Comments: I think that Michael is a great actor and singer, i have to admit that i was a little shocked when i heard him sing on his album, compared to his role as Frank Spencer in "Some Mothers do 'ave 'em!" I didn't actually get to go and see him at theatre as the Phantom, but i'm hoping to be able to go and see him in his upcoming roles! Hopefully he'll do Phantom of the Opera again!!!! Pleeeeeeeease Michael!!!!
From a great fan!!

Comments: I just came by to lurk awhile and see what was going on and what a surprise to see the message board has taken a vacation! To everyone involved in running this amazing board especially our fearless leader, Di, enjoy yourselves, you have worked long and hard and are long overdue for this well-deserved break. For myself, I am going to miss being able to check in here every couple of days or so just to see what's new. I have made some incredible friendships on this board that will last a lifetime and for that I thank you all. Hopefully, the future will hold news of the making of the Phantom movie starring the one and only Phantom, Michael Crawford, and we can all come back here and celebrate.

This campaign has been a wonderful place to come and exchange news, vent our frustrations that this movie has not already been made, and made properly, or to just have fun. Already the PTB have lost the opportunity to make this movie with Sarah Brightman and the last Steve Barton. Will they now delay long enough to lose Michael Crawford, as well? If so, it will not only be their loss, financially, but we will all lose. I was not one of those fortunate souls to have seen Michael Crawford in the Phantom on stage but fell in love with the story because of the emotion he brings to the roll simply from hearing his voice on the OCR. I have hoped and prayed for this movie to be made with him so I could see for myself what everyone else has raved about for years and I will continue to hope and pray that his incomparable performance is not lost for all time.

Take care, everyone. You've been a part of my life for so long now I don't know what I'll do without you! But I'm looking forward to coming back someday, hopefully soon, and rejoicing that the campaign mission has been accomplished and sharing the experience of seeing POTO on film.

Love,
Kathe

Comments: Michael Crawford is once again demonstrating his awesome talent on Broadway and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that his name is a true box office draw. In reporting on his new show, the media still refer to him as the Phantom. Not the first Phantom or the best Phantom, but THE Phantom. He WAS the first and he WAS the best, and he is also the ONLY Phantom in the consciousness of the general public. If and when this movie is made, Michael Crawford should be the only actor considered for the lead. He was, is, and always will be the box office name in this role.

Comments: I understand that there is a video of Phantom of the Opera, just as there is one of Cats and Lloyd-Webber's birthday, but is stashed away in some sacred place where only professionals can view it and learn from it. Why, in Heavens name can't the video of Phantom be released so all of us can enjoy it? It makes no sense.

Comments: noody else can give the kind of spirit michael crawford gives as the phantom. any other actor would completely ruin the role. what makes a movie great isn't all the special effects, it's the people who play the parts. when you watch a great movie you arn't affected by how well the explosives are it's the person. the feeling and emotion you recieve from them. michael crawford falls into this catagory and he gives 200 percent when he sings. i truly believe that if you want to please the public and at the same time make money, choose CRAWFORD.

Comments: Michael Crawford is perfect for the role in the film version but I believe Franc D'Ambrosio would also excell in the part as well... I saw him as the Phantom in the San Francisco production eight years ago at the Curran Theater and he was absolutely brilliant. As for Christine Daae, Lisa Vroman, also in the same production I saw, should play the part. And after seeing him in MOULIN ROUGE, Ewan MacGregor would be ideal playing Christine's love the Vicomte. In terms of directing a musical film in this day and age, you will need a master... Baz Lurhman is given too much to fast-paced editing therefore quite possibly damaging the great, yet subtle momentum the play embodied. Therefore, an unknown genius should be given the assignment. I can't think of any big names who would be great at directing a musical for the screen.

Some of my friends and I know the the entire musical by heart(almost). We even have our own litle cast, not that we perfom or anything. Mr Crawford is a great aspect to the theater world, and I hope to see him perform live one day.

Comments: How can they contemplate casting anyone but Michael in the role of the Phantom? It just wouldn't be the same!! His voice is unrivalled, the kind that comes along only once in a while, and the Phantom is the perfect role for such a talent.
He's delighted us for so long on the stage, and on the Soundtrack, that's its obvious no one else could fill his shoes in the role.
Need I say more?

Comments: The first time I heard Michael was on the POTO Highlights album. I had never heard of him before, but when he did that laugh as the chandelier's coming down, I thought, My God who IS this man? Well, I was hooked after that. He sings with such passion and emotion, you can't help but love him. I hope he gets to do the Phantom movie-you know hordes of phans will flock to see him!

Comments: I'm not sure if I've signed this already. Oh well.

I am such a major phan and it definitely helped me through a difficult period in my life. Despite the fact that I am now engaged, I can still say truthfully that I shall forever keep Erik in my heart, because he (my fiance) is that to me and I couldn't ask for anything more in a man.
I would like to see the movie made for posterity. Nothing will ever replace the live show with MC, but I think if carefully done, it could become an outstanding film, but for this to happen, the finest actors would be necessary. I am so relieved now that AB won't get the role, but I would be ESTATIC if MC were to get to play he who has captured and enchanted our hearts. He has played him for years and know this Erik to the very soul, and that is irreplaceable. Also, his voice is divine, and is at its ripest point to play this character. Lastly, he's a brilliant actor. Please do that which is just.

Comments: This website is GREAT!!! I really think that Andrew Lloyd Webber's play version of The Phantom of the Opera should be a playwright, not a movie!! Warner Brothers can kiss my butt because I think that the magic created on a stage CANNOT be created on film,its impossible! Nothing is better than being in a performing arts center and having it all happen RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! The feeling you get when you hear the music and voices echoing all around you... and you really GET into the whole wonderful feeling and scene. Then when you get out of the theatre you try so hard to get back into reality..you think you are still in that scene. I LOVE IT!! I just wish Warner Bros would just leave the play alone!!

Comments: As the critic on your site said, I can't imagine a Phantom of the Opera movie without Michael Crawford. He is, and forever will be, the only person I think of when one says Phantom. I have actually seen the production three times - once on Broadway and twice with the touring company, and while each of those phantoms (regretfully, not including Michael Crawford) gave very fine performances (some better than others), I kept comparing them to Michael's performance on the Phantom of the Opera CD and also his performance of Phantom selections during his concert tour in which he performed Andrew Lloyd Weber's music. I don't think I would want to watch a movie that did not include the man for whom Mr. Webber originally intended the part. I have been so looking forward to actually "seeing" Michael play the Phantom (when I heard there would eventually be a movie made) that I am upset there is even a question that he may not be asked to reprise his role. I am sure there are, and will be, many people who share my sentiment and who will not be happy with anyone else as the Phantom in this movie.

Any information you can give me will be appreciated.

Comments: Michael Crawford is the most fantastic Phantom ever to take the stage. If they do not make him the Phantom in the movie, I will be sorely disappointed. I recommend, for those of you who read this, to boycott the Phantom movie if such an event occurs that Michael Crawford is NOT casted as Phantom. I intend to write a letter of protest and outrage to the WB studios, not that it will do any more good than the others, but perhaps there is someone out there with the eloquence and passion necessary to make these d*mn greedy sons of b*tches aware of what needs to be revered around Hollywood. It's @$$holes like them what make the world into such a dark place as drove the Phantom underground in the first place! You saw it yourself in the show: he was a deformed child used by money-grabbing psychos who wanted another circus freak for quick change.
DON'T LET IT HAPPEN, MY FRIENDS!!! BAND TOGETHER IN BOYCOTT IF THEY DON'T CAST MICHAEL CRAWFORD! D*MN WB FOREVER IF THEY DON'T!!

Comments: How anyone can even think of casting anyone else but Michael in the Role of Phantom is Madness and unthinkable ALW wrote Phantom for Sarah his then wife and after one of her vocal lessons he heard a voice that which he knew was the phantom and he was right WB need to take more than the script they need his stage pressense and the Power and not to mention his VOICE no other man can sing like Michael and nobody can play the phantom..........................So take note WB if you want a box office hit I think you know what you have to do....Cast Michael as the one and only Phantom...

Comments: I fully understand why the campaign was started! He belongs in the role, and no one else! If only words can show the Phantom's pain, he can! But he has the music! It's about the emotion! And he's the best of them all! What other reasons should you need?

Comments: Hi everyone.
I must admit that I haven't seen any stage performances or anything of Michael Crawford playing the Phantom. I have ONLY the three CD copies of 'The Phantom Of The Opera' to imagine what he would be like (as well as some images I have managed to collect).

I am waiting on some Bootleg videos about the stage performances, so Louise, if you're out there, I'm still waiting *S*.

Um... Where was I? Oh yeah, Michael Crawford should be the one to play the Phantom in the actual film. He is the only person who truly captures the heart, soul and the spirit of the disfigured tortured man. And if I can tell that by only seeing frozen images and listening to the CD/s, it's should be obvious to the necessary people who should take the role.

There is one thing I am puzzled by, hopefully someone could explain it to me. These frozen images of the stage performance with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman looked as though they were part of a movie of some kind. Were they? Why wasn't that film released? If someone can help me, please send me a message. If you don't udnerstand what I mean, please send me a message anyway and I'll explain it in more detail.

Michael Crawford is a wonderful singer, and I love hearing the CDs of TPOTO. I think I have almost worn them out or something because I love the voice so much. I also have five other Michael Crawford CDs which I bought when I discovered how much I enjoyed Monsieur Crawford's voice.

Anyway I better finish this message. I certainly hope that you all get this one wish of Michael Crawford playing the cloaked Phantom once again. May the spirit of the Phantom live on forever.

Comments: Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Warner Brothers, Antonio Banderas and/or any other actor who may be considered for the role of the Phantom: PLEASE do the world a favor and help get Michael Crawford cast in the Phantom movie. Certainly you cannot justify any other solution to this dilemma after SO MANY people have tried to convince you what would make the most sense for this movie. Michael will be sensational no matter when you decide to do it, perhaps when he is finished with "Dance of the Vampires" (Good luck, Michael, tho you won't need it!). Just get the job done, OK? You'll be happy with the results but, without Michael, I'm convinced you'll flop.

Michael Crawford is the only choice. I hope Andrew Lloyd Weber and the powers that be at Warner Bros. realize who the correct actor/singer is.

Comments: While I was studying at Berklee, in Boston, I went to NYC to watch the Broadway version. I already knew the musical because I purchased the London Original Cast 2 CD set (with Michael Crawford as the Phantom and Sarah Brightman as Christine). It's not my purpose to demerit the Broadway version, as I know it is outstandingly good, but each time I listen to my CDs, and actually I'm doing that now for a class I have to give tomorrow (do you believe in coincidences?) I cannot avoid feeling thrilled and moved almost to tears by the exceptional performances. Very few artists can really shake your spirit from a recording and, in my case at least, this is what happens with Michael and Sarah each time I listen to them.
My very best wishes to them and the movie project.
Sincerely

Comments: I am stunned. This site is gorgeous - and it's just what is needed these days. Antonio Banderas as the Phantom? Give me a break! He's a non-talented singer, an O.K actor with spanish accent, and waaaay to young and good-looking to convince me as the Phantom. He could, with strong doubts, be casted as Raoul, but that wouldn't be a dream situation either. (Rather a nightmare...). It's a reason why Phans all over the world have Michael Crawford as their no. 1 choice Phantom.
There is NO WAY I'm going to pay to see this Banderas-movie. If it's Warner/Webbers idea of how to make quick money, I have three words: YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments: I think that Michael Crawford is the perfect Phantom for the movie. It really worried me when I read that a lot of the music from the musical is being cut out. Why? Don't take the Phantom and turn it into some R-rated killing spree. That's not what Phantom is about. Please, don't mess with what is perfect already. Michael knows what he is doing and he has portrayed the Phantom so perfectly that no other could match him. It is not fair to take something that is loved by millions and turn it into a horror movie. I know I and all of my other Phans would be very disappointed.

Comments: Dear Phantom Friends,
We love the music of the original production and absolutely everything about it including Michael & Sarah. But even the youngest fans here all agree that "the guy from Spy Kids can't sing opera." This was said after viewing the Michael vs. Antonio clips of Phantom of the Opera on the website. From the mouths of babes!
We all like Antonio - but not in the role of Phantom.

Well there you have it from this fan!This is a note to help whatever effort that can be done to vote for Michael Crawford to be cast in the film of Phantom yet to be made. . . I won't watch anyone but Michael in the movie.

P.S.Trust me it will flop if the role goes to anyone but MC.

Loyal Phantom Friend
