"The Phantom"

endless list of favourite films: The Phantom of the Opera (2004), dir. Joel Schumacher

Somebody pinch me. I am beyond honored to announce that I will be playing Christine Daaé in the 40th Anniversary International Tour of The Phantom of the Opera. For the past two months, I've been quietly preparing for this journey, overflowing with so many emotions; it is hard to put into words just how much this opportunity means to me. Christine has been my dream role for as long as I can remember, and I cannot believe I get to share this timeless story with such a spectacular group of artists.

Phantom of the Opera was the show that introduced me to musical theater. I grew up watching @officialsierraboggess in the film adaptation and then got to experience @aliewoldt on Broadway. Watching each of their journeys was one of my biggest inspirations, and made me believe that I could pursue this career.

Japanese costume update:

For their opening in Nagoya, Christine has received some new costumes.

These costumes are based on the London production.

Costumes that have been updated for Nagoya are the Hannibal Slave Girl (1), Elissa Skirt (2-3), Star Princess (7-8) & Aminta (9) & Wedding dress (10).

The Dressing gown (4) updated during the previous stop in Fukuoka.

Of the costumes featured I believe the Rooftop/Countess dress (5-6) is the only costume that has not changed - although the pictures are not the best for confirming.

There are currently no pictures of the il Muto costume or blue dress - although I believe the il Muto costume may have received minor changes in Fukuoka.
