I will never get enough of seeing Ramin and Sierra play Phantom and Christine together. They're absolute perfection.

[kristashafer]

Fun Fact: The title song is the only one pre recorded. All combinations. Leads, Alts, Understudies. They do this to protect Christine’s voice from having to hit that insanely high note at the end.

[ansleyhendrix]

Gosh! So many good ones! But I’ve got to say “Wishing You were Somehow Here Again” … Especially when Sierra Boggess did it at the twenty fifth anniverserary was remarkable! So full of emotion and her clear, resonant tone just gives me chills everytime.

Farewell, Phantom, it had a phenomenal 35 year run on Broadway, but it's time to take a final bow. My favourite songs are probably "Point of No Return" or "Angel of Music."

[KiaraMykie]

5:36 The best part of Magical Lasso is that his description of the Phantom is actually closer to the description of the Phantom in the original novel.

[gilangsetyawibawa]

To be honest, Ramin and Sierra are HANDS DOWN! THE BEST Phantom and Christine EVER!

[redneved]

After wanting to see Phantom live for years, I finally flew to NY to see it a couple weeks ago. It was so worth it

[KZ-tq]

I grew up going to Broadway shows, but none affected me as deeply as seeing Michael Crawford in Phantom. I took my children to see it years later, and now my granddaughter loves it. I am so sad that it is closing.

[mayabewsher]

Wandering child has always been my favourite. It comes at the perfect moment after the climax of Wishing you were somehow here again. The first notes of Wandering child always reduce me to tears. Seeing Christine's fragility and the Phantom's love for her in this song just hits me in the feels.

[bojanabujosevic]

The only thing I regret is never having a chance to see poto personally, especially with Sierra and Ramin playing the main roles. I am totally obssessed with this musical and with Rierra combo. They are perfect

[ark]

wandering child is criminally underrated imo, especially with all 3 characters singing. all I ask of you and point of no return are probably my favourites, though

[CooperCapturesGallery]

Thank you so much for all the bits with the Original Phantom, Michael Crawford. NO one else has the pathos, talent and skill he brought to the role.

[stitchesandstaples]

Can you imagine being the final phantom for broadways run and sing the last part “it’s over now…” I can’t imagine not crying listening to that if I was there. Putting every last bit of you into the last bit.

[xxkerosenexkidxx]

Music of the night is so iconic, as is this musical. Phantom has and always will be my fave of all time and I'm so glad I got to see it more than once in New York over the years

[paulmoore]

Fun fact: The Music of the Night was not originally written for this show. It was intended for Aspects of Love and he wrote it for Sarah Brightman to sing.

[caseymacmacl]

I grew up watching Michael Crawford in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. An absolutely brilliant comedy actor. I bought the POTO soundtrack and it was literally years before I realized that Frank and the Phantom are the same guy!! Sorta like watching The Andy Griffith Show and then hearing Gomer sing. Michael will always be the Phantom to me.

[kyratries]

Farewell Phantom, what a wonderful run. ❤
Personally I would have ranked Down Once More higher because of how beautifully it meshes all those melodies together for such an emotional finale, but Music of the Night is also (imo) the most gorgeous song ever on Broadway. Every time I saw it performed I was in tears.

[Gmk]

I can’t believe it’s leaving Broadway. Maybe someday, in some theatre, I will be able to see it.

[angelasilvi]

My favorite songs are Music of the Night, Wishing You're Somehow Here Again, and Point of No Return. I love POTO and it will be sadly missed.

[TheLauren]

Farewell, Phantom of the Opera. It is and will always be my favorite musical. "All I ask of you, Reprise, " "Music of the Night, " and "Down Once More/Track Down The Murderer" are my favorite songs from this amazing musical.
