| Considering the fact that he is one of only two African-Americans to play the Phantom (and the first) in its 30-year-long run, yes I think barrier-breaking is appropriate. | |

| Robert was the first, and fantastic. Norm was the second, but you may not be aware that the present touring Phantom is African-American: Derrick Davis, who is also quite good in the role. | |

| There was no barrier. If he was 50th person and 1st black actor, you could call that barrier breaking. | |

| There are still barriers all over. It's not just about one production or one show. And it takes more than one actor to help the effort. Guillaume was an important part of the break that is still in process. Period. | |

| Thanks, Chromolume. I didn't want to get into an argument but that's exactly right. | |
