#0Age of Christines on Broadway?
Posted: 1/21/05 at 4:58pmAs I was looking through the pictures of the new Elphaba and others from the festival, I saw the picture of Julie Hanson (I think that's her name) from Phantom of the Opera. She looked like she was 22! How old are actress who play Christine usually? I always thought they would be late 20s and early 30s. I ask because it is one of my dream roles and am afriad my time is running out if the women playing her are my age!

Posted: 1/21/05 at 5:03pm20s-30s is what's listed in the equity breakdown. Apparently, I looked too young, and I'm 25. You should be ok if you're on the younger looking side until around 35, I'd say.

Posted: 1/21/05 at 6:20pmThey like someone older to be on Broadway because (according to ALW) it would be impossible for someone so young to sing that part every night. But I would think 25 is okay so I don't really know...
