Maywood has played Eponine at the Queen's Theatre, and she will next play Peggy Sawyer in 42nd Street at Leicester Curve Theatre.
James, Snook and Robertson have all previously starred in the London production of The Phantom of the Opera, and Robertson originated the role of Madame Giry in Love Never Dies as well. Welsh tenor Wynne Evans has sung as a principal at the Royal Opera House and with both Welsh National Opera and English National Opera. His debut album "A Song In My Heart" went straight to number one in the classical charts. Ukrainian-born dancer Polunin joined the Royal Ballet in 2007 and was promoted to Principal in 2010. The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall will be directed by Laurence Connor, with musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne, who also fulfilled the same duties on the original production. The production is designed by Matt Kinley, inspired by Maria Bjornson's original design. Lighting is by Patrick Woodroffe and Andrew Bridge, and sound is by Mick Potter. The original London production was directed by Hal Prince. It is produced by Cameron Mackintosh and the Really Useful Company Ltd.
