I think people come back to see it so much because a small part of them are always hoping that Christine will go with the Phantom, even though she never does, and that kind of heart-wrenching beauty is something people want to experience again and again no matter how painful it is.
I saw this at OCPAC in April...Sarah Lawrence was Christine...she played the part so well and her voice was light, unlike the other Christines who sing the part as if they were Carlotta.
Jason Mills didn't impress me that much...too whiny and didn't play it up as much as past Phantoms such as Brad Little. It's hard to explain I guess. He just didn't have a lot of variation with his character.
I saw sarah. amazing! I saw Stephen Tewksbury as the phantom though. He was becoming the principal phantom at the time. He was amazing! I think there's clips of him on youtube.
ideal christines are sarah brightman rebecca caine siera boggess kisa vroman...people with clear, beautiful voices, that aren't shrill and piercing. it should have vibratto, but sholdn't be totally overpowering, but shouldn't be airy.
I have loved phantom since I was a little girl. I grew up listening to the music, saw the movie so many times. I finally saw the musical this weekend and it blew me away, well worth the wait. I didn't think anyone could come close to Michael Crawford, Jason Mills was just as good, he made me emotional during it which is hard to do. He is a superb phantom!
I saw this today and was extremly happy. I've always loved the phantom of the opera but had only seen the movie. If you liked the movie your going to love the play. I liked it ten times more. Outstanding, I was in ah afterwards. Bravo
saw it last week & was underwhelmed. mills can't carry the show-he just seemed angry.there was no passion & he was difficult to understand.michael crawford, davis gaines & joj all have amazing voices & you can feel every note & every move as the walk across the stage.you are mesmorized & want christine to choose erik.they make you fall in love w/ erik despite his evil.w/ mills there wasn't the enthusiasm in the audience after it was over like if felt w/ mc & davis & no second curtain call.
Now, I haven't heard other Phantoms live, but I would like to say that Jason Mills had an tremendous stage presence and really made me root for the Phantom for all he did. His voice was top-notch, and out of the other voices I've listened to, he seems to capture the phantom best in my opinion. Michael Crawford, really is too high-pitched for such a eerie role and doesn't really come off as a phantom, but more of a Raoul.
I just saw this yesterday on Saturday with my cousin, it was wonderful!!! The music was amazing. The singing was fabulous. The actors and actresses sang with so much emotion. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch it.
It was great. Seen it on Thursday, March 27. They were great. Also, I went to Kost 103.5 radio station and saw Greg Mills and Sara Jean Ford in person. They perform two songs and answered a lot of fan questions. They are very funny too. :D
i saw jason mills as the phantom! ok seriously, i've been out of phantom for so long, i didn't even know john cuida was gone! thats sad : ( but jason was pritty good, saw him as understudy on broadway.

Jason Mills was one of the best Phantom's I've seen on stage yet! Probably even better than Ted Keegan
