Do you have any favourite costume mashups that were worn on stage?
If you mean specific goofs that were done to the costumes, then yes. A forever favourite is probably for a West End muckup matinée, where a male dancer donned the Hannibal slavegirl costume and a random gold mask. These things are rarely documented, so I'm extra glad actual footage exist:
And maybe not as much mash-up as humorous, but fake tattoos for the final performances will always be fun. Kevin Gray's Miss Saigon deformity tattoo in the US Tour and Tomas Ambt Kofod's Christine-heart-sailor-tattoo in Copenhagen are two favourites:
If you mean different styles of costumes or different costume parts being mixed up... I found the combo of a very vintage UK Elissa skirt with a newer US bodice an interesting one. It was worn in the Restaged Tour, I wanna say Lyndsay O'Neill? Similar combos was worn by the other understudies too, including Katie McCreary, Carmen Vass and Sarah Mossman.
And I am very much in love with Cai Min's combo of the Paris bodice and West End skirt in the Chinese production. The bodice never got a good match in the previous World Tour, with either too dark or too pale skirt. This is a nice match, and a well balanced costume:
Oh yeah, and the very vintage Dutch bodice with newer German skirts, as seen on Giulia Nadruz and the other Christines in the Sao Paulo revival... That's a combo I love:
And even if you didn't ask about my least favourites... HARD NO on this combo of a flat mint bodice and structured pink skirt, as seen on Kayleigh Marven in the Restaged Aussie Tour:
Also hard no on the oh-we-forgot-to-decorate-the-apron UK skirt with a US bodice, as worn by Kaley Ann Voorhees and Claire Lyon in the previous World Tour. Glad they decorated it in China... Here's the before look, as worn by Kaley Ann Voorhees:
...and after, as worn by Yang Chengxiyi. It feels like a more balanced costume, as there is a sense of continuation from bodice to skirt. Definite yes on this one!
Also hard yes to Emmi Christensson's Stockholm revival rooftop look, which was a true mask-up of a West End dress with World Tour decorations, World Tour cloak and World Tour underpinnings. The total is quite awesome.

(Maybe this is a good time to politely ask someone if they can understand what Kevin Gray says eight seconds from the end? I genuinely have been trying to hear it forever and I need to know)
Flight 326 is almost sold out, and you have to select your seat for that long haul flight overseas.
Which Combs do you think would be a nervous flier? Who would steal the arm rest? Who would keep their seat in the upright position the entire flight? Who are you sitting next to?
The Dracula question also serves for Lord Ruthaven from The Vampyr (if I wrote his name wrong, I'm sry I read that book ages ago and in my head I just call him Biron with i to show he is second-rate Byron and also as bi as Byron)?
ALSO SOME MORE STUFF I'VE DRAWN + CONTEMPT FOR CHUCKS SKIN IDEA [The one w Kevin and Jack is platonic bc it was my unofficial sibling who really likes the hc of them being father and son]
On the jet, flying to a random location for a mission
Logan: Is it me or is it.... Quiet?
Ororo: Now that I think about it... It is quite peaceful.
Anna: Did we forget something?
Scott: No, I mean we got everything we need here
Jean: I wonder...
Henry: If we don't remember, then it's probably nothing.
Logan, Ororo, Rogue, Scott, Jean, Henry:
Anna and Logan, panicked: OH MY GOD WE FORGOT OUR IDIOTS!!!
Meanwhile, at the X-Mansion
Remy and Kevin: *Evil mechanical laughter while causing ABSOLUTE chaos in the training room because if they destroy anywhere else then their adopted uncle Scott will send adopted murderhobo father Logan on them*
