Video: Sierra Boggess Shares Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sarah Brightman PHANTOM Demo Tape
Boggess, a former Christine who is now playing Carlotta in The Phantom of the Opera, found the tape in her dressing room.

Sierra Boggess, who is currently playing Carlotta in the 40th anniversary cast of The Phantom of the Opera in London's West End, recently shared on Instagram that she found a cassette tape in her dressing room that was marked "Andrew's Phantom demo." In a cheeky video, she asked "What would Carlotta do?" as she debated whether to play the tape or put it back where she found it.
Two days later, she posted a follow-up video, alongside Beatrice Penny-Touré who is playing Christine, where she played the tape. The tape featured the voices of composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, as well as the show's original star, Sarah Brightman, who was learning the show's title song for the first time. An emotional Sierra and Beatrice listened along, clutching each other as they unveiled this little piece of Phantom history.
