It must be really strange for Ramin, he is a better phantom than Colm now but Colm was the one who inspired him. It must feel amazing for Ramin to not only play the phantom at this but then have Colm come on at the end and sing it with him even if he has aged a lot Colm still managed to pull a worthy performance. This video makes me happy :)
Michael admitted in a recent interview that the pressure to sing was too great. He hasn't sung like that in awhile - he said he is going to take voice lessons after Wizard. If he does, maybe he'll get that other voice back (he refers to it as his other voice) and we will here him sing Phantom songs again.
Michael Crawford is currently playing the Wizard in the Wizard of Oz in London, so he was probably unable to rehearse or just simply didn't want to sing. I wish he gave us a reason though, I would have loved to have seen him sing the songs again!
Im full of respect for Musical Theatre performers, good, bad , mediocre lead characters supporting cast or ensemble. To be able to do many shows , sometimes even many days. I respect the fact that filming can take days and is mentally and physically draining but the raw talent in Theatre ranging from the likes of Phantom and Les Miserables to Spring Awakening is indescribable.
@LissyDu yeah i remember seeing him sing at the 25th anniversary of les mis with Colm and he was just in awe of the man. and Colm seemed to draw strength from Ramin, like he was re-inspired. it was so great to see.
@RosesNightengales Anthony Warlow is the bald Austrailian dude, and the yound looking guy was Peter Joback, the new Phantom when Earl and JOJ have to perform the UK tour.
@punkstoper He was either unable to rehearse to be part of the concert or has simply lost his voice with old age. It's been a while since he performed publicly and he has not recorded since the early 2000's.
Has Ramin ever played the phantom in the U.S before?

@DrinkOmally And now that he is playing Jean Valjean in Les miserables, his full dream has come true!! Remember that Colm was the first Valjean!

I love how Ramin is singing with one of his idols, Colm Wilkinson (is it just me or does Colm look really proud of Ramin????)
