So I just saw Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo concert
and I have some highlights to gush about!
Ramin sang Moving Too Fast from The Last Five Years as his opening number and I flailed
Sierra talked about the fire at the theatre in Paris and how she lost her tooth in the Vegas production of Phantom and even though I’d heard both stories before I still laughed like an idiot because Sierra is hilarious
They did Summer Nights without either of them being totally sure of the lyrics and the highlight was when Ramin accidentally sang “wonder WHO she’s doing now…”
Seth kept calling Ramin “Rams” and that’s definitely how I’m referring to him from now on
Seth and Ramin were SAVAGE to each other (mostly Ramin to Seth) and it was the funniest thing ever
Ramin told us about how he got hurt multiple times playing the Phantom. And how on his first job on a cruise ship he had no idea what he was doing. And he wanted to be an nhl player. And how he kept skipping school to go see Phantom
AND his own science teacher once told him “why are you even bothering with this, you’re going to be an actor anyway.”
They sang All I Ask Of You together and Sierra literally had to mime the words to him because he hasn’t sang as Raul in so long and it was hysterical. For “bottom” she pointed to her ass
They ended with a Phantom medly and their encore was a Les Mis medley and they duetted The Confrontation at the end and Sierra was Javert and it was brilliant
Sierra sang Part of Your World and I fangirled very hard
Ramin told us about how he first got invited to play the Phantom in Love Never dies and how he was getting a back wax at the time
Ramin sang Til I Hear You Sing and it was perfection
Sierra sang I Have Confidence and I want her as Maria ASAP
Sierra told us she made it to the top five for Eliza in the revival of My Fair Lady and she was heartbroken when she didn’t get it. Then she sang I Could’ve Danced All Night and proved she should be Eliza one day!
Ramin said he flew in from London, to New York, to Florida and will fly from Florida to Texas, back to London and it will all be within 36 hours. Bless this man.
It was also 2am London time while the show was going on and Ramin still killed it
But he did need to take a bathroom break during the show lol
They were both hilarious goofballs and told us that they weren’t allowed to do vlogging videos for Phantom and/or Love Never Dies at one point because their videos became too silly
When Ramin was little he bet one of his friends that he’d be the youngest Phantom ever. And the first time he went to see Phantom, at 12 years old, he randomly got pulled on stage and said “I am the Phantom” into the microphone to show the kids how the voice echoed around the theatre. AND he met Colm Wilkinson after the show and talked to him.
Sierra told us about how she used to be an ice skater and that’s how she learned she loved to be in front of people and started acting.
And I am 100% totally convinced these two could make comedic productions of both Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables and they would be masterpieces.
