Hugh Panaro - Johanna (Sweeney Todd)

[OhMeMissMorgie]

Is that Celia keenan bolger?

[MrPoto00]

Can you put "The Worst Pies in London", please?

[OperaGhost1989]

Only Hugh can make muttonchops work.

[zelda1fiction1child]

He REALLY makes this song a lot less creepy and stalkerish! :D

[ShadowDwellerXXX]

ah, i see hes moved on from christine and go onto johanna lol

[nancyleelove]

i just love Hugh

[hardcoldrocker]

I had to listen to this song four times before I heard "buried sweetly in your yellow hair" instead of "you alone can make my song take flight". Gosh, Hugh is so amazing.

[asmileisspecial]

I adore Hugh's voice muchly. Hugh+ Johanna= win

[horerfandod3]

thanks

[horerfandod3]

when was this

[Paula74]

@horerfandod3 This production ran from May to June of 2002.

[horerfandod3]

@Paula74 thanks

[ilovenatW]

oohhhh myyyy goodness!!! thats the phantom!!! -dies-

[indigoAlice]

I love him... 

[IDRIS1130]

Hugh is brilliant & a god!

If you saw him in (The phantom of the opera)

Or (Lestat the musical) you’ll know just what I mean

[musicalgeek10]

this is my favorite version of this song!! Hugh's portrayal is wonderful... I wish i had his vocal power and great range! Also a great phantom btw... :)

[asmileisspecial]

I want him to sing this to me... my name isn't Johanna, but for him, it can be!

[Redeemer1976]

@asmileisspecial

i seee yyouuuuuuu Johannaaaaaaaa ;)

[asmileisspecial]

*dies*

Amazing, amazing, amazing. His voice!

[KevCantStop]

I love the choice of having him hanging from the column. Very Romeo and Juliet. Forbidden love. Beautiful =)

[asmileisspecial]

I'm almost in tears. Hugh's voice is gorgeous!

[helloweenVironmaiden]

bloody tenors...

have to show all us lads up...

[friendsfamilyaccount]

what a lovely wonderful capture. I think it's amazing- :)

[ElvishGeek101]

Hugh Panaro singing this song makes me wish I was blonde...hahah, but seriously, whenever that man sings he manages to make me melt.

[RaWrZzZz]

love it <3 ah miss perhaps?

[Nerris121]

I see quite a bit of his movement as when he played the Phantom.

[allis143]

Yeah, I see it, too.

[MORKOS621]

@Nerris121 I wondered where I heard the name before. But isn't the age difference between Anthony and the Phantom a bit wide?

[thealexmusical]

okay, I'm just impressed hes doing this hanging from the side of the set!

[adenman2008]

He does really good... A tad behind the music sometimes, and he could stand to chill on the vibrato cause it almost sounds a bit forced in some places, but over all good job...

[smeggers0329]

i agree he backphrases quite a bit but this is one of the only johanna's that i believe

[Taehokan]

*you are good you do well

[AngelicDelight]

I disagree. I hear nothing forced about his voice. Of course, I rarely listen with a critical ear.

[MajorBarbara1955]

Excellent rendition. To me Victor Garber will always be THE Anthony Hope, but I like Panaro (I liked him on the OBR of "Side Show").

[eeyansugoiyan]

Beautiful voices！！！

感動した

[phantomphan1778]

Hugh Panaro is AMAZING

[AngelicDelight]

Mmmmm... what's there to say? He's incredible, in fact, I'd almost say at his finest, when he just lets it all out like that.

[shmoogle14]

Could you please post "A Little Priest"?

[KazenoOokami]

Hey can you put the hole play?

[im2cow4u]

wow

that is indeed incredible.

[ElvishGeek101]

he can steal me any day

[sievep]

I can't believe he can sing that hanging leaning back like that. He's my hero.

[jlg92990]

is he single?

[miw309]

incredible...

[DefyingGravity3]

Is this version of the Johanna reprise on Youtube, too? With Hugh and Celia, I mean.

[klickenpod]

Uh... you're watching it.

[jeeeem]

how old is this?

[Paula74]

It's from 2002.

[theatresofty]

wat's the difference between the broadway verzion and the kennedy center verzion?

[wannabe1491]

I really like Parano as Anthony. The emotion really comes through with the singing.

This couple was pretty much the only people I didn't like from the original cast, but I love these two!

[sdrhead]

If it's not too much to ask I'd LOVE to see the Johanna from Act 2 when Sweeney's killing all those people!

[acoupleanutcases]

I saw him as Erik in Phantom of the Opera! He's so great...

[MissLeannxx]

HUGH.

HUGH.

HUGH.

<3.

[broadwaymelody33]

I know! He's sex on legs ;)

[fedrebel03]

He's not the best Anthony acting wise, but I think his voice is beautiful and he sings the part better than anyone else I've ever heard. What year was this? I think someone said that it was some time ago and if that's true, his acting has improved greatly from what it used to be.

[Paula74]

It was around 2002 - after he came back from doing some shows out in Los Angeles.

[pablopoulain]

please upload worst pies in london

this production is so great!! I can't wait to see that mrs lovett

[broadwaymelody33]

I only like muttons when they're on Hugh <3

XD

[Alia101]

He has such an amazeing voice but I just can't get over those mutton-chops lol

[BelleandBeast07]

I want to thank you for uploading this. Hugh is so amazing and I love his rendition of Johanna. Thank you so much! <3 XD

[yumichan89]

*sighs blissfully*

So amazing. Although he did seem rough around the edges earlier in his career, this still sounds amazing.

[BroadwayGirl24]

amazing.

my favorite song from this musical.

[LukaHartman]

fantastic voice! awful acting. and who was the fool that did the character design with those awful mutton chops?? poor guy!

[demonbarber100]

thats how the orignal show was.

sorry its NOT THE MOVIE.

[LukaHartman]

I'm not stupid, you are talking to a professional actor, as well as a musical theatre major. and for you information, the original hair and makeup concept did not have the mutton chops for Anthony.

[demonbarber100]

are you SURE?

we are talking about Victor Garber...

Im looking a a pic now and theres some chops...

i didnt mean to be rude. sorry if i came off that way...

[Norina1982]

I love Hugh Panaro so much! Thank you for uploading this! :-)

[maryjivinjane]

What a voice!! Stellar performance. Too bad about those mutton chops, though... :P

[manlyman80345]

Could you please upload "Johanna (Quartet)" and "A Little Priest" from the Kennedy Center production please?

[chaddirects]

YES!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!

[kesse94]

[mokushinosaku]

[BottleofXrum]

[donttellmeuremo]

its so sad.:(

[Awakening127]

AHHHHH you put it back up! I LOVE YOU.

[donttellmeuremo]

aww. poor anthony. :(

[shmoogle14]

Poor Anthony? Poor Johanna!

[misspascal101]

Beautiful. He also made a great Marius ♥

[Paula74]

Oh, he certainly did. I've been lucky enough to see him as Marius, The Phantom, Lestat, and Bobby in "Company." A terrific performer and a sweet person.

[theminutepast]

Does anyone know who was the Eponine to his Marius? There were two Eponines he performed alongside.

[Paula74]

Mostly Natalie Toro, but also Jennifer Naimo.

[allisonthecat]

Wow you are very lucky to have seen him in Phantom and Lestat, and I'm just a littel bit jelous!!! He is my favorite Amarican phantom of all time!!!  I have two other favorites Anthony Warlow is my favorite Australin (or how ever you spell it) phantom, and MC is my favorite British phantom. I'd love to see Hugh as the phantom, but his done it twice, so I don't know if he would want to do it agin. Anyway I didn't know he was in Sweeny Todd, when did he do this dose anyone know, tancks?

[Paula74]

Hugh told me that, yes, he would play the Phantom again IF he has the chance. He's going to play Jean Valjean in "Les Miserables" this summer, though.

He played in "Sweeney Todd" in 2002.

[allisonthecat]

Wow that's so cool that his going to be in Les Mis, I just came back from seeing a High School productshon (sorry I have a feeling a spelled that word wrong) of it right now. It's such a beutiful play and now joins phantom in a tie as one of my favorite shows. I love to see him in it but I live in the mid west, so I can't go becuse I'd have to buy a plane ticket as well for a theater ticket, and both are expensive.

[mellybear03]

I just saw Hugh in the Les Miz production! Can I just say: WOW what a voice!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to see him in Phantom, it's my favorite musical. I gotta admit the cast in Les Miz was awesome but I didn't love the show.

[hannahfacee]

you know, he just completely amazes me.

there's nothing i don't like about him.

his voice, his personality, his looks. ;]

everything about him is just incredible.

[xangelofmusic101]

thank god you added this video again <3

[shwadiana]

I saw him as the Phantom in POTO! HE WAS AMAZING!

[fireangel265]

He sounds like he would be a great Phantom :)

[yosoyjenna]

Thank you!!! =)
