Greg Mills, Kaley Ann Voorhees, Eric Jones and Greg Livoti demonstrating some of the magic of “Phantom of the Opera” on Broadway for youngsters, at a behind-the-scenes program hosted by Inside Broadway in May 2019 ( x )
“At the start of each performance, the three-tiered light fixture (with 48 bulbs and 6,000 beads) rests on the stage and is whisked up to the ceiling seemingly all on its own. In reality, several motors are hidden in the ceiling, lifting the 15,000-pound chandelier. An original set element, it’s computer operated and run by a Microsoft program that was released in 1984“
“An intricate wedding gown worn in one of the production’s final scenes caused the actress (Kaley Ann Voorhees) to stumble four years ago, during a performance she now looks back upon with a laugh. “There are so many layers to the wedding dress fabric in the end, so it’s very easy for your legs to get caught up in the bottom of it,” she recalled with a smile. “I was on with Paul [Schaefer] one time, it was maybe our second performance together. I went to turn around and didn’t get the skirt out from under me, so when he pulled me to get off the stage, I just fell onto my stomach.”
