How I wish there were really clear quality videos of Michael in this role, like we are able to see for others. The best ever, love his voice. Never saw him, but fell in love with him for the original audio soundtracks in the 90’s ❤️❤️❤️
Agreed about the time machine thing! I’ll just borrow some of my mom’s old clothes from the 80s (to blend in, ya know?) but bring my phone and take high-quality videos of these older casts! I’d still have to be discreet because of the phone’s light, but ushers wouldn’t know to look for them since cell phones with built-in cameras didn’t exist yet.
Thank you so much for posting this. Gave me goosebumps hearing these two again. I feel really fortunate to have been there in the early days of this show. Maria was wonderful in this role and though there have been many stunning phantoms since, none have sounded as hauntingly ghostly and vulnerable or appeared as (to use a famous quote) 'suavely romantic and gorgeously spectral' as Michael Crawford.
I agree, imho Maria is the best Christine ever and same thing, I wish it was possible to time-travel and see her life! Too bad there’s so few recordings of hers…
Michael Crawford will always be my favorite Phantom, for his ethereal voice just haunts the soul. Maria is wonderful, and I like her better than Brightman or Dale Kristien.
Yep! I might decide to put that up eventually, but today and in the near future I have two full recordings of him going up, also from final shows of his.

Michael’s AIAOY reprise after PONR is just magical, every time. No one drills those high notes better than Michael, except maybe Gary Mauer

Pure perfection. Thanks for posting.

Do you have John Owen Jones final show on the uk tour?
