In reference to the character descriptions below — most characters we encounter currently are on the binary and are written with he/him or she/her pronouns and you will see that in the following descriptions. But however limiting the descriptions are, our casting seeks to be as inclusive as possible and we invite gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender and non-binary actors to submit for the roles they most identify with. We will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. Let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or if there are any accommodations we can provide (from language developed by Kevin Kantor and Emily Tarquin from the Actors Theatre of Louisville).
SYNOPSIS: Phantom has appeared in over 1,000 productions worldwide, across America, Japan, Korea, the UK, Germany, Poland, Australia, Finland, Estonia, The Philippines and other countries. Written by Yeston and Arthur Kopit, their Phantom relates the heart-rending 19th century tale of Eric – disfigured from birth yet as beautiful on the inside as he is misshapen on the outside. Raised from youth and hidden in the crypts and lagoons beneath the Paris Opera, the adult Eric has an inner beauty reflecting the music that all his life has wafted down from the stage above to his secret crypt below and has sustained him. When an untalented egomaniacal Diva takes over the Opera House the musical environment so dear to his life, on which he subsists, is shattered. He seeks a voice and a singer to restore the only beauty he's ever known – and finds it in the astonishingly gifted young soprano Christine Daiae, with whom he falls deeply in love.
