Coming to see Phantom over a weekend and wondered if he does all 3 shows? Thanks.

I went to the Saturday matinee yesterday and he was out. I haven’t seen any info about his schedule, but maybe avoid the matinee just in case!

Are the Phantoms still required to do only seven shows a week? I believe that was the case back in the day.

He doesn't have any scheduled absences. Based on Instagram posts he seems to have been out for the last few performances but I don't believe it was planned.

Thanks for all the replies. Wish they would post them like they do with the Christine alternates.

They don't post his schedule because, aside from illness or vacation, he is scheduled to appear in all performances. Unlike Christine, there is no alternate for the role of the Phantom.

I’ve only seen him once out of three attempts. Also tried to see Emilie Kouatchou at one of her scheduled performances and she was out as well.
