BOURNEMOUTH’S West End star Earl Carpenter co-starred, directed and produced this taste of musical theatre heaven.
This was a uniquely entertaining show.
Current Phantom Musical Director Anthony Gabrielle led the 21-piece orchestra too.
Carpenter, current Phantom John Owen-Jones and Matthew Cammelle have notched up over 3,000 of the show’s 10,000 London performances, gold medalists of the theatre world – all quite different but all brilliant.
Joined by the stunning Rebecca Caine, who played Christine opposite Michael Crawford, the show was both a celebration of their impressive CVs as it was a spotlight on some of the 40 stage adaptations of Gaston Leroux’s novel and their inspiration for Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The male banter kept the mood jovial, with I’m All Alone from Monty Python’s Spamalot raising lots of laughs. The reaction of the audience said it all when they heard the Lloyd Webber songs they knew and loved.
