I love it when the actors are immersed in their part, you can tell that they are not on autopilot.

4:36 .. BRAVO. Most Christines plead when they sing "Angel of Music" but it's almost like Harriet uses her voice as a weapon. So much anger and emotion. This is my favorite final lair because the acting is absolutely perfect.

kind of like gina beck did in hers i mean i havent seen this one yet but i think gina's could be described the same way

I love how she screams "no" when blocking Raoul. I'm becoming more and more fond of her Christine every day

I love the no too

Definately one of the most heartbreaking final lairs ever *-* I really cried when I saw this... The way the Phantom is acting is just beautiful I love it!!

I like the West End blocking of the Final Lair a lot more than the Broadway version. It's more intense and emotional.

It obviously depends on the actor. However, in general the London production seems to give their actors a little more freedom in certain places: - When Christine is shielding Raoul, London Phantoms will often grab her and hurl her around. Bway doesn't. - Immediately after, London Phantoms will sometimes try and attack Raoul, causing Christine to either shove herself between them or to stand down the Phantom. Bway Phantoms will move away, though their Christines will often try to grab them, only to be shook off. - With the line "I gave my mind blindly", London Christines tend to sing it more hopelessly, while Bway Christines sing it more angrily - One lyric change: in London Christine sings, "We had such hopes and now these hopes lie shattered!" while on Bway, they sing something like "We had such hopes and now these hopes lie murdered!"

+Iwant Candy Christine sings "I gave my mind blindly" a bit slower and more sad, not angry. She doesn't scream it at the Phantom. Also, what GP said about the Phantom hurling Christine away from Raoul. Small things like that which make the scene more emotional for Christine especially.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! btw I want to say that I'm in love with your tumblr site, especially your reviews and your favorites list!

Nelle Biremandie thank you for replying, I see what you mean now!

This is probably one of my favorite final lairs. John Owen-Jones still has top spot, but this is also really fantastic, kind of perfect in its own way.

I really can't understand why in the movie Christine didn't try to help Raoul. She just stand there and stare. This is why I prefer this version.

My thinking is she knew the dress would be weighed down too much by the water. It wouldn't be practical

@PrismsofGlass

She promptly wades into the water to kiss the Phantom, though, and it doesn't seem too difficult for her to wade over and get to Raoul once he's freed. Anyway, it's the gesture and thought that matters - Christine fighting life and limb to save her boyfriend, and with a waterlogged dress, comes off much stronger and more emotionally invested in Raoul than a prettily crying Christine, standing uselessly on land.

True. I forgot that she eventually did. But then, also, unlike in this version, in the movie the phantom is holding the lasso. She only goes in the water when he moves away more.

@PrismsofGlass

I just checked, and he's actually still holding the lasso when she goes to him. He probably only drops it during or after the kiss. But again, it's more the gesture and thought that is important - Christine probably knows it's almost futile to save Raoul, and that she can't get the lasso off in both versions, but in the musical, she does everything she can to get it off Raoul anyway or block him from further attacks from the Phantom. (I've seen one Christine who even tries to support Raoul so he doesn't strangle as much.)

+Glass Prism What is the cast for the one where Christine tries to support him?

6:58 Erik’s NOO NOO was so damn painful. It was as if he was trying to tell her, “I won’t harm you precious Raoul. Because I love you!”

Te amo Geronimo

I love how she's visibly fighting back to keep Raoul safe!

Bravo! Now that was a good twist.

WOW! What a performance!

Gerónimo é fantástico! Linda voz e linda interpretação. Dá pra sentir o sofrimento do fantasma em toda a cena... como ele fica magoado quando ela vira as costas pra ele... Amei a parte que ele pega e fica olhando para a folha de papel com a partitura... tipo, ele não aguenta mais tudo aquilo, ele está esgotado. A parte que ele tira a gravata, joga longe e desabotoa parte da camisa tb é outro ponto forte da atuação dele. Ele é o único que faz isso. Dá pra ver na expressão dele o quanto ele está lutando pra não perder o controle totalmente na cena antes do beijo... como ele reage quando ela encosta no rosto dele 😢... quando ele canta "Christine, I love you" de um jeito tão doce... tipo, a agressividade foi toda embora e o que fica exposto é o lado machucado, solitário e extremamente frágil do fantasma... e quando ela vai embora, ele diz "No, no, Christine, no". Céus, partiu meu coração esse Final Lair. Bravo, Gerónimo, BRAVO! A Harriet tb é uma ótima Christine!

even the phantom is crying at the end of this scene

No voy a llorar... No voy a llorar!

woah this is a phenomenal cast!

Whoa, this is killer!!! 😍 Reminds me of the intensity I saw in Gina Beck's final lair!

Omg the phantoms reaction to being touched kills me

Whenever I see Harriet I think of Adam’s Mum in Beauty and the Beast

Ugh how I wish I could've seen Geronimo! If only they moved the British phantoms over to Broadway, or have them stay in their roles for longer than a year!

Anyone else notice while she sung tears of hate Geronimo looked at sheet music like I'm done with this situation.

oh my god, im sobbing

harriet's emotion makes me chills!!!!

OMG! thank you for this - Harriet is a queen

What a protective Christine!

9:40 is me when I think of Erik's whole situation

Superb acting! Very exciting and moving. I've NEVER seen a Phantom tear off his tie, tear his collar open and hurl the tie. LOVE unique moments like that! Keeps the show continually fresh. Do you have the whole show with this cast or at least most of the Phantom's scenes?

I want to see it on Broadway but I love the blocking

i would sell my soul for Point of No Return. If you could even send it to me privately or link me somewhere privately. Please I'm desperate!

Where is the full video of this show? I have been searching forever.

Yes, though many traders are willing to gift things to newbies and non-traders.

I was there.....

I hate the phantom's voice, but his acting is amazing! I love when he's recalling his childhood, it sounds like he's trying to push away the memory because it's too painful.

The most crucial part of the final lair, and you cut it off at the end.....really?? Don't you reckon it would be better the other way round?

It's where the video ended. Blame the person who filmed it, not me. And I mention this in the description anyway.

Geronimo Rauch is fantastic. Perhaps the best ghost of all

I love this Christine although the Phantom overacts a little

this final lair was just brilliant
