Phantom of the Opera Cast: London

Wendy Ferguson
Carlotta (I loved her! She stole the show! She was this chubby, cute, Carlotta that's hilariously funny and annoying at the same time. Bravo!)





David Shannon
Raoul (Sondra and I both agreed: not cute enough for Raoul...)



Rachel Barrell
Christine (she was a'ight. She's kind of plain and doesn't have the smoldering beauty that Sarah Brightman has, nor was she the innocent-ingénue that Emmy Rossum portrayed. All could have been saved if she had a stellar voice, but her voice was a bit too nasaly for my taste)




Heidi O'Brien
Meg Giry (not a great singer, but she was very pretty)




Annette Yeo
Madame Giry (I liked her! Stern and very Bride of Frankinstein-ish)



Earl Carpenter
The Phantom (over-acted a bit. This phantom was more psychotic than charming, not to say that this interpretation has not its merits. This Phantom portrayed himself as utterly pitiful, which takes away some of the seduction that the Phantom is supposed to display. Good voice, but a bit too high pitched for my taste.)
