This one just cracks me up

Thank you soooo much!!! I am happy!

Does anyone have a picture of Rebecca Caine in STYDI? I think it was with Michael Crawford, but I could be wrong. If it helps, she kinda looks like a Muppet in the shot. I used to have it, but I think it might have gotten deleted when I transferred everything over from my old computer.

Someone asked for Meredith Braun pictures - that is, others than the four in her site. Those four are the only ones I've ever seen. And it's not bad, considering she was "only" an alternate. Or did she ever become principal?

Viscountess, I have that STYDI picture with Rebecca Caine and Michael Crawford. It's from Markus Tylor's "First year backstage" book. But I would have to scan it anew.

In the mean time, here is lovely Sandra Joseph in the lovely Elissa costume. Admittedly two photos photoshopped together, to get a full view of the skirt. But both pictures showed Sandra Joseph to begin with. It's not like I'm Denwynters!

1. Lucy Middleton and Deborah Dutcher, West End.
2. ...Heidi Ann O'Brien (?) and Rachel Barrell, West End.
3. Annabel Knight and Anne Görner, Essen. Wish I had a better picture, I love this one.



4. ...Lucy Potter (?) and Lisa Hull, UK tour. One of the few dark haired Megs in Europe.
5. Martina Langas and Elisabeth Berg, Stockholm. Thanks to phantomlove for this picture!



6. Daisy Maywood and Sierra Boggess, Royal Albert Hall. I love this screencap.
7. Anna Grönros and Susanne Elmark, Copenhagen. Another favourite.

Susanne Elmark (7) is actually wearing the same skirt as Elisabeth Berg (5). Or rather, the same basis. Susanne Elmark was a lot taller than the others, and when the sewing workshop in Denmark got the costume from Sweden they did a bit of frankensteining. They shortened the red skirt, lifting the dark pattern higher up, and added a pleated hem to enlong it. The tabs are the same, though they were covered with glittering gems. A new apron and faux bodice was made, while the backdrapes were kept.

does somebody have any pics of roy weissensteiner as raoul? i remember seeing one with a german christine (i believe kristin hölck, in her masquerade dress), but can´t find it anywhere.

Sadly not, but I am searching for Phantom pics from him. I saw him in Essen. He was so great!

I don't think I've seen that picture, but here's one with Christine in the rooftop dress. I believe the Christine is Sandra Danyella, but I might be very wrong. It's from Essen, anyway.

You are right, it´s Sandra Danyella, but she wasn´t a good Christine.

She was principal for a few months before she was alternate. At the cast change where Mike Sterling took over as the phantom Meredith joined as Christine and Jill Washington who had been principal became the alternate. Then around four or five months later Charlotte Page joined as principal and Meredith became alternate.

Aaaaah Denwynters, don't ever stop photoshopping. Phan life is so much more fun with it.

There's nothing wrong with Photoshopping. They just do it excessively and poorly. Lighting has to match up. They don't even attempt to do it in the photo shoots or in touch-ups. They just slap one photo on another. I haven't seen these in print, but they have to look almost as awful as they do online.

but it is a very nice background in the boat pic, even that is a mosh pit of photoshopped candles and smoke.

Oh, I agree, it's very pretty. I'm currently using the pic of Sofia and JOJ as my desktop wallpaper.

BRILLIANT! I haven't seen this one before and I love it!

.... Does anyone know if Hugh Panaro has taken pictures in costume with Soot? Because that would be awesome beyond words.

Hahaha, I totally love it too. It was in connection with the 10,000 performance on Broadway. Former cast members were asked how their time in the show was, and Howard McGillin mentioned how his dog often accompanied him at work. Hence the photo. I think it was first published by the official Broadway FB site, but don't quote me on it. As for similar ones of Panaro, I have a faint memory of them posting a costume one with him and his dog. But the only one I could find was this one:

Ooh, my favourite scene! Thanks, operafantomet.

While we're on the subject, can anyone identify the Phantoms and Christines in these boat pictures?

I'll take the Christines... Haha. Here: Trista Moldovan, but I can't tell if it's from the tour or Broadway. Tim Martin Gleason, possibly?

Charlotte Paige for sure, but the Phantom.... Scott Davies? West End ca. 2000.

Sara Jean Ford and...?

Hanne Damm and Peter Jorde, Copenhagen ca. 2001. I posted a closeup above.

Danielle Everett (the only one to challenge the Vegas Christines on the amount of makeup applied!) and probably Rob Guest, from the original Australian tour ca. 1996.


Glad you enjoyed the boat pictures. It's one of my favourite scenes as well. And almost all productions has good boat pictures published. Surprisingly few from Vegas, though. Especially since they have a cool extended set. Anyone who has some to share?

I love this iconic pose, and I think every Carlotta out there gets a kick of opening the show this way!



1. Helen Noonan, original Australian tour.
2. Christa Leahmann, original Australian tour.
3. Pauline du Plessis, South Africa 2011.
4. Pauline du Plessis, South Africa 2004.
5. Kim Stengel, Toronto.



6. Judie Schmidt, Broadway (anyone has a bigger version of this?).
7. Geena Jeffries Mattox, Las Vegas.
8. Elena Batman, Las Vegas.
9. Anne Runolfsson, Broadway.



10. Leigh Munro, Basel.
11. Priti Coles, Vienna.
12. Vera Borisova, Copenhagen.
13. Eva Malmgren, Copenhagen.
14. Angela M. Caesar, UK tour.
15. Judith Gardner Jones, West End.



16. Rosie Ashe, original West End production.
17. Ditto. Are there bigger ones of this one out there?
18. Vera Borisova, Hamburg.
19. Sayoko Kanai, Japan.
20. Anette Stridh, Stockholm.

I'm looking for "Music of the night" pictures of the following couples:

Hugh Panaro and Marni Raab
Ian Jon Bourg and Anne Görner
John Owen Jones and Nicky Adams

Not claiming these exist, just wondered if anyone had any?

1.) John Cudia and Trista Moldovan
2.) I think Anea has this right (Davies and Page)
3.) Yeah, Sara Jean Ford, but it's hard to tell who the Phantom is. I think Jason Mills.
4.) I love that pic. Never seen it before.
5.) Yeah, Everett and definitely Guest.
