Back to Hangin With Hadley Fraser (Part 2), with Hadley Fraser.
What Did Andrew Lloyd Webber Say to Ramin Karimloo?
Hadley Fraser retells Andrew Lloyd Webber's words at the Phantom of the Opera 25th anniversary at the Royal Albert Hall. The lines for Ramin Karimloo call him the modern-day Phantom. Webber said he was proud of their association and that Karimloo was the epitome of the Phantom. He then turned, looked Karimloo in the eye, and said the two of them had had a lovely time. Fraser is proud of what the company got through in those two weeks, including a second act they never teched. He does not stretch the speech into a long private conversation. The Phantom lines, in his retelling, were the ones aimed at Karimloo.
