Talking of Phantom, John was called on unexpectedly to stand in for an unwell Earl Carpenter for the first night of the Phantom Tour in Liverpool on 26th February. After getting the call at midday, John jumped on a train and a few hours later, having not performed the role for five months and with very little rehearsal, was onstage at the Liverpool Empire Theatre!

John was in New York in January where he appeared in a special gala

performance of The Phantom of the Opera to celebrate the show\'s 25th year on Broadway. For more detail on the historic occasion follow the link! - Playbill.com
