I absolutely love watching your reactions. I'm so glad you gave this one a chance. Now you see why it was the longest running Broadway show. It's original run just ended in April, after 36.5 years. Sierra Boggess is in The Little Mermaid, School of Rock & Love Never Dies. She and Ramin Karimloo reunited for Love Never Dies which is the sequel to Phantom. Don't get too excited though. The music itself is fantastic but the story......not so much. I love how you appreciated the passing of the torch from the original Christine and original/former Phantoms to the new. It was beautiful. I hope you didn't get in too much trouble for not answering your wife's phone call. :)

I am LOVING your theater reactions! I joined your patreon when I saw you did Phantom, my original favorite broadway show. Then, of course, I watched all your other ones! The man who came out in the end was Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, the writer of the show. Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman were the original Phantom and Christine in the London Production. (I was really bummed Michael didn’t sing. 🥺) If you ever listen to the Original Broadway Cast (OBC), those are the voices you will hear. I would LOVE to see you react to the SEQUEL to the show, Love Never Dies! It’s a much different pace and setting to Phantom, but it is amazing (in my opinion)!

I think love never dies was their first time playing Christine and the phantom if I’m not mistaken. They were the OG cast for love never dies and then was asked to do phantom of the opera, so technically they were reunited for phantom of the opera 😂. I agree the love never dies music is beautiful but the actual plot is a bit too fanfic-y.

Man the tension they have in the point of no return makes me always think it’s the sexiest song in any musical lol

If you'd like to do a short bonus reaction between your main musical reactions, or even just watch it on your own time, there's some behind the scenes content for this production on youtube. "Staging Phantom for the Royal Albert Hall": https://youtu.be/JvLMzoNJj7k "Rehearsals with Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess": https://youtu.be/SReKaxOfpog They give you an idea of how this whole massive production was put together. It's pretty amazing!

Man, I'll never understand why she didn't pick the Phantom. I mean, I get it, but Raoul seemed too controlling for my taste and the Phantoms voice ugh... If a man sang to me like that you bet I'll go with him lol

When you finally watch RENT (Live on Broadway) and Les Mis (if you do the 25th anniversary) they also have those bonus moments of bringing back original cast members and no matter how many times you see it it's always such a special, touching moment.

I had so much fun watching this with everyone!

"I don't even have ONE CANDLEABRA!" I legit laughed out loud buddy, best reactions ever as always.

The 5 phantoms on stage with The original Christine... uhg what an amazing moment in history, along with that whole production. not to mention the original Phantom, sadly not singing.

The Phantom is not a supernatural being. Like Madame Giry said he is a genius. Composer, designer, magician and much more. With smoke and mirrors he fools everyone that he is indeed supernatural. The Phantom's voice is described as the voice of the heavens. Very seductive.

The youngest of the 4 Phantoms that sang with Sarah Brightman, i saw him live in the swedish production.

When a composer uses a theme or a motif in music to represent a specific character in the action, that's called a "leitmotif" (leit as in 'light' or 'lite', not 'late'). Comes from Opera but we still use it in movies and TV shows today. For one of the best pop culture references, go watch the original Star Wars Trilogy with the soundtrack by John Williams, or look up on Spotify Luke & Leia's Theme, the Imperial March, Yoda's Theme/The Force Theme, and give them a listen. Whenever they appear in the action, the composer plays their theme, and we react not just to the character and their actions, but the emotion of their theme at the same time. All part of the calculated emotional journey that storytellers in different media want to bring their audience on.

I just wanted to say early on, my husband went to CMU for music composition, and that 'it blows my mind that someone could write something for every instrument'--YES. He wrote to me when he applied and first of all they don't take every applicant, and they called him in to audition, including sitting him at the piano, giving him a few notes, and having him compose something in 10 minutes right there on the spot! Once in, they taught him not just music theory but the ranges and difficulties of each instrument so that as a composer he could work breaks into his pieces, know how far to push, what instrumentalists like to do, so that he could write things that people felt challenged by but also enjoyed playing. Sincerely fascinating!

'Give it up for the stage production crew' CAN I JUST TELL YOU there were NO wings, at the Royal Albert Hall?? Not in the way there usually is for this production! So the way people came on and off was, iirc, by scaffolding and built fancy staircases on either side which you can see! There's a documentary on the production and it's fantastic, not that you have much time to watch of course! 💚

LOVED your reaction to the kiss (and the whole thing really!!), I swear, this musical and Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves made me love bad boys wayyyy too much. You're absolutely right that this show does something to your willingness to be okay with certain events once they're in motion, like you said about Past the Point of No Return. The whole song is full of that tension, even though we intellectually know it's wrong! Others may have mentioned it, but the film version cast a decent actor (Gerard Butler) but did NOT give him the formal training, and his comparison with Ramin here is... yikes. I'd caution you only to watch it for the lulz, honestly, even though Emmy Rossum does a fantastic job in it with what she's given.

Last thing to add, there is a version of that ending where Sierra sings with some other Phantoms, and it's WORTH watching on YT because my gosh, Ramin just completely *commands* in those moments, they're so attuned to each other, hah. (I also want him to look at ME like that, holy HELL)

How To Train Your Dragon is also a really good example of the uses of motifs. The main character has his own theme and Toothless the dragon has his own theme. When the main character (Hiccup) finally trains him and they fly for the first time their motifs combine into one song. The score for that movie is absolutely incredible, John Powell is one of my favorite film composers.

This is totally off topic but I once was in a situation in band class that was similar to the situation with Carlotta being replaced by Christine. There was this senior when I was a freshman who absolutely hated me and had threatened to punch me on multiple occasions because I was a good flute player and she wasn't. I was in a pretty high rank in our section and she was in the back row, one of the lowest. She had the audacity to bring it up with the band director, saying that clearly she was better because she was older and had more practice. When I tell you she got shut down so hard lmao. Our band director didn't like being pushed around. Girl started crying and left class. Every time I see Carlotta, she is all I can think of.

Also during "Past the Point of No Return," notice that Christine lays her face against his cheek just for a moment and she can feel the mask through the cloak. That's when she finds out who it is and she's absolutely terrified, trying to keep calm in front of hundreds of people. I've always found that part very chilling.

React to Les Miserable, Little shop of Horrors, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sweeney Todd… Also Repo! A genetic opera. Repo is right up your ally cause it’s very metal. There is also the Beetlejuice musical you would like. Also there is the Huchback of Notre dame musical. Also I really think, if you don’t mind things in Japanese, you would like all the Black Butler Musicals. Trust me. Look up “I will be your shield and sword” from one of the black butler musicals. It’s got layers on layers and is crazy

One of the phantoms, Colm Wilkinson, was in the original productions of Les Miserables. Also the movie. I highly recommend the 10th anniversary Les Miserables. Trust me you won’t regret it
