This scene is one of my favorites in the show. For the Phantom, 1) it's a great moment to show the vocal range of the actor and 2) I think it also demonstrates how well they can act. This moment has the Phantom once again entrancing Christine and in some staging seeming to move her just with his words and movements.
Some notes: I included Ramin twice because the staging pre and post-changes were quite different. I prefer the pre-change for this scene because he was much closer and more intimate with her. And I didn't include the movie video for Ben Lewis because it would probably get the video taken down. But it is nice to hear a different version than the movie one; live versions are always a bit different. And finally, these actors are the ones I have recordings of that were in the musical. Some alternates/understudies went undocumented.
