His duet with Philip Quast in 'Lily's Eyes' (from the Australian Highlights of 'Secret Garden') is my single favorite recorded Broadway song. Their 2 voices together are pure magic

I saw his Phantom last week- it was one of those crazy situations when at the begining of act 2, it was announced that the Christine was out (she wasn't at the top of her game) and that the, like , understudy to the understudy to the understudy had to finish up the show. All in all, it turned out to be one of the most exciting nights at the theatre.
I noticed a couple of you are crying out for a cast recording; I believe we're in the same boat.
I'm running the Phantom of the Opera Australian Cast Recording and / or Filmed Stage Performance Petition (Starring Anthony Warlow) at my AW fan forum, Unexpected Song: Celebrating the Life of Anthony Warlow ((http://unexpectedsong.proboards104.com/ - I'd link the title but I'm not sure what coding this message board uses)). It's been running for 180 days and has 641 signatures; four of these include cast members Simon Pryce, Nadia Komazac, John Bowles and Ana Marina. We also have Anthony Warlow's support. While he may not be able to put his name down at the moment ((it's far too early)) he has assured me he will do what he can ((when he can, of course)) in aid of the petition ((research of the past petition, et cetera)). He wants this to happen just as much as we do.
If you are interested in signing, please drop by Unexpected Song ((which Anthony Warlow has seen, actually; and a lot of random people have been coming up to him and telling him about it)), look for the "Phantom of the Opera A.C.R. + Film Petition" thread ((it's an announcement, so you can pick any board and find it at the top with the other subboards)). I will be opening Unexpected Song to guest posters from the 1st of April until the 1st of May ((in honour of Unexpected Song's 2nd birthday on April 20th)), so if you do not wish to register you can guest post between these dates. Alternatively you can reply with your name here and I will add it to the petition.
Now that I've advertised, let me leave with these last thoughts: I have seen him perform in Phantom - twice ((seen the show three times; had Simon Pryce for my third)). I have met Anthony Warlow - twice. And on the second night, as we said our goodbyes, he gave me a lingering kiss on my cheek.
You people are sick. Leave the man alone and stop loitering around the theatre. There's supportive fans, and then there's you. Let me just point out that these "petition people" used to turn up at the Princess Theatre every night in Melbourne at interval, and harass the audience members who were innocently enjoying the show. Get lives. ASAP.

I can't wait until POTO comes to New Zealand in November with him so that i can see him. I'm not a Phantom fan, but I will go to anything with Anthony Warlow in it

ATTENTION FANS: I will be played by James Barbour in the upcoming musical, "BroadwayWorld: The Musical."
His Enjolras in LES MIZ remains the definitives performance of the role IMO and he has an amazing voice.
His J/H is amazing, too.
Would LOVE to hear/see him in POTO.

If Anthony Warlow ever makes it out of Down Under to do some performing, I am THERE. London, New York, Paris, wherever! Just... don't tell the bank what the loan is *really* for, 'kay guys?
In the meantime, it's just me and my Opera Australia DVDs. *sigh*
I scarcely can cope with the eight hours on a plane to NY; the only way I could get Down Under without going screwy would be as part of a world tour, and I totally don't have the money for that. Hell, I don't even have the money for NY at the moment.
Although the flight is kind of a mood-killer. I survived the 14 hours from San Francisco to Auckland (and then Sydney to SF), but it's not for everybody...
