Re: The Phantom Of The Opera
I love this show!
I saw it in the summer when I was in London and it blew me away - especially Ramin Karimloo who was playing the Phantom. He had an amazing voice. I'm going back to London at Easter-time next year & I'm hopefully going to see it again, but there will be a new Phantom at that time as he is leaving to do Love Never Dies.

Re: The Phantom Of The OperaIt's been confirmed he will form part of the OLC of Love Never Dies.(Original post by Kayleigh90)
Ramin is my favourite theatre performer EVER! His voice is stunning and he has so much passion and emotion in the role of Phantom. I'm gutted he's leaving, but if the rumours are true, he will be performing in Love Never Dies when it opens. Yay. -
Re: The Phantom Of The Opera
Favourite Musical ever! I'm drinking from my trusty phantom mug as I speak (well type)
I went to see the show a few years back in Her Majesty's, and I blubbered like a baby at the end! I was just sitting there with my jaw open most of the show, I was 2nd row from the front, I just wanted to run on stage and hug the Phantom... I wonder how Erik would react to that? :s -
Re: The Phantom Of The Opera
Hi all, after seeing the previews of the sequel I have just been introduced to Ramin who seems awesome and am looking into going to see it next week on my visit to London.
I was just wondering on your opinions of the cast roles of Phantom and Christine ie Ramin and Nigel Richards US/Gina Beck and Tabitha Webb US?
The reason I ask being just on the off chance Ramin and Gina are not on but would like your opinion on all. Thanks in advance. -
Re: The Phantom Of The Opera
Good idea to catch Ramin before he leaves next month, he's the only Phantom I've seen but I do think he's superb!
I've heard Tabitha Webb singing before and she sounds very good, she was with the company for a year or two already before she was bumped up to Alternate so I would guess she has only improved! I've not seen Nigel Richards either but Mark Shenton (One of the writers for The Stage) saw him at one of his very first performances and was very impressed, and I'd rate his opinion very highly!
Also, if it helps, the Christine Alternate usually does Mondays and Thursdays. -

Re: The Phantom Of The Opera
I was lucky enough to get to see Ramin in the role last week before he moves onto the sequel and what can I say? He was incredible and can see why ALW wants him for Love Never Dies. Also I got to meet him briefly before the show by I stroke of luck by the stage door, seems a genuinely nice guy, after chatting he shook my hand and hope I enjoy the show and I did.
Gina Beck was in the role of Christine, the best I have seen or heard.
As much as I love the recording of Michael and Sarah, if these 2 did one, I'd buy it in a second. -
Re: The Phantom Of The OperaTabitha Webb is very good, I saw her in a matinee with Ramin. I hadn't realised it was her until the show had finished, I thought it was Gina Beck :P but she was amazing.(Original post by misaachaydenk)

Saw the show last week at Her Majesty's Theatre, absolutly fantastic!
I will defineitly be going again before the years out, might have to give it a while though as our tickets cost almost £70!, worth every penny though

Re: The Phantom Of The OperaYou could try restricted view seats- i think they are usually about £15, and you could also try the kiosks on the day of the show you want to see- but there's always a risk they won't have any tickets. If you want the good seats, you will have to pay, but it's still a very enjoyable experience int he cheaper seats!(Original post by MissBlueskys)
How did you guys afford to see this?
I love this show so much but whenever I look for tickets they are £65-£85! I can't afford that but I am desperate to see it.

Ohh I'm glad. Ramin is amazing. Thanks for the info!
