Rebecca Luker died last night. I had to come back to watch this. It is so so sad that Rebecca died, but it is so so wonderful that she lived. You will be missed.
Ooooooo. That would be a great twist. I’ve seen videos with one Christine and many phantoms, so that would be a cool thing to see. What song would you want to see performed this way?
So I realize that I’m 4 years late in posting this comment, but I’m watching this again and I just got to the point in the video that Seth and James bring Hugh Panaro on, and the way he literally coos “hi Lukey” to Rebecca is The SWEETEST!!. Aw. I didn’t know of Rebecca for long at all before she passed away but I appreciated her Immensely Gorgeous voice right away.
Rebecca Luker, best Christine ever. My girlfriend and I got standing room tickets in 1989 for Phantom; it was a tough ticket to get. I had never heard of Rebecca Luker, but her voice took the breath out of me (and still does). A few years later, we saw The Secret Garden and I recognized the name, and of course, the voice. After that, we tried to see her in all her performances, Broadway, Off Broadway, Cabaret. About 40 performances, including the oddball "Can't Let Go". Best performance: "Darling of the Day" at the York. Just floored me. Thank You for so many years of wonderful memories. You got a bad hand dealt you later in life, it's just a "bad business" as my father used to say. It's just so unfortunate, as it is for all people that have these diseases. Sigh. Wish you well, for what that is worth.
I only discovered 20m ago that Rebecca died two days before Christmas last year (I don't think the news made it to the UK, as I don't recall reading about it), so in her honor, I have come back to this video now and I will rewatch. RIP Rebecca x
I know it’s a long stretch but an interview that could have like more stores from Patti, Dale Kristien, Sarah Brightman, Michael Crawford, Rebecca Caine, Claire Moore that be cool
For those of you who haven't seen this yet, I'll save you the trouble of finding the most moving moment of the video: 53:10 prepare yourself. Also, not to say that all of this isn't absolutely fantastic, obviously, it is, and it's so much more priceless now that we've lost Rebecca; but seriously, at least watch that part....
Rewatching this for the 2nd time in February 2021. I want to see Phantom on Broadway (I have never seen it on Broadway) and sit directly beneath the chandelier!
100% you must see it. I will say, sitting in the first four rows is fantastic for the chandelier, however, do not scorn getting seats further back, you get to see the proscenium (the angel sculptures around the stage) and Phantom himself appears way up high, and you wont be able to get the full effect if you're in real close.
They do not sing the entire title track???? I thought it was only the high E. But maybe it's to complicated to just put one note on playback. Sierra looks shocked that he revealed that.
Brandon McCollum Michael Crawford met the AEA's requirement since the only exception was if the performer was an international star, which they deemed adequate. Brightman on the other hand didn't qualify at all. ALW publicly pulled a lot of strings and made guarantees that other producers wouldn't never even get the opportunity to negotiate. Could you blame the rest of the OBC for not being impressed with Brightman to begin with? Every critic across the pond and in New York noticed it, "After months of playing ''Phantom'' in London, she still simulates fear and affection alike by screwing her face into bug-eyed, chipmunk-cheeked poses more appropriate to the Lon Chaney film version." Ironically, Frank Rich's review was one of the nicer ones.
@UC74NmQ3-TJWo5HJBRIfJphQ She did receive very good reviews in London before she came to the states where she was expected to reach unrealistic standards. We clearly are not going to agree on this.

Nnmm
So sad just stumbled on this awesome video!!!
Yea so sad, far too young!
I need a Phantom duet where it's just one Phantom and ALL the Christines singing. KO at the high note. It will be awesome!!!
Ooooooo. That would be a great twist. I’ve seen videos with one Christine and many phantoms, so that would be a cool thing to see. What song would you want to see performed this way?
I love how Hugh calls Rebecca “lukey” its so cute💕

I remember Daae Days with Sierra!

I'm sure you had seen her on TV talk shows/TV adverts etc
Before she was in: The Secret Garden surly??
I just LOVE Sierra Boggess but all these women are amazing. RIP Rebecca Luker.

I love Sierra Boggess, Rebecca Luker, Gay Willis, Ali Ewoldt, and Patti Cobenour.
I know it’s a long stretch but an interview that could have like more stores from Patti, Dale Kristien, Sarah Brightman, Michael Crawford, Rebecca Caine, Claire Moore that be cool

This was amazing! Just delightful listening to all the 'Christines' and the stories..I hope lots of funds are raised for ALS.

The end tho😂😂😂 you guys are EVERYTHING, do another video with other Christines too! Kaley Ann Voorhees, Meghan Picerno, Eryn LeCroy💙💙💙
Always informative and entertaining. So much personality.
The masquerade phone call was so clever.

Rebecca Luker is my favorite Christine I saw her in 1990
Lea Salonga was Miss Saigon in Broadway in 1991 and she won the Tony..

1:12:21 Whoa, James!
They do not sing the entire title track???? I thought it was only the high E. But maybe it's to complicated to just put one note on playback.

They’re not really able to sing live with all the moving around, going backstage, getting into the boat...
What did Sierra do tho after she lost her tooth??😱😱😱😱
i’m pretty sure she had to get a fake replacement!
What is LND BRITNEY?

hahah they want sierra to sing love never dies in a Britney Spears voice
Charlotte Potter oh my god she should do that 😂 thanks for answering btw ❤️
@@beneddiected np :) and ikr! haha it would be so good
Mjoo
Poor Sarah. It’s been over 30 years and she’s still getting crap for getting the Broadway spot. Crawford was a Brit too and he never gets any shade.
Brandon McCollum Michael Crawford could act ...
@@TheBeautifulDisaster not at all the point.

Sarah is much more divisive than MC. Her voice is beautiful on the high notes but otherwise weird - and her acting wasn’t good.
