Also on the concert: Dale Kristien, who is well-known for her record-breaking four-and-one-half years in the role of ‘Christine Daae’ in The Phantom of the Opera. Ms. Kristien first played ‘Christine’ opposite the original Phantom, on Broadway and they both premiered the Andrew Lloyd Webber show in Los Angeles at the Ahmanson Theatre. She subsequently continued in the role until the show closed. Altogether, Dale Kristien was featured in more than 1,700 performances – the longest running Christine in captivity and the only actress allowed to play the role for all eight shows per week, anywhere in the world.
