Unfortunately, the brochures available skip from October 1993 to November 1994, so I’m not quite sure when cast change occurred, so these are the possibilities.
Phantom: Dave Willetts or Mark McKerracher
Christine: Lisa Hull or Nikki Ankara
Christine alt.: Josie Walker or Sarah Ryan
Raoul: Mike Sterling
