LAIRD MACKINTOSH, THOUGH
From his days as principal Raoul and u/s Phantom in Toronto (two first photos) to principal André and u/s + principal Phantom on Broadway - and then doing the very last performance of the original Broadway production... That is one for the books.
Phantom legend right there.

Behind the Mask - The Making of Toronto's Phantom of the Opera [AI Upscale]
Documentary by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, ca. 1989
An in-depth look at the making of the Original Canadian production of The Phantom of the Opera by the CBC. Featuring interviews with the cast, production crew, and creative team behind the production. Detailing the rehearsal process, the restoration of the legendary Pantages, and the work that goes into bringing the award winning mega musical to the Toronto stage. It also includes the promotional music video for the title track, featuring stars Rebecca Caine and Colm Wilkinson and shot on location on stage at the Pantages.
This newly enhanced version was taken from our original VHS to DVD transfer. It was then run through Topaz Video AI v3.1.11 using the "Deinterlace footage and Upscale to HD" preset. Enhancement was using the "Dione: TV 2x FPS" AI model, with "Add Noise" set to 3, and "Grain" amount set to 5 and size set to 2. While this may yield a slightly over-sharpened file, it was felt that this was the best approach for an asset that would then be compressed and uploaded to YouTube (and further compressed).
Presented for archival and educational purposes only.

I don't often gif moments from the rooftop unless it's, like, Meredith Braun looking positively eager rather than frightened at the whispered "Christine" or Olivia Safe being lukewarm when Raoul kisses her.
But Laird Mackintosh's Raoul in Toronto was just too fucking cute
Look at this. It's so adorable I hate it.

I don’t think I have seen this photo of Rebecca before? Not nearly as common as the one in color with her holding the scarf, at least. Very beautiful, from here.

Ethan Freeman (The Phantom) bowing to the monkey at the end of his last performance of Phantom of the Opera, Essen, 2006.
PoTOmer Day 14: GIFSET-Ethan Freeman bows to the monkey.
I love this moment so much. Ethan just loves this character and put so much care into being Leroux accurate--and he is as Lerik as Merik gets. He was one of the earliest Phantoms, starting in the Vienna production and then playing in Toronto, London, and Essen. What a beautiful farewell to the show for him. I wish we had more of him (we only have two boots of him, this one and one from London in 1995)
Between April 23 and June 11, I am posting 49 days of POTO content to mark the Omer, except on Shabbat. Previous days below the cut line.

Your Ramin/Colm POTO post - check out the video of when they were in Les Mis together in Toronto in 2014. They had Colm on as the Bishop one night for charity and same feels when they do Valjean's Soliloquy together
Anon. !!! My friend. This is one of my favorite videos on the entire planet.
Everyone. Please. You must see this. You don't even have to know who these people are, it's just so dang heartwarming and beautiful. Not to mention. Their voices. This is 100% worth 4 1/2 minutes of your time.

Imagine getting on stage with your hero when you're now playing the role that he originated, and hearing him talk about you like this. asdfjkglkrsf.
#bless you for the excuse to post this (and rewatch it again)#thanks for the ask!#anon#ramin karimloo#colm wilkinson#les miserables#the way ramin steps back at the end to let colm finish the song skfsfklsdijlkdf

Do you know if there are any photos of Kip Wilborn as the Understudy for The Phantom or Brian C Duyn as the Understudy for Raoul
Aaaaaw, no luck with Kip Wilborn as the Phantom I'm afraid. Lots of Raoul photos as he was principal Raoul, but I find no photo documentation of him as the Phantom. But there's a handful of Brian Duyn as Raoul! Two he shared on his Instagram:
And one with Gay Willis and BABY LAIRD Mackintosh - which makes me think Toronto c. 1995?
