"Look at your face in the mirror"

I realize they may change on any given day, but what are the current "normal day" Phantom/Christine pairings at each pulse?

JORDAN DONICA (RAOUL),

RACHEL ESKENAZI-GOLD (CHRISTINE) ,

JAMES BARBOUR

I know this one has been posted in the past, but in honor of Jordan becoming London's Phantom, here's a video of him as Raoul. Great close-ups, but unfortunately several black-outs.

Jordan is one of the best Raouls (hopefully a video of him as the Phantom will show up soon).

Rachel is often overlooked, but she is amazing!!!

Since I original posted this, another YouTuber verified the cast and explained the intentional blooper (aka Easter Egg) that I heard in "Notes 1" and another more subtle one during the Auction (which I missed):

"Christine was played by Lisanne C. Veeneman, Raoul by Niels Bouwmeester.

Regarding your second question: as it was the final performance, they placed some "easter eggs" in the show. I guess your timestamp refers to the laughter during the auction (2:50)? This dialogue is usually it is finished after Raoul bids "30", Mme Giry shaking her head and the auctioneer stating "Es bleibt also bei 30" (30 being the final bid). That evening Mme Giry continued bidding by saying "35" and Raoul immediately saying "40". Which was immensely funny for those who knew the original dialogue - and as it was the final performance, a LOT of people got the joke and laughed.

If you mean the timestamp at 50:20: There the original line was "und was ist es was ich schrub in dem Brief" (using "schrub" as wrong past tense form of "schreiben") and getting corrected by M.André saying "schrieb" (which is the correct past tense form). In this special performance Firmin said it correctly "und was ist es was ich schrieb in dem Brief" and still Andre said his line "schrieb" and then shooting a (staged) surprised look at Firmin. During the laughter and applause of the audience you can hear Firmin saying "einmal richtig" which means something like "for once I got it right". "

Isaiah Bailey, Jordan Lee Gilbert and Daniel Lopez

The leads of the Phantom Tour perform "All I Ask of You", "Wishing..." and "The Music of the Night", and talk about their history with Phantom.

Anton Zetterholm, Lisanne Clémence, Niels Bouwmeester

This was posted on YT by someone who has posted MANY shows from Austria (no other POTOs, but if you're a Cats fan...).

Anton Zetterholm played The Phantom, but Christine and Raoul were not listed by the original poster, so I messaged and another YouTuber answered:

"As far as I know, Christine was played by Lisanne Clémence in the closing night. But Roy Goldman had to leave the production a few weeks earlier for personal reasons, so in the closing night Raoul was played by Niels Bouwmeester."

So until anyone else answers otherwise, I'm going with that info.

Note 1: Act 2 is over an hour because there is about 13 minutes of roaring and applause at the end!

Note 2: There is some sort of blooper about 50 minutes into Act 1 - one of the Managers apparently said/did something wrong or unexpected (perhaps intentional... after all it was Closing Night)

A "master class" on lyric phrasing in Javert's Suicide in "Les Miserables".

This audio was posted on YouTube yesterday (as always, NOT by me). It's a Beatrice audio from only six days ago.

Listen soon... YouTube has removed at least one recording of a current POTO production, so while it's still there... (and if it's not there, it happened again)

SYDNEY HARBOUR POTO VIDEO

Jake Lyle, Amy Manford, Jarrod Draper - April 4, 2026 FAR-REACHING!!!

RAMIN GUEST APPEARANCE ON "CIA" (Season 1 Episode 9)

Interesting comments and suggestions about his Phantom costume

I think Isaiah is one of the best recent principal Phantoms, but his "You Resist" is barely audible.

The last two times Christine saw the Phantom, he tried to drop a chandelier on her and violently ripped her necklace/engagement ring from her neck!!!

This PHANTOM OF THE OPERA VIDEO was posted yesterday on YouTube. It's a Broadway performance from March 26, 2015.

No matter what you might think of James Barbour, this is a nicely shot video.
