The Phantom of the Opera: Final Public Performance on Broadway - April 15, 2023 (Evening)

The Phantom of the Opera
Live on Broadway
The Final Public Performance
April 15, 2023 (Evening Performance)

*NOTE: I found there were some issues with the sound on my previous upload of this performance due to using too much noise reduction, so this is a re-upload with more consistent sound through-out, plus I added some extra video footage I took from after the bows when we all refused to leave the theatre haha -- enjoy!*

This was such a magical evening. The REAL final performance, the one that actually mattered - not the "privileged people and the people who got lucky and won a completely poorly handled and unfair lottery only" performance that occurred the following evening. This was the one that counted, for the actual fans.

I can't really put into words how wonderful this night was, and to try and put it into words would be an impossible task as it is. But it was a beautiful, magical evening and one I will remember and cherish the memory of for the rest of my life.

As of right now it seems only audio is circulating from this night, so I'm putting it out there that if anybody managed to film this performance, please consider releasing it. This night was very important to me and it would mean the absolute world to me if I could be able to have it captured that way to be able to relive it again.

Alright, please enjoy :)

So happy to hear this. This audience was clearly knowledgable and appreciative of everything that makes Phantom so great. As the last public performance, this was the enthusiastic send-off it deserved. Kudos to the actors keeping their emotions in check with the electric audience.
