Phantom: The Musical Live (2021) User Reviews

I liked it better than Andrew Lloyd Webber's version

[anadanielact · 10/10 · 2 July 2023]

Although I did not know this version of the musical, I realized that it is wonderful. He is a much more human and warm version of Erik, he made me feel many emotions at the same time. The songs are beautiful, the scenery and performances incredible. Especially the stellar Kyuhyun, he has an amazing voice, his performance moved me to tears, and Christine's voice was amazing, the soprano is on the level of Broadway actors. I liked it much better than The Phantom of the Opera.

I loved Erik's scene with Christine on the little boat, when he takes her to his secret hideout. It's such a beautiful song, I could feel Erik's feelings towards Christine, the set design was perfect, and the lighting was too professional.

Excellent movie

[estrella_raquel · 10/10 · 2 July 2023]

This musical made into a movie was incredible, from the cast and protagonist Kyuhyun to the performances, stages and of course the musical performances with the orchestra. Everything was very well done and I loved seeing Phantom from the most human perspective.

Kyuhyun's acting doesn't disappoint and his voice in musicals shows his more professional side, I'm amazed.

Korean productions are finally being appreciated.

Thank you for bringing this Korean production to Latin America.

I hope there will be more Korean musical films like Werther, Frankenstein, The man who laugs and the most recent production that will be released in September this year: Ben Hur, which has Kyuhyun as the protagonist again.

Already watched 3 times

This musical is beautiful. All great actors and vocals. It takes you on a touching and heartfelt journey. I'm so happy I get to watch it whenever I want. It moves me to tears everytime. I love the storytelling, it really engages you and keeps you interested. I think anyone that appreciates a good story can get much value from this, even if they are not familiar with musicals. I watched with family and they loved it too. This musical really feels like a safe place to always return to. There is romance, comedy, drama, even action, and of course a display of everything art should be. All elements, acting, stage, costume, songs, vocals come together beautifully. I love it so much.

Awesome

SPECTACULAR (and made me cry too much)

[kyuhyunkirua · 10/10 · 10 July 2023]

First off, the singing and acting in this are amazing. All of the actors delivered. Im Sunhae sang like an angel and I was floored by her singing in that party. She looks so lovely and nice. Kyuhyun was also fantastic. His singing and acting are full of emotion, he made me immersed in the story and I felt really sympathetic to Eric. His acting in the end is especially wonderful, I couldn't stop crying. Even though his face was covered by a mask, the changes in emotions reflected in his eyes, lips, and voice were impeccable. And when he sings with that beautiful and powerful voice of his, I couldn't help but be in awe and pulled further into the story. Also, Madam Carlotta was so enjoyable as a villain! I couldn't hate her. Not to mention the ballet performance! Oh, it was really beautiful and it conveys the story flawlessly I just cried hard watching it unfolds.

Secondly, the story is just really great. This story mainly reveals about the humane side of the Phantom, and the tragic story of his is told smoothly and beautifully with the dramatic grand numbers. It also touches about the purest form of love, mother's love, and it's something that a lot of people can appreciate. I love that they sprinkle some jokes in there too so it's not just heavy all the time.

Third, the set and the musical numbers are impeccably beautiful. It was a set that was made for a stage but the quality of it was really nice. The chandelier was especially gorgeous. Besides that, the directing of the camera angles and zooms really made the set has depth and realism, it just pulls you into the world. A marvelous job from the director. For the musical numbers, as I said before, they flawlessly and efficiently conveys the story while sounding like masterpieces. Maybe because the actors and actresses are so good at performing them too, but the numbers are really a treat to the ears. They are dramatic, grand, and gorgeous. Lovely.

In brief, I really enjoyed it. This tragic story of the Phantom, wrapped neatly in the magnificent performance of the actors and actresses, smooth directing, lovely setting, and beautiful musical numbers, is excellent.

Impeccable. The story as it was meant to be told

[MMB_FilmLover · 10/10 · 15 July 2023]

Finally a lush, stunning-produced, star-studded Broadway-quality (or better?) production of Phantom, the "other" musical version of Phantom of the Opera. For those who don't know, this musical was Broadway-bound in the 1980s until the Andrew Lloyd Webber version premiered in London; investors backed out when they realized Webber was bringing his version to Broadway. Phantom has gorgeous break-your-heart music, a clear storyline that actually focuses on the Phantom, a complex man who the audience gets to know very well. The cast is unbelievable. Cho Kyuhyun, "the voice of Korea", and one of the main vocalists of the beloved legendary K-pop group Super Junior, brings the passion, complexity, pathos, and effortless powerful golden vocals to the title role. The other cast members are equally flawless, vocally and acting-wise. Of note, this version, produced 4 times (so far) in Seoul, has added a touch of music -- even more songs for the Phantom in particular. The phantom is humanized without loosing his passion and mystery, Christine is also given more agency and incredible music to sing, and the love triangle (a new character named Phillipe vs Raoul) is believable. There are additional characters and plot that heighten the gothic drama and give the main characters more motivation for their actions. I think this is THE definitive version of Phantom of the opera anywhere (screen, theatre, novel-form) and this production couldn't be better. Don't miss it!

I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN !!

[coralclifford · 10/10 · 2 July 2023]

KyuHyun did a great job, I enjoyed the musical and would like to do it again. For people who haven't taken the time to watch it, YOU SHOULD DO IT!! It's a spectacular work and gosh, KyuHyun's vocal is amazing.

The part where Erick dies was very nostalgic, I cried a little. Dear friend that you are reading to me, I want to tell you that; please take the time to see such a majestic work. I saw it because of KyuHyun and the novel caught me so much that I saw other musicals. This is so amazing, please watch it.

I want to mainly thank KyuHyun for teaching me this, thanks to him I acquire new knowledge. Thank you for reading !!

Highly recommended

[leslysarayasi · 10/10 · 2 July 2023]

I had the opportunity to see Phantom in cinema and streaming and each time I was very excited. So much for the story, the setting, and the incredible acting and singing from the entire cast. Getting to see stories in various timelines that make you understand. Phantom combines romance, music, horror, mystery, and tragedy all captivating you. From knowing the story behind the main character where I also cried and laughed to many other scenes. I managed to appreciate Erik's heart and motives, it doesn't justify it but I do understand it. Much of the responsibility for this lies with society and the decisions that adults made. Highly recommended.

Amazing Musical

[zjpkdgy · 10/10 · 2 July 2023]

This is a wonderful adaptation, I fully recommend people to see it. So many talented actors! Kyuhyun particularly stands out, his voice is just perfect for the theater; I can only imagine how wonderful if would have been to hear him live. I was also amazed by his acting skills, his performance is touching and very emotional.

The rest of the cast are also very talented and skilled actors and actresses. Although I generally disliked Christine's character, the actress has an amazing voice and is super talented as well.

If you are a fan of musicals or a fan of Kuyhyun, this is definitely a must-watch for you!

I love it!

[nanaochan-85712 · 10/10 · 2 July 2023]

I love so much dis musical, the songs and drama it's the best than I see. I can't stop watching it over and over again, the songs make you plunge into pain in love sadness and despair of the lead, Cho Kyuhyun is an excellent singer and lead and actor This work is excellent for anyone who likes love and who has experienced the pain of being rejected for any physical defect and makes you rethink the damage you do to Someone with your negative and offensive comments to others that makes you love the character for how protective and sweet romantic he is with the main character, in many ways you want to be Christine.
