Did anybody here see the late Martin Smith as The Phantom in the West End, 1989? He was there October 2, 1989-December 9, 1989. inmemoryofmartinsmith.weebly.comI’m the owner of this website. I'm sure many of you have seen me around by this point. I’ve been searching for a recording of Martin as The Phantom for 8 straight (very painful) years. I know tapes did exist in the past, but it was very long ago and it seems they’re lost to time. My hope is that someone in one of these large musical groups would have been around back then and would have something from years ago that never circulated. It’s very possible. I’ve already done tumblr and YouTube. I’ve contacted everybody I can from the 1989 London cast. I’ve spoken to ALW/RUG and Cammack’s archivists, Martin's estate, all nothing. I have to try every avenue possible. Please. Any help is appreciated as I’m growing very desperate. I can't waste anymore of my life on this. Somebody please just help me.

That website appears to have gone. I saw Martin on 9th October 1989. As you can gather I share a birthday with the show and went to see it as my birthday treat. I had met Martin on a few previous occasions as we had a mutual friend and when Martin heard I was coming he kindly invited me to join him in his dressing room after the show. As you are no doubt well aware removing the makeup was rather time consuming. Andrew Lloyd Webber had sent the cast champagne to celebrate the show's birthday and Martin had a bottle to himself. Obviously I offered to assist him with this. I'm not aware of any recordings made at the time but I'm certain they will exist.
