What version was you watching? I have the blu ray, nobody dropped any apples in that and I didn't see any mined singing.

@zaftra This review was about the live screening of the show. The blu ray or dvd release probably edited it out, but in the live broadcast the apple was dropped in the Don Juan scene before Point of No Return.

I see, that's interesting, on the blu ray, she picks the apple off the table, then the phantom takes it off her and puts it on the table. It wasn't thrown. There where several night screenings may be they changed it to avoid the embarrassment. Or the blu ray is an edit job of the best of all nights.

@zaftra Oh it wasn't Christine. That part went fine. Carlotta tossed the apple to another person during the choral part before PONR and he dropped it

i think he choose the right christine ,because Sierra is one of the christines who just not only sing but acts the role amazing .Ok Sierra didnt play the role for so often but id rater see her than an other actress .Gina will be the new glinda so she has anough to work on .

@delibessylvia3 Sierra was nearly perfect  and I think she is a wonderful actress and has a beautiful voice, but I stand by my opinion that no matter how wonderful she is, the role should have gone to a West End actress who had played Christine at Her Majesty's Theatre, which is the production they were celebrating. (Same with Raoul, should have actually played the role at some point). There were at least 5 West End Christines in the chorus that would have been stunning as well.

Let's make a petition for John owen-Jones to do a phantom cast recording! I saw the 25th in the theatres and Ramin was good but when John started singing in the finale the crowd went wild! John will always be the true Phantom. Next to Michael Crawford of course.

Just had a recheck, apples thrown and apples caught. Must be a clever edit or edited in from a different night. Disappointing, would have like to have seen that. Been funny.

@animelover13579 well i think webber has his reason why he didnt choose one of them .I just love sierra and think she did an perfect job on the concert and ramin and her have so much chemistry
