The wonderful thing about ALW's Phantom is that it is an international show. It's played everywhere from Mexico to Belgium, Germany to Japan. Oftentimes, they will re-use costumes from one show and use them in another run, even in another country. I adore the Canadian "Wishing" gown but also love the UK version as well. However, with having a musical that is so popular and has played in so many different countries, it gets confusing as to which costume came from where...lol Comes with the territory I guess. Sometimes I can spot a particular costume and figure out if it was originally from London or Germany, etc. Quite honestly though, the "queen" of having the perfect eye and catching certain details- then able to point out which costume came from what country: that's Anea hands down! She's amazing and such a nice person. :-) If I ever have a question about Phantom, I go to her!
Check out her website:

These are a cluster of photos that I have come across- they are different versions of the "Wishing" gown that I really, really like.
And finally here are some non-replica "Wishing" gowns- the non-replica ALW Phantom productions have the same musical score, however, the sets and costumes are different. (This is the Hungarian production(s)~
