Phantom of the Opera is probably one of two shows I can tolerate of Andrew Lloyd Webber's work (the second is Evita). I personally have never been a big fan of him, but I don't mean to offend anyone if they do.
Last year, my school put on Phantom of the Opera and it was a really big success! The show was probably the biggest production my school had ever put on but it was done flawlessly.
Anyway, I'm posting a very famous song from the show, "Music of the Night", because this song can make or break the actor playing the Phantom and how well the audience likes the show. If he can sing it, then he and the show will be liked. If not, then the entire show will be weak and hated.
This particular video is from the 25th anniversary of the show performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London, starting Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom (he's currently starring as Jean Valjean in the Broadway revival of Les Misérables) and Sierra Boggess as Christine Daaé (she's returning to Broadway in May as Christine again in The Phantom of the Opera). Either way, listening to both of them is heavenly.
