This was perfect. I cried when Earl went down on his knees. When I saw Hugh Panaro and Samantha Hill this past spring, I cried so hard and uncontrollably that during the bows (when I was still sobbing) the actor playing Piangi smiled at me and so did a few others..... including Hugh Panaro!

Wow... that was one of the most tender kisses I've seen between a Christine and a Phantom. Most of the time it just feels cold and dead between the two, but with this one you can understand why the Phantom would be so moved by Christine's sacrifice. You can almost see it in the Phantom's head how he realizes he can't keep Christine with him in darkness.

+Camilladilla I agree with you... and his reaction when he feels her touch his face is so perfect. No one has ever touched him there and it shocks him so much. I feel like he wanted to keep her more out of spite after she revealed him to everyone and denied his affection. Then he realized he was hurting the only person who ever did care for him.

Ok now.. It takes a LOT to move my attention away from Hugh Panaro or Michael Crawford, but this man...why am I just realizing? His tender MOTN slays me, and now, in this scene, his quiet elegance ( 1:52 -the way he says delight!! Gah!! ) with little bits of explosive crazy peppered in, ( 1:58 - holy moly!!! And 2:27 ) are genius! Then that dramatic, quiet, drawn-out lift of the gate after "be my guest sir"....His acting subtleties are just gorgeous to watch.I love how his "start a new life with me" sequence is staccato instead of flowing, and connected. ( 3:10-3:19 ). It ups the drama and tension. And 3:27 -the way he ends "return" and then slumps over the organ in utter distress. He makes me tear up. At the sound of Christine's tears at 4:51, they way he immediately reacts and turns to her, reminds you of his tenderness and how much he loves her...oh my gosh. I could go on and on about him. (You: "you HAVE!!!" Me: "oh, this is nothing" ) ;) I'll stop now, bc his face during the kiss, and the utter heartbreak that follows, would have me typing for hours, and the YT people would ban me from comments. :) But WOW, Earl Carpenter.Thanks for this upload!

I really do love that he almost forgot about his face, but when Christine touches it he remembers about that all of a sudden and hides it once again with the hand. And at 06:08: his face shows that he is positively surprised, happy, but immediately changes again like he is thinking: "It is impossible it is happening to me, I don't deserve this"

Sure he doesn't have the most powerful or smooth voice, but who said all phantoms have to sing that way? Earl does something very different and beautiful to the phantom's voice and personality and that's why I love him.

Wow, I loved all the emotion Earl put into the phantom...just great. Ramin's interpretation also had a lot of emotion, but I think I don't like his performance as much because it's very easy to see the vulnerable side of his phantom throughout so the breakdown after PoNR doesn't seem to be as far of a leap emotionally. Earl's was so subtle yet powerful, I could feel all of the phantom's desperation and humanity pour out into the audience both here and during stranger than you dreamt it. Bravo!

I agree with you. I think each actor brings something different to the phantom which makes you fall in love with them. Some you fall in love with their voice, others their acting. I agree that both Ramin and Michael bring vulnerability to the phantom and it is easy to fall in love with both their acting and their voice. I fell in love with Earl's acting, but his voice isn't too bad, either.

Though I must, I had a quiet giggle to myself at a couple of his parts, and I can't imagine the prop people would have been very happy with him at the way he treated the automaton - I actually felt quite sorry for the poor, unsuspecting object! What did she do to deserve a detached hand? LOL Love it.
