Just watched the 25th Anniversary show a few days ago and loved it! (ALSO FINALLY ABLE TO WATCH THIS SHOW HUHU) The songs have been stuck in my head since— I guess you can say the Phantom of the Opera is here inside my mind 😉 lol sorry not sorry
Just watched phantom for the first time, and honestly? Neither the phantom nor raoul did it for me. I think christine and meg would have been a great pairing
I had listened to the OBC recording of Phantom of the Opera a couple of times, but it wasn't until I bought The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall on Blu-ray on a whim and watched it that I understood the appeal of the musical. And from then on, Sierra and Ramin were my definitive Christine and Phantom (Sorry, Sarah and Michael!). For Sierra, it was her performance of "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" that sealed the deal. It was such a departure from Sarah's delicate songbird rendition. Sierra brought a ferocity and longing to the song that blew me away and made me believe for the first time in Christine as a character with her own hopes, fears, and dreams.
Also, the greatest Sarah Brightman role will forever be the blue diva in The Fifth Element (yes, I know she only does the singing). Don't try to argue with me on this.
Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing…
10 of my favorite Hadley Fraser as Raoul moments (gif edition).
No doubt Hadley is, and will probably remain, one of the most popular Raoul’s. Personally, I think his Raoul could sometimes be a bit emotionless or on the more aggressive side, though I don’t entirely blame him. Besides the fact that he was going off of what he was being directed to do, he had also never been in the show before and had only a short time to get acquainted with the part. But I think he also had some wonderful moments that make up for it. So here are some of my favorites!
Being so proud of Christine and excited to see her again,
I have always interpreted this as him not just being happy to see her, but also happy that she remembers him too!
Visibly being more serious/concerned/sympathetic when Christine mentions that her father has passed and coming down to her level to comfort her.
Him being adorably confused as to why Christine is asking him to love her when he already is!
Just cause I love Hadley’s smile.
Bringing her hands to his chest and closing his eyes because that’s just how much he loves Christine and needs her to love him in return.
I love how he holds Christine’s head. And of course the kiss. Cuteness overload.
More of his smile. And also how happy and relieved he is to find Christine after looking all over for her.
Christine is his number one priority.
This part has always stuck with me all these years. He looks so defeated and disappointed thinking Christine chose the Phantom.
