I was meaning to order it but saw it at the store and picked it up. My youngest nephew*10* saw it and he remembered me dressing up to see the show. I was watching the dvd alone and he heard the overture and was captured by it. he sat through the whole thing. Cutest thing is he said,'if I can buy tickets can you come with me. I have money in my piggy bank.' ^_^
I just watched this on Blu Ray and it was amazing. Not a concert like the Les Miserables anniversary shows but a live performance. The only (slight) disappointment was that the chandelier doesn't rise nor does it crash but that was a minor setback because the performances are incredible.
@surferdude3451 so do i. My mum was like if you keep on watching it then you will hate it but i have had it since christmas and i still love it. - My mumj was impressed. when i am older i am going to be a westend theatre actress
What satisfaction....FINALLY the true staged version of the play. I have wanted this for over 20 years! It totally captured the spirit and feel of the stage, unlike the 2004 movie version. The chemistry and acting is superb, and so is the music/orchestrations. I am so satisfied...its like good sex!
..I'm guessing those people saying about Feb 7th live across the pond? I got this for christmas and is without a doubt the bestest christmas present I got. Love Ramin.
Definately my favorite Erik and Christine. They're both beautiful, amazing voices, wonderful actors and they put so much emotion into it. Phenomenal. I cannot wait to get the dvd.
Ramin is the best phantom for me because of his sweet & passion voice(?) and Sierra is a really really good actress!!;') I watched it two times but it's not enough!!!!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH T_T
i know its bad but i watched online i couldnt wait til feb 7th! itwas soooooo amazing!! i cant even explain I am in awe!! ramin is perfection, so much emotion! hadley and sierra are superb as well!!
When you think about it, these 2 have been together for a very long time...They did a run of POTO in Vegas, and one of LND in Australia, and now this...There are some interviews on YouTube of them on LND. They sure do look young. Check that out!
I fell in love with the Phantom when I first heard Michael Crawford's version of it... For years, it was as though no other phantom could compare. My ears bled when I heard Gerard Butler try and pull it off.
And now... well done Ramin. You have reached the heights of Michael Crawford amazingness. Well done indeed.
I don't know WHO it is (I think it's Meg) but I HATE the person who is trying to get her voice out there and heard during the 2 chorus lines before 'In all your fantasies...' because, unbeknownst to her, she is incredibly flat.
@Monkeyballmania OMG I'd never realized before reading your comment and now all I can do is pay attention to it when I get to that part ;) Don't try to belt it if it's too high for you...
@WeirdButNotInsane YES!!! Sierra and Ramin are by far my most favored Phantom and Christine since the show opened! (I'm not that old, but I've watched all I can. :P) Now, once my acting career starts if I can make it to playing the Phantom I'll be very happy! ;)
i keep watching this, over and over and over again. i cant stop! i cant wait till Febuary 7th, i already have the $ for it put away so i wont send it till then.
I am going to get hate for this but i am not sure if I saw a different version in October because listening to Ramin in clips taken from the show I cannot stand him as Erik but I liked him that day...perhaps it was just seeing the show again...sorta that I liked not him
I wish I watched it when it was showing, but I Iive too far from the UK. I was also busy when it showed at the movie theaters in my area. I can't wait for the DVD (which comes out in February for my country)!
Well, what can I say? WHAT A SHOW! :) I couldn't get to sleep for ages on the night i'd watched it, partially cuz the songs kept going around my head and the also the fact that the phantom wasn't beside me played a part aha ;)... but how can you care about sleep when you've just laid eyes upon such a musical masterpiece?! :L
Just bought this DVD. Can't wait for it to arrive! Saw the show live streaming in my cinema on the night, and then again at a re-screening with friends recently. Brilliant both times, truly phenomenal performances! :O :D Goosebumps all the way through. :D
@somegalfromcan I don't think it is. The mask in the stage show has never been a 'tight right up against the skin' fit - there's always been a bit of a 'gap' in some places (most likely to allow for the prosthetic makeup as well as so that Christine is able to rip it off when necessary without damaging said makeup)
I wish I lived in the UK. I wish I had money to buy Phantom25. Or better yet, the deluxe fancy edition for Santa Ramin Karimloo and his Cute Irish Elf Helper Killian Donnelly.
BUT NO I HAVE TO WAIT FOUR MORE MONTHS BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!
@GuyverFan95 I think all three performances were filmed (from my understanding) - at the very least both evening performances were filmed, plus I'm sure all cameras were recording at all times. So they had a lot of footage to pick and choose from to edit together for the DVD release.
@2010shamz I do hope you're joking, because Ramin's voice is a million times better than Gerard Butler's and that is what should be judged, not looks.
This is the definitive Phantom,not just the Andrew Lloyd Webber version,but of the original Gaston Leroux story.
