Adam Pascal as Phantom — Page 2

SDave,

I thought the same thing. If a member of KISS could play the Phantom then Pascal can easilly. I can atually see him do it. His unique voice would fit the role perfectly. I don't think that it needs to be a full out classical tenor. That is what it has been but I don't think that is what it needs to be. However, this is just me.

Another role he said in the interview that he wanted was Billy Flynn in Chicago. However, I doubt that will happen due tothe fact that the Wsslers ahve been ca

Paul Stanley was a stunt casted by Drabinksy, who was the producer of the Toronto production.

Pascal would be very good in the role, I think, and I'd love to see it.

As much as I love this musical in question, I do feel it could use a fresh coat of paint if it is indeed going to continue running.

I suggest:

Bring in a new fresh cast (for the most part, SOME people have not been there long at all, ie Wills, current Christine).

Change some of the wigs to play things up a bit. Christine's wigs in Europe and, especially, Australia are far better than their American counterparts. For example, in the recent Denmark production, Christine was a blonde.

Get rights to use the mask from London to continue shaking things up a little.

Get the rights to use the lighting and new orchestrations to several songs.

It's amazing what these simple things could do for the show. They have an endless supply of old costumes from productions worldwide that differ from America, and any little change would be great, I say.

And Pascal would be a great addition!

Blonde? Yay for Canon!Christine.

as a hardcore phantom phan and an even more hardcore RENTHEAD i would looooooooove to see adam as the phantom. he should come play the phantom in february in san antonio. lol.

I commented on this after the movie came out. Gerard's "to the seat of sweet music's throne" reminded me of Adam and I think if they're willing to cast Gerard in the movie, then they should be willing to cast Adam on stage since he'd be better then Gerard anyway. Well, just about everyone is...

what does the mask look like in London?

I just listened to a version of Stanley's 'Music of the Night' and ummm...the only word that comes to mind is painful. Very, VERY painful. (And this is coming from a hard-core KISS fan mind you!)

21st Century London Mask:


21st Century Broadway Mask:


I mean...I like both, but the Phantom has an AWESOME look in London...long side burns, a very interesting and, dare I say, more mysterious, mask...it's just so fascinating. It looks almost as if it's sanded down....it comes off as smoother and less overly polished.

NO TO THE LONDON MASKS

they suck

that pic is a rather nice one, but the recent ones used by Earl Carpenter, Ramin and even Mat Camelle when he was standby are awfull. big forehead, over done nose, just too much mask. The US masks are just fine.

I can smell the crap already.

It should be played by someone who has a classically trained baritone or tenor voice, and Adam Pascal does not have this.

And Gerard Butler did? Not saying I think he worked (I don't). But just sayin'.

hah well yeah the role wasn't "available"...for Adam.
