I don’t really touch her. I run my hands near to her, and I nearly touch her. I mean, I do push her face away, but it’s all…it’s a wanting, it’s a wrapping himself around her and hopefully the music will do that, the dry ice in the background will do that, and it makes for a very sexual piece without being overtly sexual. It must never become lewd. It must never become coarse.

I’ve watched an interview with Michael from his POTO days and he was talking about this.  He said if Christine were to take in a breath (raising her chest) as he ran his hand down her front, then it would become lewd.  I think about this a lot when I watch other Phantoms.  Michael put so much thought into his role and I love him for it. <3
