Here's a reminder that this masterpiece exists.

[peek-a-beaks]

While watching the livestream of Love Never Dies, here are some key points I would like to share

1) my mom literally said “I would just let the Phantom ravish me” within the first like 10 minutes of it starting. she speaks so much truth.

2) I acknowledge it was a chaotic cluster garbage fire, but also I can see it being a cult classic.

3) I bet this was ALW Illuminati initiation (try to convince me otherwise, you can’t)

4) the set, SO COOL

5) the Phantom/Erik and Christine banged??? I’m not surprised but also I am

6) that child can SING

7) so Raoul just ended up being a butthole and bet his wife away. cool.

8) Meg and Mme Giry somehow smuggled their Maladjusted Basement Boy away to Coney Ilsand aka “Land of the Freaks” where he could live out his dreams??? okay

9) I wish there would have been a rendition of masquerade with all the Coney Islnd performers but Phantom/Erik is leading it and being like “SUCK IT BITCHES IM WEIRD AND I MAKE WEIRD STUFF”

10) I still have no idea what I just watched

Anna O’Byrne LND Insta Live

I learned a couple of things from Anna’s insta live during the LND Livestream:

She used to get vertigo which was tricky because they had a revolving stage.

There were no alternates, (except for the Gustaves) just understudies!

There were 5 Gustaves that they rotated through.

Ben Lewis (The Phantom) wrote all the Gustaves a letter before the show’s opening, encouraging them to believe in themselves and basically giving them a pre-show pep talk.

For safety reasons, the Gustaves were hooked onto the bridge at the end and before he runs away Christine has to unhook him without the audience noticing. 

Anna’s fastest quick change was estimated around 32 seconds.

Jack Lyall (Gustave) studies musical theater now with another of the Gustaves from the show!

“Dear Old Friend” was reworked almost everyday during rehearsals and was not finalized until opening night.

Her favorite costume is the olive colored dress she wears just before the intermission.

The Peacock dress was actually really light and not heavy like some dresses (looking at you wedding dress from Phantom) but the train needed some getting used to.

Paul Ettore Tabone (Squelch) is the current Piangi in Phantom in the West End.

Anna and Simon Gleeson (Raoul) used to prank each other during their run.

While filming “The Beauty Underneath,” because they were shooting continuously and how the angles had to be, Ben Lewis had to push all the pyramids out and around while singing.

Anna suggested that the music box should play by itself instead of Christine winding it herself. 

Ben Lewis wrote some of his lyrics into his mask because lyrics were constantly changing during rehearsals and previews. (There is a picture of his mask floating around here somewhere.)

Anna worked with Ben Lewis’s brother on the Australian tour of Phantom. She played Christine and he played Raoul!

She kept one of the newspapers that Mme. Giry has with a news story of Christine and her earrings from the show.

When asked if she knew if Sarah Brightman or Michael Crawford have seen the show, she said that ALW was sat next to Sarah during a production of it but got so emotional he had to leave (ew).

Anna’s favorite costume from Phantom is the Aminta dress.

When asked if she’s Team Raoul or Team Phantom, she says she’s Team Christine.
