Par 1 of 2 of Phantom 40th anniversary post.

Hard to put into words how much this show means to be hard to think that in the span of a couple this show has become like a part of me, the cast over years feel like family and inspirations to me. For me specifically I can’t thank this show enough for helping me pick to go into this difficult industry of musical theatre, and as well I must thank this show for all the friends I have made thanks to it, I’ve met one of my best friends in @curtaincall_cosplay and friends with legends like @phantomonabudget and @journeytothelair , Happy 40th anniversary phantom thank you for everything and so much more. - O.G

It happened. We’re in love 🩵

It’s been five months since we lost Chip and throughout these months we’ve been exploring all of our options from adopting to finding a puppy with a good breeder. It’s not been as simple as we thought with having young children in our family (some very nervous) and being in the life stage of ttc we were told the timing was not currently right by our local dog shelters. It was also Barneys biggest wish to have a puppy and after the absolute heartache of telling him we were no longer pregnant and the news of Chips death this little puppy felt like the silver lining we all needed as a family ✨

We have been grieving, grieving a future we imagined with them here.

The path of miscarriage is one I know many have walked before me and in that I find both comfort and anger. If your heart has felt this unimaginable pain, I am deeply sorry.

I don’t feel I have the words to fully articulate the deep heartbreak we have felt over the last few months. I have done my best and filmed a very raw and honest video on our YouTube channel if you wish to hear the story.

Dear Carlotta,
you’ve been the most joyful, fulfilling role to play. Thank you for making a childhood dream come true; getting to dress like a queen, sing as though I were on the stage of an opera house, and perform alongside the most extraordinary group of artists. What an unforgettable ride it’s been.

Thank you,
@simonleeconductor @chrissiecartwrightlangham @malcolmfp @hugochiarella @sethsklarheyn @samh.ngt for helping me shape and discover my own version of this beautiful character.

To my wonderful Piangis, @the_dave_monster @bd_singhs @hyweldowsell @davidburilin whom I’ve had the privilege of working alongside.

To @cammackltd and @andrewlloydwebber thank you for giving me the opportunity to play one of my dream roles in my dream show.

To Evanna White, Thomas Schönberg and Matt Eastaugh, thank you for always making sure we were so well looked after.

To our stage management team, sound, music, wigs, hair and make-up, wardrobe, crew and technical departments, maintenance and cleaning teams, @becky.hyde.180 and everyone at Stage Door and Front of House, the entire cast & everyone involved backstage, especially @charl.vaughan and @amy.guillan who dressed me every night, thank you. I’m so grateful to each and every one of you.

To my family, friends and colleagues who made the effort to come and watch us, thank you. I appreciate you so much. And to the Phans of this incredible show, thank you for the beautiful curtain call photos, your unwavering support and for coming back time and time again. Your love and kind words have meant the world to us. I’ll miss seeing so many of your familiar faces.

Please let’s stay in touch. After seeing you all eight shows a week for the past two years, it’s hard to imagine not seeing you all again. I’ll miss every single one of you more than you know.

“Sing Prima Donna, once more!”

2025 • West End • A trip to London always requires seeing at least one show a day. Carl and I also had the pleasure of seeing @the_dave_monster perform in @phantomopera!

Our hearts are truly broken. You were the light of our lives. Our boy, our Chip✨

He went peacefully in our arms eating treats. Thank you to everyone for sending your love and support over the past few months, any tips on living through this pain please send our way, we have never felt heartbreak like it.

Happy World Theatre day
✨
I often think how lucky are we to be able to witness live theatre and what a blessing it is! To me nothing feels more exciting then sitting in a theatre with good company while you hear the orchestra tuning up and hearing the excited chatter of fellow audience members, the lights go down and the announcement is made to switch of your phones and to not record anything on stage and then for the next two and a half hours you are taken away to another world where your troubles somehow disappear and I think that’s pretty damn incredible
✨
I will always be grateful that my grandad took me to the theatre for the first time in 2011 which changed my life and now I’m so grateful that I have other family members and wonderful friends that I cam share such a beautiful love of the theatre with
✨
I won’t get into it too much, but phantom will always be the most special and important musical to me and some of my fondest memories and beautiful friendships have come from that show
✨
I may not be rich in a sense of money, but I am so deeply rich in the sense that I am alive in a time where live theatre is so celebrated and loved and that I can see all of these amazing shows with the people I love the most in the world

11 years on and it still has a special place in my heart. i remember my nan taking me when i was really young, it was her favourite musical. she passed down the love onto me. sadly she passed away in 2023, my favourite memory will always be us seeing phantom in london. i wish she could of seen the seen cast that star in it now and in early 2025.

every time i see it, im completely mesmerised by the performance, the acting is incredible! the passion and the energy they put into it is amazing. it’s crazy how i saw martin ball back in 2015! thank you nan for taking me, i’ll forever be grateful🕊️

i have to see this every time i’m in london, i feel so happy when i’m in the audience. 11 years of love for this musical that i’ll carry forever♥️
