They are joined by three of Australian music theatre’s most eminent performers, Maria Mercedes (Madame Giry), Simon Gleeson (Raoul) and Sharon Millerchip (Meg Giry the role she created in the original Australian production of The Phantom of the Opera). Supporting principals are Dean Vince (Gangle), Paul Tabone (Squelch) and Emma J. Hawkins (Fleck).
The ladies and gentlemen of the ensemble are Andrew Broadbent, Renee Burleigh, Colin Dean, Andrew Dunne, Giordano Gangl, Stephanie Grigg, Erin Hasan, Matthew Holly, Benjamin Hudson, Erin James, Adele Johnston, Claire Lyon, Kristy MacKenzie, Matthew McFarlane, Jessica Mechielsen, Meredith O’Reilly, Pharic Scott, Adam Rennie, Lisa Reynolds, Kathryn Sgroi, Ellen Simpson, Tod Strike, Brendan Yeates.
