Which of the most widely-accessible phantoms are the best (or just your personal favorite)? Let’s see…

[kimwexlers-brownhair]

"Gothic, mystical, unusual, sweet, charming, fun; has a broken baby-doll vulnerability, edge, sexiness, and a heart of steel...childlike beauty..."

(I left Clara Bow and Jean Harlow off the list because they're a bit too on the nose)

Blorbo Showdown: Round 1, Match 11

On the left: The Phantom of The Opera, helpfully played here by Ramin Karimloo (the best one) but existing here as more of a concept. I'm an ALW edition fan, obviously, but it's about time we get a new adaptation of this, isn't it? Been a while since a fun new phantom thing. can we get a single decent movie at least

On the right: Frank N. Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. (Or The Rocky Horror Show, if you're a David Bedella fan.) The icon. The legend. The fastest progression from badass to failgirl we've ever seen. I might have to try and get out of a day of class next semester to line up in time for Rocky Horror and I'm going to claim a religious holiday bc it pretty much is

I love poto but it’s Edith’s dress for me by a LOOOONNG shot . Especially with the stained hem

I’m low key obsessed with white dresses and as much as I love basically everything else about Maria Bjornson’s designs. But Christine’s 2piece with the tiered skirt? Eh. I dunno man.

Period dramas dresses tournament: White dresses Round 3- Group A: Edith Cushing, Crimson peak (pics set) vs Christine Daae, The phantom of the opera (musical) (pics set kind of)

Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 1D

This is a Titan vs. Titan fight and I apologize for nothing. I woke up and chose violence throughout this entire poll.

Seven-time Tony nominee, two-time winner Bernadette Peters (1948) has a sixty-plus year stage career of monumental proportions. Considered the foremost Sondheim interpreter, their collaborative works include Sunday in the Park with George (1984), Into the Woods (1987), Gypsy (2003), and Follies (2011). She has a thriving concert career, and was a co-founder of the beloved Broadway Barks event each year in Shubert Alley. She has an honorary third Tony (Isabelle Stevenson Award) for her outstanding advocacy and philanthropy.

Eight-time Tony nominee, three-time winner Patti LuPone (1949) has a staggering fifty-plus year stage career. Award-winning roles include Eva Peron in Evita (1979), Gypsy (2008), and Company (2022). She has toured the US with her wildly successful concert and cabaret acts, and will kill you on sight if she sees a cell phone in the theatre. Patti was NOT Norma Desmond on Broadway, and because of it, is the proud owner of the ALW Memorial Pool. She is no longer a member of Actors' Equity.

PROPAGANDA AND MEDIA UNDER CUT: ALL POLLS HERE

"Do I even need to write propaganda for these women? Do they not speak for themselves? Very well. Bernadette Peters in Cinderella (1997) was my very first, official, undisputed gay awakening. I was three, and enamored with the stepmother. This would prove to be a blueprint in my life, and well, here we are, twenty-some-odd years later, with a thing for stage actresses who play redheaded stepmothers in various Cinderella adaptations. It's a surprisingly common phenomenon."

"This woman can breech the sound barrier. The reverberation she gets on that one note in her Anything Goes Tony performance physically rearranges every atom in my body every time I hear it. Patti is THE definition of a Broadway Diva, with more than just a little touch of star quality. Her 54 Below show was an absolute riot from start to finish."
