Harriet is leaving too in september

Whaaaat? Oh no. I hoped she’d stay around for another season :( Did she announce it anywhere?

                   Since there are open audition for POTO London and...                

   Nadim is leaving too ! need to know if Harriet is staying    

I saw he announced that on Instagram, and I wasn’t necessarily surprised. Like I wrote in the initial post, West End Raouls doesn’t stay around all that long, and he’s been there quite a while. I can see that he wants to try other things, though it appears he likes the role and the show a lot. So yeah.

When you were in Stockholm, did you go to the PhantomSD too? Do you do"stagedooring"?

Oh no, I didn’t. In general I hate stagedooring. I feel awkward. Only exception is Scott Davies, because he’s a hoot. But I did not stagedoor in Stockholm.

But I have absolutely no shame when it comes to taking a gazillion photos inside and in front of the theatre, hahaha!

                   Hi Anea! A question I've been wondering about:...                

 have you seen yesterdays periscope video with Harriet backstage @operafantomet ? it did not look that awfully neon pink there i think  

Blaaaah. Depending on the light it can look calmer. But I still see neon and bad decorations. (and it has nothing to do with lovely Harriet Jones)

                   “New Gala skirt just arrived for Harriet Jones....                

   Would love for her to stay! Or take over as principal again!  But have not others also got new costumes and then still left? @operafantomet    

Sure, it’s happened both in West End and elsehwhere. But usually we’re talking a costume or three. Here they’ve actually made her a brand new wardrobe, like, they’ve replaced basically every single costume: a new Elissa skirt, a new Rooftop costume, new Serafimo pants, new Serafimo skirt, new Serafimo blouse, new Wishing dress, new everything. That strikes me as an odd thing to do if she would be leaving in September/October.

I don’t think I’ve seen a brand new Christine wardrobe being made on this scale since they made new stuff for Sandra Joseph on Broadway, for the “longest running” anniversary in 2006 and ditto new brochure. It’s rare they make new costumes for any Christine on Broadway (unless we’re talking Sierra Boggess), and it’s rare they make a new brochure too (unless we’re talking Sierra Boggess). So a brand new wardrobe for Sandra Joseph was pretty unique. Ironically she left shortly after. But that wasn’t planned in any way.

Tempted to make a photoset of Harriet Jones’ new costumes now :)

                   Do you know of any Christine's have played on both...                

   And Emmi    

She never starred as Christine on different continents though? Only in different countries. And if counting that there’s way more Christines to be added. Deborah Dutcher, Patti Cohenour, Joke de Kruijf, Elizabeth Southard, Hyun Ju Choi/Tamami Sai, you name it :)
