only thing wrong with it is that madame giry is talking to her daughter, telling her that "He will Burn you with the heat of his eyes!" just sounds a little cruel to say to your daughter..
@TheTitanic4 true but this is coming from the same woman who told her daughter along with an entire group of ballerinas that they were a disgrace. hahaha
ha ha, this is awesome! Actually, it could work because in Vegas i don't think they even have the song Magical Lasso, but they actually show bouquet getting hanged :-P
Meg Giry does a better job than Joseph Buguet. She improvised so well. The Phantom seems to be the one show that does not actually stop for laughs during mishaps. Instead, they are corrected like dovetailing. Brilliant.
When I saw the show in London back when Ramin was still there, that scene was sort of similar. Although, the girls just sat there, music played, nothing happened and on a cue all the girls jumped up and left the stage. No Buquet, no Mme. Giry. It was pretty funny if you knew the show, kinda pointless if you didn't. :D
After being Buquet in my high school production of POTO; how in the world would this actor not make it on stage??? We're only on there twice for Pete's sake!
Wow, believe it or not, the scene actually works quite well this way. Although, the foreshadowing for Buquet's death is now gone. What's funny is that it seems the actor became the character because Buquet is rather lazy and careless.
This reminds me so much of the opening scene of the Leroux, with Little Jammes telling the rest of the girls all about O.G. and a certain little Miss Giry piping up that Joseph Buquet would do well to hold his tongue...
Suddenly the musical is just THAT much more like the novel... ;-)
@CherishBearish7 REALLY! THAT'S SO COOL I DIDNT KNOW THAT!! oh wait yes i did! i know that this video isn't what useually happens. in the stage version....like the movie Buquet does this part.
@CherishBearish7 your talking about Buquet he usally sings this in the bway show to but if u read the disctiption box you would know that it said:
A blooper scene from the Broadway production in which the actor playing Buquet does not come onstage, with Heather McFadden as Meg and Sally Williams as Mme. Giry.
so please next time read the desciption box before commenting
A lot of people say that Buquet's death doesn't make sense if he doesn't perform this song. As long as you see the shadowy silhouettes of him and the Phantom fighting during the ballet in Il Muto, people who haven't seen the show before could just think that Buquet was trying to catch the Phantom.
Now that I think of it, Heather covered for Madame Giry when I first went to see the show - she was the one who volunteered Christine for the lead in 'Hannibal'. And I didn't know until later...
One of my friends saw Phantom on Broadway, and the chandelier didn't fall, so all of the actors reacted to a chandelier falling on stage when nothing was happening.
That is the only Phantom of the Opera stage blooper I have EVER seen,like most of the bloopers are in Wicked for instance, where much of Popular is improve,and when things go wrong,it makes the show even funnier, but in PotO hey have to make it like it was meant to be that way, it is kinda wierd, but I Heather had fun doing that! But I wonder were the actor playing Buguet was...
I can just see this dude eating a muffin back stage and then realizing he was absent and saying "Oh Shoot!"
probably peeping into the ladies' dressing room backstage...
nah,he probably just missed his cue. it happens all the time, professional or not. and when it does those onstage are in a tight spot for a moment, and then just go with the flow....and then you can laugh about it later! like they did here!
@VictoriatheNomad I agree. If you even miss a few seconds off your cue, it can be deadly to the audience....and the fate of the show. Coming on later than sooner also, though it sounds right, does nothing but make the house suspicious.
Meg, Madame Giry, and the ballet dancers all did very good here, and they will most surely laugh about it later, probably while cursing the name of Joseph Buquet under their breath. ;)
Major respect for Heather. She knew EXACTLY what to do. She realizes the lights are going up and Buquet isn't there and immediately pops up to do what he was supposed to. I guarantee at least 95 percent of that audience didn't even know anything was wrong.
Ha ha...great job covering that up. That was very professional of her. I've said many times that the thing about being professional is not that you never mess up, it's that you are quick to think to cover it up. :)
It's a good thing Heather got into the scene so quickly. I know, as a drama geek, people sometimes freak out whenever they don't see an actor come on stage when they're supposed to (even though it looks dark on stage, the actors can see everything). Good job to the actors who handled it so well!
That was amazing! It felt SO awkward when she said "Meg Giry, hold your tongue"; she obviously did a great job with it, but I was so nervous knowing those aren't the right words/syllables and she had to adapt it. This is great!
I've never seen this show. You know they did a good job because I could see absolutely nothing wrong with this scene. How was it supposed to play out? (I mean, what would have happened if Buquet had come onstage?)
@genungapearl yeah, what DarthxErik said. The important part is that later Buquet gets killed by the Phantom for knowing/saying too much, so that probably didn't make any sense that day. Oh, the joys of live theatre! ^_^
@th34terISmYlif3 well. untill you said that, i always thought Erik just killed Buquet becuase he was in the rafters and the people in the show didnt listen to him so he killed the guy and sent him on stage.
Wow. Oh my god. That is so... epic. I wish I could do that. Such a good save by BOTH. Does anyone know how "Buquet" was punnished if he was? Was he okay? Why did he miss it? ...? Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh such a good save. I would not have thought to do that.
Most people don't really understand how hard it is to be on stage, you must know each other's lines as best as you can, and always be prepared to go improv.
My friend saw a blooper at phantom once where the trap door at the end didn't work. It was an understudy and his mic was still on and everybody heard him whispering: Don't lift it, I'm still here
oh cool! That would make sense!!! Thanks! It looked really neat on stage though and it looked like he had marni (christine hiding in his cape though! Awesome though! Thanks again!
nicely done! When i saw this on broadway in august I for the first time i noticed when the girls ran off stage at the end of this the phantom ran across stage w/ christine behind the girls!! Does anyone know if that was supposed to happen or did I see my first blooper??!!
Many props to Heather McFadden for stepping up and doing the scene! It really goes to show you how well a true actor needs to be able to improvise.
I'll never forget watching the elevator malfunction as Faust descended into hell, jerking to a stop and starting upward again. Instead of continuing with the scrpit, the actor sang: "Damn! Hell is full!"
it happens sometimes. ive done shows where entire scenes were skipped just cause someone missed their cue. they played it off very well though! people who were not familiar with the play wouldn't have known any difference.
One of my friends saw an interesting blooper when he saw this show once...the trap door at the end did not work so when meg came on stage at the end the phantom was sitting in the chair rather than just his mask and it ended with the two of them touching hands.
I actually kinda like this. It reminds me of how in the original book Meg and the other ballet rats sit around telling each other ghost stories about the Phantom.
yeah! if it was me, though I don't have the right voice type (I think I'm a baritone at best) and anyway i'd sooner be the phantom, I'd be right there! shame on him!
true...when I saw cats for the first time...the cat Sillabub touched grizabell first after the song memory but it is usually victoria (who was played by an understudy that day)so I think it was improv
Wow, props for Heather! She handled that so well! Even emphasized in all the correct places. Must have been an awkward moment when everyone first realized Buquet was absent... But then BAM!
wow thats really professional! That must have been really scary to sing something that you've never sung before to a live audience! very good thinking Heather!
Best blooper: in the Aussie production (when it moved overseas for a season in NZ) the boat stalled during PotO and the Phantom/Christine had to walk across the lake. A few scenes later, during AIAoY there was a massive power surge and all the lights, mics etc. died. Christine and Raoul glanced at each other and just walked off stage. XD
I think there's another blooper where the phantom didn't disappear at the end like he is supposed to so Meg (I don't remember which actress) picks up the veil instead of ripping the cape away to reveal the mask...cuz the Phantom would still be sitting in his chair. Awk. LOL
Well I don't know anything about Phantom of the opera and I didn't saw anything gone wrong ;D So this is really professional!But what was Miss Giry (the old one) supposed to say?
it was supposed to be a man that told the story that meg giry told. then madam giry was supposed to sing "those who speak of what they know, find too late that prudent silence is wise. Joseph Bouquet hold your tongue. Keep your hand at the level of your eyes." Because, later, the phantom hangs Joseph with his lasso in the middle of an opera.
that was actually really great improv. if you didnt know anything about the show you would have thought that was how it was supposed to be. why didnt Buquet come on stage?
That was a great improv. I love this musical I have seen it twice and that is why I love live theater. Some of my favorite scenes were actually bloopers.
in this song, the part the girl just sang is normally performed by a guy actor. The actor who is supposed to sing that part didn't make it onstage, so the actress playing Meg improvised as well as Mme. Giry
the playing Buquet might have had an accident with the costume. They say that if you have a mishap with your costume, your not suppose to go on stage cuz the audience will know. but i agree with most of you, i think Meg should do it other than him.
Done like real perfessional! damn i would love to sea a real mistake like that live! if you saw that for the first time with no knowlage of the CD you never know! too bad many many people do know! haha
only thing wrong with it is that madame giry is talking to her daughter, telling her that "He will Burn you with the heat of his eyes!" just sounds a little cruel to say to your daughter..

Betrayed by her own mother *tsk tsk*
But brilliant!
In fact, I think they should use meg instead of Buquet!

Great improving! I bet most of the audience didn't even notice it. You would have never had known if this was the first time seeing the musical.

I think there's another blooper where the phantom didn't disappear at the end like he is supposed to so Meg (I don't remember which actress) picks up the veil instead of ripping the cape away to reveal the mask...cuz the Phantom would still be sitting in his chair. Awk. LOL

Well I don't know anything about Phantom of the opera and I didn't saw anything gone wrong ;D So this is really professional!But what was Miss Giry (the old one) supposed to say?
Waziro2007 3 years ago
it was supposed to be a man that told the story that meg giry told. then madam giry was supposed to sing "those who speak of what they know, find too late that prudent silence is wise. Joseph Bouquet hold your tongue. Keep your hand at the level of your eyes." Because, later, the phantom hangs Joseph with his lasso in the middle of an opera.

hope this helps.

that was actually really great improv. if you didnt know anything about the show you would have thought that was how it was supposed to be. why didnt Buquet come on stage?

That was a great improv. I love this musical I have seen it twice and that is why I love live theater. Some of my favorite scenes were actually bloopers.

I like it this way. It reminds of the scene in the book with the ballet girls in Sorelli's dressing-room.

in this song, the part the girl just sang is normally performed by a guy actor. The actor who is supposed to sing that part didn't make it onstage, so the actress playing Meg improvised as well as Mme. Giry

i guy was supposed to come on stage and sing the magical lasso song but he didn't so someone else did it instead

i wonder what happened later, because the scene where buquet dies won't make sense...
th34terISmYlif3 3 years ago
the playing Buquet might have had an accident with the costume. They say that if you have a mishap with your costume, your not suppose to go on stage cuz the audience will know. but i agree with most of you, i think Meg should do it other than him.
