“Ms. Travis’s Christine, in my opinion, evolves more dramatically than other Christines from lost innocent to a strong and mature woman. A change in lyrics to one verse of WISHING YOU WERE SOMEHOW HERE AGAIN, the song Christine sings to her late father in the cemetery, helps emphasize her growth, but the real difference is in performance nuances. During the Pantages run, I spoke to Ms. Travis about her take on THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and on her character.”
