Maker says: Well, the long awaited DVD is here! This DVD compiles bloopers from the 2004 movie, stage flubs caught on tape, lyric flubs, funny videos, and other humorous compilations relating to Phantom! A must have!
1985, Sydmonton
Colm Wilkinson (The Phantom of the Opera), Sarah Brightman (Christine Daaé), Clive Carter (Raoul)
VOB (with smalls)
Pretty bad quality due to age and being ripped from video to digital, but it shows the changes the show made before its opening in 1986.
March 27, 1987, West End
Michael Crawford (The Phantom of the Opera), Rebecca Caine (alt Christine Daaé), Steve Barton (Raoul)
VOB (with smalls)
Highlights. Video ends at Notes II. Extremely difficult to make out anything other than the figures of people; black-and-white image and very heavy generation loss.
1988, West End
Dave Willetts (The Phantom of the Opera), Jan Hartley-Morris (alt Christine Daaé), Michael Cormick (Raoul)
VOB (with smalls)
There's a lot of generation loss and tons of washout and color bleeding. Often labeled as having Michael Ball as Raoul, but it's Michael Cormick. Dave Willetts and Jan Hartley-Morris are both very lovely, old school actors

From the same show as the full one always traded out, but it is a little clearer. The trader told me this copy was gotten directly from the master tape, so it has basically the original quality of the video versus the full one above that has had some generation loss over the years from being traded so much. Only 35 minutes though
1995, West End
Ethan Freeman (The Phantom of the Opera), Jill Washington (Christine Daaé), Simon Bowman (Raoul)
VOB (with smalls)
Pro-shot by RUG. Fuzzy picture, some color loss in darker parts, and hard to see face expressions except in the occasional closeups. Quite a bit of spotlight washout, but big picture and has survived fairly well for something so old.
March 9, 2000, West End
Scott Davies (The Phantom of the Opera), Meredith Braun (Christine Daaé), Matthew Cammelle (Raoul)
VOB (with smalls)
Good for its age. Very well shot, some minor gen loss

MP4, looking for VOB
Looks like it was filmed by the same person as above video; same bright colors and detail. Complete show, nothing missing. Charlotte Page has a lovely operatic voice, though her acting can get a bit over-the-top.
September 21, 2002, West End
John Owen-Jones (The Phantom of the Opera), Celia Graham (Christine Daaé), Robert Finlayson (Raoul)
VOB (with smalls)
Shot from the stalls, so many good closeups but has a few heads to film around. Okay quality, more color bleeding and fuzzier detail than some older London videos. I've heard there's a video of the same cast from a different date and shot from a slightly different angle; would love to have that. John Owen-Jones and Celia Graham have great chemistry; Celia notices the camera at one point in 'Think of Me'.

Different from the February 25, 2006 video (though I'm unsure of the actual date), looks like it was shot by the same filmer though, so same incredible quality and detail. Comes with an extra hour of footage from another show, which I have given its own separate listing (the 2006 video above).

AVI/MP4
Act I is complete, Act II only includes Masquerade plus curtain calls. Picture is dark/slightly grainy and sound is not great. Rare video. All are AVI files, except for the last one, which is MP4 for some reason. Used to be off NFT for a while because the master said that they were allowing the video to be traded out now, since they themselves don't trade out their masters anymore.Now NFT again
