A Temporary Replacement Phantom is joining for about 2 Months as the New Phantom is Unavailable due To Scheduling conflicts. In Addition also a New Alternate Christine will be joining. New alternate Christine is coming off another CML production, I believe Les Mis tour has just finished…..Lauren Drew? She would be good. |

New alternate Christine is coming off another CML production, I believe Does this mean Holly Anne Hull is taking over as Christine or leaving the show? Hopefully the former! If she were leaving too (in addition to Lucy) they'd presumably need two new Christines coming onboard, wouldn't they? To keep it at four people who can do the part? Lauren Drew is a good shout - it would be stretching the semantics of "new" slightly but I'd still love to see Beatrice Penny-Touré return, fresh from the Poppins closure. This is largely selfish as I missed her last year! edit: sorry, thistimetomorrow, I just missed your reply before I sent this! Off to stalk the Les Mis tour cast page ... Paige Blankson? |

Is there one alternate Christine and the others are understudies? If so, and if a new alternate Christine is joining the company, hopefully that does indeed mean that Holly is taking over from Lucy. I guess something will need to be announced in the next week with Lucy leaving on Saturday. |

My understanding is that at the moment it runs principal (Lucy), alternate (Holly - who has weekly scheduled shows, and is first in line to cover when Lucy is off), understudy/1st cover (Anouk van Laake - covers for both Lucy and Holly when necessary, but doesn't have regular scheduled shows), understudy/2nd cover (Eva Shanu-Wilson, who I don't think has been on for Christine yet since joining last August). So if it's *just* one additional Christine joining, and as an alternate rather than the principal, that would suggest you're right.

Called it with Jon, it did make me wonder!!! So pleased for Holly! (You never know with Killian he keeps going back into old Roles.. So im guessing does that mean Commitments (even though Ian currently Deco you just never know), or Come from away when it tours)

I booked to see this in the Priceless discount offer - - - for 7th Feb. Can't quite figure out who I get as Phantom but peeved I'll miss Killian's last night. I do love me a last night ...

Barring last minute changes, you'll get James Gant who is covering for the week between Killian leaving and Earl starting. edit: you'll get Anouk as Christine, too, who's on the Tuesdays-and-Fridays alternate schedule between January 23rd and February 13th. |

Thanks! Am annoyed with myself that I didn't go a week earlier or a week later - must polish up that crystal ball . |

Oooh! Earl Carpenter will be popular! He might tempt me to finally give the amended production a go. I'd want to know first what the Christine schedule will be though. The lead Christine does usually do mid-week matinees, doesn't she? |

And the Les Miz to Phantom carousel continues. Just recycle one show to the other. Never break the cycle. Very imaginative.

I saw her as Cosette on the Les Mis tour in October, I can only assume I caught her on a bad day as she barely sang a note in tune Does anyone know much about Paige Blankson? |

Alternate Christine performances are Tuesdays and Fridays. Thanks. Hope that won't change with the next cast. Now I just have to work out where what used to be my preferred behind-pillar seat is since the seating plan has been changed.... |

Holly Anne Hull posted the alternate schedule on her Instagram stories yesterday so it definitely applies to the new cast. 😃 |
