Starring: Davis Gaines (The Phantom of the Opera), Tracy Shayne (Christine Daaé), Ciaran Sheehan (Raoul)
We continue our salute to Phantom on Broadway with a video of another true Phantom legend, Davis Gaines.
Davis' journey with Phantom began in 1990 when he was cast in the Broadway production as Raoul, opposite original Raoul Steve Barton as the Phantom. Following his run as Raoul in the Broadway production, Davis was given the chance to take over in the Los Angeles production as The Phantom, replacing original Phantom Michael Crawford after his limited engagement in the role in 1991.
Davis remained the Phantom until the production's close in 1993, and later that year joined the San Francisco production until 1994. In July 1994 he took over as The Phantom on Broadway, and played the role there until October 1996. After a hiatus from the role, Davis returned for one final engagement in the role in the USA tour from August-November of 1998, ending his legendary time with the show with over 2,000 performances to his name.
Truly a legend indeed!
We also see here Ciaran Sheehan as Raoul. He had played Raoul in the USA tour in 1993, later joining the Broadway production as Raoul and also understudying the role of The Phantom. Eventually, in 1995, he began to appear in the Toronto production, this time appearing as the principle Phantom!
This video is Davis Gaines focused highlights of the show.
Enjoy!
