“The Orlando tour stop was the second for the show’s newest Phantom and Christine Daaé, Chris Mann and Katie Travis. Mann, a classical recording artist and a finalist on Season Four of NBC’s THE VOICE, is clearly the name draw of the production, however, his lack of theatrical experience was evident throughout the show, while his costar Travis created a stunning ingénue in every way.
From her first notes, Travis proved that she possessed both the soprano and acting chops to take on this challenging role. It could be very difficult for any Christine to communicate the illogical pull that she feels towards the Phantom. While the script does not give the character many opportunities to express this development, Travis takes advantage of every small moment available to embody this central push and pull. She is an extremely strong addition to the ‘Phantom Phamily.’”
