The Chandelier That Drops Fear | Venice Beach News
About this episode
The episode discusses the legendary chandelier named 'Gillian' that drops during performances, highlighting its design and historical significance.
The Phantom’s chandelier isn’t just set dressing—it’s a 2,000-pound legend, named “Gillian” to honor choreographer Gillian Lynne, that drops eight times a week to send shivers down spines. Evolved from its original oval design to a sleek sphere, this tech-packed marvel still channels Maria Björnson’s opulence with harps, beads, and lanterns, all lifted by a crew that spends up to 38 hours moving it. Each chandelier carries history—named after key figures like “Ruthie” and “Maria”—keeping the show’s soul alive while delivering that iconic, heart-pounding thrill every night.
