With Michele McConnell having given her final performance this past Saturday evening, does anyone know who is taking over the role tonight?

I'm really curious too! I know someone is rehearsing but haven't heard a name yet.

They may do understudies and swings until the official start date. I'm curious as well if there will be a new alternate Christine announcement soon, since Rachel's last day is Nov 5th. I wonder if Kaylee Ann Vorhees is coming back now that Prince of Bway is over.

They haven't announced it at all yet. Michele is still listed as Carlotta on the Playbill Vault page for Phantom.

Hopefully they announce it at all, they barely announced the fact that Michele would be leaving.

I've heard a first name, but nothing more.

"I wonder if Kaylee Ann Vorhees is coming back now that Prince of Bway is over."

That would be welcome news.

Yeah I found that quite odd, as I was there recently and didn't even realize I was at one of her last few shows

I believe Saturday night was also John Easterlin's final performance as Piangi, although that's not particularly a bad thing IMO.

Hmm, more importantly, when's the new Phantom being announced? Phantom Bway's social media seems to be posting rows of photos on Instagram, but not posting them all at once, so for a couple days the most recent post was just Raoul's arm.
