#Darua Goes

[wheel-of-fish]

Totally forgot about the December concert with Saulo Vasconcelos and Daruã Góes. I don't suppose anyone knows of any footage?

Hi! You’ve answered this question a couple of times but I wanted to see if you had any new favorites. I’ve sort of been on the hunt for actresses who have played as Christine that have darker/more deeper voices? I’ve noticed that some like Katie Hall, Sofia Escobar, Lauri Brons (to me) have lighter or more soft voices.

Any suggestions to listen to?

Hmm, for newer actresses:

Irina Baiant - especially in the recent revival

Celinde Schoenmaker - I know I keep listing her but she is one of the most powerful voices the West End has had for a while

Hanna Ulvan - maybe more operatic than dark but still

Iida Antola - fascinatingly dark and operatic

Astrid Giske - more of a "smoky" tone but still worth mentioning

Darua Goes - such a powerful voice for such a tiny girl

Mina Gligorić - not sure if her voice is dark or if her range is just a bit too low for the role because boy did she mess up on some of those high notes; no link because I couldn't find much of her

I hope those provide some interesting options!

Phantom Flub - Early Unmasking

Christine unmasks the Phantom WAY too early; to his credit, the Phantom covers it up fairly well. From the Brazil revival, with Thiago Arancan as the Phantom and Darua Goes as Christine.

this might be an unreasonable question i guess but i'm curious. do you know which POTO actors/actresses are fine with or hate bootlegs? if not then i hope someone else who sees this can enlighten me lol

I know of some, but I certainly don’t have an exhaustive list of them, if only because I really don’t care how they feel about it. Seriously - if they’re okay with bootlegs, great. If they’re not, that’s totally understandable to me; bootlegs are illegal and actors have a right to, you know, not like them. I suppose the only time it nettles me is when an actor has clearly watched and supported bootlegs of other shows or other actors but get up in arms when they find a bootleg of themselves, because, well, hypocrisy much?

What makes it difficult too is that many actors will not outright say that they are fine with bootlegs, since that can get them in trouble with the show they’re in. I know of one actor who has said that even though he’s okay with bootlegs personally, if he were asked outright by his job or publicly, he would say he does not support them, because he wants to ensure future employment. That means my list of actors who are fine with bootlegs might be based on inference... but other times might be based on things like:

they’ve commented on bootlegs of themselves,

they’ve posted photos or videos of themselves from bootlegs,

they’ve posted video of themselves watching a bootleg,

they’ve had friends who’ve said they’ve watched bootlegs of themselves,

they’ve admitted to buying a bootleg of themselves,

they’ve literally emailed or messaged people for bootlegs of themselves.

If any of the above has happened, I will assume they’re okay with bootlegs.

Furthermore, one also has to take into account the distinction between actors who dislike bootlegs as a whole and actors who don’t like it when they notice someone bootlegging them. What you’ll sometimes find are actors on social media calling out recorders, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they hate all bootlegs; what they are angry about is being distracted by the lights, which can be a considerable safety risk onstage.

And finally, I do know there are many actors who post clips of themselves, but if those clips are soundboard audios or monitor videos, I still hesitate to say that they are okay with bootlegs, because soundboards and monitor videos aren’t bootlegs, technically. An actor might very well be okay with posting things made and given to them by the theater, but not so much with an audience recording.

Anyway, here’s some actors - Phantom-related, of course - that I believe are okay with bootlegs:

Dale Kristien

Peter Karrie

Meredith Braun

Hugh Panaro

Jennifer Hope Wills

Jeremy Stolle

Kelly Jeanne Grant

Sean MacLaughlin

David Shannon

Kaley Ann Voorhees

Nicky Wuchinger

Grace Morgan

Kaitlyn Davis

Bronson Norris Murphy

Darua Goes

Holly-Anne Hull

And here’s a few I know are not okay:

Sierra Boggess

Ramin Karimloo

Jonathan Roxmouth

And I’m sure there are more that people will inform me about in the comments, this is just a list off the top of my head.

Hi Glass! Can you list some Phantom and Christine pairings who had drastic height differences?

Operafantomet has a good photoset here.

In more recent years, I'd also say Ivan Ozhogin (6'4" / 193 cm) with three of his Christines - Tamara Kotova (5′3" / 161 cm), Elena Bahtiyarova (5′3" / 161 cm), and Mercedesz Csampai (5'2" / 158 cm); Quentin Oliver Lee (6'7" / 200 cm) with pretty much all his Christines, but perhaps especially Eva Tavares (5'2" / 158 cm), Jonathan Roxmouth with Meghan Picerno, and Thiago Arancam and Darua Goes,

Did you hear that there is another video of Darua Goes as Christine with Fred Silveira as The Phantom and Henrique Moretzsohn as Raoul? The same master of the other brazillian videos posted some highlights on their youtube channel

I did (see the video here), and I also saw that Fred Silveira commented on it. Boy, the Brazil cast is really aware of (and pretty okay with) bootlegs of themselves going up.

Anyway, it doesn’t surprise me that the filmer has another video of Daruã Góes. They have a ton of other videos, mostly from the last few performances, that have yet to be released, so what’s one more? But it’s cool to see they got such an understudy bonanza.

[wheel-of-fish]

what christines are on the short list of upcoming streams?

As of right now, Lauri Brons, Sofia Escobar and Darua Goes!
