"All in all, not all that bad - being born I mean. Because I could hear music, and I heard Christine."

Did a little Cherik Christine color study. I’ve never really done art from this version, but i rewatched it recently and there is some really pretty natural light. Included my progress video.

Hi, I just found out someone is selling a whole bunch of YK Phantom playbills on Ebay. Where'd they even get them? Who knows!

(not all of them are this expensive.)

What an amazing finding! Truly remarkable, there are TONS of gems scattered all over.

Kristin Chenoweth is a very well recorded Christine - that as per the y/k standard where half of all the productions are loss media - meaning I deeply cherish the grainy recording and the exactly 3 photos I have of her

But all of that is from her Massachusetts run in 1994, this is the first tangible proof I have to show that she took part of the German tour to date other than dead-end articles cited on Wikipedia, so that's big news for me

I believe the listing of the playbill to be slightly misdated as other sources say Kristin was part of the tour in 1995, not 1994.

Another great gem is the mention of Ted Keegan pre-Alw's poto, if my previous assumption was correct; just months before being cast into production.

He was cast as part of the ensemble for what I believe was a very short stay, seeing I can't find any other sources linking him to the production apart from a throwaway sentence on his website.

I wonder how well know his participation in the show is in the phandom, performers being in both Y/K and ALW's phantoms are nothing new, but I personally don't recall ever hearing this fact

The last thing I want to talk about is this amazing photo of the original 1991 production, featuring what I'm fairly confident is Richard White and Patti Alison (who also reprised the role during the tour)

Thank you so much for sharing this with me <3

I will link the eBay listing to anyone who may be curious

We as a phandom give Charles Dance the appropriate love but I feel like we need to give Richard White more love for how good he was in the Yeston and Kopit stage adaptation

Christine and Erik: Although the Takarazuka/Yeston and Kopit versions are lighter and healthier than ALW, it’s still fundamentally damaged. Erik does not deceive Christine here, but he is still mentally not well, mostly from the treatment he’s received from everyone except for his dead mother (yes he has a mother complex here). He is extremely overprotective of Christine, outright saying the outside world is a hell he must protect her from.

Lydia and Beetlejuice: For context, listen to the song Creepy Old Guy from the musical.

Oh my god, Erik

This anime is real in another dimension. If you had the control what ending would you give it?

[bigtittypastabitch]

Okay really weird request but does anybody have a gif of Cherik punching a deer in the mini series? Anybody?

[asakuramimimi]

Please don't hurt me
