    • Phantom of the Opera - Orlando, FL. - January 11th 2004
      Brad Little, Rebecca Pitcher, Tim Martin Gleason,
      Little's final performance, so one can guess that it's very emotional.
      Little's voice isn't my favourite, but great final performance with a lot of emotion
      Pitcher also not my favourite Christine, but good nonetheless. Gleason as Raoul
      was good as always Little flubs his "Christine I love You" line because he is crying, very moving.

    • Phantom of the Opera - Cincinnati, OH 3rdNT - Dec 18th 2005 . Gary Mauer, Elizabeth Southard (alt), John Cudia, David Cryer, DC Anderson, Kim Stengel, Rebecca Judd (u/s), John Whitney, Kristi Patricia (u/s)1st gen (from DM). Recorded from the 5th or 6th row back, stage left. Complete show from pre-show announcements to right before curtain calls at the end. Great quality, far and away the best Phantom audio I've ever heard - you can hear everything - the elephant being rolled across the stage during Hannibal, paper rustling in Notes, every breath Beth takes in Think of Me and Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, Beth's gasp when Meg touches her shoulder during Angel of Music, Meg's "rehearsals, always rehearsals," the ballet rats chattering during Magical Lasso, Gary's little "oh!" gasp at the end when he realizes that Beth has returned (to give back the ring), and the sheet being pulled away from the throne at the end just to name a few. Two small flubs - the gun doesn't fire during Seal My Fate (it makes a little popping sound you can hear on the recording) so John makes a quick save by telling the marksman he should have fired; also, John forgot his "but why?" when Madame Giry was explaining about the punjab lasso. The cast was incredible that night. One of the last audios of David Cryer on tour as Firmin - he's leaving for Broadway some time in January.

    • Phantom of the Opera - London - May 13th 2004
      Earl Carpenter (SB), Robyn North (u/s), Tom Solomon (u/s), Richard Hazell, Sam Hiller, Judith Gardner Jones, Heather Jackson, Jim Heath, Heidi Ann O’Brien. One of the only and definitely the best quality audio with all three London standbys/understudies.
      Was a little on the quiet side but crystal clear with no overload anywhere. I've managed to bring out the voices so that it's not so quiet now. The best performance by Carpenter I’ve heard: he doesn’t struggle at all and North just gets better and better, especially her vocal quality, Solomon is a great understudy as well. 2CD (A-)

    • London- Dec. 21, 2005

    • Phantom of the Opera - San Francisco - Jan 3rd 1999
      Franc D'Ambrosio, Lisa Vroman, Christopher Carl, Michael Lackey, Richard Gould, Patricia Hurd, Rebecca Judd, Gualtiero Negrini, Jennifer Gould
      There are NO 3-SECOND PAUSES. Closing Night of the San Francisco production. Includes closing speeches from principals. Analogue hiss & some skipping during the Prologue and Prima Donna track. Very enthusiastic audience, numbers like MOTN bring the house down.
      And D’Ambrosio and Vroman, WOW what a pair. Vroman is a wonderful Christine. Franc D’Ambrosio is brilliant, he has a unique voice that has an unearthly “echoey” quality to it. His “Say you’ll share with me…” is superb.
      2CD B+

    • Phantom of the Opera - September 27th 1996 - Sydney
      Rob Guest, Danielle Everett, John Bowles
      Last show in Sydney       WMA format

    • Phantom of the Opera - Providence, RI - March 16th 2006
      Jason Mills, (u/s) Marie Danvers, Jim Weitzer, Kim Stengel, Stephen Tewksbury (Piangi u/s),
      D.C. Anderson, John Jellison, Patti Davidson-Gorbea, Kate Wray
      1st Generation - Jason Mills' FIRST performance as the Phantom, and a great first
      performance it is. Recorded from the third row, and unfortunately features a tone-deaf fan
      humming along with one (short) part of the Overture. Missing the Entr'acte, and features
      some disruption in Point of No Return just after Marie removes Jason's mask, due to the
      person to my right crawling over me and running out of the theatre.
      Some hiss due to being recorded on .mp3 recorder, but a unique recording of a Phantom's FIRST performance.
      2 CDs (B)

      Lovely quality, and Brad is in fine voice, he sounds great. Ana's pronunciation is a little odd sometimes. John is unimpressive though.

    • Essen - 4 December 2005 (2CD, A) Phantom - Christian Müller (u/s), Christine - Sandra Danyella, Raoul - Nikolaj Alexander Brucker
      A good quality audio, with some minor electronic crackles occasionally. Christian is excellent, with a wonderfully smooth and powerful voice to match. Performed in German.

    • Brazil - 28 July 2005 (2CD, A-)
      Phantom - Saulo Vasconcelos, Christine - Kiara Sasso, Raoul - Nando Prado, Carlotta - Edna D'Oliveira, Mme Giry - Paula Capovilla, Meg - Carolina Puntel
      Performed in Portugese. Saulo's Phantom is one of my favourites, and Kiara sounds lovely       ??????????????????????

    • Austin - 3NT - Feb. 8, 2004 Gary Mauer, Sarah Lawrence (u/s), Tim Martin Gleason, David Cryer, DC Anderson, Patty Goble (u/s), Patti Davidson-Gorbea, Jimmy Smagula, Kate Wray. Nice digital audio, though some overloading at points and a little hiss. Lawrence is good understudy; Mauer isn't as good here as he is later in his run. 2CD (A-)

    • London – 30th September 2004 - 7:30 PM John Owen-Jones, Katie Knight-Adams (alt), Oliver Thornton, Richard Hazell, Sam Hiller, Sally Harrison, Heather Jackson, Rohan Tickell, Claire Tilling. Nice audio, though a little fuzzy at times. Better performance than the 4th September for JOJ, he sings the hell out of MOTN. 2CD (A)

    • London - 16th August 2005 Matthew Cammelle (SB), Rachel Barrell, Oliver Thornton, Richard Hazell, Sam Hiller, Sally Harrison, Rohan Tickell, Emma Edwards (u/s), Heidi Ann O’Brien. Nice audio, from the pre-show announcement to the exit music. Matt's a good Phantom, with the kind of deep, powerful voice that suits the role, though his diction is a little odd. Rachel Barrell is a great Christine, as ever, and Thornton tries hard but it's very good. 2CD (A)

    Phantom of the Opera (DVD)


     

    • POTO:  Sapparo (Japan Tour) -  April 6, 1994
       Eiji Akutagawa, Hisako Hanaoka, Kanji Ishimaru   Remastered to include chapters and a menu.  Includes Eiji’s curtain   speech.  Incredible quality for its age. No gen loss whatsoever,   clear image and sound,  lovely close-ups and flawless following of   the show.   I *love* Eiji's bench  scene in PONR--he goes for the   gold.  He takes sexual frustration beyond any other Phantom I've seen.

      Geena Jeffries Mattox as Carlotta, Tim Martin Gleason, John Wolfe,
      Lawson Skala, Rebecca Spencer, Brianne Morgan, Larry Morbitt.
      Wonderful Cast! very nice quality. Starts at end of “Think of Me.” It's a very nice capture! A+

    • POTO: August 28, 2006 (7 PM) - Las Vegas
      Anthony Crivello, Elizabeth Loyacano, Tim Martin Gleason      , Elena Jeanne Batman, Lawson Skala, John Wolfe, Rebecca Spencer, Larry Wayne Morbitt, Brianne Kelly Morgan
      2nd gen from master. Quite shaky with lots of wandering and a blurry picture, facial expressions can rarely be discerned. I just can't see Anthony as Erik, he does some things that are good but for the most part it's a very mediocre performance; the same can be said for Elizabeth. Tim was a shocker, he was a lot more animated in this than he was on the tour or even Broadway. Interesting to see the changes that have been made, although some are really neat I could do without most of them. Missing a few minutes in Notes I with a few random seconds of another musical in its place.

    • The Phantom of the Opera – US Tour Salt Lake City+ Philadelphia 1999: Ian Jon Bourg/Brad Little, Rebecca Pitcher, Richard Todd Adams, David Cryer, Ian Jon Bourg; highlights video compiling performances of Ian as both the Phantom and M. André (Brad plays the Phantom when Ian is André). Only video of Ian from an American production.

    • 1999 - Philadelphia and Salt Lake City, USA
      Ian Jon Bourg (u/s)/Brad Little, Rebecca Pitcher, Richard Todd Adams,       David Cryer, Ian Jon Bourg
      About 1 hour and 20 minutes of highlights. Brad Little is the Phantom when Ian is Andre. The footage with Ian as Andre flickers back and forth from color to black and white and the whole video is rather shaky. The sound level from the different locations also varies. Still it's the only video with Ian as Phantom in the American production. Includes Hannibal rehearsal when the managers make their appearance to the transformation during Think of Me (you see Rebecca's arm for about 10 seconds, other than that it's all Ian), most of Think of Me (focused only on the managers' box though - awww Richard, so precious!), the part before Little Lotte when the managers are talking to Raoul, The Mirror right when the Phantom starts singing (Ian is the Phantom), the title song (with Ian as the Phantom) but only the parts Ian sings (BAH) until they're in the boat (then it's the whole thing), Music of the Night (Ian as Phantom), Notes I and Prima Donna (with Ian as Andre), Il Muto (with Ian as Andre) starting at "heart aflame" and focused on the managers' box with some small cuts throughout, All I Ask of You reprise (Ian as Phantom) but ends before the chandelier crash, most of Masquerade (Ian as Andre for the beginning, then Ian as Phantom when Red Death appears), most of Notes II and Twisted Every Way (Ian as Andre), Wandering Child/Bravo Monsieur (Ian as Andre), Point of No Return (Ian as Phantom) until he's demasked, then Down Once More (just the Phantom's parts, Ian as Phantom), and the Final Lair (Ian as Phantom). Includes a brief shot of curtain calls when Ian is Andre and another small segment when Ian was Phantom (I believe). Ian is pretty much a perfect Phantom in my book - very tall with a commanding voice and an even more commanding stage presence, yet capable of great tenderness when the moment's right. He makes a pretty good Andre too, I'd never believe it was the same guy if I didn't know better. You can't get a good feel for either Rebecca or Richard in this since it's so focused on Ian, but I love them both.

    • The Phantom of the Opera
      Broadway - 10 August 2005 (matinee)
      Tim Martin Gleason (Phantom u/s), Susan Owen (Christine alt, u/s), Stephen R. Buntrock (Raoul u/s), Jeff Keller (Firmin), George Lee Andrews (Andre), Anne Runolfsson (Carlotta), Marilyn Caskey (Mme Giry), Larry Wayne Morbitt (Piangi), Kara Klein (Meg), James Romick (Don Attilio) Some shakiness due to a moving head in front of the taper. The first minute of Il Muto is missing, nothing life-threatening. Some cover-ups because of ushers. Tim is a good Phantom, I much prefer him here than as Raoul. He plays well opposite Susan, who is usually an understudy but got bumped to alternate for that week.

    • Phantom of the Opera - Broadway - August 13th 2005 - Matinee
      Stephen R. Buntrock (u/s), Rebecca Pitcher (u/s), Fred Rose (u/s), Jeff Keller,
      George Lee Andrews, Anne Runolfsson, Marilyn Caskey, Larry Wayne Morbitt,
      Kara Klein, David Gaschen (Auctioneer), Tim Jerome (Don Attilo)
      New camera, better image and color quality in low light but shakier when I move the shot.
      Lots of latecomers as well as ushers hunting down a flash camera in the mezz during
      Act Two results in about five minutes of cover-ups, including most of the Overture, half of ToM, half a minute of Bravo Monsieur, most of Seal My Fate, and half a (insignificant) minute of PONR. Buntrock is remarkable, incredible acting and an effortless voice. His Final Lair is one of the most unique I've ever seen. The only video of his Phantom. Pitcher is okay, her ToM cadenza is great but her acting is nothing special. Rose is remarkably forgettable, snobby, overbearing, and forgets some lines in Notes, he hadn’t played the role in a long time.

    • Making of the Hungarian Phantom of the Opera
      Runs about 30 minutes. Includes comments from ALW, the production director, the music director, the actors, and just about everybody else involved. Amazing footage of rehearsals, clips of live performances, auditions, and much much more. Subtitled in English by hedge_hog and jstarz927. CD-rom (A+)

    • Midday Show With Derryn Hinch - Australia - July 26 - 1994
      In 1994, when Phantom fever was at it's peak, the Midday Show, hosted by Derryn Hinch filmed a special show at the Theatre Royal in Sydney.

      Stars of the show include Rob Guest as the Phantom, Marie Johnson as Christine, and Peter Cousens as Raoul.The show covers interviews with the actors, sharing personal experiences on and off stage; technical information about costumes, sets, and the chandelier; and four full length production numbers. Staged production numbers include Masquerade, All I Ask of You, Prima Donna, and Music of the Night. It was videotaped off the TV. Therefore it is clearly not a commercial item, and of course has the "chops" where the adverts were edited out. Not that you can really tell except for the logo reappearing to let you know the show is starting again. DVD (A/A+)

Curtain calls were not taped.  Camerawork is shakey at times and strays away from the action.  Also a little on the darker side.  DVD [B]
