Here’s an update to my post of Novemabout the Les Miserables 25th Anniversary. It will remind you of why Phantom, which recently celebrated its 10,000th performance in New York, is the longest-running show in Broadway history. And if you miss it there, the DVD is now available. If you haven’t caught it yet, you can still do so on Saturday evening, March 10th. Phantom has been airing on PBS this week as part of its Great Performances series. All of the performers are excellent, with Sierra Boggess really outstanding as Christine. I had not seen Phantom for many years before attending the anniversary performance when it showed in theatres across Canada last October 3rd and I enjoyed it very much I had forgotten how moving this musical is. ![]() Canadian Karimloo (read interview here) is a veteran of the London Phantom, and starred, with Boggess, in Lloyd Webber’s Phantom sequel Love Never Dies in London in 2010/11. ![]() The special presentation features a cast and orchestra of over 200 and stars Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom, Hadley Fraser as Raoul and Sierra Boggess as Christine. Last fall, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera reached a milestone birthday. Sold-out performances of the show on October 1st and 2nd at Royal Albert Hall celebrated the 25th anniversary of the musical’s London premiere and were filmed for viewing by fans worldwide.
