I just found this on Broadway World and thought I'd share it with the rest of his fans. Sounds like it's going to be a wonderful show and the last paragraph has the following snippet about Anthony: "Next out on stage was most of the show's original cast, sans Michael Crawford who was performing across town in THE WIZARD OF OZ tonight. (Here's hoping for a Sunday night appearance when OZ is dark!). Sarah Brightman sang along with multiple Phantom alumni including Colm Wilkinson, John Owen Jones, Peter Jöback and Anthony Warlow - truly a night to remember." Would have loved to have been there!

windbelle - thanks for posting the snippets! Was wonderful to see them - in my opinion, Anthony's voice is by far the most impressive and his timbre is perfect. And don't get me started on his hands - just full of passion and expression. Wish I could have been there ...

@ Jemas "don't mention the hands I mentioned them ones but I think I got away with it" to quote Basil Fawlty mwell sort of.
Does anyone have a downloader that works with these clips. I want to get them before they get taken off. There is already one taken off for copyright reasons.

Thanks for those links, scuffa! The first two are gone now, but we managed to watch the third.
Anyone else notice that whenever Anthony is singing with any or all of the other men, his voice overpowers and it just sounds like an Ant solo?
The man is just made of awesomeness.

Fredus - couldn't agree more. almost ignored JOJ in the 'in all your fantasies...' part. He's just gorgeous.. jemasjottings - THX.. I was here in 2007 and early 2008 but vanished from the board for complicated reason... think it's a great time for a grand comeback, lol. This site hasn't changed much. love it here. And windbelle - must have guessed I would be back XD totally captured by this man again these days awwwwwwww I managed to download some video before they was taken down... wonder if anyone needs them.

Some interesting tidbit here: Rebecca Caine, the original Cosette and Sarah Brightman's alternate Christine whom I like quite a lot, ran into Ant the other day and talked to him for half an hour. She was completely charmed by this man (but seriously, who wouldn't be? XD), and went into a fanatic fangirl mode. She kept gibbering about Ant for a while on twitter. Seriously, I'd like to hear Rebecca and Anthony sing together somday.

By the time I got there they had all gone - dang it! So good to see hear people's comments about the great man himself - he sure is a wonderful performer. Glad you're back to add your two bits and make me smile! windbelle - I know I would! |

Good to see Anthony was getting some international stage door action, especially when there is a lot of people there. yfrog.com/h8de2oaij |

I couldn't see where that was... was it from the 25th concert, then?

Ah, I see. My 'puter wouldn't load the previous photo, so I didn't see.. Meanwhile - one concert and people get to see him at the stage door. I followed him around for two years before I managed to meet him. *sigh* Some people are so lucky.  |

Fredus - I remember meeting Son in Sydney and she took me to the stage door a couple of nights - no sign of Anthony. We even trawelled through Star City back entrances trying to find him. Then next time I was checking in he was at the counter beside me and I just froze and couldn't do anything! Then Auckland came along and I was too shy to go and stand at the stage door by myself, so waited until the last few shows when Jayko, Son and several others were there. Son and I went to the stage door a couple of times - no Anthony. Once he just almost ran past with his head down not looking at anyone. So when the final show came along, my daughter was with me and we went to the stage door and Son and Jayko and the others were there too. Out came Alex, Jon and several others and then Anthony!! My daughter dragged me up to him (I would have hung back and waited) and I got his autograph and a photo but didn't really talk to him. But at least I have the photo to remind me. Sometimes shyness is a real curse. Because it is holding me back from going to the stage door for the Jersey Boys cast autographs.

Thanks Belle for the tidbit. Another snippet from Twitter. The Phantom for the special Ramin Karimloo tweeted "I'm very blessed. I've met some of my heros in my time already, and now I can add a handshake and chat with legend that is Mr Anthony Warlow". lol, I know what you mean Injeanious. Though hesitant, its easier to ask for an autograph but I get awfully embarrassed to ask for a photo. But now I figure, life's too short so sometimes it's worth pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone otherwise we totally miss out when those with more front push in and steal the opportunities. In saying that, if it wasn't for Poppy, Marie-Cris, Jayko, Eb and Fred, I would have still probably missed out. But I really hope you get a photo with your Jersey Boy cast because you will be kicking yourself in years to come if you miss out. Fredus, I still think your two years is pretty good. I first saw Anthony in 1985 but only first got his autograph in 1992 so that took 7 years and then got my first in-focus photograph last year so only that took...crickey's.....25 years.  That's longer than half the members of this board have been alive. |

Okay, scuffa, you win! 25 years is an agonisingly long time.... (and I've been alive longer than that! ... just...) Although... if I wasn't on Unexpected Song, if I hadn't being seeing everyone else's stories of meeting him, it may not have been that big of an issue for me. *hangs head in shame* But I'm incredibly grateful that I did get to meet him, even though he scared the hell out of me when he yelled in my ear; and, in hindsight, everything I said in his hearing makes me feel rather a fool. Inj, I understand your pain.I'm terribly shy, too (although I'm getting better-ish at not showing it), and I'm way too good at being scared and not going to stage doors. It's better now because Marie-Cris kind of forces me to go stage dooring, and it's always nice afterwards. |

Saw Phantom of the Opera - 25th Anniversary at the Royal Albert Theatre, playing in a cinema in Brisbane this afternoon. Just wonderful! Fantastic set and magnificent cast - and to top it all off Anthony sang to me ... well, I suppose it was to a few people ... but I can dream!! Thought I'd share a little bit of his wonderful performance ... www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=R_ScMKMA1rEHope you enjoy it as much as I did! |

I didn't even think to go stage-dooring when I saw Phantom. Then I came here and heard all your stories, and kicked myself. I did however send letters to the Phantom cast (I was 12), and got two back. One from Alex and one from Andrea. I took a gamble at sending my ticket with the letter I wrote to Alex, and he sent it back autographed by Anthony, Ana and him. I still grin like a little kid about it sometimes.
