These lyrics are different. I guess they changed them for the American productions, in contrast from the British production. Quite interesting… I like these lyrics as well! Thank you so much for sharing this ultra rare recording. You definitely rocked the role. What was it like for you in that production? Did you enjoy the show and role? And what was the makeup like for the production? What was your favorite number?
Thanks Emily! It was a lot of fun being spooky every nite. All the "monsters" I've played share the same quality. That of a beautiful soul hiding under a horrible visage. I enjoyed the experience and the people were fun. We also toured during the height of "Phantom" mania, so 'twas a trip.
Thank you so much for posting this and giving such an amazing performance, mister Blanchard! I’m a long time fan of Ken Hill’s Phantom and now actually hearing what the North American tour sounded like is quite surreal for me after years of just seeing silent photos (the TV spot is too short to have proper understanding of the sound aspect). Obviously, here you will only post songs of your performances but is it possible to get the full audio of the show somehow? I understand that the comments section might be not the greatest place for such questions but the only other way to reach you is direct messages in Facebook which I’m hesitant to do just to avoid possibility of intervention into your personal space
Thank you @vampireintheopera8931, appreciate your kind words. Unfortunately, I don't have the full show. It was a long time ago! I'll dig deeper and see what I've got. Cheers!

Awesome! This is in the aria’s original (baritone) key from Faust!
Thanks @hauntsandamusements. You know your arias!
@@SteveBlanchardStuffYou’re welcome! It’s one of my favorite arias and you nailed it!
