The Definitive “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again” YouTube Countdown

A lot goes into making a stellar Christine Daae, the leading lady of the iconic Broadway musical The Phantom of the Opera; but, if we are going to be truly honest with ourselves, it all comes down to nailing the Act Two solo “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again.” BroadwayBox trolled YouTube far and wide to come up with 10 videos of actresses singing the powerful Andrew Lloyd Webber tune [note some of your favorites might not be here because Broadway/West End bootlegs were disqualified—official videos only]. Scroll on as we countdown from “meh” to middle of the office standing ovation, then tweet us (@BroadwayBox) your picks.
PS: If you want to hear how current Christine (Mary Michael Patterson) measures up, snag a ticket to see Phantom at the Majestic Theatre.10. Tabitha Webb
