  • Lol, Whoopi is a funny woman. Too funny. XD

    So that was the infamous John Cudia, huh? Hmm. Sweet. : D (I'm probably the only person posting on this board who's never seen (or heard) him. >.>;; Or any of the Broadway Phantoms for that matter. Damn. I must get my ass to NY!! >_< Kinda hard when you live in California... ... ...)

  • @hikaruchan16

    I live in Utah - right next door to you, neighbor! (Howdy neighbor!) ;-D

    And yes, you need to go to Broadway to see POTO! (But I also heard that the Vegas production is also quite spectacular - and much more easier for us "westerners" to get to!)

    Wanna take a trip to Vegas? ;-D

  • @GhostGal5 I actually have seen the Vegas version, just this past summer! Then again, Vegas is "right in our backyard", so to speak, so that one was no problem. ^^ (But tickets are EXPENSIVE... : 0) It is quite an interesting experience so I hope you get the chance to see it someday! <3 (Personally, I would gladly see it again! But first I need the money 'cuz right now, I'm kinda broke... ... ...)

  • @hikaruchan16 Hi again!

    Oooh, you lucky person! (I have yet to go to Vegas and see the show - haven't been to "Sin City" since 2001.) And yes, the fact that it's "right in our backyard" really helps a lot!...Not that mind traveling, mind you - I *LOVE* traveling! But like you, my available amount of cash is a little more than strapped right now! LOL! ;-D

  • Ha ha ha ha!! I never even knew about this clip - well, that is until now!...

    I never knew my face could turn so bright red before - from laughing so hard! (I literally had tears rolling down my cheeks! My poor brother who is sitting in the next room, couldn't figure out for the life of him what was causing me to laugh my lungs out!...Will have to show him when he has time!)

    Love, love, *LOVE* the end where John Cudia just gives her this confused/disgusted look, turns, and walks across the..

  • stage floor - pole and all. (The way he just carried out that scene was just too hilarious!!)

    Way to go, Whoopi! We always knew you could hit those high notes! LOLOL!! ;-D

  • Cute. Great performance.

  • LOL! that was...unexspected...go whoppi!..

  • hilarious!

  • JOHN CUDIA!! ahh i love this haha =D ROFL!

  • That was amazing! I bet they weren't expecting to see her. That was great. She just turns around and... BAM Whoopie Goldberg is right there.

  • He just walks away! LOL! *Whoopi faints* "Oh, sh*t!"

  • How can Erik walk on water? Because he is just that AMAZING! Lol. I thought this was hilarious, and I absolutely LOVE John Cudia! He has a fantastic voice and is extremely cute!!!! <3

  • I saw Phantom on broadway a fee months ago... It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life.

  • bahahahahhahah!OMG!Whoopie is the best you just gotta love her!

    lol she passes out and the phantom just walks away!hahahah!EPIC PERFORMANCE!

  • LOL

  • I think the reason he ran away is that the Phantom only likes sopranos. He's a Fachist.[/music joke]

  • Is she on helium????

  • I just died laughing XD

  • I think it is hilarious how after she passes out, he's like, "Ummm, oh sh*t. RUN!"

  • LOL!  That was too funny!

  • It's about time we take levity with this, folks take it way too seriously. It just screams for parody.

  • He looks so young here. Amazing though, I always loved this clip.

  • @tyagofsantos haha yeah that take Gerard Butler! JC can walk on the water.. :]

  • john cudia!!! cute when he just walks away xD

  • you can totally tell he's trying really hard not to laugh. look at 0:26 the way he moves his lips and clenches his teeth makes it pretty obvious he's putting forth a lot of effort not to smile. =]

  • Isn't that a general Phantom thing...?

  • oh my!! I was not expecting that. John Cudia looks and sounds so amazing. I like how he just walked across the water.

  • Whoopi is delicious!

  • hahaha if i were john cuia id be trying SOOOOO hard not to burst out laughing!!!! haha kudos to john for singing with a straight face

  • If I was John Cudia, I'd be trying not to laugh! haha

  • This was hilarious! *dies laughing*

    Hmm, John Cudia *drools* xD

  • i agree! he's one of the best :)

  • lol that was too funny! John was great too!

  • She did a fantastic job. Love love love her!

  • OMG!! this was so funny lol i love whoppi and who doesn't like john cudia? he and ramin karimloo are my fav phantoms id give anything to see either of them perform =D

  • Only Whoopi could do it and make people laugh.

  • *facepalm*

    How I love it so. My favorite part is the end though, the Phantom just looks at her and hurries away. "Well crap, there goes another one..." John Cudia <3

  • Sure enough, I was trying so hard to not laugh during this scene at the show on Tuesday. But I enjoyed the show! John was fantastic!

  • well that's going on my favorites list...

  • Hillarious!!!! HEEHEEHOHOHAHA!

  • HAHAHA x3 bajillionth time i've watched; still amazing.

  • I ♥ John Cudia. He's amazing, one of the best Phantoms I've ever seen. Saw him in LA last February.

  • That was awesome. By the way, Cudia looks like an awesome Erik.

  • I couldn't stop laughing when i saw this by far the funniest part of the entire tony's that year and i love the phantom of the opera..still funny as hell!!!

  • LMAO wooooooow....

  • Woopie: *passes out*

    Phantom: "*glances in silence*...*walks off stage*

  • omg i've seen the phantom of the opera at the majetic theater like 2 weeks ago...lol

  • I love John Cudia. It's hilarious at the end where he's just like, "Um, wtf? Yea, I'll be going now."

  • In addition to his haunting voice, clever craftsmanship of threatening notes, terrifyingly-executed maniacal laughter, chandelier-dropping skills, and great, theatrical disappearing acts, ladies and gentlemen, the Phantom of the Opera has a new power: He can walk on water! :)

  • omg u are so funny

  • Thanks, phantomeriklover. :)

  • hahahaa!

  • You win the interwebz xD

  • I just LOVE! his expression in this! its like

  • Ah! I love John Cudia! I saw him in San Fran! :)

  • LMAO

  • lol the phantom like wtf...walks away

  • This never gets old. I love it!

  • I completely agree. His reaction is priceless at the end. How he didnt break out laughing is beyond me.

  • actors are amazing things

    even though I have a hard time getting through when its prank night

  • omg this is funny as all hell!!! I almost pissed myself laughing!!!

    and he is like oh... fuck.. ummm.... *walks away*

    hay you guys know where Cudia is proforming phantom?

  • Yes, I saw him on January 31st at the Pantages in Hollywood. He is there thru mid February. He was fantastic.

  • lucky!!!! i would love to see him he is in my top 3 phantoms. I wish they had a cast recording of him. you know where he is going to be next?

  • who is the other 2? I love Michael Crawford, John Cudia, and GB (movie version).

  • He will be performing in Denver and then on to Kansas.

  • i saw him peform in broadway!!!

    he was amazing!

    1:05 "Uh...." -walks away- LOL!

  • LOL!!!!

  • she just like goes, "whoa" *falls over* phantom looks around, "uh--er--" *runs away*

    lol

  • I love that performance after performance of seriousness, there's that one time of the year that there can be that "I wonder what would happen if..." senario that makes you lol in your pants.

  • i love how the phantom just walks away! I hope i get to see john cudia on tour

  • I think it was supposed to be a joke, not a mockery of the play.

  • aaahhhh omg

    that is the funniest ever!!!!

    I love Whoopi and John Cudia!!!

  • I have to admit Whoopi actually did some VERY VERY good vocals in the bit. I was suprised at that - especially the long note.

    Amazing vid and I lol'd at when the phantom was like "ocrap *run*"

  • lmFAO......THIS MADE MY DAY:)

  • This is so funny. I love John Cudia anyway, and he's great in this video, when she passes out and he's like, "oh, crap!" and hauls ass out of there.

  • haha! and i think john cudia is the tour phantom, i recall seeing him when it came to toronto. but kudos to whoopi, passing out as she was suppose to hit the high note, XD she's amazing!

  • i love how the phantom just walks away when she passes out

  • hahaha! she makes a good Christine!

  • god, i thought it was gonna be Maury Yeston's

    Phantom, not phantom of the opera

  • OMFG!!! I can't stop laughing, Whoopi passes out and the Phantom walks away!

  • Whoooooopie! You ROCKER!!!!!

  • Oh my gooooodnees~~ That was hillarious~ The Great Phantom walked out!! I can't wait till the show comes to LA ~

  • wat the heck??!! ROFL~~

  • John Cudia did an awesome job as The Phantom of the Opera. Whoopi did the most funny Christine Daee. But what did you expect? It's the Tony Awards. They tried to make some musicals funny if they want to. But no more funny buisness for The Phantom of the Opera.
