Bring me out of my ignorance. What is the Cast for this? Last year I was commenting arround on recording The Phantom with the Love Never Dies cast, but... this isn't that, right? xD
Is the DVD out in the USA now? I want to go find it for my younger brother who has autism but he loves the broadway version and the 2004 movie version
This is one of the Best Musical Play I've ever seen, from start to finished, Thumbs Up for Andrew Lyod Webber and the whole cast. especially the end credits when i think the former cast of phantom of the opera sings. especially my all time favorite SARAH BRIGHTMAN.
I was given the Blu-Ray and DVD combo for Christmas- best present I've ever received. Was also handed a pair to tickets to see it on Broadway next year too!!! I hope Ramin is playing the Phantom- he is amazing. I cry everytime at the end...
@UchihaHelena I just got to go up to NY in November for my birthday to see it...its completely mind blowing. Iv watched the 25th anniversary video and although its amazing on its own the real thing will blow you away! Also, Hugh Panaro was Erik when I seen it but oh no worries, just wear water proof make up....
I have the one with Webber wearing the blue shirt. From the up-loaded vids YouTube, there is apparantly also one with him wearing a white shirt. I saw the blue shirt live myself. And the blue shirt dvd is the best. Better camera angles, the curtain call is better, ie: the phantoms, the fact that Sarah comes back on, etc.
@MrReed314 The Saturday performance with Lloyd Webber in a pink shirt, not white, was the better closing of the show as it wasn't rehearsed. This was Lloyd Webber at his best .. stammerig ... looking for words ... saying that Cameron Mackintosh was mad. Of course, Colm lso missed his cue ....
The Sunday performance with the worldwide broadcast, he obviously was reading mechanically from a teleprompter.
At the final performance of Love Never Dies at the Adelphi he also was unrehearsed and pure.
I watched this in the theater today, but I like the movie much more than this....the makeup and the stage are not that good....the singing and music, however, it's good
FYI - the 25th anniversary DVD that this clip is supposedly advertising really is radically different to the clips of the proper stage show shown at the start. The chandelier crashing etc ... it doesn't even crash in the 25th anniversary production. Sparks fly off it it. That's it. The staging is completely different.
Just back from seeing this at the cinema...it's the best performance of Phantom I've ever seen - so much emotion all in HD..touching, passionate, moving...I loved it!
my sister is gonna be Christine in the star princess dress my other sister is gonna be the Phantom im gonna be Christine in the All I Ask Of You cloak ^^
Now I have to ask - is this an actual staged version with the actors doing the dialogue and motion etc, or is it more like a "concert" where they just stand up, sing their bit, then go onto the next song? Either way it's got Ramin Karimloo so I won't be disappointed, but I'm wondering what to expect :)
Actually, I want this DVD AND a DVD of a performance at Her Majesty's Theatre, so that the latter can include the EPIC -- !!! -- falling chandelier :D
...unless someone can transport me to London whenever I want so I can be in the actual theatre again -- once is not enough! Dear, I need a TARDIS... or even just a vortex manipulator :)
Saw this in the cinema last night... it was absobloodylutely brilliant. I'm in Australia and just ordered the commemorative bluray set for my father back in the UK... and just remembered he doesn't have a bluray player. Bugger, I'll have to nag my family to get him one for Xmas! :D
Anyway as soon as it's released her in Australia I'll be in to get it. It was just *so* good. Sierra's voice was just superb! :)
@johnyzero2000 I can say that I haw only seen it in my home country. But I loved it very much and my big dream is to see it in London. But I saw it one the stage before the movie and people like often what they see first rather than the second chose.
@johnyzero2000 The Stage is a masterpiece compared to the movie. that being said, it really depends on the cast . even with the worst cast it's still amazing but with a good cast it's incredible.
I saw this in theaters, and hearing Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterpiece in surround sound was simply indescribable! I get goosebumps just thinking about it :)
gutted the chandelier didnt fall. got could stop laughing and then when sierra came out with this heavy welsh accent. omfg! couldnt breath "NO! Raool dont... its uselas."
I was disappointed that the stage was so small and that little elements of the show were taken out. The mirror when Christine faints, the elephant and most importantly the chandelier was very disappointing. Sierra WAS amazing. She is beautiful in so many ways and Ramin was wonderful. I would buy this still since Sierra and Ramin totally make up for it.
Don't let the preview fool you this show is nothing like the actual stage show. its completely different well the writing is the same but the sets is not the same its all led and the chandelier doesnt even crash
Was at Royal Albert Hall last night!!!!!! Suffice to say it was one of the best nights of my life. The concert exceeds almost every expectation. Ramin and Sierra were at their best!!! Never seen a Final Lair so tragic or a Wishing so deep, passionate, and beautiful!!!!!!! Love love love love love. Also, MC and SB COME OUT ON STAGE WITH ANDREW!!!
@larrycucumber001 It definitely is Sierra. I just saw it in the movie theater last night! Check your local listings. There are more showings in select theaters, today (Oct. 6) and Oct. 11. Sierra and Ramin are just mesmerizing together. I've never seen such a touching final lair scene. I had to stifle my sobs so I didn't bother the people around me. This is a must see and really the only disappointment was that the Royal Albert Hall stage being smaller, they had to leave out the chandelier crash
AT LAST! thanks for coming to senses and releasing the best musical ever on DVD!! sorry, but the movie version simply can't put up with the brilliant stage production! I am so looking forward for getting this : )
@operaghostit oh I completely agree!!! It's so sad they didn't use stage actors for the movie!!! Apparently they were supposed to film it with Michael Crawford (love) and Sarah Brightman but the scheduling never worked out and they postponed it until Hollywood /the director thought they were too old : (
@lindzz51690 They are perfoming the show. I dunno if it was like the normal show, but they were definately singing, dancing, acting. I believe only the scenery
was different.
But Í'm nog entirely sure because i haven't seen the actual show.
@asirenfromthedeep Yes, it was staged differently than the Broadway/London/national tour version. The Royal Albert Hall is gorgeous but the size of the stage meant they couldn't have certain set pieces, like the elephant, or the chandelier crash, which was the most disappointing. But the cast was unbelievable and it was so worth seeing. Also, if you ever can manage it, try to see the live show!
I just saw this today via Fandango Events in Florida. The entire production was perfect! I was blown away by the performancs of Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo. They brought me to tears! The final and extra performances of the evening was intense and exquisitely perfect!!!! I am definitely buying this when it comes out on DVD!
Someone just told me that the DVD is region 2 only. Is this true? If anyone knows please let me know. Region 2 means the DVD only works in Europe (correct me if I'm wrong)
Has anyone found out for definite that they are performing the musical normally? I really really don't want to hear them sing without acting out the entire production.
@MisterCrolla It's the 25th Anniversary concert which will be filmed. It's on the press release on the Phantom official website. I cannot contain my excitement!
I was slightly disappointed to hear that Ramin and Sierra were going to play the leads. They are good, but ideal (in my mind. I know a lot of people love them). Hopefully, the concert will be phantabulous! ALW needs some saving face after the LND disaster...
Although I was disappointed with the choices for the leads (really, JOJ is London's CURRENT and LONGEST-RUNNING Phantom), I am really hoping and crossing my fingers that this turns out to be good. I have been waiting for years for something like this, and if it goes the way of Les Mis, then...I have no hope for musical theatre ever adapting to screen.
@MissAliGrace I was hoping for him and Gina Beck. that would have been amazing. although, Ramin and Sierra are still good, and I could see the thought process in selecting them...
@JeepeeB I did see the movie version, actually. Many times. I was very disappointed, especially with Gerard Butler as the Phantom. He was a good actor and everything, but his voice...bleh. The movie just didn't live up to the stage version for me. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. :)
OH MY GOD!! Hallelujah! Finally a stage production DVD! And with Sierra and Ramin (The greatest interpreters of Erik and Christine after Sarah and Michael-if you ask me) to boot!
The Phantom is having such a wonderful year! The spectacular Australian production of Love Never Dies, with its own DVD upcoming, and the 15th anniversary of Phantom in London. Do I need to say any more?
OH MY GOD!!!! I must buy this!!! Phantom is having a wonderful year! Thea Australian premiere and DVD of Love Never Dies, the 25th anniversary gala and with Sierra and Ramin to boot! I can't wait!!!
*dies of excitement* but please be better than les mis, actually have acting rather than just standing there. i will kill to play christine when im older haha .... :)
Why do you always show the ramin karimloo/gina beck footage? i hope its nothing like the 25th les mis concert lets hope it lives up to every fans expectations can not wait for the cinema viewing and the dvd
@Phantomgoast They probably show that footage because it's the best and most recent footage they have, it's of the London cast, and it has Ramin Karimloo in it.
@Phantomgoast The Ramin Karimloo footage is being shown because he is the Phantom in this production. They don't have footage of Ramin with Sierra in The Phantom of the Opera yet, which is why we see Gina here.
GOSH.
I freaking love Ramin.

@jonniephantom They are a little old to pull off their respective role. I think the best we will ever have is their concerts and music videos.

I thought it was going to be Sierra and Ramin. Those two are amaing, but LND was just not their show.
Either way, so excited! :D

I was slightly disappointed to hear that Ramin and Sierra were going to play the leads. They are good, but ideal (in my mind. I know a lot of people love them). Hopefully, the concert will be phantabulous! ALW needs some saving face after the LND disaster...

I'm a little confused- is this a concert event like Les Mis or an actual staging of the show??

This. I will be watching every single day.

Although I was disappointed with the choices for the leads (really, JOJ is London's CURRENT and LONGEST-RUNNING Phantom), I am really hoping and crossing my fingers that this turns out to be good. I have been waiting for years for something like this, and if it goes the way of Les Mis, then...I have no hope for musical theatre ever adapting to screen.

@MissAliGrace I was hoping for him and Gina Beck. that would have been amazing. although, Ramin and Sierra are still good, and I could see the thought process in selecting them...

@carihigs then you never saw the official movie version of the show...same awesomeness imho.

@JeepeeB I did see the movie version, actually. Many times. I was very disappointed, especially with Gerard Butler as the Phantom. He was a good actor and everything, but his voice...bleh. The movie just didn't live up to the stage version for me. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. :)

OH MY GOD!! Hallelujah! Finally a stage production DVD! And with Sierra and Ramin (The greatest interpreters of Erik and Christine after Sarah and Michael-if you ask me) to boot!
The Phantom is having such a wonderful year! The spectacular Australian production of Love Never Dies, with its own DVD upcoming, and the 15th anniversary of Phantom in London. Do I need to say any more?

Why do you always show the ramin karimloo/gina beck footage? i hope its nothing like the 25th les mis concert lets hope it lives up to every fans expectations can not wait for the cinema viewing and the dvd
Phantomgoast 5 months ago 14
@Phantomgoast They probably show that footage because it's the best and most recent footage they have, it's of the London cast, and it has Ramin Karimloo in it.
PrismsofGlass 5 months ago
@Phantomgoast The Ramin Karimloo footage is being shown because he is the Phantom in this production. They don't have footage of Ramin with Sierra in The Phantom of the Opera yet, which is why we see Gina here.
