Favorite Final Lairs

Peter Karrie & Elizabeth DeGrazia, Phantom of the Opera 1998

Hard to find a more unhinged final lair than this one. It is a serious emotional roller coaster, but there are so many Karrie things that are just uniquely...Karrie. Watching the way he moves as Erik is like looking at a masterclass in immersion.

A very belated happy birthday to Peter Karrie!!

This is a very rare UK Tour promotional picture featuring Deborah Dutcher as Christine!!

Oops, I forgot I am meant to be a Phantom fan blog.

Here’s Peter Karrie as the Phantom, with Christmas lights, circa mid 1990s, probably about 1996. I’m not sure exactly when… it fell out of a very old diary when I was putting old things in boxes.

The "Isn't he sexy" stream notes

'Blair Witch Phantom' by @illuminaughty and 'Mr incel dungeon' by [don't remember who, pls tell me if anyone remembers] as alternaitve titles

The VHS quality in general made it so cozy

Someone noticed how this production's Carlotta really embodies Belle Époque, I see that

Someone has said it was 'one of the Three Sit-Down Productions in the U.S. back in the 90s' - this one by Christine Company (LA), and @phantoonsoftheopera kindly listed all 4 companies: Phantom (Broadway), Christine (LA & SF), Raoul (2nd Natl Tour), and Music Box (3rd Natl Tour)

apparently, Oracle of Delphi was high from the geothermal vents @illuminaughti-online . It seems like academics found some evidence for gases which could cause vivid imagery, but it's up for a debate whether there were enough exposure to chemicals to cause these hallucinations

Trivia about the Crawford production that's new to me: apparently, at first many expected little from Crawford's Phantom since he was more used to comedy parts @stephistopheles

In the same lieu, from @glassprism: '@daaesviolin I remember Operafantomet talking about how both Crawford and Brightman sang using, what, an elder RP accent is what it might be called? It's not really taught anymore I think, so you don't hear it nowadays'

List of Phantom actors with 'ghostly' voices: Michael Crawford, Hugh Panaro, Davis Gaines, Alexander Goebel, Masachika Ichimura, Peter Karrie

Someone noted Crawford moves like a panther (in parallel to other Phantoms who are lizard-like)

@litloverscorsetlaces (sorry for the late tag, I've just noticed this is your nickname here!) has found an academic article that discussed Michael Crawford's hands a lot! "‘Think of me fondly’: Voice, body, affect and performance in Prince/Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera" (tumblr doesn't let me link the pdf here, but if you google it it should pop up on the 1st page)

Isabel Leonard in her trouser roles like Cherubino (when discussing Christine's Serafimo)

@haunted-hideaway: Aww man I miss Car Talk @illuminaughti-online: Gondola Talk got you covered

I forgot to copy it, but I think Celina mentioned how the monkey costume during Masquarade both mirrors Erik's Monkey music box, and possibly represents Christine's anxiety about him

it was far-reaching (which was the original, until someone ad-libbed it, and then it was transferred to libretto; most of this PotO trivia here is from Celina, thank you for sharing the knowledge!)
