Why did they give Joe a wig though? Is that normal for Phantom?
Most Raouls wear their own hair, unless their hair is not long enough for the standard-ish "swoopy romantic side part" Raoul style. So that means that even though the design and Steve Barton had straight-ish blond hair, there have been ginger/auburn, dark haired, curly-haired, and even touch of grey haired Raouls. Because the majority of the time, they do wear their own hair, but maybe have fake sideburns, although some like Jordan Donica and Tomas Ambt Kofod grow their own. But some Raouls have been bald or balding or had greying hair or I think David Shannon had cornrows at one point 🙄, so the wigs department gave those actors a wig.
Joe Griffiths-Brown has a more modern undercut style of hair IRL right now, so that's probably why they gave him a wig.
But for completeness, there have been 6 black Raouls (Liam Tamne, Jordan Donica, Jemal Felix, Callum Francis, Lewis Francis and now Joe Griffiths-Brown) and about half of them have worn wigs.
AFAIK Liam Tamne (London 2014-2015) wore his own hair but I would have to go really digging through his Instagram/Twitter to find pictures of him in his "civilian life" besides that tiny blurry one from almost a decade ago.
Jordan Donica didn't wear a wig for either his 2016 run (left) or his 2022 run (center and right). Which led to him becoming the first replica Raoul with a ponytail.
Jemal Felix wore a wig as an understudy from 2021-2022 (first pic was from a dress rehearsal)
And in the non replica Australian Sydney Harbor production, Callum Francis and Lewis Francis both wore wigs with a very dramatic side part. But when Lewis Francis continued as an understudy in the Australian restaged tour, he wore his own hair and not a wig.
and i'm not even covering the old raoul wigs that they all wear. i know jordan donica didn't have an old raoul wig that matched his natural texture in his first run, lewis francis did have in the restaged tour, and i've typed all i can about raoul wigs and all i can hear is this song

[Album] Teodor Wolgers veröffentlicht zweites Album "Dialogues"!
Der schwedische Pianist und Komponist Teodor Wolgers veröffentlicht sein neues Album "Dialogues" am 19. Mai digital über [PIAS] Nordic.
Die neuen Songs sind inspiriert von den Werken des belgischen Surrealisten René Magritte, die sich auch in den Titeln, dem Artwork und den Visuals des Fotografen Adam Falk wiederfinden. Jeder Track ist dabei auch ein Dialog und eine Zusammenarbeit mit einem anderen Act. Für sein zweites Album, das auf das Debüt "Distractions In A Capitalist World" folgt, lädt Wolgers einige der interessantesten Künstler*Innen der neoklassischen Welt ein, wie z.B. Niklas Paschburg ("Reconnaissance Without End"), Fejká oder Midori Hirano. Aber auch zu anderen Genres werden Brücken geschlagen, darunter Sara Parkman (Folk) und Bear Garden (Jazz), mit dem er die aktuelle Single “Song Of The Storm” einspielte.
Wolgers begann bereits mit 14 Jahren mit dem Studium des klassischen Klaviers. Acht Jahre später wurde sein Sinfonieorchesterstück "Dreams" in den Berwaldhallen in Stockholm aufgeführt – und Teodor mit 22 der jüngste Student der Königlichen Musikakademie, dem dies jemals gelang. Im Jahr 2021 veröffentlichte der junge Schwede sein Debütalbum, ein höchst ambitioniertes Konzeptalbum, das die Strukturen des modernen Kapitalismus und die menschliche Verfassung in Frage stellt, gefolgt von der EP "Our True Nature" in 2022, eine Sammlung von Werken, die die Beziehung zwischen der Natur und dem Menschen erforscht.
Tracklist "Dialogues":
01. Reconnaissance Without End ft. Niklas Paschburg
02. The Pleasure Principal ft. Midori Hirano
03. The Art of Conversation ft. Tom Ashbrook
04. Nocturne ft. Felix Rösch
05. Song of the Storm ft. Bear Garden
06. The Dominion of Light ft. Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres
07. The Human Condition ft. Fejká
08. The Flavour of Tears ft. Timo Krantz
09. A Taste for the Invisible ft. Sara Parkman
10. The Healer ft. Violeta Vicci
11. Angelus ft. Luchs
12. The Misanthropes ft. Abul Mogard

No don’t hurt him as he is equal as you
Doing for day 3 for @raoulstineweek for hurt/comfort
Day 3: Hurt/Comfort
Native American/First Nations Christine
ID:A series of sketches and the final piece of Christine of Indigenous American/Canadian descent stopping the Phantom from hanging Raoul and use words that she got from a vision
This Christine is special to me as I have to doing an indigenous (Native American/first nations) folks since a post on Instagram that talk how Thanksgiving is traumatic for her community,I also use their belief of equality to others and the strong matriarch spirit combine with my Christine to be timid with a firecracker feisty spirit that prove useful for final lair,In my doodles I develop this moment when Phantom set Raoul free and this girl with a renewed spirit stop him from inflicting more pain on her fiancé reforming that he is equal as Raoul,I decide to use the theme in the words I did from my doodle on my indigenous Christine and turn it to a complete piece here.I also use a real life indigenous people for her keeping in mind of the doll like appearance.I got some good response with her from the faces that I use for Christine. The near death experience Raoul in this one is the lovely Jemal Felix who is the first black actor play Raoul in the west end despite being an understudy
