❤️ Meg
Jennifer Ellison: I have to include her because she's the reason I love Meg in the first place, and she's definitely among the things the movie got right. I will never not be frustrated that her mother caught her in the corridor leading to the Phantom's lair.
Hayley Driscoll: Cute as a button, beautiful, childlike singing voice, a cheery little doll with big expressive eyes and graceful movements. You wouldn't expect much from her but she's very much Christine's little guardian angel, standing up to the managers when suggesting Christine and as they dismiss her. She's a Meg I would have liked to see with Kelly Mathieson if I had a time machine, because when told to stay quiet you could tell she had a lot going on in her head. She understood the premise of Meg being a little detective throughout the show to a T.
Heidi Ann O'Brien: A great counterpart to Rachel Barrell's more discreet Christine, with a lovely warm singing voice. You have the implication that she may have encouraged the iron spine and will of steel Rachel's Christine shows later in the show. Heidi's Meg was sassy, mischievous, very protective of Christine, and she'd even openly mock people who were gratuitously mean towards her.
Emma Harris: A wonderfully detailed performance that complimented Gina Beck's very well. She's very much Madame Giry's daughter in the best way possible, the big sister to her Christine, with a will of steel, a take no nonsense attitude, and a good dose of common sense where she can tell right away in Angel of Music that there is something amiss and that it's nothing good. Probably the best voice for Meg the West End production has had, so I'm not surprised she's understudying Madame Giry nowadays.
Brianne Kelly Morgan: The perfect balance between the sassier and the softer interpretations of Meg (according to no other than Hal Prince and Gillian Lynne), she really told a story through every single one of her gestures and guided the audience throughout. Even then, she would still adjust her portrayal depending on who she was playing alongside as Meg - she was the little sister to Elizabeth Loyacano's more mature Christine, and the protective big sister to Kristi Holden's. And she has a voice on Christine's level, which makes it really a shame she never played the role of either Meg or even Christine on Broadway.
Layla Harrison: Gorgeous, great dancer, lovely voice, a lovely, thought out, detailed performance, and it's honestly a crime there aren't more videos of her as Meg, and an even bigger one she never made it to principal Meg.
Deanna Doyle: Cute as a kitten, lovely facial expressions, curious, just a little ball of charm who liked everyone and wanted to be friends with everyone. I may also be biased given she was one of the first Megs I've seen in a video that wasn't the 2004 movie or the 25th anniversary, so there's that.
Polly Baird: Her Meg isn't the most... expansive one, if that makes any sense - but she has a million dollar smile and she's a Meg where you feel there's a lot more going on underneath the surface as she slowly figures out what's going on with her friend. Basically the Sonya Rostova of Megs, and I mean this in the best way possible.
Eleanor Waite: ADORABLE. You would have wanted to pinch her cheeks. Her childlike portrayal worked very well with Kristi Holden's dreamy Christine, but she still had depths, intelligence and courage you would not have expected from her.
Georgia Ware: I say Olivia Safe is the Dora Brunlow of Christines, meanwhile Georgia is the Dora Brunlow of Megs. Another one of the kitten!Megs, with a sweetness paired with a nice dose of mischief. She felt like she was more of a little sister to both Kelly Mathieson and Amy Manford's Christines, but she would always encourage them to get out of their shells and was very supportive no matter what.
Imogen-Lily Ash: She had a very special but graceful way of moving that made her look like a cross between a ballerina and a kitten, and that made her really linger on my mind after seeing the Copenhagen revival video (and mind you, it has the best cast overall I've seen in a POTO video). Like Sybille Glosted, she was very responsive to her surroudings and happenings, never had a moment where she went blank, with maybe a hint of nervousness that makes her descending into the Phantom's Lair all the more poignant.
Sara Esty: Listen, she was ready to throw hands with the so-called Angel in Angel of Music already. The Phantom is lucky to have made it out before she arrived because there would have been a fight. A determined little knight in shining armor, and I really liked her with Meghan Picerno's Christine, because they were one of those Christine/Meg pairings where they really felt like real friends.
Fernanda Muniz: Listen, I saw a picture of her with those freckles, and I was REALLY hoping she wouldn't disappoint as Meg, given the cast for the Sao Paulo revival could be a little hit and miss. She was definitely a "hit". A VERY cheery little Meg, who would spontaneously laugh at certain moments and it felt genuine every time.
I haven't seen Kelly Loughran or Erica Wong yet, but I'm really eager to because I've only heard good things about them.
Send me ❤️ and a role in a musical and I’ll give you my favorite performers in the role.

Pictures from the show last night. For longer notes now that I am awake? Ben Crawford as Erik was SO GOOD, it took a bit to get used to his enunciation, but he has such an amazing voice and tone range and his emotional performance was just 👌💋. So intimidating and vulnerable and heartbreaking in turns, he had me in tears at the end. And I NEVER cry at shows or music or fiction in general!
And as for the others? Our Christine wasn’t Emilie, but Kanisha Marie Feliciano and I have ZERO regrets! Her voice was awesome and she played such a sweet, vulnerable Christine, I really connected to it. Paul Schaefer was not bad at all either! I really liked the vibe he brought to Raoul: More self-assured and confident in a ‘this really feels like a privileged noble’ sort of way, but still brave and caring despite that. Very nuanced.
And Meg. Sara Esty is the best Meg I have ever seen or heard. I am SO picky with Meg, and she was perfect, caring and anxious and precious and all I could ask for. They all were. I am SO happy!! 😭
But yes, the best. Just the best. No regrets. So, so glad I got to see it live before the end. I got to see my favorite musical and favorite story with my best friend and best niece and I couldn’t be happier.

The final performance ended as all the preceding ones had: a single character, Meg Giry, kneels alone on the darkened stage. Lit by a spotlight, she holds the Phantom’s mask, gazing out in fear and wonder. The last person alone on the stage for the final performance of this legendary musical was Sara Esty (GHS ’04).
Sara recalled, “That final moment in Broadway history was transcendent. How this fell to me, I will never know. But life led me there.”

Notes:
The second to last show of the historic Broadway run and the final public performance.
As a result this is a very enthusiastic and responsive crowd.
There are multiple recordings of this night; perhaps it would be best for the traders to label this recording as ifyouhappentoremember’s master to keep the records organized?
This audio is to be gifted on request.

All right, we need to settle this once and for all.
#phantom of the opera#meg giry#phantom west end#phantom broadway#i noticed overall there are two types of good megs#either the ones who are little detectives and who could definitely beat you in a fight (sara esty and emma harris for one)#and then you have the adorable little kittenish ones (georgia ware and imogen-lily ash)#(incidentally hal prince favored the former and gillian lynne the latter)#Janet Devenish#Emma Harris#Sara Esty#Ellie Young#(aka “that meg wants to kiss christine so bad lmao”)#Heidi Ann O'Brien#Layla Harrison#Brianne Kelly Morgan#Georgia Ware#Imogen-Lily Ash#(i would have put more options but i am limited lol)

So, I realized after listening around to some recordings that I REALLY like both John-Owen Jones and Earl Carpenter's Phantom voices, and THEN I found out they were Valjean and Javert in Les Miserables, with a proper recording on Spotify. I have been listening to their variation of The Confrontation on repeat and having an internal crisis worthy of a parallel universe split.
Meanwhile, being two-minded over Ben Crawford's amazing performance and realizing that my would-be The Persian/Nadir Khan would be Ramin Karimloo and how do I reconcile all of this--
#poto#i also need to put myself back through the ringer for christines#though kanisha was amazing--only likely contenders are katie hall and gina beck#thankfully I'm pretty open on my raoul and I got my perfect meg in sara esty (though honorable nod to heather mcfadden for magical lasso)
