phantoonsoftheopera:Phantom Royalty: Michael Lackey (1993-2012)Michael Lackey was the rock of Phantom in the US. Lackey served with the Broadway production, the San Francisco production, the US National Tour, and played the entire run of the Las Vegas production. Lackey is probably best known as one of the most chilling Auctioneers, his deep voice setting an eerie mood at the top of the show. He was invaluable as an ensemble member - understudy for such lead roles as Monsieur André and the Phantom in addition to his regular track, and excelling in them all. When he took on the role of Phantom understudy in the San Francisco production, they went back to the source, using Michael Crawford as the starting point in shaping his interpretation. In doing so, Lackey’s was one of the few Old School Phantom performances still around in recent years.Lackey continues to perform in concerts as well as serve as Scenic Designer and Assistant Technical Director at The Croswell Opera House in Adrian, Michigan. -- source link
