Turn your face away from the garish light of day,

turn your thoughts away from cold,

unfeeling light - and listen to the music of the night...

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you.
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you...

 "Ballerinas" Christine:

1. Patti Cohenour, Broadway

2. Tamra Lynn Glaser, Los Angeles

3. Sierra Boggess, Broadway

4. Kristi Holden, Las Vegas

Do you remember when Sierra made some videos from Phantom Broadway backstage? Like "Club Christine" etc. So, this part is my favorite... 

You alone can make my song take flight...
Help me make the music of the night....

Oh, I love Norm's Phantom. 

Wishing you were somehow here again...

Knowing me must say goodbye...

Try to forgive

Teach me to live

Give me the strenght to try!

Most people say that Sierra's wig in the show at Royal Albert Hall is awful. Well, I really don't know why. Of course, for the beginning the second act her wig is a little...disheveled, but it looks so natural. It's good. For the first time, when I saw the show, I thought, that there are Sierra's natural hair. It look really nice for me, and I still think, that her wig is the best of the one.

Christine's Wishing dress

Original

This is classic victorian dress. Perfectly suited to the XIX century. Maria Bjornson knowed what exactly young ladies worn in that epoch. Colores are amazing, generally my favorite color is blue so... I love that corset(?). Narrowing in waist optically slims silhouette. Beautiful sleeves. Love that costume. Unfortunatelly on these photos you can not see a back of this dress, but - as you know - is really big. As I said before, this outfit looks like real XIX lady's costume.

Coat is classic, creators had a amazing idea to give Christine red scarf.

Hungary non-replica

I think that this dress was inspired by original. It was good idea but this collar looks like napkin (sleeves also - and by the way they're too short), Skirt is nice. Colores could be a little more dark. Generally is really good. 

Coat is beautiful! Shame, that Christine haven't any scarf or something, but I really like it.

2004 movie

Designers had a really good idea to create Christine's dress in black color. It looks like Christine wore this outfit a sign of mourning (and probably exactly was like that). Sling on her head is nice, but - in my opinion - it could be not transparent.

Big black coat obscures Christine's outfit, so I can not say anything about her dress, because I can't see it. Sorry.

Really nice contrast between flowers and outfit.

Polish non-replica

As the rest of polish costumes, this outfit is failed. Once again, creators gave Christine a crinoline. God, why?! Dress is really poor, it haven't any ornaments except of this one cross on her chest. This color remind me a color of toilet paper. Unfortunately, this costume is bad.

Czech non-replica

Inspiration of Maria Bjornson's projects. Perfect. I really like this costume. It has AMAZING back. Love these valance. Color is beautiful, sleeves could be a little more long, but it's good. Interesting outfit. 

I think it will be the best non-replica.

Summing this all, I think that original dress and that outfit from Czech non replica, are the best.  Perfect suit to XIX century. Good job.

And in this labyrinth,
where night is blind...

He's with me even now

Your hands are cold

All around me

Your face, Christine, it's white!

It frightens me,

Don't be frightened...

Club Christine, Broadway

Famous POTO pairs

Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman

The first Phantom and Christine. Michael is amazing actor, Sarah has incredible voice (her acting is really average). They both were remembered by world of theatre, plus Sarah is famous singer, so a lot of fans likes this musical because of her. 

Because of the fact that they are the first POTO characters, they both in a certain sense sign up in the history because of the fame of the show.

Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum

Probably the most famous POTO pair in the world. They played Phantom and Christine in 2004 movie, and they did it horrible. Their acting is awful, interpretation is totally different than in the theatre show. Phantom is hot and sexy, Christine is stupid and naive. For me, they both cannot sing, but this is another matter.

Almost all the people in the world associate the musical with they. And of course about 60% "real" fans who watched only the movie, says that poor Emmy-Christine should choose Hot-And-Sexy-Phantom. No comment.

Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess

Ramin and Sierra are promoted wherever possible. Their "romance" started in Love Never Dies, where Ramin played Phantom and Sierra played Christine. I think that they were friends before the production started, but I'm not sure of that. Anyway, for the good promotion for Love Never Dies, Cameron Mackintosh and Andrew Lloyd Webber, chose they both to 25th Anniversary of Phantom.  

For the new phants, Ramin and Sierra are number one. 

I like these both. Maybe for me they are not the best , but Sierra is fantastic Christine (in the Royal Albert Hall show, for now on the Broadway, she is phenomenal), Ramin is good Phantom.

Ben Lewis and Anna O'Byrne

They are not the famous like Ramin and Sierra, but associating with each other. Phantom and Christine in Australian Love Never Dies. They look really nice together. After the role of LND Christine, Anna git the role in the original POTO in London (good decision), Ben unfortunately(hmmm) not. He has really nice voice, but his face in the show...
