Will Phantom Tour Land on Broadway? — Page 2

I believe the entire Broadway set was preserved and moved to a storage facility in upstate New York. I definitely remember seeing a photo of the chandelier hanging from a steel beam."

I recall seeing that photo as well, but I remember the accompanying text as saying that it went to a warehouse in Jersey. Either way, I guess we don't really know where any of it might be by now.

Caught the Phantom tour again Thursday night in San Jose after seeing it in San Francisco, and what a difference a strong Phantom makes.

David Young Fernandez was on for Isaiah Bailey, whose performance I really didn't enjoy in SF, and Fernandez was honestly one of the best Phantoms I've ever seen. Easily on par with my personal fav, Hugh Panaro. Vocally effortless, phenomenal acting, and he completely elevated the entire production. If this transfers to Broadway, I REALLY hope the producers consider him for the role.

Jordan Lee Gilbert has only gotten better as Christine and is probably the best actress I've seen in the role. Midori Marsh continues to be the standout as Carlotta. Just magnificent, and honestly Tony-worthy if this were on Broadway.

The production itself also looked and sounded fantastic. The sound design in San Jose was pristine, every word was clear, and the orchestra sounded incredible.

I've seen Phantom on Broadway, in London, on the original tour, and now twice with this production. Despite the scaled-back staging, Thursday was easily one of the best experiences I've had seeing the show. It really reinforced how much having the right Phantom can make or break this production. If you get the chance to see Fernandez, don't miss him.
