If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to step behind the mask of one of musical theatre’s most iconic characters, you’re in for a treat. I sat down with Isaiah Bailey — yes, the Phantom himself at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre — and we got into everything from the show’s goosebump‑inducing music to the surprisingly hilarious realities of performing in that famous half‑mask.
Spoiler: he may play a tortured genius onstage, but offstage he’s pure joy, heart, and “mama raised me in church” energy.
Press PLAY to listen to our convo!
Guest: Isaiah Bailey, Phantom of the Opera actor
Show: Phantom of the Opera running through May 24th at the Paramount Theater
