Could we get a compilation of times Jeremy Stolle heard “slut” when the director called “cut”? 👀
(ask is referencing this post)
yes! in my research i found myself only able to focus on this one specific show towards the end of the broadway run, amazingly captured by @angelofmusicishere. and you can see why
like. come on. the flourish when he grabs the hat? the unwavering eye contact? the cape flip????????
slutcullis sprawl. (also him lingering after,,,,,,,)
dude is getting his shit ROCKED
and then he's just annoying! (slut)
and as a bonus, i have to include that time he went feral when half the set pieces stopped working during the first lair
It's been almost a year since Phantom closed on Broadway, and I miss these folks.

Jeremy Stolle | Julia Udine | Elizabeth Welch
Please write an essay using 12.5 font, Times New Roman, FMLA, Chicago style, at least three references, and no more than 3000 words, exactly why Jeremy Stolle is a daddy, and why he should play the Phantom for the inevitable revival.
Jeremy Stolle is, in fact, a daddy. Perhaps to some who have never seen his performance as the Phantom, whether through a bootleg or, for the truly blessed, live, this may be an unfamiliar concept, but when one examines the evidence, this can be seen, plain and simple, even to the inexperienced.
For one, the man carries himself with an air of confidence and sensuality that makes him very deserving of this title. One perfect example was his improvisation on the night of March 20, 2023, when, despite the malfunction of the lair set, resulting in the lack of a portcullis, his Phantom still managed to be as enticing and sexy as ever. This malfunction even resulted in an impromptu hand on Christine’s waist, a move that we would not normally see with the portcullis working as intended. See Exhibit A.
Another key contribution to this title that he holds is the Strolle ™. This is a critical factor, for without the Strolle ™, there is no Stolle. He cannot truly be dubbed “Daddy” without the involvement of the Strolle ™. The intense eye contact, the strut, the way this puts on full display the Stolle Leg ™. See Exhibit B:
Thirdly, we have the back arch during Point of No Return. This is something that the man has mastered and is truly a prime example for other Phantoms following in his footsteps. This movement carries its own essence of sexiness, but also complete weakness and the evidence of being entirely at Christine’s mercy in this moment, and though perhaps not in the traditional way, truly emphasizes Stolle’s daddy essence. See Exhibit C:
All three of these factors, as well as many, many others, all make it clear as day that Jeremy Stolle is, obviously, Daddy. That said, he would be the perfect choice to open the revival of Phantom on Broadway, as he would set the standard for all the actors to follow in his footsteps, ready to imitate his example in channelling the Daddy energy that any good Phantom actor needs to put himself on the fandom map.
Elizabeth Welch (Princess, Christine u/s) and Jeremy Stolle (Passarino, Phantom u/s) are two of the Broadway ensemble members that have been such a joy to follow on social media. With the show closing, I felt compelled to create a piece for them as thanks - incorporating bits of their real lives to personalize it (in this case, Jeremy playing his ukulele as he did in many backstage videos, and several Prince references in Elizabeth’s costume since we are both huge fans of his)
