Cape Twirl Comparison, Current West End Phantoms (2023-2024)

Jon Robyns-Principal (January 2024), definitely more of a cheeky fling than a twirl

James Gant-First Cover (July 2023), solid twirl. I've seen him both fling and twirl. When I saw him live in March, he was twirling. (Christine is Paige Blankson) (This is in the upcoming stream with @wheel-of-fish)

Michael Colbourne -Second Cover (February 2024), definitely a twirl. (Christine is Lily Kerhoas)

Connor Ewing-Third Cover, sadly we do not know, he's only been on once and no video has surfaced.

(the 1st/3rd are @or-what-you-will & @akatra master, the 2nd is @callmelasagna)

Wow wow wow

Chumisa Dornford freaking May

Stellar show, Chumisa was even better than the last time vocally sublime, less belting used than the last time as I imagine she’s more comfortable now! Her acting is some of the best I’ve seen. London is really doing well with their Christine’s recently!!!

My 14th time seeing James and he was amazing, so suave i love it!

Michael was on for Raoul so I saw Chumisa with a different Phantom and Raoul this time which was fun! I really like Michael very stern initially but then melts when he’s with Christine 🥺

Sitting front row is always special as you’re just a few feet away from the actors you can really analyse the performances!

Deciding whether to go back tomorrow but we shall see….🫣

I can’t remember having seen these online? Some scans from the October 2021 brochure in West End, featuring Lucy St Louis and Killian Donnelly.

#adore these shots #also I miss Lucy as Christine so much!

[phantomtrader19]

I think this may be James Gant and Chumisa’s first show as Phantom and Christine?

Chumisa has only got better!

Question on Chumisa's wig, do you know why they chose it to be very thin and stringy? Emilie got full curls towards the end of the Broadway run.

I’m probably not the best person to be asking, as Chumisa is a woman of colour I imagine there was a conversation in how comfortable she was with what wig style etc and they came up with what she has now. I suppose it could change and become a bit fuller a few shows in but it is beautiful! just a bit less hair than your average Christine wig

March 16, 2024 evening

Notes - Chumisa’s 3rd show after debuting the night before and then doing the 2 Saturday shows!

- audio is slightly quiet due to my scarf falling on top of my phone!

I’m not surprised Chumisa sounds like a feisty Christine. She was very feisty in Evita

Was brilliant to watch! Both her and Lily are so feisty in the final lair!
