Comments: I first heard 'The music of the night' on a bus trip to one of my band preformances. When I found out it was from the Phantom of the Opera I knew that I just had to see the live Broadway show. Sadly, I was not able to see the Michael Crawford version ( the ONLY suitable phantom) or any other live version but I was able to view some highlights of these shows on line.

The Michael Crawford 'Music of the Night' clip gave me chills. He became the Phantom and I became Christine. Even though this copy was unclear and choppy, it still managed to draw me deep within the Phantom's underground laberynth that he called home. I could actually feel what christine must have felt. I longed to free Erik from his lonesome past and wished that he was real.

Now, could any other preform the Phantom as well as Michael? I highly doubt it. Not when he actually put his heart and soul into ever preformance. Please make the movie adaptation as close to this original as possible, keeping as much of the same cast and score as you can. Modernizing a classic that's grossed more than 'Titanic' is ludacrist. Why mess with success. With Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman cast as the leads, this movie would certainly become platinum.

Comments: I saw Michael Crawford as "The Phantom" in Los Angeles.. and his version of Erik drew me helplessly back several times. After someone else assumed the role I was offered free tickets by a friend to go see it. I refused them. I have seen video clips of other talented people performing the role. But in my opinion..noone can be Erik but Michael Crawford. Casting Banderas is, of course, ludicrous. I don't need to sign a petition to know that I wont be inflicting that movie on myself. Such a pity.. Michael Crawfords performance will have to remain only legend to all who never saw it. I feel very very lucky that I did.

Comments: I personally haven't seen "The Phantom of the Opera" performed at the theatre, however I am definately a fan of the story that has enthralled readers for so long and caused a deep fascination with the passionate character of Erik. I understand why the people at Warner Brothers are doing this, however I do not justify it in anyway whatsoever selling out on faithful viewers is the ultimate greed. Antonio Banderas could never capture the spirit and the bitter sorrow of the Phantom, his mediocre singing couldn't evoke emotion the way that Michael Crawford does (yes i have the recording!!!) I support the people who are fighting to return the story of the Phantom back to the true fans and not the general public and their $12.50 movie ticket! (or however much it costs in your country) Oh yeah....Bring Pahntom To Australia!!! We're not all convicts running around trying to save our babies from Dingoes! (sorry if that offends anyone!)

Comments: Since I've been traveling so much this week I took along some of my favorite cast CD's to listen to in the car. Enjoyed it so much I brought two of them, 1776 and Camelot, to work with me today. I've been listening to them this afternoon and once again have been amazed at the contrast between these two shows when they were made into movies.

1776 kept most of its stars--most notably, William Daniels, Howard Da Silva, and Ken Howard--and when I watch the video each summer on or around the 4th of July, I marvel at how wonderful these actors are. Who would ever have thought of them as movie stars at that point? Daniels had been Dustin Hoffman's father in The Graduate but St. Elsewhere was a few years off. Ken Howard had yet to star in The White Shadow, and Howard Da Silva was just one of many competent supportng actors in the days of the Hollywood studio system (most memorably the bartender in Lost Weekend). Yet there they are on the big screen, recreating their stage portrayals of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson so wonderfully that I can't imagine anyone else in those roles. I thank whoever made the decision to use them in the movie from the bottom of my heart. For all time now I can experience what Broadway audiences did when they saw them in this 1969 Tony award-winner for Best Musical.

Then there's Camelot. What was so absolutely right on the stage was terribly wrong in the movie. Just now I'm listening to Robert Goulet sing If Ever I Would Leave You. What a voice...the hair is standing up on my arms! And was he ever gorgeous in those days. Still pretty good looking but the combination of his voice and looks could turn your knees to jelly back then. Richard Burton was magnificent as King Arthur. This was before Liz Taylor and he was at the height of his acting powers. At that point in time he could have captured an audience just by reading the phone book. And, of course, there was Julie Andrews. For her, the movie version of Camelot must have been like being raped twice. Hollywood did it to her with My Fair Lady and then turned around and did it again with Camelot. What a pale and pathetic imitation the movie was compared with the awesome Broadway cast. Even Hollywood's darling, Roddy McDowall, was overlooked; his role went to David Hemmings. I don't have the production information handy so I'm not sure who was responsible for the bad decisions. I know Josh Logan directed it and we know what he did to South Pacific.

Sorry for such a long post, but I get both very angry and very sad thinking about these two shows. One got the film treatment it deserved and the other one didn't. Phantom of the Opera is threatened with the same fate as Camelot and that makes me furious. If this show had been filmed ten years ago, as originally planned, most of its story, music, and cast would have been preserved on film. We would still be enjoying it to this day and Andrew Lloyd Webber and Warner Bros. would still be counting their profits!

Have now seen "Phantom" and loved it; however, there is NO ONE who can play the Phantom better than Michael Crawford. He IS the Phantom! I will not view the movie unless MC is in the title role!

Michael is the only one with the talent, experience and emotion to play this part to its full and make this movie as wonderful as the show. Please consider all of our pleas, as they represent only a *small* amount of the numerous people who love Michael Crawford as the Phantom!

Comments: Now that Michael has agreed to star in a new musical, you may realise that you have missed your chance to make the film a success. It would have been bad enough with AB playing the title role, but now your film is struggling (as apparently Ben Elton's score has been dropped)and you will have to watch with envy the outstanding success that Michael Crawford is going to have on Broadway once again. We did tell you to make him your star, you should have listened!

Comments: I just stood up, bowed to the east (toward England), bowed to the west (toward California) and gave a great big Bronx cheer in each direction. Take that, your lordship! Take that, movie producers! Michael Crawford is a 'towering talent" and the biggest name in musical theater. Guess you missed your chance to get him, and you made us miss the chance to see him in the movie we were all dying to see. This show is our second choice, though, and we are going to enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, oh boy!!!!!!!

Andrew wanted to change his show
And the movie guys said, "Yes."
Now Andrew's up the creek, you know
And the film's become a mess.

They said MC was not the star
That folks would pay to see.
Other men said, "No fools we are."
We'll pay him a monstrous fee.

He'll sing, he'll dance, he'll bite a bit
And sell out every show.
No doubt at all we'll have a hit
And bask in his superstar glow.

CONGRATULATIONS, MICHAEL!

Comments: I think that it would be a shame to sacrafice the movie to a Hollywood name. And if they would not, for an unGodly reason, not want Crawford, then they should at least consider another Phantom who's done it greatly on stage (such as Howard McGillian and Ted Keegan, who I've seen). True I have only seen a few video clips, but hearing him sing on the Cast CD truly does get one wondering how sane Warner Bros. is if they would consider anyone else but that man who brings music into our lives. And I'm certainly not talking about Antonio Banderas or John Travolta!

Comments: To any people who work at Warner Brothers co. who are considering having Antonio Banderas (Star in the infamous Spy Kids) to play the beloved role of the Phantom of the Opera. I, one of thousands of angry fans, would like to protest to such an abomination. I've heard that in the broadway musical 'Evita' Mr. Banderas was quite good, but the role of the Phantom calls for (1) an angelic tenor voice (2) a certain amount of dark romance (not hispanic) and (3)a certain presence. Michael Crawford, who I've heard is possibly going to be in the movie, managed to go above and beyond these requirements playing the role to perfection for 5 years. Recently at Andrew Lloyd Webbers 50th birthday Antonio sang the Phantom and was absoutley horrible. You have probably heard this many times before and I would like to add my voice to the masses that having a box office name other then that of Michael Crawford may actually depleat your crowds not double them as you suppose. Spy Kids made Antonio Banderas lose a lot of his popularity amongst the intended audience of this movie.
In closing I ask, no I beg you, since Michael Crawford is in your possession use him as the star!
Sincerely, Ms. MacAlpine, a devoted fan of the book and musical 'Phantom fo the Opera'.

The only reason why I love that musical so much wasn't because of the plot, I was young I wasn't able to understand it, but the main reason I fell in love with it was because of that man's voice. Well, he and Sarah Brightman. There is no other Phantom but the Phantom himself, Michael Crawford. That's the way it should stay.

He won't let Michael sing "The Music of the Night"

Let Andrew's mind finally make a decision that is right,
Otherwise this movie surely it will bomb!
I really hope Michael Crawford wins this fight...

Comments: There is no person that could play the Phantom other than Michael Crawford. Luckily, I have the tape to listen to. Unfortunately, I was unable to see Crawford when it toured.

Comments: Michael is the phantom and he will always be. To cast another guy is nearly betrayal. If not Michael Crawford then no film!
