    I'm a complete musical novice, someone who three years ago would never go to one. Bought a trip to London for my girlfriend with tickets to this and it was great. How anyone could be disappointed in this is beyond me, it really is. Cracking show, cracking music and singing, get yerself to it.

    • @TheRealityfades
      @TheRealityfades 8 років тому +3

      +TenakaKhan1981 TBH, I was disappointed with this performance and I'll tell you why: in the West End, there's a habit of hiring light sounding Christine's like Emmi. She's not bad, but I'm used to the Broadway production [which I've seen like nine times so far], where they cast heavier sounding Christines like Sierra Boggess, Sandra Joseph, Marni Raab, Rebecca Pitcher, etc. So it's not that Emmi was bad per se, just that it's a matter of personal preference in my case.

    • @POTOGURU25
      @POTOGURU25 8 років тому +6

    • @TheRealityfades
      @TheRealityfades 8 років тому +1

      POTOGURU25 No she's not. Christine is supposed to be at least twenty, at least in the book. The 16 year old thing comes from 1. people who saw the movie and 2. a mistranslation from the original French book.

  • @The-Musical-Lover

    I've read few people complaining on the blonde wig. I personally think it looks better, and it nicely fits with the white nightgown.

    • @The-Musical-Lover
      @The-Musical-Lover 7 років тому +4

      fxntasyland How so? I saw the photos, the star princess actually looks really cute, with Hannibal it looks normal like on Meg, and it's absolutely gorgeous with the wishing dress. And the wedding dress- it's white, so it fits the same as the gown in this video. I saw Emmi with a brown wig, and it really doesn't fit her.
      Look, I like brunette Christine as well, but I don't get why the blonde wig gets so much hate, just because it's something new. They've been changing the brown wig from "almost black" to a really light shade of brown over the years and nobody complained.

    Ben has a good voice but he sounded off from time to time and not in sync with Emmi. I wonder if he had difficulties to hear the music. And the last note was to short.
    Emmi is really good. I like her clear and deeper Soprano voice than many of the very light "teenage voice Christines" we sometimes hear in the London production. Christine is supposed to be young but to sing like an angel and not like a teenage girl. Looking forward to hear Emmi with Peter in the swedish production this fall.

      TheMsiaddict Ramin is a lovely guy and no doubt very talented, but his voice is untrained and it shows. In LND, Anastasia and as Enjolras in Les Mis, that doesn’t matter so much as they were more “pop/rock”, but it absolutely does for classical roles like Phantom and Valjean.

But Some people like a more operatic voice like John Own Jones which I can totally understand. And yeah, personally he's not my fav Jean Val Jean, but for a mysterious romantic dude like phantom, for me, he's perfect

      Matt Cammelle was one of the best underrated Phantom because he was the standby of Earl Carpenter. The rare gentle and soft one. His MOTN is difficult to match. He's gliding from whispers to high notes effortlessly. He's not busy touching his hair but busy wooing Christine.

      When someone is cast in a show, the people in charge come to watch at some point (rehearsal or show) and see what they want. For Emmi, they wanted her blonde (maybe because she is Swedish) and not a brunette. It's the same with Les Mis, Zoe Doano has a blonde wig because the directors liked her blonde.

    I think I am the only one here who loved both his voice and his performance. I actually think that the character needs some feeling, and acting a little weird is to me basically part of the character. He is madly in love with Christine and will do anything for her. Loved this.

      They ought to stage a POTO production where the actresses playing Meg and Christine should switch roles every other performance. Kind of like that Gilligan's Island episode where Mary Ann falls on her head and thinks she Ginger and Ginger pretends she's Mary Ann.

      London productions always have the fixed Christine as I know. They don't switch with Meg.

    I saw Ben and Celinde last week, and it was incredible. I feel when performances are out of context it always changes it. For the actors haven't got fully into character. I think Ben is a fantastic phantom. And I do like Emmi here. But I didn't see her live

    I wish he would stop touching himself. The best Phantoms are the ones who don't try to be sexy. I know he is new to this role, but my goodness could they coach him? I do like the blonde wig considering the book has her as blonde. It has always bothered me that they didn't go by the book on such an easy detail. Maybe many Phantom "phans" have not read the book and therefore don't know. Oh, well. I just can't get into this couple. And he doesn't use an English accent. Hello! He is playing the role in London for goodness sake.

    She is very very good but I saw Celinde Schoenmaker on her opening night and I am still recovering from it months later it was that good with easily the Best Christine in Celinde and by far the best Phantom ever in John Owen Jones.
