A year ago today, I saw Phantom for the very first time!
Restaged US Tour with all of its, uh...interesting choices or not, I still had the time of my life and cried like a baby 😂

Woke up this morning without a show on the horizon for the first time in 2.5 years.
There is no way to actually sum up such an adventure, but if I’ve done my math right that’s 50 cities. 117 weeks on the road. Who knows how many hours on planes or busses and hundreds of bobby pins lost forever in the patterns of dressing room carpets. 779 performances—483 of those in the female ensemble and 296 of them as Christine. So many wonderful, generous-hearted phans reaching out at stage doors and on Instagram. 14 different hotels, 34 apartments, and 5 stays with beautiful friends (@smills17 @minakullmann @skavon @liselindstrom1 @senor_beto @awildloringappears ). Infinity bruises and tissues and cough drops and tea. 1 on-stage earthquake. 1 show cancelled because it was so impossibly cold. 1 @simon.cross.works to anchor my heart. 1 company—1 phamily full of people so unbelievably dear to me who care and support and love and encourage and tease and laugh and console and celebrate together without a shadow of hesitation and who gave to each other a moveable “home.”
