StEx London 1990s (New Starlight era) - Backstage Clips (part 1)

[@OofusTwillip]

In 1989, I started as an usher, on the opening night of "Phantom of the Opera", in Toronto, and I held various jobs there for the next 2 years. When the "Phantom" overture began in this video", I still remembered the moment when we started seating latecomers, and my muscle memory got ready to start rushing them in, in the dark.

Thanks for uploading this! It's good to see footage from the show! A Lotta Locamotion and He Whistles At Me! A couple of my favourite songs along with part of Freight and I noticed a second of AC/DC at the end!

Caron Cardelle, the 1994 Dinah, was so severely injured during one performance, that she had to completely retire from performing. She sued the production company, claiming they'd failed to keep the stage floor safe for use. Though the floor had been more slippery than usual on the day in question, the court ruled against her.

I remember reading about that back when I was looking into the London show. It's not unheard of for something like that to happen, but I do feel bad for her. Didn't she claim it was some lint or something from an air conditioning vent that she'd slipped on?

[@CaseyBlizzard]

@@CallMeRedon yes, that's right. She said she tried to use her toe stop but it didn't work because there was a piece of fluff on it. Her legs flew out from under her and she fell backwards quite hard.
