The original Australian and later World Tour skirts did box pleated skirts, where the main motif was the flower pattern.There’s also an impressive horsehair braid bustle underneath. The US skirts are usually constructed with the top half in another fabric - a most period way of saving yardage on precious silks.Cool idea, but maybe just a tad too bulky as well as labour-intensive? This skirt was later inherited by Maria Kesselman, I don’t know if also went on to be worn by other early Christines. Unlike that worn by Sarah Brightman it was made of plainer taffeta trimmed with four broad and three narrower navy velvet trims, sewn on horizontally. Claire Moore’s original West End skirt.But here are four types that differs a bit from the standard ones. There’s multiple ways of constructing a skirt, and the Wishing skirts in particular has been made in many different ways. But thank you for reaching out none-the-less. For this reason I haven’t been able to answer the fairly immense amount of private messages I’ve gotten on various platforms.
My warmest hugs goes to cast, crew and everyone else who’s made original POTO in West End and on Broadway into the legend it is, putting heart and soul i to it, loosing their job in the most undignified manner. Now history repeat itself - they have been informed about the closing through Zoom, and only because a long-decided closing started leaking to the cast. For this reason I haven’t been able to enjoy the changed West End revival, and I haven’t been able to fully appreciate the original Broadway production’s reopening as I didn’t handle to get attached, knowing it too would soon be gone. From that day I knew Broadway’s days was also limited. I think my major grief came when CamMack axed the original West End production (AND fired everyone through Zoom, what a class act…). He axed Prince’s Vegas version without any obvious reason, he staged the RAH version without Prince (both of which Prince expressed surprise), and he’s pushed that dreaded restaged tour version ever since. I knew - I KNEW - it was a matter of time before Cameron Mackintosh would kill off original Phantom. There is a reason my motto has been «In Hal Prince we trust»
