So when I couldn't get anyone to go see Phantom last night a gentleman at the Majestic box office gave me a sheet of paper for "Past Dated" tickets. That was very nice.
Anyway, since when James Barbour is only doing 4 shows a week? I was very surprised that he doesn't do any of weekend shows. Phantom has 3 others listed in Playbill.
Ali was on as Christine. Rachel does Wed and Sat matinees.
As of Phantom:
Paul Schaefer is Thurs nights
Jeremy Stolle is Fridays
Laird Mackintosh is Saturdays. So I guess he does 2 shows a week. And Jim Weitzer plays Monsieur Andre on Saturdays Also Carlotta is alternate on Saturdays too. Satomi Hofmann plays her
I don't think this is the case with having an alternate schedule for anyone other than Christine. Phantom likes to print extremely detailed playbills when people are out, and that may be why yours was so specific.

There is no alternate Phantom. You'll need to look at the @understudies tweets or keep an eye on Jeremy Stolle and Laird Mackintosh's tweets and instagram posts.

You can't go wrong with either of these gentlemen. I've seen both in the role and found them far superior to James Barbour. Their characterizations and vocal performances subscribe to the Michael Crawford school. And Mr. Stolle adds just a teaspoon more madness.
