What's left behind the scenes
- Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess reprise their roles in Andrew Lloyd Webber, Glenn Slater and Charles Hart's musical 'Love Never Dies' (2010), a sequel to 'The Phantom of the Opera'.
- Contrary to popular belief, this is not the candelabra used in the film 'The Phantom of the Opera' (Joel Schumacher, 2004). This candelabra was created specifically for a concert in memory of Maria Björnson, the musical’s designer, who died at the age of 53 in 2002. The name 'Maria' is engraved on its base.
- Colm Wilkinson (one of the four Phantoms) was the first to perform the role of the Phantom. This happened in 1985 as part of the Sidmonton Festival, held at Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Hampshire estate.
- Kira Duffy was initially cast as Carlotta, but the singer fell ill at the last moment and was replaced by Wendy Ferguson, who played the same role in the London production.
- In the musical The Phantom of the Opera, the Phantom is never named, but in Gaston Leroux's original novel (1909-1910) his name is Erik.
- Each production of The Phantom of the Opera uses 230 costumes, 14 dressing tables with mirrors, 120 cues for the orchestra's entrance, 22 set changes, and 281 candles.
- To give the masquerade scene a sense of 'scale,' both actors and mannequins were used in it.
- The production uses over 220 kilograms of dry ice and 10 smoke machines.
- George Lee Andrews, a member of the original musical cast, made it into the Guinness Book of World Records. He performed the same role on stage more times than anyone else in the world. In August 2011, Andrews ended his career, having played the Phantom a total of 9,382 times.
- The final note in the main song, a high B-flat taken by Christine, was pre-recorded. This was done to avoid straining Sierra Boggess’s voice unnecessarily. This note is rarely sung live during performances of 'The Phantom of the Opera'.
- When the lighting technician Joseph Buquet falls, a mannequin was used instead of the actor playing the role, Nick Holder.
