How was Sarah Brightman involved with Hills Phantom?
Sarah Brightman has never been involved with Ken Hill’s Phantom of the Opera. She was offered the part of Christine in the 1984 production, when Hill’s Phantom came into London at Stratford East, but Brightman turned the offer down. Two years later, she became the original Christine in Lloyd Webber’s own Phantom musical. Christina Collier, who was an opera singer, continued in the role of Christine in the Hill version instead.
