Original Production vs. Re-opened Production
A non-exhaustive list of differences between the original production of ALW’s The Phantom of the Opera (pre-COVID shut-down) and it’s re-opening.
Left: Copenhagen revival, featuring Tomas Ambt Kofod, Sibylle Glosted, and Christian Lund, 2019.
Right: Re-opened London and Broadway productions, featuring Killian Donnelly / Ben Crawford, Lucy St Louis / Holly-Anne Hull / Anouk van Laake / Meghan Picerno / Emilie Kouatchou / Julia Udine, and Rhys Whitfield / John Riddle, 2021-2022.
Explanations:
Different hairstyles for the ballerinas during Hannibal.
Christine hugs Meg at the beginning of ‘Angel of Music’.
Use of doubles in the title song has been eliminated, we now see Raoul running past ballerinas during the transition.
Slightly altered ‘Music of the Night’ blocking.
The Mirror Bride is now a silvery color.
Slightly altered Il Muto blocking.
(London only) No Golden Angel, a Pegasus statue is used instead.
Slightly different ‘Masquerade’ choreography
Altered ‘Point of No Return’ blocking
(To the end) (Only for some Christines) Different hairstyles for Christine

So the Danish dub of Scrooge has Tomas Ambt Kofod as Scrooge.
Me: he's...a REALLY good singer. He has to sing for a living. Not all of Scrooge's voice actors sing (why would you cast them in a musical, but hey, whatevs), but THIS ONE does. He has to. He sings too suspiciously well.
YEAH, HE SURE DOES. HE'S THE DANISH "PHANTOM".
EDIT: So I found a Copenhagen 2018 production, and...yeah, he's really good. ANOTHER EDIT: Go to 12:27 (13:00 is when it's like 'okay, you have to be a professional, that's too smooth'.)

Things I find amusing; the Scandinavians wildly differing on which ages should get to see the 25th anniversary DVD of phantom of the opera
Tumblr media
[Image description: a photo of the back of a DVD case. At the bottom the age restrictions for the different countries says in order from left to right
Sverige -Barntillåten (sweden -allowed for children)
Danmark- tilladt for börn over 15 år (denmark- allowed for children over 15 years old)
Norge- aldersgrense 11 år (norway- allowed for children past 11 years old)]
Since the countries are so uneven i come to you tumblr for guidence:

10 Underrated Christine’s!
Was asked by an anon to do this and I absolutely love the idea! Figured I would give it its own post. I also made a companion podcast episode about this topic, which you can listen to here. 
Also put links to some audio/video of them, so those who haven’t heard of them can have a listen! There are definitely other clips of all of these Christine’s online, and on Tumblr some gifted audios. And of course, all of these Christine’s I have a recording of, so I am always open to trade for them.
There are so many I think are underrated, so this was a hard list. But here 10 I will put up for now (in no particular order).
1. Charlotte Page (London 1999-2000):
I wish she had stayed with the show longer. Stunning all around. Lush, full, operatic voice. Some great acting chops, with some little touches in there. She vocally was different from the Christine’s they had at that time, in the best way. While we only have 2 audios of her, we do also have a full video. Praise.
Here is her Wishing.
Tumblr media
2. Sarah Pfisterer (US Tour 1991-95, Broadway 1999-2001):
Was Christine for quite some time, and yet there are no videos of her. Maybe 3 audios, and a handful of photos. i hear she was pregnant a few times, so her being out on leave might explain why. But has such a gorgeous, porcelain look. Beautiful voice, with a perfect balance of vibrato and operatic sound. I sometimes call her the Charlotte Page of Broadway because 1) they were in the show at the same time and 2) I think they had similar voices in terms of that bigger operatic quality. I always liked her vocally and look-wise, but I sat down a few months ago and really listened to her, and she has become such a favorite of mine.
Here is her Wishing, and here is the only video we have of her actually singing in the role.
Tumblr media
3. Corinne Cowling (London 2019-2020):
Had a lot of shows as the understudy since the principal and alternate were out or doing too many shows. I would love to see her get a principal run, as it seems do a lot of other phans. Pull a real-life Christine. She reminds me a lot of Holly Anne Hull; this really strong voice full of emotion. She really proved that not only was she able to step into the role when needed, but that she could do it well. Her sister Morgan was Meg in the Restaged US Tour, and I dream of a world where they play Christine and Meg together.
Here is her Wishing, though I definitely recommend getting a full audio. It is well worth it.
Tumblr media
4. Jan Hartley Morris (London 1988-89):
Another Christine I wish would have stayed with the show longer. But we do have a video of her, albeit being not of amazing quality. Looks so lovely in the part, and has an absolutely gorgeous voice. Full, lush, reminded me a tad of Amy Manford in how she seemed able to just twist each word out just the way she wanted to. Total control. 
Here is her Think of Me and Angel of Music.
Tumblr media
5. Adrienne McEwan (US tour 1993-94 + 1996, Broadway 1998-2003):
Was in the show for some 9 years, including being the alternate for the 10th anniversary on Broadway. Had such a beautiful and unique voice, and not a ton of vibrato like some of the US Christine’s at this time had. So pretty in wig and costume. There are a few videos of her, and a decent amount of audio. And yet, we don't talk about her nearly enough.
Here is her Wishing.
Tumblr media
6. Maria Listra (Estonia 2015-16, 2020):
A non-replica Christine! She just looks so lovely in the part and sounds gorgeous. There is a video of her in ‘All I Ask of You’, and she is wonderful in it. I would love to see her do the original version someday. A hidden gem.
Here is her Think of Me, but I would definitely watch the ‘All I Ask of You’ of her on YouTube in the part. She’s so good and the Estonian Raoul and Christine are adorable.
Tumblr media
7. Astrid Giske (Oslo 2018-19):
Another non-replica Christine! And a blonde one too! The Oslo production remains a favorite in my book, and Astrid is one of the main reasons. She had a real-life Christine moment, being the understudy Christine, but having to take over for Mira Ormala, who had to depart the production early on due to health reasons. Astrid got a bunch of pictures, and a feature on a Broadway site, and did every show afterward until the production. Besides the very last show; Astrid herself got sick and could not go on. Looked so lovely in the part, and has such a strong and angelic voice. I wish someone would put her in another production.
There are quite a few videos on YouTube of her which you should all watch (including the pro-shot clips from the production), but I put her “soar” here because I just adore it.
Tumblr media
8. Julie Goodwin (World Tour 2007-09):
One of the youngest Christine’s; I think she was only 19 when she did the part. Absolutely stunning voice; reminds me a lot of Claire Lyon. That full operatic glory. From pictures and one video we have of her, she seems to have been pretty nice acting-wise. Looks really pretty as well.
Here is her Wishing.
Tumblr media
9. Elisabeth Berg (Stockholm 1989-91):
For a Christine who was the principal in the first ever Swedish production, and is featured on said cast recording, she is really not talked about at all. I figure it’s mostly due to her being in Sweden and not in one of the flagships in the pre-Internet days. But still, a Christine on a cast recording I would think would have a bit more notoriety. Anyway, absolutely stunning voice. Like, beyond amazing. I would listen to her sing the alphabet. Such control, so much emotion, I adore her. When they invent the time machine I am going back to see her.
Here is the Swedish soundtrack.
Tumblr media
10. Isabel Schwartzbach (Copenhagen 2018-19):
I love how clear and light her voice is. To me, she is the perfect ‘modern’ Christine. Meaning she has that lighter, almost pop sound to her voice, but without the squeaky-ness that we sometimes get. I really wish she would have gotten some promo shots or something. But she looks really pretty in the role, and from what I have heard she was quite good overall. 
Here is her Wishing.
Tumblr media
There you have it! I could add at least 50 more to this list, so don’t think that these are the only ones I think could use more love. But this is a nice way to experience other Christine’s with varying kinds of voices in different languages. Especially for newer phans, who have probably only heard Sarah, Sierra, Emmy, and/or their first live Christine.
Again, if you would like more clips of any of these Christine’s or some more actresses to have a listen to, feel free to message me!

Could anyone direct me towards the rest of the blurry clips of Isabel Schwartzbach on YouTube? I have only managed to find the Think of Me & Angel of Music clip. I’m in love with her voice and would really love to see more of her. Much thanks!
