing together again.
I prefer Rachel Barrell. Her bored and curious acting is different than the other frightened Christine. She even snatched The Phantom's mask in MOTN. Naughty girl.
TheMsiaddict I love Rachel Barrell, she’s one of the best Christines ever. Funnily enough prior to the 25th anniversary and - vom - Love Never Dies, people usually called her and/or Rebecca Caine the best in the role. Love Gina Beck & Harriet Jones too.
@@melissam597
That's bad. She used to have twitter account. But she had to close it because of the crazy fans.
She (Anna) did call him back to help with a cover for her album about five years ago. Rebecca Caine was also on the album and she noted their history with this show.
😍😍😍
I want to see Christy Altomare ("Anastasia") as Christine. If she can do Opera, I think her voice will be suitable. Youthful and beautiful
Yaas
wow~~
Adoro!
Ben Lewis is our Goku Phantom!
Lol what? I’m a DBZ fan and this is unexpected.
They are good. I scroll through the comments to saying they are r not good, but they are not as good as Ramin and Sierra but still a really good choice. Definitely on the better end of Christines and phantoms
Hashbrown Hippo
They're better than RK and SB.
ベン・ルイスさん、ハンサム。アジア人から見ても、かっこいい。世界共通の美。来日してくれたらいいのに。日本のプロモーター、呼んでもらいたい。
2011 phantom of the opera cast was the best.
i still like Ben Lewis and Ramin Karimloo as Erik
why are so many comments saying to stop talking about ramin and sierra? there are literally none talking about them lol
I have cosplay of the phantom
I really loved Ben Lewis ever since Love Never Dies, but still Ramin is the best for me.
Does anyone know how long they are going to be in the show for? I’m going to London in two weeks and I’m seeing the show! Are they still performing?
Mia lansdell
This week is the last for Ben Lewis.
Where is the main Iron Maiden riff???
3:53
Also, does anyone know the cast holiday dates?
Mia lansdell
Why don't you ask POTO twitter?
Who is she
Kelly Mathieson. She is my favourite Christine...btw she had the flu in this performance. She was still incredible though 💖
Porque esta tan bajo el sonido :'(
Muy bonito en un escenario en vez de un teatro...
es sarcasmo?
No,digo que no es un típico teatro...pero de verdad que me encanta...lo vi hace unos años cuando estaba en Madrid e iría otra vez sí lo volvieran a reponer...👍😊
Could barely hear the singing
