Description
...lead me, save me from my solitude...There are so many scenes and moments
that I love about the show,
but if I must choose one, it would be this.
"All I Ask of You (reprise)" is always
THE tearjerker moment for me.
Howard was especially exquisite at this moment last night.
So much so, I just had to doodle this up
after getting home from the theatre.
Not exactly what I had planned for today,
but laundry and cleaning the apartment can wait.

Isn't it wonderful how Erik can be the hero and the villain simultaneously? At least, in this moment. Definitely an anti-hero, or maybe just an irresistible and moving villain...talk amongst yourselves

This is beautiful, you've captured the moment very well!! I always tear up at this moment too, it's so completely heartbreaking! Poor Erik needs a hug...

Mine, too.
If I could only bottle this moment up and keep it close to me all the time...
It's such a simple wish, if you think about it, which makes it all the more heart-wrenching.

I LOVE Howard as the Phantom! His performance has so many great little nuances, he's an increadable actor!

A fellow Howard lover!
I adore him in this role.
You are right - his take on the Phantom is so intricate and layered,
I still find something new or different every time I see him...
I will go on and on and on if you don't stop me.

wow. i favorited this a long time ago, but i must comment.
I agree... this is the first scene in phantom that got me crying... It's definately more emotional on stage than in the movie, i think. You captured it quite perfectly.

Thank you!
So much must go through his mind at this moment...
Perhaps he somehow knew he would not get another chance.
Clinging onto the last ray of hope, it only makes him so much more human, and thus dear to me.
Thanks again.

yes i agree wholeheartedly.
And with guns pointing at him from every angle, I can't help sensing a sort of courage rising up in him as well. How many times in his life had he been on stage? Much less with the woman he loves? Or witha trap at his heels? Erik's my hero.

The point of no return, indeed.
Both daring and desperate, it was a tremendous gamble for him to take.
For that fact alone, he deserves a gold star in my mind...

Beautiful as like your all pics *_______* <3
I can tell that 'All I Ask Of You (reprise)' is mine favourite scene as well ^^ It's so heart breaking to watch Phantom's sorrow on the stage that it always makes me cry ;;_;;
I love this and keep on doing wonderful job -b

Thank you for your kind words!
No matter how many times I've seen the show,
this moment never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
His wish is so simple, yet profound.
Or maybe it is profound because it is so simple...
Thanks again.

Yes, I did, and though I personally prefer an older Phantom myself,
I thought the movie did have some really nice moments.
Gerry has become sort of a guilty pleasure for me since then.
Thanks for your comment!

It is rather a sad part isn't it? Hi voice sounds so emotional it's almost impossible not to react. Lovely picture.

It really is.
The fact that what he longs for is such a simple happiness
makes it all the more heartbreaking.
Thanks as always.

Thank you!
I think that's what this scene is all about;
it is so poignant because of its simplicity.
Erik baring his soul, perhaps for the first time, to someone else.
Of course, *someone* rewards him by unmasking him in front of
the whole Opera Populaire...
Poor, sad Erik, indeed.
Thanks again.

Aw. That is the way we love Erik. Oh yes. Dark, mystical and powerfull - but also sad. Poor Erik TT I like his outfit - I think capes suits him best :3 (oki, I like his "Red Death" outfit too - but only in the 2004 movie)
The scene you choose was one of my most hated - every time I hear it (and "All I asked of you") I want to kill Roul -_- but I like how you draw this scene!

It's such a heart-wrenching plea, isn't it?
I always have to fight the overwhelming urge to run up to him
and hug the life out of him during this scene.

Love the posture, though the yellow in the background is a little harsh. Maybe a slightly darker colour?
Have you ever seen Anthony Warlow as the Phantom? That man is exquisite. But seriously, the director of the current run down here needs to be shot.

your-obt-servt In reply to thatwasrandom [2008-05-21 16:55:05 +0000 UTC]
Thank you for your comment!
The color may be partially due to my monitor setting,
or the fact that it is just old.
I'm hoping for an upgrade sometime soon...
I have seen 5 different Phantoms (8 if you include u/s),
but unfortunately Warlow is not one of them.
I have heard he is brilliant, and would kill to see him...
So how is the production going in down under?
Thanks again.

heh, i've seen it twice now. Once early last year in Melbourne, then my girlfriend bought me tickets to see it in sydney last month. But it remains the only production of Phantom i've seen live.
As for how it's going, nearly every show is sold out, the sets are amazing, and most of the actors are fantastic. Heh, and gotta love the pyromania in one scene, flames shoot from the stage and i could feel the heat of them half a theatre away.

I love hearing about other people's "Phantom experience".
It helps me remember my first time.
It's always fun to watch people go "ooooooh" as the chandelier rises,
applaud at the reveal of the Masquerade set,
or jump at the pyro, for that matter.
