Dale Kristien?

That was wonderful. I used to work at Phantom when Dale was in the show, but unfortunately I don't remember much about her performance.

I have her solo album -- it's lovely. Haven't heard much about her lately.

I was honored to wait 10 hours in the hot California sun to snag a ticket to a performance of Michael Crawford's sold-out LA Phantom gig. Michael, of course, gave a performance that has never been rivaled (and the BUCKETS of roses that they threw at him during curtain call was insane - they covered the whole stage - and this was a weeknight performance)! But, I was equally impressed with Dale (who I had never heard of before). She gave a deep portrayal of Christine that included some really nice moments that weren't expressed solely through song, which I find lacking in so many Christines. Dale was alive throughout, not just dormant until it was her turn to sing! I also believe Dale was the ONLY Christine (at least at the time) that was cleared to perform the role all eight times a week. So, maybe she was eccentric or interesting, but that probably made her performance so much more well rounded and deep than your "average Christine."
