Hello! I'm planning to go see Phantom for the first time next month, but still deciding on which performances to go see. Does anyone know what the current alternate schedule for Kaley Ann Voorhees and Eryn LeCroy is?

Unless it's changed recently, Eryn does Monday nights and Thursday Matinees.
Eryn in particular is very responsive on social media (twitter, insta, etc) if you ask her if there have been any schedule changes due to commitments or vacations etc.
Edit: for the record, both women are EXCELLENT Christines and you will see a wonderful show no matter what performance you choose. I hope you enjoy your first time! As someone who has seen the show a fair amount of times, it still has such magic even after 31 years!

Thank you! I've loved watching the 25th anniversary version of Phantom, and now I can't wait to see it live on Broadway!

You've picked a good time to see it, because the current Phantom (Ben Crawford) is perhaps the best I've ever seen/heard. In fact, I'm going twice during my June trip because his contract is up in October. Also, I saw Kaley Ann Voorhees as Christine back when she was the alternate, and I thought she was much better than the primary at the time.

Crap is he leaving in October or is that just when the contract is up? Wanted to see him so bad but I dont think I can make it there till January

He's only said his current contract is through October, but has given no indication of whether or not he will extend or leave. I'm sure he's not allowed to say if he's leaving until closer so I have no idea if he will extend, though many phantoms tend to.

He told me on social media that his current contract ends in October, but he has not been forthcoming with regard to any possibility of an extension.

I didn't want to make a new thread for this question: I'm going to see Phantom next weekend (Saturday matinee) and am wondering if anyone knows if Ben Crawford will be out? According to social media he is out quite a bit lately...

I went to the Thursday matinee two weeks ago and Ben was out (I caught what I believe to have been Laird Macintosh's final performance as the Phantom before leaving for the My Fair Lady tour) and Kaley was noted on the board as Christine.
Laird was wonderful and has a gorgeous voice and I really enjoyed Kaley's Christine especially after having seen her do bits and pieces of Christine in Prince of Broadway. I'm hoping to go back soon and catch Ben and John Riddle as I would like to see both of them.

I'd say you've got a pretty good chance of seeing him at a Saturday matinee, but you might want to just ask him about your date on social media. He's quite friendly and accessible.

I'll be surprised if you don't hear back from him; I've asked him about dates via Twitter on more than one occasion when I was planning a trip.
