I really don’t care for the debate on who the best Phantom/Christine is, I just think they all have a beautiful, unique quality that they each bring to the table and I love all of them ❤️
That's what I usually go off of. If there's the right balance of power, anger, and a slight subtlety behind it, that's how you know this guy is going to be good or it'll be a good night
10/10 recommend checking out Anthony Warlow’s version from Australia (original, when he was the youngest phantom ever, in the 1990s - like 1993/4; second, older in the 2007/9 range). That & “Wandering Child” and his “Final Lair” is just haunting. Hugh is fantastic, of course.
The fact that Hugh can hold the notes so much longer then he needs to is just incredible especially in music of the night! It’s like he sings while breathing but doesn’t break to take a breath!! Incredible
That unmasking scene is just brutal. The way he kneels down to propose to her (I haven’t seen that in any other version) and then she goes in to kiss him but rips off the mask. Utter betrayal.
This is the first time I've ever cried watching POTO. Hugh's singing "Masquerade" as Christine left was so innocent it truly showed how broken this character truly is. And his "Christine, I love you" was so sweet. He made me see the poor, broken, lonely soul hiding beneath all the violence and manipulation. He broke my heart. No other Phantom has done that. I'll have to seek out more of his work. I'll buy an industrial size box of Kleenex first lol.

38:00 his belong (to me) is just indescribable. Oh Hughie. He and this Christine are a beautiful pairing. He walks the perfect line between incredibly seductive yet awkwardly obsessive and this close to madness. Epitome of the original character. 😍😍😍 thank you for this.
Crawford, D'Ambrosio, and Panaro. All original. All exceptional. All powerful Phantoms. Thank you to the uploader. This is gold. Panaro has an overall good energy about him and he has a powerful stage presence.
Christine be dirty with that fake kiss to reveal what's under that mask!!!! I love this play on the phantom! He's a person who was bullied and tormented to his looks. So much so he's become insane with love and rage when the one person he thought loved him for him betrays him in his mind. The sounds of "my angel" and "I love you" hurt so much
Not since Crawford have i loved a Phantom as much as Hugh. i absolutely love his mentally deranged, creepy performance. It fits with Kay's Phantom and Hugh becomes one with the character. You can tell he absolutely loves this role. Other actors are great, of course, but they don't really offer much infividuality to their interpretation of Eric. A lot of them are paint-by-numbers with their performances, only offering a distinction with their vocal range and pitch. Crawford brought an almost ethereal, ghostly presence to his performance. Hugh brings a psychotic dark Joker type humor to the part. Other phantoms, while good, are, in my mind, forgettable. Again, they offer good performances and vocals, but they kinda go through the motions and don't leave a lasting impact. Totally cool if others feel differently. We all have different tastes and preferences. :) These are just mine. I'm disappointed that i never got to see Hugh live. He's an absolutely amazing actor. There's just something about tenors.
the dog at the end?? i- perfect vibes from this phantom. i don’t like most phantoms because they play him as creepy and stuck up but he played the phantom as insecure and truly did amazing
So interesting how here in the States, Raoul says YOU FOOL to the Guy shooting The Phantom from the pit. However in the UK productions, he says YOU IDIOT.
Yes he is very creepy. Extremely creepy. Michael Crawford gave me the heebie-jeebies too, at first...then he hit the second A flat. Hugh makes it sound like that’s on the lower end of his range, like it’s casual. In the best way. STYDI is amazing, “ideal” is a hoot, and I haven’t even hit his chandelier giggle yet. Okay, sign me up for a slice of this! ETA: somewhere someone commented on him whispering “I love you” and “I hate you” at the end of the final lair. I think it isn’t “I hate you” but “my angel.” I can’t find the comment. :/
Creepy is correct though. Everyone seems to forget the original character. I think if he creeped you out just a little, then he did his job perfectly! Both Michael and Hugh encapsulated this, so love your comment❤️❤️
Thanks for posting this! After watching Hugh's performance i was so obsessed, my dream at some point was to gain enough money so I can afford to have him sing live for me everyday! 😂 (not in an insulting way)
I'm a trans man and the way I chose my name was actually thanks to this bootleg. I've been Hugo (taking inspiration from Hugh) for more than a year and it has been the best thing ever
Hugh vc é realmente perfeito em todos os sentidos. Que presença de palco é essa minha gente! Hugh como sempre dando um show tanto na atuação impecável como na voz perfeita. Ele faz parecer que é muito fácil cantar as músicas dessa peça, quando na verdade é extremamente difícil, mas ele com seu alcance vocal fabuloso faz parecer que é tudo tão fácil. Ele em music of the night e no Final lair é divino. O jeito que ele caminha tão seguro de si pelo palco, exatamente como o fantasma deve ser.
O Hugh com o Soot no final ❤❤... muito fofo! Assim eu não aguento. O que eu posso dizer? Eu amo o Hugh demais. Eu li o livro da Susan Kay por causa dele... chorei praticamente o livro todo. Ele tem uma voz linda e a atuação dele é um show à parte. Não tenho palavras para descrever o talento desse homem. Amo muito o Hughie ❤❤
Tb amo demais o Hugh Panaro. Ainda bem que tem gente que não fica doida pelo Ramin kkkkkkk.... em praticamente todos os vídeos que vejo no youtube do Fantasma da ópera, as garotas só falam de Ramin pra cá Ramin pra lá.... é cansativo kkkkk Ele nem é um dos meus fantasmas favoritos e olha que tenho vários fantasmas favoritos. O Hugh tá entre os meus TOP fantasmas. Ele é tudo de bom.
@@luciana20764 Sempre bom encontrar mais pessoas que amam o Hugh! O Ramin pra mim é normal... não é extraordinário. Ele tb não está entre os meus favoritos. Tem dois fantasmas empatados em primeiro lugar pra mim: Hugh Panaro e Davis Gaines. Em segundo lugar tem uns trocentos empatados kk... vou citar alguns dos meus favoritos: James Romick, Ted Keegan, Gary Mauer, Stephen Buntrock, Brad Little, John Cudia, Geronimo Rauch, Michael Crawford, Ben Lewis, Thomas James O' Leary, Thomas Borchert, Ian Jon Bourg, etc.
I do wonder how strange it would be if his cape got stuck to his suit and he had to take the suit off and then be there singing in his white tuxedo and black vest
Is the platform they’re walking on during Phantom of the Opera like the one from Sierra & Ramin’s performance, like is it high off the stage? Would that make the people walking on it body doubles?
@@thefonzkiss well, I said there's only doubles until then, unless you mean the singing, in which case for most performances it would be basically the whole thing because Christine's not hitting that e6 every night Idk if verse 4 would be since they're on the boat for that iirc, but I mean... If everything else is, what's the point otherwise-
@@lesmiserablesfantome-ygood1922 Davis Gaines is one of my favorites too. I saw him multiple times. Thank you for your kindness. I’m grateful for your channel. Will check out your website too!
There are two videos of TJO, one of them is full so I'll be posting that one. I'm sorry to say there are no further videos of Dave Willetts, there are plenty of soundboards however and I'd be happy to post one of those
thank you for this! Hugh Panaro is probably one of my least fav of the phantoms, he's just too Pennywise the Clown for me 😂😂😂 but I love this Christine!
I actually find he slurs notes (scooping?) too much lol. Like his diction + pitch is off/sloppy when he starts notes a lot of the time and that just puts me off him a bit. He was better in older bootlegs I think
Loud ringing noise early on, does that continue throughout? And the video pretty jumpy, I’ll stick with it and see!. Video doesn’t improve, it’s jumpy and sounds like filmer is eating chips right next to the camera! Yes I’m a complainer. Cast is good though.
It’s a bootleg- it’s ain’t gonna be proffesional 😅 their trying to watch the show and record it without getting kicked out so this is the best you’re gonna get.
That dog was loved like crazy on that stage. Lots of pets and hugs. He didn't look stressed at all. He's probably been to many performances. He's a good boy and Hugh clearly loves him a lot.
Not a fan of Hugh, (at least he's marginally better than Paul Stanley) but at least we have these recording to remember the great original, after the go woke, go broke fiasco closed the show down
Trying to figure out how the Phantom "went woke" because we've had black Phantoms, but everyone lost their minds with a black Christine. Can't remember the girls name, but she was good. People made a big stink when it closed because they assumed it was from "muh racisim" and not the lockdown and inflation that's been killing the shows.

I really don’t care for the debate on who the best Phantom/Christine is, I just think they all have a beautiful, unique quality that they each bring to the table and I love all of them ❤️
I also love all of them, the Phantom reinterpreted in different ways, always a surprise
He's brilliant. Seductive and menacing and unhinged all at once.
You can generally tell a good phantom from His "insolent boy" and by god Hugh's is unmatched.
That's what I usually go off of. If there's the right balance of power, anger, and a slight subtlety behind it, that's how you know this guy is going to be good or it'll be a good night
CORRECT!!! I always say this!!!
This is funny to me. 😂I usually go by the phantom’s first line in the theme song.
10/10 recommend checking out Anthony Warlow’s version from Australia (original, when he was the youngest phantom ever, in the 1990s - like 1993/4; second, older in the 2007/9 range). That & “Wandering Child” and his “Final Lair” is just haunting. Hugh is fantastic, of course.
@@jdb8671 I’ve seen that version! Anthony is a legend. His Jekyll and Hyde is also amazing.
33:11 I love his crazy smile and how he touches his hair when he asks her to sing for him.
They all do that. I've seen it over a hundred times with about 10 different phantoms, it's literally what they are supposed to do
@@KimberlyBelvedere Hugh adds a child-like element to it that is unlike other Phantoms.
@@KimberlyBelvedereThey don't...

Hugh is one of my favorite phantoms because his voice is high and you can see from his acting that he was very attentive to this role
Hugh Panaro is the absolute best Phantom when it comes to acting performance, PERIOD.
32:41 that little brush of his hand to her cheek is everything omg
I'm in love with Hugh Panaro's voice. Feelings...
I know, no words, right ? ❤️
@@mml5296 Not one word but perfection ♥
I think I saw an interview before where Hugh Panoro said he read Kay’s phantom and...I can totally see it he’s very reminiscent of Erik in that novel.
Oh yes ❤️
the way he's so proud and happy at 2:02:41 - 2:02:46 brings me to tears and how he whispers my angel! Oh my god I was like "My heart :("
38:00 his belong (to me) is just indescribable. Oh Hughie. He and this Christine are a beautiful pairing. He walks the perfect line between incredibly seductive yet awkwardly obsessive and this close to madness. Epitome of the original character. 😍😍😍 thank you for this.
Its was like full of passion and subtil note at the same time
He's the best, for sure. Him and Gary Mauer are my favorites. Gary felt so much more "wounded", but I loved Hugh for his "joker"esque characteristics.
He’s such a fun quirky Phantom at times, especially in parts of his final lair! ❤️
i love hugh's mirror entrance so much
Crawford, D'Ambrosio, and Panaro. All original. All exceptional. All powerful Phantoms. Thank you to the uploader. This is gold. Panaro has an overall good energy about him and he has a powerful stage presence.
i truly cannot express how in love i am with everything about Hugh,, he brings my heart so much joy that i almost can’t bear it
Christine be dirty with that fake kiss to reveal what's under that mask!!!! I love this play on the phantom! He's a person who was bullied and tormented to his looks. So much so he's become insane with love and rage when the one person he thought loved him for him betrays him in his mind. The sounds of "my angel" and "I love you" hurt so much
I want to kiss you passionately for posting the full show😭
I'll never get over 32:38
Seriously. The way he caresses her so gently.
The first Phantom I ever got to see back in 2004. One of my favorites.
the person saying "I cried" at the very very end is so real
LMAO SOMEONE SCREAMED WHEN THE OVERTURE CAME ON
Good god, it's as if the joker and phantom become one, lol. Good performance! I just wished I could watch it in person ૮₍˶╥﹏╥ ⑅₎ა
Thankfully there are videos like this with the original unadulterated staging and choreography.
39:00 Hugh grabs the mirror bride's hand. Never noticed anyone else do that.
Hugh was my first live Phantom AND my first Broadway show ever
HUGH PANARO!!! 😢❤️😢❤️
