Maree Johnson opened the premiere Australian production of The Phantom of the Opera in Melbourne in 1990 as a member of the ensemble and a cover for Christine …. later becoming the Christine Alternate. 
In the most wonderful serendipity, a couple of decades later, Maree rejoined The Phantom of the Opera - on Broadway. This time Maree played the role of Madame Giry - a role she relished from 2017 through to the closure of the production earlier this year.
Maree Johnson was a treasured addition to the STAGES podcast … joining us in March 2020.
