Assignment: sluttiest phantoms and explain why 😊

In no particular order:

Hugh Panaro - The man is feral and so pelvis-forward. His permanent smirk only adds to it.

Franc D’Ambrosio - The way he moves, look at that man. See also his PONR for the noises he makes.

Greg Mills - He is so soft in real life, but gosh, he is slutty on stage. We don’t call him Greg Finger Lickin’ Mills for nothing.

Ben Crawford - I’m just going to put this fantastic video by @opera-ghost here as my explanation.

Jeremy Stolle - That man PROWLS when he moves.

Adam Robert Lewis - I’ve never even seen video of him, but his VOICE. That tells me all I need to know.

Howard McGillin - Look at all that leg, come on now

January 9, 2006: The Phantom of the Opera becomes the longest running show in Broadway history.

Coincidentally, the production also had its first preview on the same day in 1988.

(note: apart from the fan and the Red Death hat the depicted items and stage photos may not be identical, but they show similar styles. I have not found any photos of the listed tiara wearers in those tiaras and semi wonder if that info is correct. It sounds like odd-ball styles for Megs and Christines, even if it do happen they wear other styles)

Stephen Sondheim’s Follies  

The legendary 1985 concert performance of Stephen Sondheim's acclaimed musical Follies was presented by the New York Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center. 

The thrilling - and possibly historic - New York Philharmonic concert version of Follies presented at Avery Fisher Hall was a reunion of sorts, albeit one with a happier ending. To cast this all too transitory event, the producer Thomas Z. Shepard brought together veterans of Sondheim musicals stretching from the 1964 Anyone Can Whistle to Sunday in the Park With George - among them, Lee Remick, Elaine Stritch, George Hearn, Liz Callaway and Mandy Patinkin. They were joined by other stellar musical-comedy hands who exemplify the Broadway heyday whose passing Follies mourns - Barbara Cook, Carol Burnett, Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Once this company paraded before the orchestra to the glittering melody of the opening song, ''Beautiful Girls,'' it was impossible to separate the fictional show-biz reunion dramatized in Follies from the real one unfolding on stage. The audience, more than willing to let the distinction slide, simply erupted into pandemonium.

The cheering rarely subsided thereafter, and not without reason. Mr. Shepard assembled this evening to record the complete Follies score, which was mangled on its original Broadway cast album. Although there were still a few elisions (mainly of dance music) in the concert, this version was as complete, gorgeously sung and sumptuously played as Mr. Sondheim or his fans could wish. But there were other reasons for the thunderous response as well. Even in concert, Follies proved much more than merely a star-studded recording session. The performance made the case that this Broadway musical can take its place among our musical theater's very finest achievements. (Frank Rich, The New York Times)

what we need now more than ever is a philharmonic concert of classic broadway numbers performed by a group of like, classical soprano, sitcom star with a voice range of five tones, broadway / off-broadway performers known to absolutely nobody outside the fandom

#am i watching bea arthur leading june anderson debbie shapiro-gravitte jason graae and howard mcgillin in a rousing rendition #of 'conga' from wonderful town #with the boston symphony orchestra conducted by john williams #again? why yes. how did you know.

[valjeans]

i know im very much a west end phantom blog but this news is really upsetting. phantom broadway was my very first experience of the show, i saw it when i was 12 and honestly probably changed the trajectory of my life and made me the obsessed freak i am today!

#howard mcgillin my beloved

[nerdywriter36]

so I’m home from Phantom and will post notes and comments later, but for now, I have one thing to say.

I met THE Howard McGillin at stage door, and I have yet to recover.

#like HUH #he’s in Parade next door #and happened to come out #and i almost cried in front of him #poto #poto broadway #howard mcgillin

What I love about Howard McGillin's phantom is that when they join hands during Aminta's part in PONR, he yoinks her hands down to his chest
