Lily my first and favourite Christine!! I got to see her twice at his majesty’s theatre and Lily was phenomenal!! I even got to take a picture with her at stage door and she was so nice and sweet ! But this sound quality does not do her voice justice!! Anyone criticising should go see her sing in person before judging! Her acting and singing, especially wishing, will blow your mind.
Couldn’t agree more!!! I love her version of “wishing you were somehow here again”, she sings it so well, it’s such a pity we don’t see her singing it on west end live😢
GANTOM MY BOY YES I LOVE JAMES GANT. Also Lily Kerhoas is still one of the best Christines of the 2020s. I love her so much and I really want to see Lily in the London production of Phantom so bad
What an incredible cast! Raoul (Joe Griffiths-Brown) is amazing. Beautiful. Have seen the show about 12 times. It is and always will be a magical experience.
One of the best casts I've seen. And that's saying a lot because I've been visiting London for 20 years now. I've seen literally dozens of actors playing these roles (Phantom, Christine, Raoul). It's a rare thing to have THREE strong actors in the leading roles.
Great job! It’s always difficult taking a cast out of an intimate theatre setting and putting them in an open air environment. Bringing musical theatre to the masses. 👍🏻
I've seen the show three days ago and i'm still SO in love, i just can't get over how awesome it was. The whole cast was simply amazing. Joe really is the perfect Raul, a true prince charming with a hint of sassyness. And Lily Kerhoas is the best thing i've ever had the luck to see and hear. She was absolutely perfect, and not only her voice - her acting was beyond. I've seen PtO few times in different versions and i've never felt for Christin this hard. Also she and Joe have amazing chemistry. It was an absolute delight and pure joy to be able to experience this. 💖
What an amazing three performances, everyone was phenomenal. So glad The gantom himself James gant got to perform the title with lily, it's a shame Jon couldn't because of his injury(He's better now) but yeah wow amazing performances across the board.
Due to the speakers theyre using, the "Ahhhhhh...!s" are obviously pre recorded. No biggie tho coz they do that in the actual show coz the actress can't always hit those notes multiple shows a week. It's just the sound system here made that very obvious.
My music teacher showed us this today and said so u see that person there playing Raol (idk if that's right) I taught him music gcse and u could see on her face how proud she was
I need the audios of the songs! This singers/actors are phenomenal! Btw if you are in London and you haven’t gone to see the phantom of the opera you should definitely go! It is like you are watching a movie!!!
I never cared for Raoul’s character but when I saw the play for the third time in West End this fall, I finally understood! Joe Griffiths-Brown completed this character for me 🥺 The cast was absolutely outstanding and I was I crying in the end. I couldn’t say which was leader was better 😭❤️
The "All I Ask of You" performance was SO CUTE😭 I need someone who's seen their other shows to tell me if the giggles and silly moments were scripted or not😭😭😭
West End Live always has sound problems every year. In some years theres been perfomances that really have not sounded great cos the actors couldnt hear themselves etc. Apparently in a Heathers perfornance one year, the lead actress was crying backstage because of how disappointed she was with how she sounded :(
it's much harder to balance out classical singing mic-wise since the females will be largely in head voice whilst the men are in chest. Just sounds like the set up was balanced with "belty" approaches beforehand and not changed for the phantom crew....which we know...the shows rotate in and out pretty quickly during this event. Still....
Yeah I Saw James Grant Long Time Ago To Watch The Phantom of the Opera Her Majesty Theatre With Tim And Emma And Jess And Charlie And Jonathan And Sam And Chris And Billy And Nick And Robert Dress Up The Phantom Last Year Do You Remember On The Chandelier Crash Explode It And Then Half Time And Second Half And The The End On Playout
Sierra is an acquired taste, for example, I don't like her vocals at all, stop writing about her under every video. Not everyone has to like her. And it's disrespectful to other artists. This video doesn't even mention Sierra or compare artists.
Doubt she was asked. She’s Christine alternate. Lily is the main one. For 2025 I think she probably will be if she chooses to stay with the show. I hear she’s really good.
@@NotinAzerbaijan Paige Blankson was the alternative and she did west end live last year. Alternates are just as good and sometimes better than the main cast.
Phantom - Jon Robyns Christine - Lily Kerhoas Raoul - Joe Griffiths-Brown Carlotta - Kelly Glyptis Andre - Adam Linstead Firmin - Matt Harrop Piangi - David Kristopher-Brown Madame Giry - Francesca Ellis Meg Giry - Maiya Hikasa
My music teacher showed this to us today and said does anyone know what this is nobody pit their hand up so I di and said phantom of the opera and the girl next to me turned round and said how'd u know have u watched it I said no acc but it doesn't take sherlock holmes to figure it out she was not very happy with my response and rolled her eyes
Andre, Fermin and Raoul are amazing in this. The rest of them are just alright, they get the job done but they are not standout performances. Also, huge shoutout to the guy on the right providing the sign language interpretation!
That's just the fact that it's outdoors and bad mics. I promise she's amazing if you see her live in the theatre :) I wouldn't write her off just from this. Lily is the best
These last casts for phantom are so lackluster. Zero chemistry between the actors and the singing leaves a bit to be desired. They weren't awful, but not at the level I would expect if I would be paying hundreds of pounds per ticket. But I see in the comment section everyone's in love with them so what do I know...
@@grandpagirl agreed. have seen many, many recordings of this show and the current 2024 London cast is one of the best in a while. haven't been this excited about a takeover cast in a long time. genuinely excellent performances all around. i was shocked it felt like a new show
Forst time I've ever seen a phantom with a double chin. Gives me hopes my fat ass could do cosplay agin. They're literally pulling anyone who's lied about being in the high school drama club aren't they?
Judging by the pieces of paper some of the actors and actress are reading from it would suggest they do not know their lines . I really enjoyed the play overall but this makes it amateurish .Christine and the phantom sound good and they don’t seem to need pieces of paper
Idk if you've seen Phantom of The Opera before, but they are not reading their lines off a piece of paper. The second number is a song that takes place after the Phantom has given the managers a lot of letters. Those pieces of paper are actually props. They don't have the actor's lines written on them, they most likely say the same things as what the phantom writes to the characters in the show. You can see the cursive written on the letters and it would not make sense to write down their lines in cursive. But all of these actors are highly trained and very professional. Pretty much all of them have been in the show for a long time and would not need their lines written down. So that is not the case I promise you. :)
Lily my first and favourite Christine!! I got to see her twice at his majesty’s theatre and Lily was phenomenal!! I even got to take a picture with her at stage door and she was so nice and sweet !

She was absolutely magnificent!

I was wondering 😮 Her second part was definitely better.
She is the perfect Christine. Sooo beautiful ❤
No one above Sierra Boggess. Never
GANTOM MY BOY YES I LOVE JAMES GANT. Also Lily Kerhoas is still one of the best Christines of the 2020s. I love her so much and I really want to see Lily in the London production of Phantom so bad
I was lucky enough to watch the west end production a few days ago and Lily did amazing!!
Seen it twice this year both with Lily & Jon - haven’t yet seen James Gant but glad people like him as I’m (presumably) seeing him Wednesday!
Omg chumisa was ELITE in london
If you can manage it somehow go and see the show. Lily Kerhoas live on stage as Christine is breathtaking. You will fall in love 😉🩷
What an incredible cast! Raoul (Joe Griffiths-Brown) is amazing. Beautiful. Have seen the show about 12 times. It is and always will be a magical experience.
Nice to see Prima Donna being performed for the second time at West End Live
They performed that last year too
@@beneddiected the last time they did prima donna at west en live was 2021
It's long enough to allow time for Christine's costume change...
One of the best casts I've seen. And that's saying a lot because I've been visiting London for 20 years now. I've seen literally dozens of actors playing these roles (Phantom, Christine, Raoul). It's a rare thing to have THREE strong actors in the leading roles.
I have seen it in Broadway and that cast was much better then these , and especially the phantom has had many better performers.
LOVE the prima Donna choice - that’s what the people wanna see! Let’s do the full 12 minute Notes into Prima Donna next year🤣
Last Phantom casts are truly charming!
LILY'S SINGING SOUNDS LITERALLY JUST AS AN ANGEL
I love her acting as well. I've seen the original Swedish Production of the Phantom and I'd love to save up for the London production as well
Great job! It’s always difficult taking a cast out of an intimate theatre setting and putting them in an open air environment. Bringing musical theatre to the masses. 👍🏻

Hi Anna I'm looking to go see phantom but know absolutely nothing of where to go being up north which venue did you go to? thanks 👍
@usemoreoil I've seen the show in His Majesty's Theatre in London West End
@Anna3385 I know there's a few venues,is that the best?
one of the best casts ever love james as the phantom
Wow the phantom is amazing! They both are!
Wow, such a strong voice Phantom of the Opera!
I wish I could live in London…Ahhhhh…
Lily has my heart ever since I watched Les Mis the staged concert but daaaamn I am obsessed with the guy playing Raoul! Anyone have his name?
Joe Griffiths-Brown!
@fan-fx1zb thanks for saving me from having to ask the same thing
Really I saw him in January and felt he was terribly mis-cast.. they need to get Jac Yarrow in that role.
@tmancusorn I'm not a huge phantom fan so I don't know how well he fits the role but his voice is stunnnning
@@IV2000 I’ve seen it around 30 times now so that’s probably part of my problem. You develop a specific taste for each role
I saw Lily as Christine two days ago and she was absolutely incredible, my first and favourite Christine ever
Only saw it yesterday in 19th November but the young lady was brilliant also loved the male role Michelle has a great voice
Christine’s voice is so powerful! ❤
Just returned from see the show , the whole cast were magnificent. I could watch and listen to lily Forever 😍
Wow what an amazing voice!!
Seen it twice and can’t wait to go again. So amazing ❤❤❤❤

I really love lily as christine and joe as raoul😭😭😭😭😭😭they are phenomenal in all i ask of you😭😭😭
Forever my fave Cosette
Phabulous West End Phantom cast and crew! Dearly missing Phantom Broadway!!!
I can't wait to move to London and to treat myself to a show once in a while and definitly West End Live 😊
YEEEEES, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS THE WHOLE DAY 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️ God, this new cast is soooo good and soooo talented, I'm really impressed 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My music teacher showed us this today and said so u see that person there playing Raol (idk if that's right) I taught him music gcse and u could see on her face how proud she was
I don't know what it is about "PHANTOM" but THIS performance brought tears to my eyes because it was just SO INCREDIBLE!
🎉 Go Ganton! Never been able to see you as Ganton but maybe one day!
Go David! 🎉
I need the audios of the songs! This singers/actors are phenomenal! Btw if you are in London and you haven’t gone to see the phantom of the opera you should definitely go! It is like you are watching a movie!!!
Raoul is so handsome!
Saw James Gant a coupe of weeks ago, he was brilliant!!!
i thought jon robyns was the phantom?
@@bzgamer41 There are 2 actors that play the Phantom in London and Jon Robyns wasn’t there that day
@@cianog6200Jon Robyns said that he broke his ankle a day before the West End live on his instagram.
When I saw Phantom i honestly thought Kelly stole the show as Carlotta, she was phenomenal
You are all so amazing ❤
I never cared for Raoul’s character but when I saw the play for the third time in West End this fall, I finally understood! Joe Griffiths-Brown completed this character for me 🥺 The cast was absolutely outstanding and I was I crying in the end. I couldn’t say which was leader was better 😭❤️
Watched it and love this Christine
James Gant is absolutely the best! His voice, gestures! Amazing
The amazing Kelly Glyptis 👏❤🌹
Saw it in the theatre last week, totally amazing. Lily is fantastic.
Genuine and authentic content makes these videos so relatable.
Gonna see this musical next month. I LOVE this phantom and I can't wait July's coming.
Joe Griffiths Brown is amazing!
He’s gotta be the worst casted in this role in a decade, hope he’s run his course by November when I go back to see it again
@@tmancusornThe word is *cast. Do stay in school and work on your English.
@@anwynoakenshield thanks for your lesson in English… let me re word it… he sucks!
@@tmancusorn *reword
It's ONE word, not two.
Maybe consider staying in school.
I wished I could have seen this LIVE , always been a fan since I saw the famous movie ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can we please get the audio of these songs of these actors? I went the previous Wednesday to the theatre and I loved their voices
Gantoooooom ❤❤
James are so amazing I love you
She's amazing!
The "All I Ask of You" performance was SO CUTE😭 I need someone who's seen their other shows to tell me if the giggles and silly moments were scripted or not😭😭😭
I think the best performance of Chirstine is Sierra Bogges!😍
I really want to see James Gant as the Phantom in person now
Definitely do it! I saw him in February of this year and I was blown away by his performance. it was so so good
I completely recommend it! His voice is amazing especially live and I feel he deserves more credit for it. 😊
I really wish I could but not sure what dates he’ll be performing. Could probably find out by calling the box office tho..
@@ThahidJon’s injured so next few weeks he should be on most performances if that helps.
@@millymitch8842 I saw him in February too
That sign language translator on the far side though 🥰🥰🥰🙏🏼
My god her voice!
Apparently the audio team didn't know how to balance voices with the music 😂
It’s a free event! We all knew the sound wasn’t going to be the best! But live this was actually amazing
Raoul my love
I was there, but toward the back. I couldn’t hear the second half of the performance because the church bell sounded for the next 20 minutes.
something wrong with the mics? or the sound of the video? because the higher female voices seemed to be really quiet
West End Live always has sound problems every year. In some years theres been perfomances that really have not sounded great cos the actors couldnt hear themselves etc. Apparently in a Heathers perfornance one year, the lead actress was crying backstage because of how disappointed she was with how she sounded :(

Brilliant
WOOOOOOW
7:53
At 03:21, did she say "she's there"?
“He is there” that what she said
Definitely she's there 😂
This is why Christine and Eric are the best Broadway super couple of all time
Sierra Boggess is the best in my opinion
Sierra is an acquired taste, for example, I don't like her vocals at all, stop writing about her under every video. Not everyone has to like her.
And it's disrespectful to other artists. This video doesn't even mention Sierra or compare artists.
6:53 Carlotta and Piangi in the background!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A pity that Chumisa didn’t take part in this. I’m not sure if she declined or wasn’t asked.
Doubt she was asked. She’s Christine alternate. Lily is the main one. For 2025 I think she probably will be if she chooses to stay with the show. I hear she’s really good.

@@DAN44100 both of them were at the last one. They showed two Christines
I'm new to opera, could someone tell me the titles of the songs? pls
It's The Phantom of the Opera (title song), Prima Donna and All I Ask Of You
Christine and Phantom forever
Really missing Music of the Night from this performance.
Where was this?
Trafalgar Square in London. They do this event every year and it's so cool!
Who playing meg giry in this cast?
Maiya Hikasa
Kto wykonuje tę wersję. Może ktoś pomoże?
Phantom - Jon Robyns
Christine - Lily Kerhoas
Raoul - Joe Griffiths-Brown
Carlotta - Kelly Glyptis
Andre - Adam Linstead
Firmin - Matt Harrop
Piangi - David Kristopher-Brown
Madame Giry - Francesca Ellis
Meg Giry - Maiya Hikasa
They didn't even need any of the fancy scenery.
what is the name 3'st singer? (boy)
Hes so fine
Are you talking about the man playing Raoul? That’s Joe Griffiths-Brown.
Are they actually singing live? I'm hearing control problems, but better than canned voices.
They're singing live and doing a great job. The West End Live videos always have a bit ropey audio.
Up until the "Sing For me" because the audio changes. At least that's what I think.
@@Twananas You might be right. They're pretty much straight into the matinee after this, so it'd be sensible to save it.
West End Live mics are known for being a bit.. bad
@@C33sworld There's also them having to live mix songs from lots of different shows with very little rehearsal. It turns out pretty good, considering.
Who was the phantom?
James Gant
Not to keen on that raul, but acquired taste i guess.. i remember years ago, not being a fan of ben forster to be honest.
My music teacher showed this to us today and said does anyone know what this is nobody pit their hand up so I di and said phantom of the opera and the girl next to me turned round and said how'd u know have u watched it I said no acc but it doesn't take sherlock holmes to figure it out she was not very happy with my response and rolled her eyes
I enjoyed it but i didnt feel anything
Andre, Fermin and Raoul are amazing in this. The rest of them are just alright, they get the job done but they are not standout performances.
Also, huge shoutout to the guy on the right providing the sign language interpretation!
Is Christine's mic broken or something because I can BARELY hear her
The church bells were incredibly annoying
Yeah sadly Trafalgar Square (where they do this) is right across from St. Martin's in the fields church so that was very unfortunate timing.
呃是為了表現他們情緒的激動嗎?拍子忽快忽慢好難受喔😅
She sings to quietly for my liking
That's just the fact that it's outdoors and bad mics. I promise she's amazing if you see her live in the theatre :) I wouldn't write her off just from this. Lily is the best
What in the world is this Christine?….
Lily Kerhoas

this sounds and looks like a high school production
What do you expect from a 15min FREE event section??
Sadly not as good casting as a few years ago!
Prima Donna is my least favourite song in Phantom of the Opera. It’s the only song in the whole show I would skip.
オペラ座の怪人に限って言えば、ウエストエンドより、日本の劇団四季の方がレベルが高い。
いやウエストエンドの方がいいと思う、生でも動画でも。
Erik cannot sing about Piangi needing to lose weight anymore cos pot is calling the kettle black!
женский вокал очень слабенький
Forst time I've ever seen a phantom with a double chin. Gives me hopes my fat ass could do cosplay agin. They're literally pulling anyone who's lied about being in the high school drama club aren't they?

Are you joking? The people holding pieces of paper are holding the Phantom's NOTES, a key element to the plot.
Idk if you've seen Phantom of The Opera before, but they are not reading their lines off a piece of paper. The second number is a song that takes place after the Phantom has given the managers a lot of letters. Those pieces of paper are actually props.
