Not sure if these have ever been shared before? Photos from the Hungarian production.
The actors should be Sandor Sasvari (Phantom), Barbara Fonyó and Andrea Mahó (Christine), and Gábor Bot and Zsolt Homonnay (Raoul).

I know that norm & sierra played father and daughter in the little mermaid before they did phantom together and jon robyns and lily kerhoas were also father and daughter in les mis recently, are there any other phantom/christine pairings who also played father and daughter beforehand?
Quite a few, at least from Les Miserables (the main one that I know), starting with the original Valjean and Cosette themselves, Colm Wilkinson and Rebecca Caine, who starred in the London production of Les Miserables and then went on to the Toronto production The Phantom of the Opera. Others might include:
Rob Guest and Marina Prior
Mark McKerracher and Nicky Adams
Carlos Vittori and Claudia Cota
Sandor Sasvari and Renata Krassy
John Owen-Jones and Gina Beck
John Owen-Jones and Katie Hall
David Shannon and Tabitha Webb
Geronimo Rauch and Talia del Val
A reverse case with Damian Aleksander and Paulina Janczak
Killian Donnelly and Holly-Anne Hull
And many more, I was just going through my bootleg list and finding what I could (and hopefully not reversing any - the Les Mis to Phantom and back to Les Mis and back to Phantom pipeline is intense, many end up playing or understudying various roles in both). I'm not really into Les Mis anymore so I'm sure there will be plenty of additions (and corrections!) in the replies!

This is kind of a silly question, but is earl one of the oldest people to play the phantom at this point?
I believe he is 52, so he would be in that 50's-Phantom age group now, but not the oldest. There is Sandor Sasvari (65), Robert Guillaume (63), Flemming Enevold (57), Preben Kristensen (56), Anthony Crivello (55), Peter Karrie (54), Tim Howar (53). And if we are counting Love Never Dies, Masachika Ichimura would have been around 70 when he was in the Tokyo production in 2019. This is of course not a full list, just some that I remember. And like Earl, most were younger when originally cast but many stayed in the part for so long.

What If Scenario. The Pandemic never happened, but the renovations at Her Majesty’s eventually did. During that time, they put together a concert-like production of Phantom like they did with Les Mis in 2019. Who would you have cast in each part? Feel free to include Ensemble & Understudies
I think I answered something very similar before where I said that I'd love to have had an international celebration, with recent, fan-favorite, or long-running members from productions all over the world given an opportunity to perform and do, like, one song each, along with the then-current cast at the time. So I guess it might be something like:
Phantom: Josh Piterman (London), Ben Crawford (Broadway), Derrick Davis (national tour), Osamu Takai (Japan), Alexander Goebel (Vienna), Colm Wilkinson (Toronto), Peter Karrie (Canadian tour), Peter Joback (Stockholm), Ian Jon Bourg (Germany), Anthony Warlow (Australia), Henk Poort (Scheveningen), Juan Navarro (Mexico City), Hans Peter Janssens (Antwerp), Tomas Ambt Kofod (Copenhagen), Hong Kwang Ho (Seoul), Juan Carlos Barona (Madrid), Sandor Sasvari (Budapest), Saulo Vasconcelos (Sao Paulo), Damian Aleksander (Poland), Carlos Vittori (Buenos Aires), Marian Vojtko (Prague), Stephen Brandt Hansen (Estonia), Ivan Ozhogin (Moscow), Ilkka Hamalainen (Helsinki), Adrian Nour (Bucharest), Nikola Bulatovic (Belgrade), Vladimir Grudkov (Sofia), Jonathan Roxmouth (World Tour), Espen Grjotheim (Oslo), Ben Forster (Greece), Killian Donnelly (UK Tour)
Christine: Kelly Mathieson (London), Meghan Picerno (Broadway), Emma Grimsley (national tour), Sae Yamamoto (Japan), Luzia Nistler (Vienna), Rebecca Caine (Toronto), Teresa DeZarn (Canadian tour), Emmi Christensson (Stockholm), Valerie Link (Germany), Ana Marina (Australia), Joke de Kruijf (Scheveningen), Irasema Terrazas (Mexico City), Inneke van Klinken (Antwerp), Sibylle Glosted (Copenhagen), Kim So Hyun (Seoul), Julia Moller (Madrid), Barbara Fonyo (Budapest), Lina Mendes (Sao Paulo), Edyta Krzemien (Poland), Claudia Cota (Buenos Aires), Monika Sommerova (Prague), Maria Listra (Estonia), Tamara Kotova (Moscow), Sofie Asplund (Helsinki), Irina Baiant (Bucharest), Mirjana Matic (Belgrade), Vesela Delcheva (Sofia), Claire Lyon (World Tour), Astrid Giske (Oslo), Amy Manford (Greece), Holly-Anne Hull (UK Tour)
Raoul: Danny Whitehead (London), John Riddle (Broadway), Michael Maliakel (national tour), Kanji Ishimaru (Japan), Thorsten Tinney (Vienna), Laird Mackintosh (Toronto), Kip Wilborne (Canadian tour), Anton Zetterholm (Stockholm), Nicky Wuchinger (Germany), Alexander Lewis (Australia), Peter de Smet (Scheveningen), someone who's not Jose Joel (Mexico City), Michael Shawn Lewis (Antwerp), Christian Lund (Copenhagen), Son Jun Ho (Seoul), Armando Pita (Madrid), Zoltan Miller (Budapest), Nando Prado (Sao Paulo), Marcin Mrozinski (Poland), Nicholas Martinelli (Buenos Aires), Tomas Vanek (Prague), Koit Toome (Estonia), Evgeny Zaycev (Moscow), John Martin Bengtsson (Helsinki), Florin Ristei (Bucharest), Slaven Doslo (Belgrade), Denko Prodanov (Sofia), Matt Leisy (World Tour), Carl Lindquist (Oslo), Nadim Naaman (Greece), Rhys Whitfield (UK Tour)
Is that way too many cast members? Probably! Are there even enough scenes for each of them to perform together? Unlikely! Did I give up doing supporting, ensemble, and understudies because it was too exhausting? Definitely! Do I even know who some of these people are or if they want to come back at all? Not really!
But you have to admit - it's a huge and very international cast!

Who was the oldest Christine to play in Phantom?
See here. Yeah, I’ve been asked this question a fair amount. Post helpfully includes links to the youngest Christine (because that’s usually the follow-up question) and oldest and youngest Phantoms (which almost always follows up the question about youngest Christines), with one caveat that Sandor Sasvari from the Budapest production is now the oldest Phantom at 64 (and if you count Love Never Dies, Masachika Ichimura was around 70). And see here and here for oldest and youngest Raouls, with another quick addition that Jordan Donica was also one of the youngest, at 22.
And I hope that answers most of the age questions for the foreseeable future!

I was wondering why they don't cast older actors to play the Phantom? By older I mean like 40s that's the age I think Erik is in the book. One of the reasons I love the original is bc the actors had these unique characteristics, very much like in Lenoux's Phantom. Everything now seems so generic.
There have definitely been a lot of older Phantom’s! Some in their 40′s or 50′s. Some were in their 40′s when cast, and then finished in their 50′s. To name a few:
Robert Guillaume, 63(ish)
Flemming Enevold: 57
Sandor Sasvari: 57
Hugh Panaro, around 35 during his first run in 1999, 37-38 for his second, about 40 for the third, and 50 when he played his final show
Peter Karrie, around 45 when he began in London and about 55 when he did his final show
Brent Barrett, 51
Preben Kristensen, 56
Brad Little, about 32 when he first started and 50 when he finished
Michael Crawford: about 44 in 1986 and 49 when he finished
Howard McGillin: about 46 when he started and 56 when he finished
Ted Keegan, about 38 when he first began in 1999, and about 59 now (he is still an u/s on Broadway)
And there are definitely more. But I will say that I notice that while the description will say 30-40′s, there is a tendecny in recent years to cast younger Phantom’s. As the leads at least. There were definitely younger Phantom’s back in the day, but it seemed like there were a few more that were understudies versus principals. Nowadays, it seems like late 20′s is possible, but 30′s is the average. I understand why, the role is vocally and physically challenging, and some actors in their 40-50′s might not want to go through all of that night after night. Not all, but some. Also, there has always been this sort of charm or ‘sexiness’ surrounded around the ALW Phantom. And I think in recent years with people like Ramin, we have seen a shift in them casting younger, more ‘attractive’ Phantom’s. Even though half their face is covered for the entire show.
But I don’t necessarily think that age equals how unique or good a performance is. Sure, being older means the actor likely has more experience that they can apply to the role, but a good actor who auditioned and was cast in a role should be able to do it well no matter if they are 28 or 38. And if we look at the Phantom, he is an outcast of society, who faces rejection and heartbreak. Granted most people aren’t outcasted the way the Phantom was, but a lot of people at some point feel left out and get their heartbroken. Especially in your teenage years and 20′s. So theoretically, a Phantom u/s of 29 might have the same personal experience as some who is 40. If they are a good actor and the creatives thought they could do the role justice, then they probably can.
Now on the subject of the generic, that might not entirely be all on the actor. I have definitely seen older and younger Phantom’s give amazing performances and throw in some unique things to make the role more their own. Ted Keegan and Jonathan Roxmouth for example. But Broadway and the US tend to have more of a mold that they want their actors to follow, whereas the UK, World Tours, foreign productions will give them more freedom. So the same person might be more static on Broadway, but then throw in a bunch of new things if they went to London or Brazil. I figure the US does that for a few reasons: it being the productions Hal would see the most, consistency, audience expectations, etc. So sometimes an actor is a bit more restricted and it makes them seem generic, sometimes it’s an off day, sometimes you just get someone who has been there a while and seems bored (Kyle Barisich). And honestly it’s not always a bad thing because even with the actors following more of a mold that means you’ll likely always see either a solid or great show, whereas in other places that cast more outside the box and give more freedom you might get a really great show or a bad one. But I don’t think age is the big factor there.

Hey Celina. I hope you’re well and safe. I know this is a really silly question, but do you know the stage production’s main trio cast across the world when the 2004 movie came out? The movie came out in December, so the Spain, Stuttgart, and South Africa productions might sadly not count as they were just closed by then. So that leaves us with London, NY, US tour, Japan, and Hungary, (and maybe the 1st World Tour?) I presume? I hope it’s not too burdening of a question. Thank you and stay safe!
Ooh, that’s a fun question. Though I believe there was no Japanese production at the time, at least according to Japanese Wikipedia, which says that the Fukuoka production closed March 28, 2004, and the next production in Tokyo did not open until January 12, 2005. But you are definitely correct that the Stuttgart and Madrid productions had closed by then (Stuttgart on May 23, 2004 and Madrid on June 30, 2004), while others, such as Essen and Sao Paulo, would not open until 2005. The Hungarian production seems a bit up in the air, as it is a repertoire production that has very short stints, with other shows performing in-between, but I’ll include it anyway, though keep in mind the cast is a bit of a guess.
And as always, pretty much all info is gathered from here.

Ah, thank you for directing me to that. Forgive me for not even thinking to check there. Though I am looking for performances that can be found on YouTube (admittedly partially for convenience) and video quality isn't exactly a concern.
No problem, and since you’ve specified that you were looking specifically for YouTube, I can give a fuller answer, since that’s different than videos uploaded to MEGA accounts and such. I’m sometimes hesitant to link to YouTube videos though, since those accounts can get taken down fairly quickly, so what you might get in a couple of months is a post full of dead links, but here’s a couple that seem to have stayed online for a while:
