Someone in the Facebook group posted this breakdown (apparently the pairings are indeed the same for each show, contrary to what someone said earlier), I assume matinees follow the same schedule:

700- Kyle and Eryn 

715 - Telly and Haile

730 - Hugh and Francesca

745 - Nik and Kaily

800- Clay and Riley

815- Jeff and Anna

But here's the thing. If you don't care, then why are you here?

Then don't attend and let other people enjoy themselves. I just solved your whole problem.

Because both the original novel and the libretto of the musical refer to Christine's vacillation between two erroneous assumptions: that the Phantom is an "angel" sent to her by her dead father, or the Phantom is the reincarnation of her dead father. Consequently, the age difference between the actors should plausibly reflect that of a father and daughter.

So we're concerned that this murderer's privacy-invading, gaslighting attempts to romance and eventually force a girl to love him would come across as too creepy if the age gap is too big?

If this is intended as a response to me, "too creepy" is your thought. I said "the age difference between the actors should plausibly reflect that of a father and daughter" in order to adhere to the storyline.
