Yup. John left at the end of May. I don't know of his current or future projects though. Sorries!

i liked tim martin gleason. he sounded like patrick wilson, except more operatic. IMO, he could have done better with his acting, but his voice was amazing.

I saw him perform in Stars in the Alley and thought he sounded great, but of course this was out of the context of the show. Plus he is gorgeous - I took 3 photos of them performing just to get lots of photos of him.

YAY Tim Gleason. He's adorable.

Michael Shawn Lewis took over for him on tour. Talk about über adorable...

I saw John Cudia as Raoul and thought he was great. Then I went back up to see the Phantom on June the 6th and was shocked to see he was not there. But I liked Gleason too, I think he did a great job. I do think I may like Cudia a little better though. I am also gonna really miss Hugh as the Phantom if it turns out he actually leaves.

Most definitely. I'm I'm sure Hugh will be performing on a Broadway stage near you, even he's no longer with POTO.
