"The Final Bow" commissioned from THE AMAZING @rose-margaritas

A bunch of friends and I saw Clay Singer/Riley Noland/Francisco Javier Gonzalez's Masquerade pulse together and were collectively traumatized by this exact moment. This is Clay!Erik looking over his shoulder at me, @ravens-repine, and @poorerik during Final Lair. A sniveling, sweating, sobbing mess of a man. With his world falling apart around him. This brief moment seemed small at the time compared to the grand tragedy unfolding before us. But the grief and terror of this one moment will haunt me for the rest of my days.

Eventually I just said "fuck it" and commissioned Margaret, who I've wanted to commission for a while now, and they were (and still are) in a Masquerade art renaissance. So the stars aligned perfectly. Margaret's art is amazing. She is amazing. So polite and patient despite me being like the most insane individual. They answered all my questions no matter how stupid. Took all my requests seriously so as to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. Made suggestions based off her own expertise, especially in terms of composition and lighting. Was very open about price and other logistics ahead of time so I always knew exactly what was going on.

11/10 please commission this AMAZINGLY talented, visionary, kind, passionate individual because you will receive a life changing piece like this one that you will cherish forever.

Will be best on headphones!

Most Phantoms like to option that second why into a wail/scream. Not Greg Mills. His take on the second why, was so low, raspy, and feral (and unhinged, must not forget about unhinged).

Saturday, July 18, 2026 • 9 p.m. EST: Cortes/Boggess/Jacquemart (Paris 2016)

and

Mills/Roberts, Finnie, Marven/McCollum (World Tour 2025/2026)

This week's stream is very special, featuring two productions with clips never before shown on Saturday Streams!

PARIS 2016

First up is something rare and unusual--clips from the sitzprobe for the never realized Paris production. The following summary of the history of the Paris production--as well as the clips themselves--are provided by @glassprism:

The Paris production was set to open in October 2016 at the Mogador Theatre and to play until sometime in 2017, coinciding with Phantom's 30th anniversary,  Unfortunately a fire broke out about a week before the production was going to open and burned away the floor and some of the sets and equipment. Rebuilding everything would have pushed Phantom's opening into the next year, and as the theater already had a number of shows lined up already, it was decided to cancel Phantom rather than move all the other productions back.

Our Paris cast is Garðar Thór Cortes as the Phantom, Sierra Boggess as Christine and Bastien Jacquemart as Raoul. The production libretto is in French--so a first chance to hear a stage Phantom sing and speak in his native language!

The sitzprobe footage we will see is predominantly composed of the cast standing in front of microphones and performing in street clothes (sadly no costumes…)

The picture below is from Sierra Boggess' Instagram circa 2016, and shows a dress rehearsal of the Paris production, taken the day before the fire.

WORLD TOUR 2025/2026

The second act of the stream will be Hi-Def Harry Mills clips from the current World Tour. The clips are from three different shows, and feature three different Christines.

The first clip is MOTN from 2025, with Grace Roberts as Christine.

The second clip is Final Lair from 2025, with Caitlin Finnie as Christine and Rory McCollum as Raoul.

The third clip is Final Lair from 2025, with Grace Roberts as Christine and Rory McCollum as Raoul.

The fourth and final clip is a complete Act Two from 2026, with Kayleigh Marven as Christine and Rory McCollum as Raoul.

So a bountiful beneath a moonless sky amount of Final Lairs (again and then again...) featuring fan favorite Harry Mills as the Phantom and three lovely Christines! 

The clips vary in quality; some close-ups get a bit blurry and some clips feature static or moving watermarks.

Thank you so much to Celina/GlassPrism for sourcing these clips which make their premiere on Saturday Streams, and for the screencaps below.

“What if I had been born a regular man,

Instead of this hideous beast?

Would you have kept your promise then?”

I tried to create the “normal” Cherik. I had no references while drawing so sorry if it doesn’t bear that much resemblance to Charles dance lol.

@paper-faces (lol u wanted to see this so here)

[phishyie]

I always love to do @thedrawingduke in Artfight! Any excuse to draw Beka’s characters is a serious treat for me!

A study of Das Phantom Of The Oper, I'm curious about what happened during that scene and what's the difference between the world tour.
