I wish! I have tickets for late May and mid-July and am hoping that Mr. Crawford can dispel the memory of James Barbour for me. Can't wait to hear reports.

Not gonna lie Lot666... I went back to circa 1988 in my head and for a second thought the "Mr. Crawford" you are referring to was Michael...LOL

It's normally the alternate on Weds evening and Saturday matinees, but that's always subject to schedule changes.

Jay joining as Raoul has left me slightly slack-jawed, but go Jay! In less then a decade in New York, he’s become known as one of the hardest workers around and he’s earned it. He always is working and surprising people with his work.

Jay joining the show is fantastic news and casting! I wonder how long he plans to stay? I'd like to make it out to see him

Great to see three new-to-Phantom names in the three lead roles (and all super talented)!

I thought Ali was signed through the summer but i could be wrong. Still awaiting word from last night lol

I think if a new Christine were to join the cast that it would have been announced. Ali is still on the website, and Ben Crawford has been added.

The website really needs to update their photo gallery also, they still have up James and since then we had Peter and Laird. the photos are also HUGE and take forever to load

Posted: 4/18/18 at 8:19pmI have tickets for next week! Very excited to see him- I’m trying to go in with basically a blank slate. I think I did see him in Charlie, but I blocked most of that show from my memory.
