Could you do a photoset if possible of Fiona Morley of her various ballet girl roles? I'm pretty sure she was Hula Girl off and on as well in Masquerade.

I don’t have a photo of all the roles she covered, and it would probably be every single ballet track minus Meg Giry. But I can make a photoset of some of the costumes she’s donned. :)

I saw Fiona Morley left as well and she did 22 years as a ballerina? Wow! Is she the longest running ballerina or does Claire Tilling have her beat?

I think Fiona Morley might be the longest-running Phantom ballerina in the world at this point?

I’m not sure when Claire Tilling first joined, but she became principal Meg in 2004, and has been in and out of the show since then. That’s “only” some 15 years. I saw Tilling commenting on Twitter that she and Morley had shared a dressing room for 15 years; I assume that’s indicative of the run of the former.

Fiona Morley, on the other hand, has been with the show since the mid 1990s, and she’s had an almost continuous run as ballet girl and dance captain. Which I think gives her a longer run in total :)

Ballet girls present on 24th march 2017. There seemed to be some sickness or holidays in the ballet girls, only five were present for the show including one swing. All pictures are taken by me from the new brochure unless stated next to the name. 1: Lori Gilchrist - monkey 2: Morven Douglas - Triton Girl 3: georgia ware -butterfly 4: Fiona morley (swing) - hula girl (think this was the first time I had seen hula girl on stage) (picture is edited to make it brighter) 5: lily howes - gypsy Girl (from daisy hulberts Instagram)
