Phantom on Broadway Sets Closing Date (Episode 41)

The continued diverse casting that we have seen since 2021 has been great to see (even if it took decades to get there). But seeing as London has had five Christine’s of color in three years and not one Phantom, manager, or Piangi of color in the same time, one starts to wonder if there is a limit to how much diversity they are looking for.

Hello again! With the Broadway production closing, I thought it time to give some love to the original and some of those who have helped it last so long. We start off with my phavorite Broadway Phantoms.

A look at the different replica ‘Point of Bo Return’ staging’s.

A sequel to my analysis on Christine’s costumes, this time with the Phantom’s!

After an unexpected break (including a couple weeks with Covid) I am back with another episode! A pretty long one that includes the upcoming London cast change, another Broadway first, news about the Australian Tour, and a talk about online comments in recent weeks.

Almost an entire company (current and incoming) found out through social media that the show they were in would be closing a year earlier than expected. Without me telling you which show, this situation could apply to many. Because sadly, this is still an issue since social media became the way of communicating with a lot of people at once. But when a lot of dreams and paychecks are being affected, it’s perhaps best to let your company know first before strangers on the internet.

The first outdoor production of Phantom is here!

The Restaged Tours often get a lot of criticism, which I think is warranted to an extent. However, I do think there were parts that deserve some recognition. Even if they didn’t surpass the original, there are several aspects that I want to toss some appreciation to!

What do you get when you mix Maria Bjornson costumes with a brain that analyzes everything? This weeks episode!
