    As soon as I saw the violinist and the words "Phantom of the Opera", I knew they were going to talk about that solo. That thing is notorious among violinists.

    Awwwww the violinist is so innocent and adorable in the beginning. She isn't as loud and and crazy broadway power house singers Seth brings in. She looked so nervous (like she was out of her element) at the start haha. What an amazing musician. Brava!

    Bless that woman. She looked so nervous and out of her element. She did so well and was amazing. Great job.

    I can sing the entire musical, EXCEPT that High note. Once I start practicing with a coach, my goal is to be able to complete the song!

    The minute I saw violinist from Phantom and then Seth began by talking about a part that was scary, I knew exactly which part he was talking about. Brava to this violinist!

    I worked with Gay in the Toronto production years ago as the Slave Master. She looks as pretty as ever! Hi Gay!

    I used to play violin in high school, so that solo makes me cry in happiness and fear at the same time. Fantastic

    I LOVE this violin solo before "Wishing"... one of my favorite parts of Phantom.

    that solo gives me chills every single time. I also love the 3 second musical interlude before the "in all your fantasies" verse of the title song.

    Holy carp, I’m a musician (clarinet) so I was always curious about the violin part. Solos are bad enough as a pit in musicals but that violin solo is just amazing! Props to everyone who plays it every single time. Mad respect for Jan! She deserves to be on camera omg thank you so much for shining light on her!
