Beatrice Penny-Touré brochure images.

These are the images that have not been published online from what I can tell or are slightly different angles to the online/theatre images.

Other pictures featured in the brochure are the boat, Music of the Night and Rooftop images but these look like the same pictures as online (possibly with slightly different editing.

This brochure is currently on sale at Phantom London so if you visit there you will likely buy this one.

Phantom returns to Norway!

Based on the creative team it will be a revival of the 2018 production - now the Middle Eastern/European tour.

For some reason I can’t stop asking why didn’t the Phantom kill Raoul in the musical sometime prior to Final Lair?

This has always perplexed me. In the book, it’s very clear that, because Raoul is leaving on a North Pole expedition, Erik sees no need to trouble himself with killing him. Erik sees Raoul not as a rival but more of a bother, so why would he put unnecessary effort into getting rid of him, when the boy seems perfectly capable of doing so by being lost at the North Pole? Fairly simple.

In the musical, though, Raoul is not leaving on any expedition, and Erik has every opportunity to get rid of him. It would’ve been easy to stage an accident. The obvious answer is “well, it would upset Christine” but as we well know, Erik’s not the best at understanding the basic fact that Christine isn’t a huge fan of murder (see Buquet’s death and Piangi’s extended nap) so I don’t think he would be taking Christine’s emotions into account at all, as he seems incapable of seeing her as a full person until Final Lair.

Now the second obvious answer is “cause it would be a big bummer and break the plot” but we’re talking about story alone so that doesn’t count!

So, why doesn’t Erik kill Raoul prior to Final Lair in the musical? My theories/ideas:

Idea 1: Raoul is a patron of the Opera House and therefore helps pay Erik’s salary. Don’t bite the hand that feeds, right? (Possible contributing factor, but not likely)

Idea 2: Erik sees Raoul as a rival and wants Christine to genuinely choose. Erik wants to be chosen rather than forcing her hand. (Most likely)

Idea 3: Erik knows the death of the Vicomte de Chagny, even as an accident, would harm the Opera House’s reputation and/or draw attention away from Christine’s stardom. Especially if it occurred sometime after the chandelier fell, which was already a major accident. (Possible contributing factor, likely)

…Idea 4: Erik has tried. Many times. Raoul keeps evading him like Bugs Bunny.

Let me know what possibilities I missed cause this is getting to me. Yes I’m going too in depth but that’s my specialty!

This is how Christine rewards her basement puppy when he’s being a good boy.
