Trivia: The encore with Sarah Brightman featured four Phantoms from around the world: Colm Wilkinson, who was in the original Canadian production (and was also the original Jean Valjean in Les Misérables in both London and New York); John Owen-Jones, who, with over 4,000 performances, is the West End's longest-running Phantom; Anthony Warlow, the most famous Phantom in Australia; and Peter Jöback, a singer from Denmark, who made his debut as the Phantom and later took up the role on tour. And while he didn't participate, Michael Crawford, the original Phantom on both the West End and Broadway, was in attendance.
Audio problem: In Notes II, Madame Giry voice is out of sync as she says,"Fear his fury.".
The Phantom: So it is to be war between us! If these demands are not met a disaster beyond all imagination will occur.

Chosen answer: Although that would be funny, I rather doubt that's Ramin Karimloo. From the DVD's special features he revealed that it takes an hour to transform him into the Phantom. Since this was filmed live on stage, it would be very impractical to have him take the makeup off halfway through the musical.
