Any ideas as to who will leave/stay in POTO London this year?

rhythmicskater did an update a week ago:

There she writes cast change appears to be September 5, and that it looks like Harriet Jones and Gerónimo Rauch both leaves. Possibly also Emmi Christensson and Liam Tamne (West End Raouls never stay long so that doesn’t surprise me).

But I’m only quoting here now, I know squat about who’s leaving and/or staying, and what the latest rumours tells. So… go to the source for more info!

Anna O'Byrne left Phantom in London in June 2013, not September :)

I’ve corrected it, thank you! :)

miniatureoftheopera replied to your photoset: So the World Tour sometimes have the “heavy...

I have a technical drawing of the proscenium saying that the lower canvas part should be detachable for trucking. Could it have something to do with dimension. For a lower stage they lower the proscenium and remove the drapes?

I assume a combo of stage dimensions and side view. However, I have noticed a tendency of them not using them in recent times, though the stage has been high and big, and there’s no side view to speak of - for example the recent Taipei arena run. But then boom! they’re back in Istanbul. So it got me curious. 

And you’re absolutely right, Vegas also had them. Back in the days I thought it was an addition exclusive for Vegas, to fill out the side stage in compensation of the lacking stage boxes. So that’s pretty cool that they’re in the World Tour as well.

rhythmicskater replied to your post: The Teri Bibb photoset was fun to make.  Any other... Maybe not what you were looking for, but Degas Ballet in the London production?

It’s something the West End production does exceptionally well, though... :)

rhythmicskater replied to your post: Wait, so is Brad Little no longer the Phantom in... As someone who’s had very bad eye infections frequently, my theory is that he’s ok to perform, but they want to wait til the infection’s clear so the makeup doesn’t get infected (then he’ll just keep getting more eye infections). It’s economical :P

I assume that's part of it. Definitely. But he writes it’s viral. It can:

A: mean his eyes are constantly running, which would not be optimal for a 2,5 hour long show (and ditto makeup),

B: mean it’s highly contagious, and that would not be fair to his Christines, who’s doing some hefty kissing in the Final Lair (my guess is that it’s why he did the sitzprobe but not the dress rehearsal where promo photos were taken).

rhythmicskater replied to your post:Hi! I'm a performer who doesn't tolerate revealing... Methinks anon will not have too much success in the professional world… is it just me, or is Christine’s stuff not revealing in the slightest?

Apart from the corps de ballet Slavegirl one? Neeh, they never struck me as particularly exposed. But Maria Bjørnson WAS fond of a defined waist and a hefty cleavage, I’ll give her that.

rhythmicskater replied to your photo: So Russian fans has voted for a name for the… West End one definitely still has multiple names - I was told it was Sid XD

I get the feeling that with the West End production, being the longest running of the lot, each new cast adds their own names and traditions to it. Which is pretty nice, really. :) I’ll add Sid to the list!

rhythmicskater replied to your photoset: A rare combination: Star Princess Christine and… In photo 4, is that how her dress always sat or was it not done up yet? It looks like it’s about to fall down O.O

It's not all closed in the back, I believe. It's definitely not how she wore it!
