Here would be my dream cast for a potential Dutch production...
The Phantom - Ron Link
Christine Daaé - Celine Purcell
Raoul, Vicomte de Changy - Kelvin Wormgoor
Madame Giry - Pia Douwes
Meg Giry - Noortje Herlaar
Apparently, it had a run in Denmark, so perhaps the Dutch will hop on board as well. I saw version 2.0 in London and the video of the Australian production. If you don't find the story too ridiculous, The Beauty Underneath awkwardly painful, or Devil Take the Hindmost too dull and slow, then there's always hope. I will admit I like most of the score and Australia probably gave it the best shot they could.

I agree that I think some of his best work in recent years was in that score, but my God the lyrics and the book that it was attached to... woof!
