@@strawberrybunny1875 The color is too neon and retina burning for me. It's also too cheap looking when the sleeves should be gold studded with stars and lace, note the bare bodice without proper beading. West End Star princess used to be good in 2000s, sad to see what it has become now.
They are very cute together... No one never made me like Raoul and I still stay with Phantom 🤣🤣 but I have to admit it: in this version they are cute together... No matter how they portray Raoul from day 1 to eternity, if they portray him like a white knight or a more grey character, I WILL NEVER ROUTE FOR HIM 🤣🤣🤣 SORRY 😅😅
I just wish they would restore the orchestra. It is a travesty to cut back the orchestra on such a gorgeous production which because of the scale has made it so famous and beloved. I don’t get why a 27 person pit was reduced to 14 in favor of digital musicians. It’s not at all what made the musical so famous and beloved.
I am so pumped about this. The 25th anniversary of phantom of the opera was what made fall in love with the musical. Ahhh!!!! I'm really hoping that the four phantoms will be there.
The new Christine sounds beautiful. Her wig design is very pretty on her with her sweet face. The particular colors on her Masquerade dress are also especially flattering on her. I just wish she and all the other new cast members had the chance to perform with the full orchestra. The places where the recordings are new are pretty glaringly obvious. These skilled performers deserve better for all their efforts through the years, the audience deserves better for their continued love and support for the show, and the musicians deserve to have the pit full of their colleagues once again. There are other ways to cut costs on the big picture level with choices that make sense without sacrificing quality and at least one of the static companies (Broadway or West End) preserving the original show (excepting Björnson's second Masquerade design for Christine). We all deserve the full orchestra.
UGHHHHHH that music coming in at the beginning ALWAYS gets me. I still remember the first time I saw it live and suddenly the chandelier dropped and the music started and it was just AMAZING
Bravo gentlemen Webber and Mackintosh! On the occasion of the 35th anniversary, it would be good to release a theatrical performance DVD, it would be a huge deal! Fans would be very happy!
As a musical theater geek...I enjoyed the trailer for Phantom of The Opera And good luck to Miss.Stlouis in her Roll as Christine....for you are making History.....keep up the good work.....
Big deal, so she is black. Why is that always "making history"? Like Morgan Freeman said, racism will only die completely when we stop deciding by race and acknowledging because of race (not an exact qoate). She hopefully got chosen ONLY because of her merits or she won't have my respect.
@@HopeNazir it’s always “making history” because she is the FIRST ever non-white to play Christine on the West End. A quick google search could’ve cleared your confusion
@@janiahchapman5311 I know she is the first ever, I am a fan of it. I am saying we need to stop with this race "first" deal. We might as well say it is the first blond person, or first person with black hair. Same difference.
@@HopeNazir it’s not the same and you know it, people are not deliberately excluded, oppressed and discriminated against for their hair colour. racial colour blindness does far more harm than good.
This phantom is giving me Michael Crawford vibes. It's 2021 and Phantom is still best musical in my heart. It all just fit together so well, the music, the costumes, the set design. One of the few musicals where the music enhances the plot instead of diminishing it.
I know you posted this nearly a year ago now. Sure you heard they are doing a revival of: Aspects of Love with Michael Ball returning! Will you go and see it, one of my fav musicals that first came out in the 80's!
@@mikekaraoke yes I’m interested in seeing that for sure! I just love the theatre & musicals hold a special place in my heart! I’m still yet to see Les Mis!
I remember first seeing her/hearing her name being talked about when she was doing Peter Pan as Tiger Lilly at Hawth Theatre way back in 2009-loved her other work ever since.
I don't want to disappoint the actors/singers, but Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Booges were the best. I would love to see them perform. They are unforgettable! 🤩😍
True but with limitations they had they did a pretty good job but yeah it crashing to the stage is a major part of the musical even the original 1986 cast chandelier drop was amazing
Dream Team Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo! Cant Agree more. cant say i cared for the phantom in this new version. The casting also seems less than historically accurate as well.
@@twjr2855 ...because christine is black? bro this is a fictional story about a man who lives in the cellars of an opera house for his entire life. i dont think the goal is to be "historically accurate" and honestly that's a tone deaf comment to make
@@socks9024 you want this to be racist but it is not. Fictional story set in a time period where it would be unrealistic. So what do you do? You change the time period to make it make sense. I don’t hate her because she’s black my problem is that it doesn’t make sense.
@@socks9024 you did not read what I said first of all. You have been itching for a comment you can troll but this has to do with being historically accurate to the time period it is supposed to be set in and I proposed a solution change the setting not fire her. The only gripe I really have with her is the creepy giggle she does in all I ask of you. Almost Chucky like and it ruined the song for me. As far as racism goes I have seen actual racist comments further down the feed talking about pasty faced white boys not deserving parts in the show so you should save your comments for that right there.
@@twjr2855 bruh you do know that you don’t have to hate her to be racist right? “i cant be racist because i love this black person” isn’t really a solid excuse. who cares about “historical accuracy”? it’s a musical. im pretty sure bursting into song at random times of the day is also historically inaccurate but no one gets mad at the existence of musicals
We just did a Phantom of the Opera MEDLEY music video on our channel! Performed and sang by us :) Would love the support from this community!! Let's all celebrate the return of Broadway and the 35th anniversary!! Thumbs up if you enjoyed!
congratulations to everyone at phantom for FINALLY casting a poc christine! well done! only took your 35 years! congrats! edit: please read @Keetard sub comment!
@@1pureboy1 Hmm. That Belle and Christine are two very different characters from two completely different musicals. B was talking about Christine- not Belle.
@@colonyofrats4193 OP nor you have a point. Casting most definitely should not be done by quotas, and saying that she was given the role because she's a PoC is reductive, as her tremendous skill is why she got the role. Ever heard that wokes and racists would likely get on?
Can anyone who watched this show confirm that the Christine here doesn't just vibrato her way through every word of every song? Beautiful voice but from what I could find of her singing, that's all I could hear.
I wish Broadway would release the pro-shots of these plays. They don't because they think people won't want to spend money going to a show in New York or the Broadway On Tours. But I beg to differ. Yes, I would totally buy the pro-shots. But you can bet Killian Donnelly's sweet ass I'd spring for tickets for the tour shows. Hell, I watched a bootleg of Anastasia with my daughter and in two weeks we are going to see it in Little Rock! I've got the 25th anniversary of Les Mis and Phantom. And I've seen the tour of both and gotten merch from the tours! A live show just hits differently. There's an electricity to the air, a joy at seeing it live. No, if you ask me, they wouldn't lose money, they'd gain money. Consider it as whetting your audience's appetite for what is to come.
I went to see the show and Lucy was so amazing! Also with Rhys as Raoul it was the first time I've actually liked Raoul as a character - he portrayed him perfectly I think. I'll be honest though, I'm not 100% sure on Killian as the phantom.
@@mutantin6560 on the first word, Masquerade, the choreography is to pass your hand vertically in front of your face, like a mask. Gillian Lynne insisted that thumbs must be tucked in, so only 4 fingers are showing.
@@InvuNOT2 the 25th anniversary was amazing with Sarah and Ramin but 10 years later I’m excited to see what they bring it the table for the 35th anniversary ; one plus is they brought back the chandelier crash form the original broadway version instead of just displaying pyrotechnics around the chandelier which was a massive disappointment in my case
I really hope they release a professional recording of this, just like the 25th anniversary. I'd buy it in a heartbeat
Yeah im hoping for it so much a lot of people would be happy
right? i would totally buy it!!
i’ve rewatched the 25th anniversary 84937383838 times (not complaining tho) so another one in my collection would be a bit of fresh air!
@@filidolphini Totally agree!
Omg, me too! I already have the 25th one I absolutely adore it, but this one would make my collection truly especial
I do hope a slime tutorial comes out of this , it was so good
Same i love those tutorials
Ssssshhhh 😂

What
@@fandomencounter1672 it a another way of saying bootleg recording of musical xD
Christine’s masquerade costume looks a little different but I actually love the change
I believe all the Christine masquerade costumes vary between productions
@@thomasconnolly6742 They vary, but Lucy's star princess is one hell of ugly variation. Holly's and Anouk's are actually great comparing to her's.

I love the chemistry between Raoul and Christine here!! I wish I could be in London...
Right they're so cute. Love this Raoul, he's normally so unlikeable.
I saw them both in August and the way they do All I Ask Of You is so cute! They have so much chemistry together
The understudy for Christine was amazing for this performance too.

Extra kick in the gut is that they're using the 27 person recording in this trailer for the 14 person production....!
I can't get over Ramin as the phantom, but we certainly looks like a wonderful cast
He's my favorite phantom too ❤️
Christine's emotion blooming at "all i ask of you" was perfect 😍😍😍

no matter how many times I hear it, the iconic melody of PotO always hits me and gives me chills
I was nervous about what her wig would look like, but it’s gorgeous!
This is my high school’s musical this year, and as a ballet student, I’m so excited because we’re finally doing a musical with my style of dance!
She’s GORGEOUS omg. Perfect casting. Omg I’m freaking out. Their voices WOW
UGHHHHHH that music coming in at the beginning ALWAYS gets me. I still remember the first time I saw it live and suddenly the chandelier dropped and the music started and it was just AMAZING

That would only work if they had a full orchestra. It needs to be grand and sweeping. None of this digital reduction and cutting orchestra size…

What’s the lost dress I’ve been a Phantom fan for many years and I’ve never heard of that if you could shed some light here lol
The Costumes absolutely blew me away , especially in Masquerade !! Loving the cast too!
⭐👄⭐
With the travel conditions right now I might never have chance to see this cast! I wish this could release a DVD! I will definitely pay to see this!
This is absolutely a Spectacular Trailer. Sooo well done ❤💥❤💥❤

I got to see these performers! Amazing a night to remember always!
Oh goodness, how do you like a video more than once??? This looks absolutely gorgeous
Never loses its magic!
This is a must see, amazing cast, I'm not usually one for musicals but she stole my heart and made me cry with how beautiful her voice is
Ok, I really need this cast's DVD!
Seeing this show in person is LIFE CHANGING!! 😍😍🎭
YESSSS god this looks good. Congrats to this Christine on looking and sounding gorgeous as well
I mean, I'm not digging her, but I wish her the best.

I can’t wait to see it on stage again!
*that skull mask is just* **chefs kiss** *absolutely spot on*
I love the mix of classic costume designs with new ones.
I saw phantom about 1 week ago on the west end and it was amazing I really hope they realise a professional recording
She's BROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do like the new trailer for The Phantom of the Opera in the West End at Her Majesty's Theatre in London and I will be seeing it again in 2022

The 1 thing the 25th aniversary can't do is making the chandalier falls, and Im looking foward to that in this production
True but with limitations they had they did a pretty good job but yeah it crashing to the stage is a major part of the musical even the original 1986 cast chandelier drop was amazing
Boy, I'd buy this.
I looooooooooove this show! ALW still making bangers 35 years later, everyone should check out his newest musical, Cinderella!
