Franc D'Ambrosio - Yes. Brings all the sad noises and I am here for it. Nice voice. Excellent acting and facial expressions. Very expressive eyes. Is a cinnamon roll irl.
Gary Mauer - Best voice ever. 10/10 would believe this man was an angel.
Greg Mills - Looks like a cinnamon roll, will kill you. I never thought tongue action could be sexy but here we are.
Ted Keegan - Looks like a cinnamon roll, is a cinnamon roll. Surprisingly sexy.
Killian Donnelly - Looks like a cinnamon roll. I can't explain why I like him, but I do.
Christopher Carl - I've only heard audio of him but I like him based on how he sobbed on the golden angel.
Jeremy Stolle - Nice voice. Acting is too subtle.
Peter Karrie - I love how he takes certain notes up a step, just to show that he can. Slightly nasally, but tolerable.
Davis Gaines - tbh all I remember really is him slowly rocking his hips while he was sprawled on the portcullis and I now judge all phantoms on a metric of how good their pants look. 9/10 his pants.
Peter Joback - I absolutely hated him when he sang in English. I liked him a little better when he did the show in Swedish.
James Hume - Unmemorable.
Michael Nicholson - Excellent acting choices. Was thinking about him for two weeks after watching. I just really like the production in German, okay?
Earl Carpenter - Better in his earlier runs. Good acting choices.
Simon Pryce - Very deep voice. Stands nicely.
Scott Davies - He looked like fun and I wanted to like him. Noped out of that one pretty quick. Too much vibrato.
Anthony Crivello - From the Vegas boot! I actually don't remember too much about him. But I know I liked the boot!
Ben Crawford - Tended to have really weird pronunciation toward the end of his run. He was decent when I saw him right after the Broadway reopening. The most remarkable thing he did was to belly slide all the way across the stage during STYDI. Other than that, I recall nothing specific.
Thiago Arancam - Remarkable only in the fact that he is boring.
Uwe Kroger - The boob-stroking guy. I remember nothing else.
Cooper Grodin - Entertaining in the fact that his acting is so wooden. Nice voice when he's not doing blocking at the same time. Good pants. It helps that he never skips leg day.
Laird Mackintosh - I think he was good? I honestly don't remember.
Geronimo Rauch - I remember I liked him!
Norm Lewis - Nice voice, a little boring. Sorry Norm.
John Owen-Jones - Hands.
Michael Crawford - Absolutely not. I do not understand what anyone sees in him. His voice sounds like it's about to snap any second, and he is very unsexy.
David Shannon - Yes. Absolutely yes. Excellent acting choices and nice voice. Does sad very well. Deserved better.
Saulo Vasconcelos - All I can recall is @wheel-of-fish spamming the chat with "hands" all night and that's all anyone really needs to know about his Phantom.
Ethan Freeman - Looks like a goddamn stick insect during Final Lair and I am here for it. Looks like Tony Shaloub.
Bronson Norris Murphy - Technically only was the Phantom in Love Never Dies. RIP. He deserved better. Anyway. His voice is a little deeper than Franc's or Gary's. I wish he had gotten a chance to play the Phantom in POTO proper. I am very curious as to how he would have played it. Looks like a cinnamon roll, is a burnt cinnamon roll.
Ramin Karimloo - He was my intro to POTO on stage. I liked his performance enough that I went looking for more clips of the musical, and found the Saturday Streams.
Eiji Akutagawa - Ah yes. The self-groping Phantom. That's all I can remember about him.
Josh Piterman - Does sad very well.
Gerard Butler - My first-first Phantom. I still like him. There's something about his voice that I do actually like, and it annoys me very much when people go "he can't sing" yes he can, everyone has the ability to sing. Just shut up and let me enjoy what I like in peace.
Hugh Panaro - Great voice, excellent acting. Funny. Fun to watch. Reminds me of Franc, in that they're both innocent/childish. Hugh is more childish and angry. Looks like he could kill you, and he might, it depends on his mood.
