Description PHANTOM: Battle of the Cast

*PotO Overture playing*
From Paris Opera to Coney Island and beyond, no one will stop making an entrance to portray three biggest characters in the legendary "PHANTOM" series.
And the audition begins!
From 1986 , Mr.Michael Crawford brings The Phantom, the tragic protagonist,to life in the haunting musical The Phantom of the Opera. While Ms. Sarah Brightman plays his obsession, the lovely singer Christine Daee, with a heavenly voice. And Mr. Steve Barton portrays the dashing young Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, who managed to captured Christine's heart in this musical.
From 2010 this year, Mr. Ramin Karimloo took over the role of The Phantom in the sequel Love Never Dies, which portray this character to be less "horror". While Ms. Sierra Bogges is Christine Daae, lover of The Phantom and one who just had been lured to America by the mysterious "Mr.Y". And Mr. Joseph Millson plays Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, now a drunken gambler and not a very good husband.
From 2004, Mr. Gerard Butler portray The Phantom in a first ever movie adaptation of the well known Phantom musical. While Ms. Emmy Rossum portrays the beautiful soprano and The Phantom's protege,Christine Daae. And Mr. Patrick Wilson plays Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, Christine's other suitor with long blond hair.
And last but not least, from beyond, the not-so-original cast decided to give a try singing in the opera house. Mr Zachary Quinto plays the malevolent main role of The Phantom, genius "ghost" of the opera. Danielle Panabaker is his object of love and obseesion, the beautiful Christine Daae. And Garrett Hedlund portray the Vicomte de Chagny, on motorcycle, trying to win Christine's heart.

The stage is set, the music begins to play, and... curtain!



notes: Simply for fun, I'd like to see how it will turn out if I combined pics of all the actors and actresses who had (and not yet) played the three main characters from the "PHANTOM" series. Add a little bit of dark yet romantic touches and...voila! A comparison of everyone.
Of course I add a little bit of my casting choice (maybe if there any PHANTOM project to be made in the future) in the last row. I really thought ZQ,DP, and GH would be perfect for the roles <3<3<3
None of the comments above are intended for offensive reasons or anything. Like I said, it's simply for fun.
Your comments are much appreciated!

btw, sorry for the wrong year I put on the original musical (first row). It should be 1986, not 1989.

OLC forever! No matter how many other actors and productions I see, I always go back to the OLC.

Singing-wise, I would say OLC, but acting-wise, I would say 2004 cast. I saw 2004 first so it has a special place in my heart <3

OLC FTW.
Always liked Michael C's voice and acting, and Sarah was a really great female protagonist. Not everyday you see two guys fall in love with a girl with hair that SUPER BUSHY ((okay I'll give Viktor Krum and Ron Weasley a chance they liked Hermione. But other than that)).
I love her hair idk
Steve was equally awesome, commanding yet gentle, strong yet loving. RIP, Steve. We all miss you.
The rest... EVERYONE GO HOME.
Ramin and Sierra are p good but LND is a major NO.

I love Michael Crawford's voice!!! It's the perfect Phantom voice seriously

Aussie cast was superb as well. Well, they saved the show. Plus, Ben Lewis and Anna O'byrne looks exactly like how I imagined Phantom and Christine originally

I know, right?! And Sarah Brightman is exactly how I picture Christine to be. Giant eyes and all. XD

Anna O'Byrne is probably one of the most beautiful Christines ever. I just love her!

The 25th Anniversary cast rocks but have you considered the original Canadian cast? Colm Wilkinson, Rebecca Caine and Byron Nease?

Cielosta In reply to LadyTana [2012-06-11 14:30:29 +0000 UTC]

Oh, yeah...Haven't thought of that. Colm Wilkinson was amazing.

Cielosta In reply to JaydieEliza [2012-05-06 15:02:07 +0000 UTC]

Ah! I should add that cast as well. I'm increasingly in love with them as well. Ramin, Sierra, and Hadley have such an amazing chemistry together. Thanks for reminding ;D

hansbmd [2012-02-07 14:55:20 +0000 UTC]

This was creative! So far, my favorite is the movie cast, but that'll probably change after I've seen the 25th anniversary all the way through.

Thanks very much!

Yeah, I didn't really liked LND when it came out. But now that I've seen he POTO25th, Ramin and Sierra are absolutely my favorite Phantom and Christine They're just amazing!
Michael and Sarah are still great though

hansbmd In reply to Cielosta [2012-02-14 23:02:01 +0000 UTC]

I love Ramin and Sierra as Phantom and Christine! I've seen clips from the show, I still need to see it all the way through. I've never seen LND.

MonochromeReflection [2010-07-15 20:07:18 +0000 UTC]

I personally think the original will always be the best. The others don't look as cool as them.

Cielosta In reply to MonochromeReflection [2010-07-16 16:17:10 +0000 UTC]

Well, probably the not-so-original may be quite not-so-originally amusing

Sure I agree. The original was the best. Especially to see and hear how Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman delivered such authentic and emotionally captivating performances as The Phantom and Christine. They're the best!

excuse me, but what is the "not-so-original" POTO cast ? is it true or just a joke ?

Cielosta In reply to Galaad-Phantom [2010-04-27 15:49:26 +0000 UTC]

No, it's my own imaginary casting. Course it's not true but I do hope it will.
