Original Production vs. Re-opened Production

A non-exhaustive list of differences between the original production of ALW’s The Phantom of the Opera (pre-COVID shut-down) and it’s re-opening.

Explanations:

Different hairstyles for the ballerinas during Hannibal.

Christine hugs Meg at the beginning of ‘Angel of Music’.

Use of doubles in the title song has been eliminated, we now see Raoul running past ballerinas during the transition.

Slightly altered ‘Music of the Night’ blocking.

The Mirror Bride is now a silvery color.

Slightly altered Il Muto blocking.

(London only) No Golden Angel, a Pegasus statue is used instead.

Slightly different ‘Masquerade’ choreography

Altered ‘Point of No Return’ blocking

(To the end) (Only for some Christines) Different hairstyles for Christine
