The Phantom of the Opera North American Tour 2025 - Phantom's Deformity
First look at the Phantom's deformity in the new tour. Each actor is 3D scanned and apparently all have individual sculpts. Principle Phantom, Isaiah Bailey (pictured) does not have the enlarged lip on his sculpt. It will be interesting to see if any of the understudies do. While the lip deformity (especially the lower lip) has been increasingly rare in recent years, it still is featured on the World Tour. It is a favorite of mine, but it understandably makes the makeup more obnoxious to maintain.
This version appears to extend the deformity onto the right ear.
Makeup is beautifully applied and painted by the Tour's head of makeup, Ashley Roller (@ashleywigsmakeup on IG).
