"He fell at my feet, with words of love ... with words of love in his dead mouth ... and the music had ceased ... He kissed the hem of my dress and did not see that I closed my eyes."

Gaston Leroux

Thirstiest non-Anglophone Phantoms: Part I

Inspired by @nerdywriter36's post on sluttiest Phantoms and @opera-ghost's post on "Jeremy Stolle heard 'slut' when the director called cut." here are some very slutty Phantoms from non-English language replicas.

In chronological order:

1. Henk Poort, Netherlands, 1993 (w/ Joke de Kruijf)

Solid boob grab AND face caress, sir.

2. Eiji Akutagawa, Japan, 1994

This is the famous "maneuver" and it lasts approximately 40 seconds.

3. Saulo Vasconcelos, Mexico, 2000 (w/Irrasema Terrazas)

Not his thirstiest moment but do it for the **magic hands**

4. Ethan Freeman, Germany, 2006 (w/Anne Görner)

Sir, you are on stage.

How the German Phantoms do not split their very tight pants every show is a mystery for the ages. You get two of Ethan because he is my comfort Phantom.

5. Dmitri Ermak, Russia, 2016 (w/Tamara Kotova)

No way this list was going to not have at least one Russian. The man looks like he's about to have Christine for dinner.

In October 1993 Ethan returned to the UK to start his West End run as Erik, The Phantom. His performance included a lot of references to the Erik from the original novel and earned him the nickname "The Leroux Phantom".

His Christine’s included Claire Moore and Jill Washington.

With Ethan's birthday coming up next month we thought it would be nice to look back on all the incredible roles he has performed over the years.

Shavua Tov! He crawl. Various Phantoms around the world absolutely mopping the stage. Army crawlers only. Not a speck of dust left. Roomba the heck out of that lair, my sewer man.

Featuring (clockwise from left): Ben Crawford (Broadway, 2022), John Owen-Jones (West End, 2004), Jon Robyns (West End, 2023, @shakeatradefeather, master), Ethan Freeman (Essen, 2006)

favorite E/C almost kiss GIFs in MOTN?!!?!?! 👀👀👀 asking for a friend… 😳

Answering this two months late, but better than never? In roughly chronological order...

Jill Washington and Ethan Freeman—except what you can't glean from the gif and should definitely watch is his very audible gasp as he pulls away.

Julie Hanson and Hugh Panaro

Celia Graham and John Owen-Jones

Rebecca Pitcher and Brad Little

Jennifer Hope Wills and John Cudia

Marni Raab and Greg Mills

Tamara Kotova and Dmitri Ermak

Julia Udine and Laird Mackintosh

Emilie Kouatchou and Jeremy Stolle

And this isn't so much one of my favorites as one I just happen to find particularly funny:

Kristi Holden and Anthony Crivello
