I think I recognize Hugh Panaro and Telly Leung in that photo but even then I can’t be certain. And the rest, I have no idea. Can anyone name anyone else in the photo?"

Definitely looks like Hugh Panaro and Telly Leung in the back, but most of the rest of them look like children.

Baby Byrne (who I can’t imagine isn’t going to Broadway with Cats, she was the best thing in it for me)

Me. I've never loved the show (though I thought the original Prince staging was a wonder). I think this sounds like it could be a fun night. And $200? I did an actual titty-shake dance when I got Ragtime tickets for $198 which I thought was such a bargain. So bring it on.

Hugh Panaro and Eryn LeCroy appear to be the only Phantom Broadway alumni, which is interesting, because I know of a few from the final (April 2023) company who auditioned and were not selected.

My first thought was that Hugh would be the Phantom, but then I was thinking that Eryn has likely aged out of Christine at this point and perhaps will be playing Giry, so now I'm wondering if Hugh might actually be one of the managers (he's now 61).

Playbill confirms Diane Paulus is directing but reveals no other creatives.

Well, my low key excitement turned into real excitement. This isn’t amateur hour but the real deal!!

I don't know why anyone would doubt that ALW would put on a good show. I've even seen the non-replica productions of POTO and they were awesome.

Well I just sat through one of the worst productions of JCS in Melbourne Australia, I was yelled at, screeched, by a cast that forgot lyrics are good when you sing them separately. Not one single word without a breath. Yes this was a professional production. So Webber does allow crap to be produce.

Paulis and Phantom!?!?

Talk about a mismatch

Instead of a chandelier falling she'll have 3 different casts in four different rooms looking for a light switch!
