Have you read about Sierra being the new Paris Christine? This is really disappointing. I imagined they would find a French singer, or at least cast someone like Rachel Anne Moore :(
Well, I have now! Actually, I check my inbox first, so reading your ask was how I found out.
I don’t know about casting an actual French singer; I have almost zero experience with French musical theater, but I’ve seen people talk about it and complain about the quality of many French female singers cast in the musicals - like, there were a couple of posts back when the French production was announced worrying about it even then. So I suppose casting Sierra Boggess, who is a decent singer (weird vowels notwithstanding), is better than casting, I don’t know, someone with a really pop sounding voice or something.
But that doesn’t really stop me from being kind of tired of Sierra Boggess’s Christine and seeing her foisted onto every anniversary production, and right now, I’m looking forward more to seeing who is cast as her alternate and understudy (and of course, the people taking on the roles of Phantom, Raoul, etc.).
