Listen to Connor and Max go crazy over two very old horror movies, aka the best ones of the era.

P.S. We love Phantom and Psycho more than you guys and they are better than any of your favorite horror movies from this era ;)

When Earl Carpenter left The Phantom of the Opera 12 years ago, he had completed over 1000 performances in the titular role. Now, having performed the role on tour, sung the songs in concert and played various other roles since, Earl Carpenter has returned to Her Majesty's Theatre for a limited time to play The Phantom. In this special interview, we hear what attracted Earl back to the hit West End show over a decade after his last run in this production. He remains humble throughout the conversation, describing the experience as extraordinary, returning to the same dressing room and facing a standing ovation at the end of each performance.

For many fans, Earl Carpenter ranks as one of the most special Phantoms having played so many performances in the past. His return marks an exciting time in the production's history as the show continues to play to enraptured audiences each week. In this interview, Earl also talks about his experience as a producer with Ginger Boy Productions as we discuss the challenges that the theatre industry is currently facing. 

Earl Carpenter plays The Phantom of the Opera until Saturday 1st April.

This week on Legends & Spirits we’ll celebrate the legacy of one of the freakiest foes to haunt the stage and screen... The Phantom of the Opera! His torrid tale has been spun by many for over a century and may even be based on true events (well, sort of).

In this week’s Macabre Mixology, in honor of the Paris Opera House, we’re batching up an angelic adaptation of a classic French Cocktail that was created behind one of the 'bloodiest' bars in Paris.   

In our Spooky Saloons, we’re going back in time for a 2-fer, that’s 2 watering holes that are soooo creepy, you could find yourself bellied up with a dead relative, drinking on a coffin or being served by the devil himself!

This episode we are joined by performer Ali Ewoldt!  Ali made her Broadway debut in the first revival of Les Misérables and later became the first Asian-American actress to play Christine on Broadway in Phantom on the Opera.  Ali talks about her life working in theater, the lessons she has learned along the way and the importance of mental health for performers.

Originally from Burry Port in South Wales, John has released 6 studio albums, worked extensively in theatre and has appeared on television, radio and in concert all over the world.

At the age of 19, John left Wales to study acting at the prestigious Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London. Since then he has worked as an actor and singer in theatres all over the country in a great number of different shows. However, he is probably best known for his acclaimed record-breaking performances in Boublil and Schonberg’s Les Miserables and in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera. He remains the youngest actor in history to have played Jean Valjean in Les Miserables (a role he also played twice on Broadway), was voted the “Best Ever Valjean” and “Best Ever Performer in Les Miserables" by fans of the show worldwide and can be heard as Valjean on the Les Miserables Live! album. His re-interpretation of the character on the re-imagined 25th anniversary production earned him a Manchester Evening News Award for Best Actor in a Musical in 2010. He has played The Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera nearly 2000 times (more than any actor in the show’s West End history) and was a special guest in the finales for both the Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera 25th anniversary concert events – both seen by a global audience of millions. He has also appeared many times on television and radio in the UK both as an actor and as himself, has recorded voiceovers and audiobooks, presented radio shows and live events, has directed and produced live events and has performed solo concerts all over the world in venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, London, Carnegie Hall, New York and the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow. He has released 6 solo albums and two compilation albums -which he also produced - through record labels Sain Music, Sony Music Japan and his own label JOJ Music: Hallelujah e.p (2006), John Owen-Jones (2009), Unmasked (2011), Rise (2015), Music of the Night (Japan-only compilation 2016), Bring Him Home (compilation 2017), Spotlight (2019) featuring The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and most recently The Christmas Album (2021). 2022 will see him launch a theatre based podcast called The Last Show On Earth.
