between his character, Christine, and
the Phantom saying, “The raw emo-
tion felt during the last scene of the
show has to be one of my fondest
moments of the production.”
“I discover a new favorite moment
of the show at each rehearsal,” says
Prickett. He and Baldwin both com-
ment on the strength of Christine
and her journey throughout the
show. “Christine starts the show as
a very young, naive ballet dancer
with little life experience,” says Bald-
win, “and by the end of the show,
[she] transforms into a woman who
has experienced love, passion, pain,
and sorrow.” Prickett agrees saying
he loves the intricacy of Christine’s
character, “I love how we watch her
grow up and learn to make difficult
choices. She is so strong and deter-
mined, though she does at times let
the seduction and madness get to
her, she remains courageous until the
very end.”

Wight says the level of talent in this

says “This is a production that only
comes along once in a lifetime. We

ent that we have to make this show
happen.”
