I've got tickets to see the national tour of Phantom Of The Opera next week, on Friday the 13th of October. I did this on purpose, hoping that something thrilling might happen! Has anyone else ever seen a performance of this show on Friday the 13th? I'll post again next week to let you know the outcome of the performance!
(The cast is John Cudia, Marni Raab, Adam Monley, Kim Stengel, etc. What do you think of them? Are they a high caliber cast?)
Once I saw Phantom on Friday the 13th and the chandelier malfunctioned and Christine lost her leg.
There was so much blood...
I don't think they have the Phantom wear a hockey mask, if that's what you mean...

Yay John Cudia! Otherwise I have no idea. LizzieCurry stole my prediction.
hoping that something thrilling might happen!
It IS Phantom, after all. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Kim Stengel is GOD. She's the longest running Carlotta in Phantom history, and nails the performance without ever missing a beat. Someone bring her to New York.
I never liked her Carlotta. Can't explain why, though.

You're not the first person I heard that from. Those who don't like her aren't able to put their finger on what it is exactly.
In my opinion she plays the role to perfection. Not to mention each of her performances today are still as fresh as they were 12 years ago... unlike some performers we know who've been playing the same role for quite some time and should retire.
Maybe they'll do a grab night that evening and add a bit of extra spice to is.

John Cudia is perfection as Raoul. You're lucky to be seeing him.

Isnt John the Phantom now?
Phantom on Friday the 13th....the best you can hope for is Christine's boobs falling out in Hanibal- but as if that hasnt happened before.
Yeah, he's been the Phantom for a while. Adam Monley is Raoul.
I really loved the tour when I saw it in Vancouver. John was dead on and I got to see Jennifer Hope Wills who was SPECTACULAR!! But she's back on bway now. Anyway, have fun, it is really great!
