After performing in the role of Raoul in Brisbane and now in Sydney, I think a thread for Alexander Lewis is well deserved (especially since he keeps popping up in the threads of others!) . His performance has grown and flourished and is now one to be reckoned with! Anything Alexander, put it here and enjoy! His handsome self In the dashing role of Raoul along side Ana Marina |

Yay! So many goodies, good work guys! Golly, he looks cute in tht Hats Off pic....
Did anyone else notice that on the Kerri-Anne clip, Ana truly looked like she was holding an ice cream rather than a mic, simply coz of the angle etc at which she held it?! I just couldn't escape that thought!

I thought that to! Glad to see I am not going crazy! Awesome stuff Nik! There is so much to this man we don't know! Here is just Alex's profile on The Phantom Website
Alexander began performing at a young age as a chorister at St Alban's Cathedral Choir in England. He featured in many recordings for film, TV and radio and performed in the finest concert halls throughout Britain and the USA. As a treble, Alexander appeared as the Third Apparition in Verdi's Macbeth (State Opera South Australia) Cobweb in A Midsummer Night's Dream (Opera Australia) and featured as a soloist with The Australian Chamber Orchestra at The Huntington Music Festival.
In 2001 he appeared in The Sydney Festival with The Australian Theatre for Young People, was a finalist in The Australian Singing Competition's Mathy Awards and in 2002, featured in the Prime Minister's Australia Day celebrations.
In 2004, Alexander completed his BA (Music Theatre) at WAAPA and was awarded the Lesley Anderson Fellowship as the outstanding graduate of that year. Since then he has appeared as Frederick Barrett in Titanic-The Musical (Glug Award, Sydney Theatre Award Nom.), Anthony Hope in Sweeney Todd (Opera Australia) and has featured in Rosie-The Musical, The Hatpin (workshop) and Channel 7's Headland.
In 2006 Alexander won Opera Foundation Australia's New York Study Award and in 2007 he reached the semi-finals in the Neue Stimmen International Singing Competition in Germany.
Alexander's concert appearances include The Centenary Gala Concert for Perth's His Majesty's Theatre, The Coronation Music of King George II (Sydney Philharmonia Choir), The NSW Premier's Christmas Concerts, APEC Australia's 2007 Gala Cultural Performance and regular performances with The Three Waiters and The Leading Men. He has featured in fund raising events for The Royal Flying Doctor Service, The Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children as well as Hats Off and Light the Night.
He has been proud member of the MEAA since 2004.

Gosh. What fabulous photography! And now HE thinks I'm a bit tragic as well! *sigh*

Very impressive photo-taking skills, Aunty Sandy! We thankyou... but hold the phone, do you mean to imply that Cinta and are tragic?! I'd say we're borderline stalker at the very least, thanks you very much, hehe!

No. I meant he thinks I'm tragic, and so does Ant. I'm doomed!

Oh, he's ADORABLE! You almost forget that he's the fop after a while, don't you? That's a great photo, neh. I expected to hate him, but he's strangely endearing, isn't he?

I second that, lilmsnomad! I felt horrible for liking him alongside Ant's Phantom. You feel like SUCH a traitor!

I saw him with Simon Pryce - though to be honest I think he might just be able to hold his own against Ant (aesthetically speaking at the very least)  |

Oh dear me... well... I've seen every combination of Phantom+Christine+Raoul and against Pryce you don't feel too bad about it (especially after the army-crawl in "Stranger Than You Dreamt It"). But against Ant, you feel all "But... no... but..."

I know, I know... the army-crawl was pretty awesome though! I cant believe how excited I am to be going back *crosses fingers and toes in the hope of seeing Anthony in action at least once* Bah!!!! I wish it was next Saturday already!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Tanya

Oh enjoy the show! I will cross mine to for you! The army crawl is amazing, especially at the beginning when he reaches out to Cristine and loses his balance. It is brilliant! I think Alex hold his own well with Anthony. I actually think they bounce off of each other in a really precise and beautiful way!

Am I right in thinking that NONE of you have had the pleasure of seeing Ant up against Alex? Oh LORDY! What fun! Now I'm REALLY looking forward to LSS! *grins like a loon*
Although, I have to admit... during the army-crawl scene I was fighting back the urge to giggle while my friends looked on in shock. I just felt like screaming 'It's not boot camp!' ^_^

No, I think you'll find that most of us (if not all of us) who have seen POTO since Alex joined at the beginning of the Brisbane season have seen him versus Ant, some of us on many, many occasions!

Hiya, sorry to just kinda butt in on you like this... It's just that I saw the show last Friday night and I had the pleasure of seeing both Alex + Ant. I really liked Alex as Raoul, and when it comes to Ant... I don't know if I can think of an adjective to even begin to describe how I felt!!

Oh thank HEAVENS, sandy! I was worried!
I think that Alex actually brings out elements of the book-version of Raoul, which is good since I quite liked the book.

If you can, you should read through all the pages of the Phantom of the Opera thread. There you will read reviews and experiences from people who have seen the shows, right from the beginning of the Melbourne season with many, many combinations. Then you'll get a better idea of who has seen whom, and how many times.

^_^ I was simply assuming from what I read about Alex in here. Many apologies.
I think my favourite bit was when he blustered in during "Notes/Prima Donna". That was hilarious!
