Response London Cast vs Movie Cast June 28, 2005
Isa (New York)
I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw some of the things people were writing in regards to the comparison of the two casts. I do agree that Gerard Butler's voice was more appropriate for the role than Michael Crawford. I liked the untrained voice because where would the Phantom have gotten classical training anyways?? One thing I can never say however is that Emmy Rossum was in any magnitude as good as Sarah Brightman. For example, Emmy Rossum had trouble hitting all the high notes! Since this was pre recorded and not a live performance, I was expecting to hear a much better and stronger Christine. One thing I found though was that the supporting cast in both productions was excellent, especially both Steve Barton(Original Raoul) and Patrick Wilson(Movie Raoul). On the whole though, I'd say that both casts did a reasonably good job, but if you want to enjoy the music...just don't listen to both casts so that you won't have anything to compare!
 my advice to you... May 26, 2005

If you have seen the movie, heard the soundtrack(s) but not read the original novel by Gaston Leroux, you are missing out on something wonderful. Buy the book, you will not regret it! Erik (the Phantom for those of you who haven't read the book) is far cleverer in the book than he has ever been portrayed on stage or on screen. Concerning the movie soundtrack: the original cast sdtk's Christine is overly fasletto. Emmy Rossum adds an edge of innocence and purity to the voice of her character in the film. Gerard Butler as the Phantom is superb; although the Phantom in the original sdtk is amazing as well, he is softer, higher, and slightly too gentle for an obsessed serial killer genius. I own both the original and the special edition movie sdtk, because I just can't get enough. It depends on the mood I'm in, which one I listen to... but if I had to choose, I'd say go with the movie sdtk. Christine Daae is sung far better by Ms. Rossum.
Phantom Of the Opera Movie Review vs. Original Londan Cast May 18, 2005

I've watched the movie and heard the movie soundtrack. After doing this I went back to the Original Cast Album. I found that I didn't like the original cast album as much. It's true that Michael Crawford certainly has a more polished voice than Gerard Butler, but i find Gerard Butler's rougher voice suits his portral of the Phantom. As for Emmy Rossum, I certainly prefer her to Sarah Brightman. I found that Sarah Brightman tends to be more flowery, adding trills and such that I thought were unnecessary. Emmy Rossum sings the song in a much simpler way, which i prefer. If you love the movie, then the movie soundtrack is the way to go. However if you've seen the broadway play then you will probably prefer that version. For your money, I would get the movie soundtrack. The sound quality is slightly better as well.

To the customer from Canada: this is not opera. It is called the Phantom of the Opera because the phantom lives in the opera house, but that does not make this an opera, it is a broadway musical show. If you find opera boring, listen to Puccini, listen to Maria Callas or Renee Flemming, but for heaven's sake don't call this show an opera.
just one question January 29, 2005
yoyoeq (Toronto)
The movie is just great and I love all the songs so much. I'm going to buy the soundtrack but I still have one question. What's the different between the special edited soundtrack and this one? brAnyone can help me on that?
