What do you mean the whole thing? The whole scene or the whole video? I don’t really want to post either, to be honest… I don’t gift videos, and I don’t really like just throwing random scenes on to my YouTube account.

Fine.

It’s on A Lamentable Mess. According to that site:

Somehow, Maaike Widdershoven managed to seriously injure herself on the gate to Christine’s father’s grave during Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again. I don’t think she was able to perform for a few weeks. (Stephanie - aka Toryn)

Do you mean the chandelier crash? I’ve been getting comments on my YouTube videos about the chandelier almost hitting a Christine or another actress, but I’ve never heard of anything in regards to someone dying. I would imagine that something like that would make a great deal of news, but it’s the Dutch production, so what do I know? (Given that most news regarding it would probably be in Dutch and that the production is one of the older ones.)

I have heard something about one of the Dutch actresses getting injured, but it was during a different scene and on a different prop.

Also, I don’t have a London audio from April 23, 2012.

I’m slightly pissy because I just checked my files and it appears that someone (or multiple someones) has downloaded the files, even though I’ve shared almost none of them. So I guess a certain person has been freeloading off my audios. Well, no worries; I changed the file and access a bit, and now nobody can access them unless I want them to. So take that, anonymous freeloader.

Want to be give me a specific cast? I don’t have much inclination to go through my audios… and I’ve gifted audios of the Japanese cast before, but they’ve all gone down. Guess it’s not a really popular production.

I don’t know. I don’t really pay much attention to the 2004 film.

Oh man… I’ve said a lot about them already. I think this link, this, and this would provide some answers. Most of these aren’t really specific to the 25th anniversary, but it was what I drew upon most when writing my opinions, given that it was the most accessible video at the time. I think my opinions on them have mellowed slightly, but yeah, those posts are pretty much the gist of what I think about them.

I don’t know, I haven’t watched him in any of the major principle roles he’s played. Someone asked me to review video of his Phantom though, so I suppose I’ll have that figured out soon enough.

Yeah, they’re top on my list of “people I want to see more of”. Particularly because I just upgraded my video of them to a much better quality one. (I can actually see Joke de Kruijf’s facial expressions now!) As of right now, I don’t have too much of an opinion on Henk Poort, though I watched through a bit of his ‘Final Lair’ and liked it. I really adore Joke de Kruijf’s voice - she is literally divine - and what I’ve seen of her acting is great. She looks so sweet and happy, like she clearly enjoys singing and being on stage, but also shows a terrific amount of conflict between Raoul and the Phantom, and just generally acts like a lovely, realistic Christine. And she’s quite gorgeous in wig and costume.
