It almost seems like Ramin isn't wearing any Phantom make up what so ever. Forgive me if I'm making this up, but I recall reading/seeing somewhere Michael Crawford or another Phantom wouldn't wear the elaborate make up for public appearances if the mask didn't come off. Could this be the same thing? They just didn't bother for whatever reason?
Edit: It also seems they have "art nouveau-ed" the mask. Maybe to mesh more with the time period?

The mask is oddly cheap. BUT on the CD there is a line or two about the Giry's paying for the Phantom to get his face fixed. No lie. Look. It is not the original Phantom. If any sequel has achance it would be this one. The music is listenable and i'd give it a B. It ISSSSS a different show from POTO so the design SHOULD be different. I am not an advocate of this show but it openned three days ago everyone is SO quick to pounce and nit pick.

Plus, Erik is a master of disguise so he could have made himself look a lot younger when he moved to America. Far fetched, but there ya go!

"Sierra Boggess has the same facial expression in every single one of those photos."
You obviously didn't see Sarah Brightman in the original production.
Boggess is just carrying on the tradition, I suppose.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married.

About the picture of Mother in Ragtime and Sierra's I think it makes sense, because one show is set in 1902 and the other one is 1907.
And sorry about "art-deco"... yes, it's nouveau.

Why are so many 'suprised' by ALW's spectacle? (Suprised probably isn't the right word.) Isn't that what you expected? I think for what it is, a sequel to Phantom, it looks spectacular.
I don't want to see it, but it sure is purdy.

I think she looks fine, but the (Mr. Super Hero) Phantom looks terrible.
I wonder how they got it so right the first time when they cast Michael Crawford. He was so eccentric and unearthly, both in his appearance and in how he moved and sang.
Now we end up with Super Boy, The Phantom Waiter.
Don't they realize this kills the entire appeal? Didn't Webber learn anything from the mistakes made in the movie?
They will never recover from casting a "cute" poster-boy Phantom. The show is doomed.

Cosmetic surgery, what little there was at the time, would not have really... "fixed" his face so much as make it a different kind of grotesque.

Ramin isn't JUST a poster boy, he was a great Raoul AND an amazing Phantom and he sings the only bearable song in the sequel. I guess they probably knew the whole thing was too bad, so at least there's one thing onstage that you can look at that is bearable
