May I request some Raoulstine content from last night's stream, pretty please? I love how touchy-feeling Lucy St. Louis and Matt Blaker are during Notes II!
Of course!

Top 5 portrayals of Raoul from Phantom of the Opera!
-Rain
OH I LOVE THIS QUESTION SO MUCH OMG, TYYYY RAIN!
Okay so I can't remember exactly why they're on my top five, BUT I do know they've made enough of an impression to be ON it and I am VERY particular about which Raouls I love.
SO! Without further ado...
5. Matt Blaker
Specifically I loved his performance with Holly Anne Hull!! MMMMMM the CHEMISTRY.
4. Bronson Norris Murphy
I've only seen ONE bootleg with him but I LOVED IT.
3. Rhys Whitfield
I saw exactly ONE video of a performance he did of All I Ask of You and i was instantly SOLD. I LOVE HIM.
2. John Riddle
I saw bits of a bootleg he's in, and I also saw a video of him singing Think of Me and LIKE. HIS VOICE OMG. It's so gorgeous! And his Raoul is so soft 🥺 AND EARNEST 🥺 might've made me fall in love with Raoul all over again actually. And I think I love his portrayal almost as much as Hadley's!
1. Hadley Fraser
MY BOY!!! HE!!! My first Raoul and the man who made me fall in love with him!!! Hadley himself!! Just!! I love him so much!! I actually think his portrayal is very similar to Book!Raoul, which I love (because Book!Raoul is my favorite of all the Raouls tbh)! Also his voice... AUGH. I MELT EVERY TIME. Seriously if I heard him sing irl I might actually cry.
Ask me my "TOP 5/TOP 10" anything!
