Colm looks almost exactly the same many years later. His hair has gotten whiter and he has got a few more wrinkles, but that's about it. Well, he does have a beard too. I like him better as Valjean though. He's an okay Phantom, but he's definitely not the best. Still, it was neat to get to see him in the 25th anniversary production of Phantom.
@lilsisasu yeah it was good that they got colm for the 25th, even though he wasn't the best phantom, he did play it for 5 years and the 4 phantom thing was more just for fun, if they wanted it to sound perfect they wouldn't of had sarah brightman singing it because she cant really sing that song anymore but that didn't matter it was an all round good experience for everyone and it still sounded really good
I love Rebecca Caine; she is my favorite Christine. That voice! And she made me laugh when she said the part about, "if you try too hard with Christine, you look like you're on drugs." lol But it's true!
IF i had a time machine i would go to Canada and to the signing, and tell Colm he's going to play Valjean, have a beard, and ask him to sign my paper 2 times :D.
It's interesting how, in the old days, Christine wasn't supposed to have the backbone it displays now, with certain actresses. I think they now understand that the character is much richer, thus giving the actresses a lot more freedom.
They both have more nasel/young speaking voices than singing voices. I love what Colm said about the good side of the face being the bad side, and the ugly side being the good side.
Rebecca is lovely and really astute about her character.
