the phantom of the opera

Adam Robert Lewis sits down (virtually) with Scottish actor and singer, Scott Davies. 

Born in Glasgow, Scott trained in Opera at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. Scott has worked in both Opera and Musical Theatre, performing in Carmen, Rigoletto, Tosca, Cats, Carousel, Brigadoon and Phantom of the Opera. 

Scott Davies has been playing the Phantom for over 25 years now. Few actors are so deeply connected as Scott Davies is with The Phantom of the Opera. From joining the show as a swing back in 1991, Scott has risen through the ranks and is now a firm fan favourite Phantom among many!

 For those who have been lucky to watch his performance he's performed the immortal word's "Music of the Night" over 2,000 times...

Up until the closure of the West End theatre's Scott was the standby phantom at Her Majesty’s Theatre a position he's held for more than 10 years.

I love The Phantom Of The Opera.

In 2018, Ned Phillips and I recorded what would be our magnum opus as POTO fans: a painfully long podcast where we cover all the bases from the book to the movie to the stage show aka THE GREATEST MUSICAL OF ALL TIME. After collecting dust for the past 2 years, Ned finally took on the mission that I wasn't brave enough to tackle and edited our longform episode down to a scant 1.5 hours.

When I say we talk about it all, I mean it. From our own origin stories that led to our obsessions to a comparison of the novel to the musical to breakdowns of the characters' sideburns in the film version, we hit every talking point, even the Pink Floyd controversy.

Since we have clearly violated the shit out of some copyright law, please enjoy our podcast before we get a cease & desist order. Whether you are a new fan, an old fan, or just curious, buckle up for an emotional ride. Like, I get choked up just listening to this trailer. It is truly the G.O.A.T. 🐐

And for the record, I do totally get off on "The Music Of The Night".
