Turns out that Jordan Donica was cast as the Phantom in London last year! He decided to stay to film for The Gilded Age, and also ended up having a run in Sunset Boulevard.

Trista Moldovan is also one of my favorite Hugh pairings after Sandra Joseph.

Whor--I mean Hugh!--Panaro and Trista Moldovan (2012).
This man should be arrested for how he sang "and listen to" and "open up your mind" this performance.

Will I ever see Jordan Donica play Erik?

I have a half-baked theory that Erik knew on some subconscious level he was dying in the novel longer than we're led to think. That may be partly why he latched onto the idea of Christine so fervently as his last chance at happiness. It could also be why he was so willing to blow up himself and Paris into smithereens; a kind of "fuck it, I'm dying anyway" move.
Even his waxing poetic about wanting to live like a normal man with a wife he could take out on Sundays could be just that, a want, not something he thought he could actually achieve. Yet because he's so far gone in his insanity -- perhaps fueled by his fatal illness -- that reality doesn't matter anymore, and he just wants Christine with him at the very end of his life.
I don't know. Like I said, this is a half-baked theory. I could easily be convinced otherwise.

Saturday, July 26, 2025 • 9 p.m. EST: Hugh Panaro, Sandra Joseph & Tim Martin Gleason (Broadway 2005)
In honor of Masquerade NYC opening July 31, I thought we'd pay tribute to a legend with his final performance as Phantom (during his first run) in 2005. A CLASSIC. Features a speech from Sandra Joseph at the end.
As always, the stream will be on cy.tube and shy anons are welcome. For more info, please see the Saturday Streams FAQ! Link and password will be posted here at 8:45.

My brain just short circuited.
This is also how I know Hugh was LYING when he suggested he had to dig deep to find the Phantom's sexiness.
Okay so Hugh Panaro did a full scene from Phantom at a concert and the way they blocked MOTN is the better fantasy for Erik and Christine than LND. And the way he TEASES the actress with a kiss in character is PEAK

Just thinking about how Jon Robyns has very expressive head and neck movements in addition to hands. 🥴😅

Yeah, these ILYs really did me in. I blame them for everything. Especially that last one.
I need to give Norm Lewis much more credit than I do for pulling me headlong into the phandom.
Because I got obsessed with his cover of Bring Him Home from Les Mis in February, and then the algorithm was like "you should watch him in POTO too" and I said "*gasp* Wait, you mean to tell me there are bootlegs of Phantom?!" and then the algorithm replied, "Yes, so while you're watching Norm you should just go ahead and watch everybody in the history of the show!" And months later, here we are.
And now I almost never talk about Norm's Phantom (or Ted Keegan's really, which was the first I saw live?!?) because I've grown to love other interps more. But Norm still delivered one of my favorite set of repeated "I love you's" in the final lair.
So thanks, Norm lol.
