I wish! I have tickets for late May and mid-July and am hoping that Mr. Crawford can dispel the memory of James Barbour for me. Can't wait to hear reports.

Not gonna lie Lot666... I went back to circa 1988 in my head and for a second thought the "Mr. Crawford" you are referring to was Michael...LOL

Go Jay! I guess I’ll have to make a visit to Phantom. I haven’t been in years.

It's normally the alternate on Weds evening and Saturday matinees, but that's always subject to schedule changes.

Jay joining as Raoul has left me slightly slack-jawed, but go Jay! In less then a decade in New York, he’s become known as one of the hardest workers around and he’s earned it. He always is working and surprising people with his work.

Great to see three new-to-Phantom names in the three lead roles (and all super talented)!

I think if a new Christine were to join the cast that it would have been announced. Ali is still on the website, and Ben Crawford has been added.

I have tickets for next week! Very excited to see him- I’m trying to go in with basically a blank slate. I think I did see him in Charlie, but I blocked most of that show from my memory.
