(Photos of my current favorite Erik for reference. I love how they do his makeup! The asia tour has some of the best costumes & makeup so far I feel.)
I've always thought of this. I've seen discussions of wether not having a nose would affect Book!Erik's singing, but never anything on ALW!Erik's lips.
When noticing the facial language of actors who portray him, some seem to do it effortlessly. Has anyone ever mentioned if it's hard for them to sing with the lip deformity? I've seen some productions recently (such as the UK and Middle east/European tours) tone it down a bit so I'm wondering if that's the reason. It really is one of my favorite details!

I also remember Hugh Panaro mentioning how he had a malfunction with the prosthetic in the kissing scene which is a whole other situation 😭

Air dry clay, acrylics, matte sealant

plus sad Hugh gif at the and cause he looks so funny 😭 <3

(photo creds to operafantomet on tumblr!)

it's such a small detail but I think about the Phantom's ring that he proposes to Christine with a lot.

Like it's 90% of the time a gold/silver signet ring with a large black round or otherwise shaped (i looove the kite shaped one Michael Crawford wears on pic 3 a looot) stone and he wears it specifically on the pinky.

I find it such a nice little addition to his wardrobe 😭

In my headcanon it belonged to his mother (due to the size) and he took it after her death to show that despite her hatred of him he still wanted a piece of her to carry with him, and then pass it on to his beloved one as it's a common tradition to be married with a family heirloom :'(

7rl with a pen machine!
