So I went with my friends to watch Phantom of the Opera tonight. Our country got the national tour cast, some of whom sounded really promising in promo videos! I was really excited..... And then today, all three of our main leads were played by understudies and alternates. Even Meg was played by an understudy (who apparently doesn’t have much singing experience, and it SHOWED....). IT WAS SO DISAPPOINTING. ;____; While the second act was slightly better, Raoul was the only one who sounded great throughout. I did enjoy Michael Gillis’ rather unique interpretation in his acting of Erik, but you simply cannot cheer for the Angel of Music when he sounds..... average. ;w;
