Howard, and his wonderful, soaring bari-tenor voice, returns tonight as the Phantom. Nice to know there is still some tradition on Bway and not just 23 1/2 yo's in Disney shows.

But I am still mad I didn't get to see John Cudia!

He was out the day I went to Phantom when he played Raoul. And I didn't get to see him as the Phantom. At least I saw him in Bryant Park.

God bless Howard McGillin for being with the production for so many performances.

He was the Phantom I saw, and I thought he was amazing. I think it's great when you get fantastic people able to thrive and perform in roles for long periods--Sandra Joseph, Steve Blanchard, Randall Keith, Carolee Carmello.

Also Marilyn Caskey. She played Mme. Giry for quite some time, and I expect her to return to it after Gypsy. She also played Carlotta.

He is to Phantom what Charlotte D'Amboise is to Chicago.

But it would be nice to get someone new in the role.

I have to agree...I'd love for John Cudia to have stayed much longer!
