Призрак в опере)))
Austin, Texas
These happened during the run in Austin, Tx. I don't think there was a perfect night when the show was here..
One night, Mme Giry missed her lines in Hannibal about Christine Daae being late, and she made something up.
Gary Mauer was new to the role of the Phantom, and usually missed bits and pieces here and there. One night during the final lair, Christine had just kissed him, he moves to the throne, and all of a sudden had a deer in the headlights look (I was sitting about 4 rows back and could see his face) He forgot what he was supposed to say--the line was about the Angel in Hell, and he made something up) Took all my energy not to laugh...becuase I'm sure he would have seen me.
Opening night there was trouble with the Chandelier. They held Act II for 30 minutes instead of the usual 15 minute intermission. They had to crank the Chandelier up by hand. And since this was the first night I had ever sat *underneath it* I was quite worried it may come down again...this time on me
Lots of mic problems, static, almost every performance.
Tim Martin Gleason, one night, as he took over the Phantom had two mistakes that made be hysterically giggle. First, during PONR, he forgets to wear the ring to give to Christine, so he gives it to her in the Final Lair, then he almost doesn't make it to the back of the throne in time when Meg whips off the cloak. He didn't cover himself very well, so I could see his hand trying to flip the switch to get him back in the throne in time. When Meg finally pulled the cloak off, you could see that someone was trying to fix the back of the throne to make it look like no one was hidden back there. (Sultana of Persia)
