In One Of Your Older Posts I Read About How Marcus Lovett Deliberately Echoed Raoul And Piangi For Some

In one of your older posts I read about how Marcus Lovett deliberately echoed Raoul and Piangi for some scenes, because he thought that Erik would mimic them in terms of “manly” behavior. I thought this was really interesting, and I was wondering if you could talk about any scenes in particular that stood out in this way?

One scene that definitely stood out was the proposal after “Point of No Return”, before the unmasking. Here Marcus Lovett’s Phantom seemed to perfectly mimick Raoul’s movements and manners in the Rooftop scene.

I thought it was an interesting take on it, and I brought it up when talking to Marcus Lovett after the show. He looked mighty pleased that I had noticed that detail. He told it was an acting choice; that he envisioned the Phantom studying the men of the opera numerous times to try and understand how a man was supposed to appear to the world. Which is why the Phantom has a slightly theatrical flair, because without realizing he was just as much studying opera roles than actual men. But with Raoul he saw genuine affections towards a woman, and this is what he figures out Christine wants - hence the PONR moment (albeit he could probably pick up more clues from Raoul, given what happens next...!)

There’s something deeply human and adorably clumsy about this, and when seeing Marcus Lovett’s Phantom again with this arch in mind I loved him doubly. He had really thought of every single little detail he did on stage, from hand movements to grander arch storytelling. Which is also why, despite moments of rusty vocals, I list him as one of my favourite Phantoms.

I think of Immersive Phantom as the random protein/granola bar stashed at the bottom of your purse or bookbag. If you’re super hungry between meals it’ll tide you over, but you’re really just saving your appetite for your favorite restaurant and dessert after work.

And you’re also waiting for the place to release the dang cast list—I mean, menu—to see if Jordan Donica is on it.

I feel like an outlier bc I know immersive phantom is the hot thing rn but I'm actually more excited for the (vastly more accessible) U.S. tour and all the new phans it's going to bring in

If this is the level of character analysis Jordan Donica put into his performance as freaking LANCELOT DU LAC then I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WTF HE WOULD COME UP WITH FOR THE TITLE CHARACTER IN PHANTOM OF THE OPERA AND IF THERE IS A GOD PLEASE ANSWER MY PRAYER AND MAKE THIS CASTING HAPPEN I AM BEGGING YOU.
