Colm Wilkinson as the Sydmonton Phantom

This is a small clip of the very first performance of the Phantom of the Opera when it was still in pre-production at Sydmonton.

This is Colm Wilkinson singing 'Music of the Night'

"Measure after measure,
An instrument of pleasure
A treasure house of passion and delight
Come join me, in the music of the night..." (more)

It sounded like, "Come join me in the MUSE of the night."

Haha that would be Colm doing his Colm thing where he sings with pursed lips and a ton of breath.

[Chishannicon]

Praise Jesus that they altered the show before putting it on the West End...

[applepooo]

He looks like Darth Vader

@tangocorte cuz he's irish, and his accents comes through sometimes when he sings?

[tangocorte]

@philipericbennett Listen again. He's saying "Muzak of the night." Why he's saying that is a mystery.

'Measure after measure, an instrument of pleasure'

Thumbs up if you think it sounds like he´s talking of a vibrator.
