Ramin Karimloo – the man behind that famous Phantom mask
ramin
Ramin Karimloo currently plays The Phantom in Phantom of the Opera. Ramin is originally from Iran but he grew up in Peterborough, Canada. Although he started out playing in rock bands in his home town playing part of the Phantom is a boyhood ambition come true for him. He’s been playing the part for almost two years and plans to continue through to September 2009. Ramin says that he first told a friend when he was only 12 that some day he’d play the part of the Phantom.
And now in Phantom: Love Never Dies
Phantom: Love Never Dies is a sequel to The Phantom Of The Opera, set not in Paris but in New York, and Ramin Karimloo has been cast in the part of the Phantom alongside Sierra Boggess as Christine for the previews that may take place over a long period at the Adelphi Theatre this autumn, and possibly simultaneously in Broadway.
