FRIDAY NIGHT HIGHLIGHTS

Lockyer/Pitcher/Gleason (US Tour 2005)

Gleason/Pitcher/Lockyer (US Tour 2005)

Travelling again this weekend, so instead of not streaming at all, decided to try one on Friday night instead!

The past few streams in this 40th Anniversary year have represented performances from the birthplace of Phantom in London's West End, the current World Tour, Copenhagen and the unrealized Paris production.

This week we hop across the Atlantic and into the world of US/North American productions. Of course, the granddaddy here is the Broadway production, which began its historic 35 year run in 1988.

There has also been a series of U.S. National Tours, beginning in 1989.

The two performances for this stream are from the Third U.S. National Tour, also called the Music Box tour (or Music Box Company) which ran from December 1992 through October 2010.

The first performance is from February 11, 2005 in Ft. Myers, Florida, featuring understudy Peter Lockyer as the Phantom, Rebecca Pitcher as Christine and Tim Martin Gleason as principal Raoul. This performance is notable for Mr. Lockyer removing his coat as well as his cape during the end of the title song and persisting through Music of the Night, which he memorably performs in his shirtsleeves and vest. Saturday Streams presented this performance once before in March of 2025. This is a highlights reel which runs about an hour. To round out the evening, I chose another highlights reel of the same company, at the same stop, just a few nights later on February 17, 2005. This time, for reasons I do not know, Tim Martin Gleason, principal Raoul, stepped into the role of the Phantom--he would become the principal Phantom for the last year and a half of this tour, beginning in May 2009 through October 2010. His Raoul would be the Phantom from our previous highlights reel, Peter Lockyer. As to why the switch happened, we will have to consult Celinapedia.

I thought it might be interesting to watch the same three people in the show with the Phantom and Raoul actors switching roles, and see how that changes the dynamics, especially playing against the same Christine actress. I have not seen this reel, nor has it been played before on Saturday Streams so it could turn out to be not interesting at all...we shall have to see!

As always, the stream will be on cy.tube and shy anons are welcome!

⭐Link and password will be posted here at 8:45 the day of the stream.

🚨 SOS DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS FIC? 🚨 title, author, anything

Any and all shares are appreciated. Someone knows this fic.

(Note that some of the details may be incorrect as my memory is not perfect)

- This was actively being written some time between 2013 - 2016.

- PRETTY SURE it was on AO3 but it could’ve been ff.net (2 people say they think ff.net)

- at least 60 chapters

- I forget the exact time period, but it was horse + buggy times. Potentially Victorian but not sure

- erik is the count (or other highly respectable person). Raoul is also well off but he is less rich than Erik

- raoul lives with a family member (pretty sure sister) not too far from Erik’s estate

- Christine is poor. She ends up at his estate to work for him. Not sure exactly what her job is. Nanny maybe? Maid?

- she ends up sleeping up stairs on the same floor as erik. She’s worried he has other intentions but he says he doesn’t

- he has a child - a boy 6-8ish years old, pretty sure this is not his son but was taken in when his mother died

- he has a library/office

- he draws or some shit so Christine gets him colored pencils for his bday

- at one point she “borrows” a book on sex acts from his library bc she either wants to fuck or is scared she’s gonna have to fuck. Maybe she was supposed to be a mistress? Or a companion? And she assumed that meant fucking.

- half mask pretty sure

- the unmasking scene is (pretty sure) Christine walks in when erik is playing with his kid in his kids bedroom and he’s unmasked

- Christine runs away to raouls house where she seeks comfort with raouls sister

- erik goes to a bar to purposefully get beaten up.

- Christine moves back in. Erik sort of courts this rich bitch.

- even uncovers an old ballroom for a ball

- later on he confesses that he never wanted to marry the rich bitch and only had eyes for Christine

This is all I remember. I desperately want to re-read it. I’ve been searching for it for like a year now.

Apparently some people still need to hear this so: using an 'ai checker' is still using ai. If you are feeding someone's fic to one of these checkers, you will still not be sure their fic is ai because they are not 100% accurate, but you can be 100% sure that you are using ai. For fic. Furthermore you are doing the work of an ai scraper for them. You are, personally, feeding the machine. There is no actual excuse for using an ai checker on fanfic as a hobby. YOU are the problem.

If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.
