So I just saw poto in trieste and guys get ready for a strongly worded post about how AMAZING THAT WAS. HOW WERE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION??? I won’t go into detail yet but it was leagues above both the broadway and west end productions I ve seen.
Wish the Italian production also announced their understudies like the Spanish one.
So do I, but it’s possible they felt that understudies did not need to officially be announced since each run is 2 weeks at a time and maybe they feel it is unlikely they will need them. Similar to how they have not cast any swings.
Some of the cast has announced themselves that they are understudies with 2 people covering the male roles between themselves.
We are just waiting on people to announce they are Carlotta, Madame Giry & Meg understudies, although I feel I could guess them based on the cast.
The ones we know are:
Antonio Orler - cover Phantom, Raoul & André
Margherita Toso - cover Christine
Matt Bond - cover Firmin & Piangi
As soon as other understudies are confirmed I will be updating on the cast list although this cast is only confirmed for Trieste.
There will be some changes for Milan & Monte-Carlo since some cast have other commitments.
Just a little snippet of Phantom Italy because I spent like 10 minutes listening to this over and over again after I came back from the show. I love you guys so I thought I’d share for the other simps out there. (I sadly didn’t record the full show but I did record final lair which is how I was able to preserve this absolute gem)
