I personally think it fits more where they put it in the movie, but either way the phantom of the opera is amazing, I love this movie. I think its cool they actually put all the effort into actually crashing it, it payed off. :)
All you nay sayers about it crashing in act 1, first off, that's ALW's ORIGINAL placement, get over it. And if you were actually a fan of the story, you'd realize, Masquarade STARTS the book, and the chandelier isn't fallen in either of these two events. Get over it! The movie sucked btw!
@The1andOnlyCG But then it wouldn't have been as realistic and it probably wouldn't have achieved the desired effect the creators of the movie were going for.
i liked it better when then crashed it on the movie (end of point of no return) i hate that they crash it at the end of act one i dont get why they do! but i still am in love with the show!
Wait-- I saw it in San Francisco two years ago, and they crashed the chandelier after Past the Point of No Return. Do they only do the crash in act 1 in NYC?
lolz I always wondered what happened to the conductor after he jumped that wall in the movie. He crawls really fast! haha!
And I can't help but laugh when I watch this. Those people were just running all over the place like chickens with their heads cut off. I mean, they're running from 1 side of the theater to the other at 2:10 and running into each other so, I think they'd all kinda be screwed if that chandelier actually crashed O.o
Wtf?! Did they change it since I went to see the stage show in '09? 'Cause the chandelier crashed at the end of Past the Point of No Return when I saw it! It crashed in the audience, then it was sucked back up into the ceiling and we never sawr it again... How could it crash during act one? The end of it is on the roof! *confusion*
@EvanescentWoodNymph I'm guessing you saw it at Las Vegas. Originally in the London production (and still now) the chandelier crashes at the end of act one, after 'All I Ask Of You (reprise)'. However, in the film and at the Las Vegas production, he crashes it after 'Point of No return'. Hope that help! :)
@PhantomPhan05 D: Damn. Once again, I am a cursed Nevadan. So I haven't even seen the show properly yet! I would see it in NYC, but I want to see Love Never Dies (guilty pleasure)- I don't even know how it would seem with the chandelier crashing at AIAoY! Since I've only seen the movie and and Vegas show. -.- I hate Vegas. We're stupid.
@EvanescentWoodNymph I would see Love Never Dies, I've seen it and it's great! :D Don't worry it's not that different it crashing at AIAoY, type it into Youtube (All I ask of you reprise) and there'll be loads! ;)
This was very interesting, I've been looking for a video like that. I just wish there was more information on the stage chandelier. If anyone knows where to find it, I am looking for Maria Bjornsons original schematics for the chandelier. I've only found one image of it online, and it's not that good quality.
@bomby4130 The crashing chandelier was just dismantled and Im sure anything that was usable was kept. The chandelier that was built just for hanging was sold back to Swarovski, who supplied the crystals.
The chandelier crash with the Phantom laughing in scorn so menacingly in the background is a very dramatic moment in the Phantom of the Opera.

They should do the same special effects on stage 8 times a week. It would cost a fortune!

@PhantomPhan05 Also, the chandelier crashes in act one originally because of the book, where he crashes it halfway through.
