Dale was a wonderful Christine. Mary D'Arcy was her 'alternate' in Los Angeles before leaving to open either Chicago or Toronto I don't recall, so she's not exactly the ONLY Christine in LA. But she let me win a bet w/another audience member who'd never heard of her, was wishing for Sarah Brightman and thought she'd be an LA pop singer. I bet him a $1 he would not think so after 'Think of Me' ended. She threw that note to the ceiling and after applauding, he handed me my $1.00 !
What a lucky girl to be on the stage with MC eight times a week! I just heard David Gaines sing, he's awesome, too. Why, oh why, don't they issue a video of the stage production? Now that the touring company is over in the US, the time is right.
I'm glad that Dale was able to recognize Michael Crawford's greatness from the perspective of Christine. I also have never seen three different Phantoms sing one after other...Crawford puts the other two to shame.
I love Michael Crawford. It is adorable that he truly loves the character and truhis truly feels for him. And from what I have seen of him he truly feels his pain and seems to really become him. No other will ever equal Michael Crawford. He is the only one that I have seen who really becomes the role. My second favorite is Michael Lackey though. He was amazing too.
It's pretty obvious who Dale's favorite Phantom is. She did concerts with Michael Crawford too. She said recently that she is using Michael's blocking for an upcoming appearance she is doing with another singer in LA. That says a lot for a performer.
