Wayman, you've hit the depth of my POTO knowledge, I don't know about the details of the lyrics. I haven't even read ALW's book, but I definitely want to now!
Glad you found clips of Andrew Ragone, he is amazing! I've seen him in other shows (Vegas and regional), and he shines brilliantly! I have no idea why he hasn't done Raoul on Broadway... he should!! I bet he would be an awesome Phantom, too.
I'm not a fan of "Wishing" either, but I do love the way that Sierra and Lisa Vroman used to deliver it... made it a more bearable lead up to one of my most favorite moments in the show, "Wandering Child." |
