Indulgence

It seems that I just can't get enough of The Phantom of the Opera.

If you haven't been reading my previous entry, Brad Little played the Phantom for the musical in Singapore. I feel that his voice is more expressive and powerful than Michael Crawford, the original Phantom. Crawford's voice is thinner and sometimes lacks variation in tone. However, I must say that without Crawford's initial interpretation and contribution to the creation of this dark character behind the mask, the Phantom would not go this far. So Crawford must still be lauded for his talent which shapes the Phantoms that we see now.

Here's a clip dedicated to you, Julia - "Brad Little, Unmasked". Feel his strong stage presence albeit without the mask.

Little sang the song for his South Korean fans before his concert impromtu, without accompaniment. This song is actually sang by Raoul and Christine in the musical. Little was playing the role of Raoul before he went on the play the Phantom.
