Ce de stresat am fost aseară Doamne ferește..

Am vazut o păianjen în pat ameu ș-apu m-am spăriat așa de mult că am dormit jos în într-o altă cameră cu sora mea și nu am putut să dorm fără cântic de ortodoxă și m-am sculat, am venit înapoi în cameră mea și am vazut că o fost ucis și acum beau cafea cu ciocolată și ascult lofi să mă liniștesc💀🤌🏻

The Phantom of the Opera - 35th Anniversary Live on Broadway

Not usually one to post this sort of thing, but considering the historical significance I couldn’t not. Please enjoy.

Cast: Ben Crawford (The Phantom of the Opera), Emilie Kouatchou (Christine Daaé), Paul A. Schaefer (u/s Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny), Raquel Suarez Groen (Carlotta Giudicelli), Craig Bennett (Monsieur Firmin), Nehal Joshi (Monsieur André), Maree Johnson (Madame Giry), Carlton Moe (Ubaldo Piangi), Sara Esty (Meg Giry), Carrington Vilmont (Auctioneer), Jim Weitzer (Monsieur Reyer/Hairdresser), Tug Watson (u/s Jeweler), Laird Mackintosh (Monsieur Lefèvre/Firechief), David Michael Garry (Joseph Buquet/Don Attilio), Jeremy Stolle (Passarino), Kfir (Hannibal Solo Dancer), Weston Krukow (u/s Il Muto Solo Dancer), Kanisha Marie Feliciano (Page), Chris Georgetti (Porter/Fireman), Trista Moldovan (Spanish Lady), Satomi Hoffmann (Wardrobe Mistress/Confidante), Elizabeth Welch (Hannibal Princess), Kelly Jeanne Grant (Madame Firmin), Janet Saia (u/s Innkeeper's Wife), Jason Forbach (e/c Marksman)

Notes: Recorded from the Front Mez. The person beside me was enjoying some theatre snacks throughout the show, so apologies for any disturbances as a result of this. I also missed the very beginning of the Entr'acte, but there's a few other masters out there should you want to do an insert. Includes the full speeches during curtain call (including the boos when they mention the closing), and the shout out to the swings. We missed you Greg!

Truly a magical night, with absolutely amazing energy. As others have said, Emilie's "Wishing..." might be the best I've ever seen.

And to the guy outside the theatre with the sign asking for an extra Playbill, who I graciously gave my extra to, only to then notice him tuck it into his jacket and continue to stand there gathering more of the limited edition Playbills: the Opera Ghost is not pleased...

- O.G.

NOTES: 35th anniversary performance, fully tracked. The energy from the audience was such an incredible thing to experience. There's LOTS of cheering! Emilie's Wishing got an extended applause with some standing ovations and was one of the best performances of it I've ever seen. Some rustling can be heard at the start of each act as I try to set up and avoid being seen by ushers. Had to hush some people talking behind me at one point and you occasionally hear the guy behind me laughing like a snake. But hey you also have to hear me laugh, awww, and even slightly cry from being overwhelmed by the performance so I'm also guilty. A video of curtain call and Ben Crawford's full speech is included. Please gift upon request.

Who are your favorite traumatic Christines? I mean, Christines who really have fear. Great screams, great cry. Christines who really portrayed fear. I'm very interesed in this kind of performance.

I think Julie Hanson is at the top there. I got the sense that she wasn't coming out of the 'Final Lair' okay; she'll likely carry the trauma of that event for some time after. I also think Samantha Hill did well at portraying fear, especially with Hugh Panaro, though she had some good fierceness too.

I also tend to think of those dreamy, nervous, dramatic Christines. Anna O'Byrne is number one in that spot, so hysterical and on the verge of going mad at times. Lauri Brons is another great one, tense and anxious even before she realizes who the Phantom is, though like Samantha Hill, she has great strength there. Olivia Brereton and Gina Beck have some great crying faces, you really feel when watching them that they are falling apart. Isabel Schwartzbach was yet another, a fragile voice and big eyes and a waifish look. And I also remember Trista Moldovan being like that, a constant scared look on her face, especially with Tim Martin Gleason (and rather less so with Hugh Panaro, where she was more "well put me down as scared and horny").

Anyway, hope some of those satisfy your curiosity!
