The Phantom Follies - Melbourne, Australia - 1992 or 1993
Rob Guest, Marina Prior, Dale Burridge, Maree Johnson, Caroline Ferrie, and more
The cast and crew of the Australian production put on skits, parodies, and spoofs for the benefit of charity.
Runs over two hours long. Quite funny, especially loved the snarky version of All I Ask of You. Some of
the skits/parodies - "Beauty School Dropout," "The Three Raoul Amigos," "A Charade," "I'm Too Sexy,"
a rock version of Il Muto, a rap/dance version of Think of Me, many more. Ripped from an old tape,
has generational issues, a few skips that were in the tape, some color bleeding due to PAL to NTSC
conversion, but still quite watchable. The "Midnight at Erik's" segment has a date of 1993, I'm not sure
if this was part of the Phantom Follies or if it's from something else and added onto this tape.
The Follies seem to be complete, the Midnight at Erik's segment cuts off when Mme. Giry is
tangoing with an Erik.
@DarthxErik in the original production in Australia, yes Christine did have to do pointe.

@miep8675 I second this question. Does Christine have to go on pointe in the show?

@miep8675 no as far as I remember. I'm 90% sure Christine does not go en pointe.

Actually it's a parody of "Triplets," from a very old musical called "Between the Devil." Number 8 is a parody of Three Little Maids.

Nina and Steve Urkel would make an excellent couple.

I'm in love with the way they sang the chromatic scale.

@RaWrZzZz they use a low lying fog machine (its like a smoke machine with all the smoke spread all over the ground, and they made the lights bluey green
