Musical Ask: Phantom of the Opera
MY BABY! MY LOVE!!! 😭😍 (I'd insert a crying heart eyes emoji if I had it)
- Favorite song God there's so many to choose from 😩 But I'm gonna pick a few -- The Music Of The Night, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, Down Once More 😍
- Favorite character Raoul 👀 He may be an insolent boy and a slave of fashion -- but he never kidnapped Christine. I also love Madame Giry 🥰
- Favorite pairing Raoul and Christine 🥰
- Favorite costume Hannibal dress, Masquerade dress, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again dress, Erik's skeleton outfit, Raoul's whole look when he comes to save Christine (🥵) (I'll include a picture at the end)
- Favorite actor/actress in it THERE ARE SO MANY!! Ramin Karimloo, Sierra Boggess, Hadley Fraser, Earl Carpenter, John Owen Jones, Scott Davies, Emmi Christensson, Liam Tamne, Killian Donnelly,
- Least favorite character Carlotta and Piangi -- and unpopular opinion, but Meg Giry (I'm sorry)
- Least favorite song Second half of Wandering Child / Bravo Bravo ... Gives me a headache every time 😅
- Least favorite actor/actress in it THE ENTIRE 2004 movie cast! Don't get me wrong ... I love the actors, but I hate them in the movie!
- If I've seen it live or not I HAVE! I saw it in London and it was amazing, not to mention it was lead by three understudies/alternates! (Erik/the Phantom, Christine and Raoul's understudies/alternates were on) 😍
- Dream role (if I could actually sing) LORD! If I had the pipes for it I'd go for Christine 😅
- A headcanon Simple -- Love Never Dies never happened (I'm sorry -- but it was a mess 😅 I do love Til I Hear You Sing, Love Never Dies, and Beneath The Moonless Sky)
- Dream casting Oh dear, where do I start -- I gotta shorten it down to one or two per character 😅 Christine - Celinde Schoenmaker or Lucy St. Louis (they've played the role previously, but I've not gotten to see them) Erik/the Phantom - I'll take anyone who's previously played him on stage (No, not you Gerard Butler) ❤️ but maybe Ramin Karimloo ❤️ or Killian Donnelly ❤️ Raoul - HADLEY FRASER! But same as with the Phantom -- anyone who's played him on stage ❤️ Or Bradley Jaden, in Italy! 😍 Madame Giry - Liz Robertson from the 25th Anniversary at the Royal Albert Hall 😍 Or Emma Thompson ❤️ Meg Giry - Holly-Anne Hull, or Katie Hall ❤️ Monsieur Gilles André - Philip Griffiths (he either has to play André or Reyer 😅) Monsieur Richard Firmin - Scott Davies (My Phantom from when I saw the show) Carlotta Guidicelli - Honestly, Wendy Ferguson (25th anniversary at the Royal Albert Hall) Ubaldo Piangi - Wynne Evans (25th anniversary at the Royal Albert Hall)
(in the production I saw it was no vest, but suspenders, and I think the shirt was a little ripped (and more open to show his chest) but I cannot post about the Phantom of the Opera and not talk about my boy Hadley! 😅😍

Helena, much like Jim, was brought to Lummerland (Morrowland) on the postman's boat when she was very little. However, to the shock of everyone, it turned out this small toddler was actually Lukas's (Luke's) biological daughter. Unlike her father, a locomotive engineer, Helena prefers staying at home to study and doesn't find much joy in working with steam locomotives. When the King declares locomotive Emma needs to be scrapped to make space for when Jim and Helena grow up, Lukas, Emma and the two kids leave the island, sending them on the adventure of their lives and slowly revealing the secret of who the children's parents really are.

Helena came to Lummerland on the mailman's ship as a child with her mother nowhere in sight. Her father, Lukas, recognised her immediately and took her in. Instead of falling in love with steam locomotives like her father and Jim, the other child on the island, Helena preferred spending hours in the king's castle's library and learning as much as she could. When the king decides Lukas's locomotive Emma has to be taken off the island, Helena joins Lukas and Jim on their journey into the world. Without intending to, this search for a new home and Jim's heritage also starts to reveal the mermaid genes hidden in Helena's DNA.
Helena is booksmart, kind and careful. Though she dislikes adventure, she loves exploring and learning about distant lands and cultures. Whenever possible, she tries to help in any way she can and is a very reliable friend
Extra facts:
- When she first saw the scales starting to form across her skin after washing up on the shores of Mandala, she thought she was getting sick
- She likes to build small, steam-powered devices
