Phantom 25th Anniversary HD YouTube

[morganevansiscool]

I've performed there. 

[CarolineAnnMartinCAT]

Just to add, just loved the footage at the end, and seeing/hearing Colm Wilkinson was a special treat. :)

[CarolineAnnMartinCAT]

I've seen Phantom many times on Broadway, have seen the movies including the musical version, and must say I was blown away by this performance. I'd feared that it would be a concert as was done with Les Miserable, but was thrilled to find it a filming of a live performance! Lavish sets, score and more just as seen on Broadway with the exception of the chandelier. (I prefer this version as it was more believable.

[VRNProductions]

Why is it the score is the fourth element advertised? It's a sad world we live in where scene changes are thought to be a more important aspect of a musical than the music itself.

[Spamazoid]

the role of Christine was well and truly superceded by Sierra Boggess, she should be renamed Sierra Godess,

too bad the "HD" versions is just an upscaled SD version and the audio is stereo not 5.1. Least on the Itunes version it seems to be

[Tohruuu]

This was WAY better than the movie. Shows you don't need supreme, well known actors and super special effects to make a good show.

[Fullmetal1890P]

@Tohruuu No, I have to disagree. The 2004 movie adaptation was an incredible change to the original stage production and I don't think anything else can ever top the Andrew Lloyd Webber version like that movie did. I recently bought the 25th anniversary at Royal Albert Hall and though I loved it, I wouldn't even consider that close to anything running on Broadway even. Too many unnecessary changes and it was a bit too "rock 'n roll" for my taste.

[mattjolley]

Wow, broken glass text effect OVERKILL! ha.

[redberry0]

good

[screaminPirate]

I agree. I want a DVD now!!!!!

[mattjolley]

@screaminPirate You can buy the Blu-Ray region free from amazon.co.uk, hope that helps!

[lauredilian]

Thank goodness it was shown here in the Philippines, though no longer live telecast but it was spectacular! Planning to watch it again before the last day of showing on the 18th.

[canelongno1]

i wish i had seen it!!! really hope they do release it on DVD

[jibrilyogo]

la da la da la da da da di da!

[Hikarilastsolace]

[aTnavarrow]

Always brilliant but this will be super brilliant !

[TheLaurenk12]

PHANTASITIC!!!!!!!!!

[kezie666666]

fantastic

[MrAlex8590]

they will be release a DVD on 2011/11/14

[mycandypigs925]

I can't WAIT to see this musical on Wednesday! I've been obsessed with The Phantom of the Opera and Erik's story for about a year now, and I've been awaiting a professional production of the musical! LONG LIVE ERIK AND HIS LEGACY!!! KILL THE FOP!!!!

[Greenievideo]

Awesome cinema experience if you get chance to see the later replays..

[BeautyBeastaful]

2 people don't know how magical, captivating, magnificent, miraculous, phabulous, beautiful, astonishing, and spectacular Phantom of the Opera is...

[HorseyWitchOfTheEast]

I'm going to see this in the cinima tomorrow! I'm so excited!

[MyCoffeeLove]

@HorseyWitchOfTheEast I have seen it! In the Hague!

[Assassin3395]

from what ive found online this isnt happening in Alberta canada :(

[WickedIsPopular]

I wish they had a showing in my area ;( i saw poto live a couple of years ago it was fantastic

[MDkid1]

This is INSANE!!!!!!

[burgermainia15]

Omg! I was so afraid they weren't gonna broadcast it in my state!!! I just found out they'll do it in the theater in my town!!!!!! Yes, yes, YES!!!!!!!!!!! I just died of a poto overdose! I can't wait to see this!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 :D :D :D :D :D

[margzylow]

So, is it definitely going to be Hadley Fraser as Raoul?

[sailorcrystal]

I hope that Rebecca Caine and Claire Moore will be there. It would be a shame because they gave phenomenal portrayals of Christine Daae.

[veepeecee]

Is it true that Hadley Fraser is gonna play Raoul? Because then this concert would seriously have my dream cast!

[domesticmg]

I really do wish they would in cooperate Sarah Brightman, and Micheal Crawford into the DVD. With out Sarah there would be no phantom...

[JohannaPalacio001]

Im so HAPPY that it will be played in US theaters. Can't wait!

[jelliclekat24]

@JohannaPalacio001 Me too. In fact,just preordered tickets :D

[andromache007]

Thank godness there will be a DVD cause not everybody's lucky enough to be able to be there! :)

[Scar2401]

@andromache007 THAT and its about bloody time it was filmed!! :D

[JasonCollago309]

they did

[JasonCollago309]

I think they are making it into a dvd

[scottishginger89]

Seen this in London last year and I have loved it ever since I was 12 and thats me now booked to see it at Aberdeen cinema in Scotland and preordered it on DVD too. I soooooo can not wait !!!

[brobbinsroost]

I'll be there for two performances. I'm coming from TN, and I have spent a fortune on good seats. My only regret is that Gina Beck and Rebecca Lock won't be participating as they have other commitments, and that Simon Bailey, the Raoul in this Vid with Gina as Christine, won't be reprising the role of Raoul, though he will be playing the role of a soldier in Act I, and a fireman in Act II. At least we do have our amazing Ramin karimloo as Phantom. Whoever is Raoul will not be any better than SB

[ValtronW]

GUYS. THERE WILL BE A DVD *AND* IT WILL BE PLAYED IN MOVIE THEATERS.

This was confirmed on the Facebook page! Look online to see where it's playing near you! For anyone living in Orange County- it will be playing in Tustin!

[ARBUTUS000HAREM]

I would like a DVD with London original cast !!! This will be amazing!!!

[gilarious]

for those who can't come. there should be theaters that broadcast live.. ?

[emichan04]

The DVD are release on 14 NOV 2011

I got this news from facebook Ramin Karimloo's fan page

[Glitterbear5151]

I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTT

[crownprincetaffe]

hope this is made as a DVD or at the very least a live soundtrack...

[OperaGhostObsession]

I absolutely adore this musical. I have ever since I first saw the 2004 movie and then moved on to love the original cast. I saw Phantom on Broadway in January. Fantastic music, costumes, and performers. Happy 25th <3

[Annoushka2000]

Sorry but I'd like to make one tiny correction:

THE most romantic score ever written!

They'd better put it on film - and hopefully they'll show it in cinemas like they did for Les Mis

[Ggirl91]

@Annoushka2000 don't think they're screening it...that was easier with les mis because they could stream it like they were doing on the screens in the o2 arena...i can't wait for the dvd...

[ValtronW]

Well I'm sad now.

But mark my words......when they revive CATS in 2013, come hell or highwater, I am buying a plane ticket to London to go see it.

[ValtronW]

Only two nights? Please. It's probably sold out by now.

[NenadlPopovic]

I WANT TO SEE IT LIVE SOOOOOO BAD !!! People who are living in London are so lucky... I live in Serbia, which is far from England. And my biggest fear is that they will stop performing PotO, but they can't! Until I see it at Her Majesty's Theater!!!!

[twailertwash]

Who will be playing Raoul... Please say Killian Donnelly

[Sakura4evea]

I saw this on saturday and completely fell in love! this show is BEYOND PHENOMENAL! <3 I would definately recommend this as a must see in Vegas! I think i must go see it again :)

[bookluvr19]

Will you be taping it or will it be on television?

[EmilYxSax]

I can't believe Wynne Evans is playing Piangi! Even though he is an amazing tenor.... Whenever I see him all I can think of is "Go compare.... go compare..."

BRING ON OCTOBER 2ND! :Dxxxx

[gib1jack]

'Phantom of the Opera' will now and forever be my all-time fave musical !!! <3

[notestco]

I really hope this goes onto PBS or something like Les Mis did... I would give anything to have gone to London for this

[toyffer15ppf]

Is it going to be a Concert like the one in Les Mis or the original show???

[NQ201]

It says I can't play the video on my iPad :/

[MrLoveBroadway]

I just LOVE it!

[jelliclekat24]

lol they used gustave's scream @0:17 :)

[emichan04]

I want to see Ramin in DVD.

Because I can't so aboard to see any show.

[emichan04]

I want to see Ramin in DVD. because I can't so aboard to see any show.

[BellaLuvsEdward08]

I'd be exceptionally ecstatic if they put this on DVD. Phantom of the Opera is my life, I sing it everyday. It inspired me at the age of 14 to be a 1st Soprano. I can almost sing every note, I am just missing two. I openly admit that I am obsessed with this Musical. It has impacted my life, it brings me to a whole other world of Magik, Love, and Music. Thank Andrew Lloyd Webber for this phenomenal Musical and Congratulations on 25 years. Please put this on DVD!!

[btomimatsucunard]

so is this a special thing or is it leaving her majesties theater?

[adam4757]

@btomimatsucunard One off 25th Anniversary concert. The musical will still play at Her Majesty's.

[ThePhanFullerton]

I wouldn't be surprised if they used the Vegas chandelier

[AzulaBlack]

HADLEY FRASER SHOULD BE RAOUL.

[aTnavarrow]

Brilliant ~ I love to see this again and again! and all ALW Productions !

[TwilightGeisha]

Loved phantom since I can remember. I wish I could see it every month

[pogoniasis04]

I am 10 years old and LOVE Phantom!!

Also.......I have tickets for the saturday!!

Listen to me singing if you can....Phantom songs...

KATIE :~)

[AzulaBlack]

I would love to see this musical!!!

But I cannot go...

[NenadlPopovic]

Please, I am like many stuck somewhere where we can't see our favorite musical (I am from Serbia) but could you please have a tour across the universe in the honor of 25 years of work?The movie was really good too,but I have to tell you it's not the same if you see this LIVE or live recorded on DVD. Those people who live in London are the happiest on Earth, some of them don't even now how much lucky they are. And you CAN'T STOP PERFORMING PHANTOM UNTIL I SEE IT! Then, I can die happily in peace!

[Phan801]

i am soooo excited!! i so wish they'll make a dvd of this:))

does anybody know who will play raoul?

[smec9]

/starts to cry

I just want to go SO BAD.

IT SUCKS BEING BROKE AND LIVING IN CANADA.

[underthestarofnorth]

DVD! PLEASE! I BEG YOU! I mean, you can make it like really expensive, or ANYTHING, but please make a DVD! I am seriously begging anyone responsible for making decisions about this. PLEASE!

[dulcealan]

i wanna see sarah brightman in tha play...



[MUSICCGP]

@dulcealan Sarah Brightman is great.

[catarininhah]

I want to goooo :O

[lilsaprano123]

Love the Phantom.  This is my singing Wishing You Were Here Again at 12 years old. Hope you enjoy.

[2asd2asd]

To everyone asking for a DVD - you can join the campaign on facebook by searching "Campaign for a DVD of Phantom25". It may not happen, but we can try to make a difference together! 

[Arielle92B]

If they do not release a DVD of this I will cry

[RosesNightengales]

@Arielle92B Agreed.

[daniellebancroft]

@Arielle92B i will as well

[LaydayEruanna]

@Arielle92B They will, and they confirmed it before the show! <3

[lamllemaussade]

[TheLaurenk12]

[ben2692]

Got my tickets for Saturday Night, can't wait !! This is going to be epic !!

[BroadwayDreamchild]

Isn't Ramin coming back to do a one time performance as the Phantom celebrating the 25th anniversary? Or did I hear wrong? Hmm..maybe he's just singing,..I'm not sure.

[crazyphan18]

I WANT TO GO!!!! its near my 22ed birthday!!

[LPSMe]

I cant wait till automn, then I will finally see this wonderful play in London.

It's truly the best musical ever.

[heyheymister]

was that a black phantom at 1:39? AWESOME!!!

[auto4532]

@heyheymister THAT! Was Robert Guillaume. The first African American Phantom and he is the voice of Rafiki in The Lion King.

[MDkid1]

@auto4532 really? wow! :)

[angel6of6music6]

@heyheymister That was Robert Guillaume. He was an amazing Phantom :D and Micheal Crawford's understudy when the show first came to LA 

[two1065]

@heyheymister Hi, I don't know if anyone has answered you, but it was Robert Guillame. When he played the role (in LA?) apparently there was uproar - how could there be a black phantom? This was Paris after all! What these ignoramusses don't realise is that Paris had many black people and like the Phantom many of them had to hide away because they weren't seen as normal and thus not allowed to join the community. Some things make me so angry! Deep Breaths! Deep Breaths!

[PhantomsPoet180]

Phantom will never die.

[ElleFenty]

THEY ARE DEFO MAKING A DVD OF THIS!!

[gemini21]

Please give us a dvd!!!

[RainyDays317]

must see must see must see!!! Phantom!!!

[Phan801]

please make a dvd of this!! us phans have supported and loved it over the years but unfortunately not every one of us can travel to london to watch it live....so plz plz plz plz plz give sth back to us by releasing a dvd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[adam4757]

Got tickets for the Saturday performance. Can't wait!

[r3dscarf]

I love it! Especially how there's so many different clips from different productions, PHANTASTIC!!

[UltimateDingbat]

I hope they put it out on cinemas liek they did with Les Mis

[hogbackmtn]

I wonder how many times they used the "glass breaking" sound effect just in this video.

[mqjeffrey]

More cast info:

This lavish, fully staged production of ‘Phantom of the Opera at the Albert Hall’ will star Ramin Karimloo as ‘The Phantom’ and Sierra Boggess as ‘Christine’. They will be joined by Barry James as ‘Monsieur Firmin’ Gareth Snook as ’Monsieur André’, Liz Robertson as ‘Madame Giry’ and Wynne Evans as ‘Piangi’ together with a cast and orchestra of over 200 together with some special guest appearances....

[Heavylight17]

Saw this in New York!! It was awesome!

[LoverOfMusic12332]

Sierra and Ramin are doing the 25th!! WOO HOO!! and it will be filmed, said by andrew himself :)

[Phan801]

@LoverOfMusic12332 really????when did he say it?can you send me a link? you probably just made my day:))

[ManicOne80]

I grew up listening to Phantom. I would kill to see this production, but sadly I am in the USA so I will not be able to make it. I really hope the film it and put it on DvD I would preorder that DVD.

[TheTitanic4]

Maybe it will come on BBC america.... that would be a dream come true for me! :D

[joepau09]

of course there would be a dvd of this show. if Les Miz had, they phantom as well. i can't wait to see this on DVD...

[Melstrife]

Heck yes!!!! Forever Phantom, the longest running and best musical ever!!! It lives forever in my heart! I cannot wait when Ramin and Seirra does it as 25th anniversary! It's going to be awesome!

[Glora]

Someone should start a petition to put this on DVD.

[LoverOfMusic12332]

@Glora it is going onto a DVD!! :D

[DarthxErik]

I forgive you for Love Never Dies, Ramin. I forgive you. ;D

[ainzleyvillalon]

MY DREAM CAST! Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess ♥

[XXmrsXXshadowsXX]

@ainzleyvillalon and Hadley Frasier is playing Raoul

[GreyCleric08]

I'm sure they'll have a dvd/blu ray like the Les Mis anniversary. :D

[Phantomgoast]

Lets hope they put it on dvd :) ALL PHANTOM PHANS LOOK AT MY VIDS Please

[RosesNightengales]

My one question is... How will they be staging this?

[markmichaelwong]

I am so very fortunate and thankful I was able to see a production of Phantom of the Opera starring one of the most amazing phantoms ever to grace the theatre stage... Anthony Warlow!!! :)

[JohannaPalacio001]

I hope and pray it comes out on dvd. I would've preferred gina beck as Christine but oh well.

[theromantist]

ticket prices please? :P

[ChristineMeram]

Hopefully they record it like Les Mis did for their anniversary and upload plenty of clips of youtube

[animelover13579]

PLEASE MAKE A DVD OF THIS

[Fullmetal1890P]

@animelover13579 If they were to make a DVD of this, that would require the musical to cease to run. No one would go out to see it anymore and it's long run would end and future phans would never have been able to experience it. I think experiencing it live is something everyone should live, past and future phans alike. As for the DVD, they made a very close 2004 film (my favorite movie of all time).

[margzylow]

@Fullmetal1890P Nah, I don't agree, since Les Mis made two DVDs of their two concerts and it's still going strong. I think she just meant for the many people that can't go to watch this particular concert and a DVD of it's the next best thing.

[amberangel112]

@Fullmetal1890P if anything a dvd will encourage fans to go and see it live, it also means that those in other countries (such as me in Australia) who can't go and see the concert don't miss out on what seems like an amazing concert. any way the rise of movie musicals, movies being turned into musical and the increase of filmed productions have contributed to the rise in the amount of people going to the theatre

[r3dscarf]

@Fullmetal1890P Simply filming a concert version would most definetely not stop people from going to see the show -- Les Mis has filmed two concerts and is still going strong, so I don't see why Phantom would have to close because of this. If anything I think it would bring more people to see the show live for themselves.

[Gamercrazygirl2468]

@animelover13579 they have a dvd - not the broaday version but go to Play.com or Amazon.co.uk (or .com) and type in Phantom of The Opera - it has Gerard Butler in

[bookluvr19]

@animelover13579 YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!­!!!

[loyapauli]

@animelover13579 they make it!! DVD and Blu-Ray!!! in Nov14



[disney43075]

its not fair. why do i have to live in california? :'( i hope they record it.

[smec9]

I have to go. I just have to.

[RosesNightengales]

@smec9 I'm having a feeling they will due to the fact that Mr. Webber wants more money. He better film this because this is one my alll time favorite musicals. And, It was my introduction to Musical Theatre. So i'm just having a feeling he's going to.

[blueis42]

GREATEST BROADWAY MUSICAL OF ALL TIME.

[xAzureEka]

@blueis42:OF ALL TIME!

[Cauldren]

@blueis42 Kanye West would be correct on this

[racingalice]

Those of us who cant travel to Royal Albert Hall can only hope they film it and put it out on DVD or something.... I would LOVE to see it, I want to see Ramin Karimloo play the Phantom so bad!

[maestas96]

I am so excited! I am glad it will be fully staged.

[MrsBadGuy1]

What about Meg, Raoul and Carlotta???

By the way, great cast....but no my first choice for Phantom, and sure not my first for Christine either. Hugh Panaro, John Owen-Jones, Gina Beck and Anna O'Byrne all the way.

[luna23255]

I really hope they'll show this in movie theaters.

[wolfstar024]

So excited for this! I hope they show this in cinemas like they did with LesMis 25 for those us stateside Phans that can't make it to London :) :) :)

[falkon26]

the only musical in the world worth seeing.

[skulblaka92]

Will it be shown in selected cinema screens like Les Mis? I really really really hope so, sooooo many people will be missing out on this amazing experience if the performance is limited just to the Royal Albert Hall. Oh and I'm personally hoping for Ramin Karimloo to play the Phantom XD ooooooo and I really hope there's a DVD release! I'm so excited!

[soi797]

FIRST!



[PittsBurghFuzz]
