#0Question about a new Phantom understudy?
Posted: 8/7/06 at 6:29pmHi, today I ran into a friend that said she saw phantom a week or 2 ago and there was an understudy for the phantom. She said the guy was currently a student at Hunter College, and that he was like 20. I looked at playbill.com but couldn't find anything. She also said he normally plays the jeweler. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me a link w/his bio or something. I am so curious. I have never heard of a 20 year old phantom! Thanks

Posted: 8/7/06 at 6:50pmI know, it doesn't sound right to me. I looked online and found the guy that currently plays the jeweler. But he is not 20 (he was marius in les miz in 1997) and I didn't find anything about him currently being at Hunter College.

Posted: 8/7/06 at 6:57pmThat would be Peter Lockyer. He plays the Jeweler and understudies the Phantom. However, he goes to NYU, not Hunter. And while he looks very young, he's actually in his early 30s.

Are you thinking of Jason Mills, maybe?
Peter Lockyer was about 20 when he joined Miss Saigon -- in 1995.

He was also full-time at NYU when he was in Les Miz.

Posted: 8/8/06 at 2:08amIs James Romick still with the cast? He was the best Phantom I have ever seen.
