Comments: I saw the musical first at the theater and heard the phantom there, but he did not even come close to the power and strnegth that Michael put across on the cd.

Comments: If a movie on the Phantom of the Opera is truly and finally to be made, I believe the studio should do anything possible to maintain the originality of the film by casting both Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman. It will pay off in ways unimaginable for everyone involved. Thank you!

Comments: I can't begin to picture a movie of The Phantom of the Opera without the amazing talent of Michael Crawford. He captivates his audience and brings so much to the Phantom's character... Crawford IS the phantom. Nothing can change that in the hearts of Phantom fans around the world.

Comments: Ohmigod, what a site. But after the reviews of DOTV, all this may be in vain. DOTV got TERRIBLE reviews, and Michael the worst ones also. I know we are all in denial here, but what becomes of him and our campaign? All for naught, huh?

Comments: What made the Phantom of the Opera big?
It was the beautiful voice of Michael Crawford. It has always been my dream to see him perform in the Phantom of the Opera. I'm not the only one that feels this way, my friends do as well. We are all in the age group of 17-25, the ages that make the movie industry big. Michael started it, so why can't he end it. You can't use the excuse that he is to old, because as the role of the Phantom you were alot of makeup.

Comments: I LOVE THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA! I mean, i can't get enough of it. I have the CD, seen the play (might get 2 see it on Broadway again with my bff!), and i have music globes of it! lol... And i think it is a shame that they'll probably have Antonio whatever (lol) play the Phantom!!! Michael Crawford SO deserves that role! He is the one and only TRUE PHANTOM and i will support your petition to get him to recieve the role as the Phantom of the Opera! :) It's so stupid that they didn't ask him to be the Phantom! He's the best! His voice - sweet, soft, persuading- fits the Phantom perfectly... Antonio, on the other hand, sounds like a donkey! :) I'd be scared if i was Christine too, having a Phantom that squaks like a donkey! Haha! (THEY MIGHT GET DREW BARRYMORE TO PLAY CHRISTINE! THAT'S PRETTY BAD TOO! AHHH!!)Well, i hope you guys succeed in your efforts! Remember, email me anytime because i will support you! Talk to ya later maybe!Bubye! (NOTE: i dont know why there are flowers following my mouse on my phantom of the opera site - ignore that lol- i'm trying to get rid of them)

Comments: Many people don't know that in film "My Fair Lady" Audrey Hepburn wasn't singing(sorry, forgot the name of the real singer).
You want only Michael voice, don't you?
So... Why cant he sing, and A.B. play?
Also I would like to add: A.B. is an "intellectual" actor. If one does not believe me then he must see one of the Spanish fils with him. The only problem is that his voice is not enough for this role.

Comments: All I have to say is that I will have seen Phantom of the Opera twice in April and in between my going to see it I live breath and sleep Phantom and Michael Crawford (along w/ Ted Keegan) and if they do cast Antonio Bandaras to be the Phantom in the movie it may get money just because he's a pretty boy but I think you will notice that the only people that will go will be non phans and u will lose out on the true phans that keep these websites alive! Dont make the mistake of getting a loser to play the part, get someone with an actual feeling of the character to play the part, like MC. Also if these big shots want a movie so bad why dont they just tell Mr Webber to release the actual tape of it like he did with Jesus Christ Superstar and Cats just to name a few, then all can be happy and you wont have the chance to destroy the best musical ever!

Comments: I am a huge Phantom of the Opera Phan. I saw the show for the first time this past august. I absolutely loved it. So this movie that might be made, is it going to be an animated one? Or is it going to be with actual people playing the roles as if you were seeing it live? This sounds very interesting. I am excited to see the outcome.

Michael Crawford is -THE- Phantom... There is no doubt about it. Long live both Michael Crawford and the spirit of Erik, the Phantom of the Opera!

Comments: I had recently seen the DVD for Andrew Lloyd Webber's 50th birthday at the Roayl Albert Hall, in which I saw the performance of 'The Phantom of the Opera' song by Sarah Brightman and Antonio Banderas.

I was hoping it would be a reasonably good performance, but boy was I wrong! I was absolutely disgusted by the way Antonio was singing!

I have never seen any performances of TPOTP with Michael Crawford in it. In fact, I never even knew there was such a performance until I bought the soundtrack out of curiosity (with Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford). I feel in love with the Phantom almost instantly, and like others, I have also developed a taste for classical music and other tastes which I considered strange at first. I even have the radio channel for classical music constantly on in my car, even though my mother and brother absolutely distests it.

Actually I'm slowly getting my brother hooked on TPOTO. He only likes the one song 'The Phantom of the Opera' but when he heard the Antonio and Sarah version, he immediately wanted to listen to the Michael Crawford version. Now, that is strange for someone who liked ONLY Science fiction previously and absolutely detested any type of show/performance that had music in it.

So if that little bit of information helps in some way, it would be wise for the true, original, absolutely spell bounding actor (A.K.A. 'attractive idiot'), Michael Crawford to play the role of the Phantom in the movie.

If that information didn't help, I could fill this guestbook with a number of other people who find so much pleasure in Michael Crawford's voice.

Speaking about the Royal Albert Hall concert, I also forgot to mention about Michael Crawford's 'in concert' DVD which I own. While Antonio performed 'The Phantom of the Opera' song, he didn't seem to remind me vividly of the Phantom (he just reminded me who was... IS the better actor for the role of the Phantom).

However when I saw Michael Crawford perform the duet with Dale Kristien (pardon the spelling), I could see the Phantom moving about the stage by Dale. I mean, Michael was wearing a tuxedo throughout the concert but his facial expressions and mesmerisizing behaviour actually made you see the Phantom.

For us unfortunate fans who were unable to attend the performances, it would be nice to see a movie of the Phantom (with Michael Crawford in it) to make up for the loss.

While I am here, would anyone be able to find a lost penpal? Her name is Louise (another Phantom fan) and her address is: sunshine@iprimus.com.au

I have tried to get back in contact with her, but I have been unsuccessful. I am concerned as I haven't heard from her for many weeks. I wish to know if she is alright, please send me a message if you have information of her whereabouts.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. As in the words of the very man himself:
"I remain, gentlemen (and ladies) your obedient servant".

Let's all hope some good comes out of all these messages from the various fans around the world.

Comments: I have been looking for this Version for Years, my father and I had seen it air on TV and I have been trying for the last 10 years to find a copy to purchase. M. Crawford has made this the most memorable Opera in my life and I wish to pass down this interest in Opera to my four children. I think with M. Crawford cast as The Phantom he will captivate all future generations. No other person can replace the special Magic that he has cast in my memory from so long ago. I wish to see this again rather than just in my memory. Please make this a reality.

Comments: I knew Lloyd-Webber was knighted but when did he become Lord? I, too,would like to see a movie as close as possible to the original production and that would mean Michael Crawford. Crawford's voice is more seductive than Banderas'. Does Lloyd-Webber ever actually visit this site to read our opinions?

Comments: You are not going to find a more complete Phantom than Mr. Crawford. There have been plenty of Phantoms with better voices since he has departed, and none hold a candle to him. None can make the hair stand on our necks when singing "Music of the Night". Micheal Crawford IS the Phantom. There have been terrific Phantoms over the years; Davis Gaines comes to mind, but it doesn't matter. Everyone who plays the Phantom is compared to Michael Crawford and it is clear nobody will ever perform the role better than he. And what does star-status matter? The Phantom is going to be unrecognizable to everyone. It's a shame Warner Bros won't relinquish the rights to 20th Century Fox, who obviously have no problem with musicals: Moulin Rouge, King and I, Anastasia, etc....
If they want star clout Warner Bros can hire a name director and give another part to a star. The part of Raoul is difficult to play, but it is certainly easier to portray than the Phantom. Let Antonio play Raoul, just let Michael be the Phantom.

Comments: Micheal Crawford is the obvious choice for the phantom. He was the first one to play him in Webber's version. If his age is a problem, well, look in the original book by Leroux and you'll find that the real Erik was much older anyway. Micheal Crawford can sing the part and should. Apparently, from what I've seen on this website and heard from any phantom of the opera fans I've met, he's who the fans want. Ever since I was twelve and bought the phantom of the opera book for ten cents, I've loved it. But when I heard the play, with Micheal Crawford singing it, I really got drawn in. He should get a chance to touch others as well. If he was chosen to be the phantom the first time and was such a success, why not again?

Comments: I recently went to New York City and just had to go to Broadway to see "The Phantom of the Opera". I instantly loved it. I have seen Michael Crawford on a comedy show he used to be in and I have the original Phantom soundtrack. Michael Crawford is the phantom! You can hear it in his voice!
The Harry Potter movie stayed true to the book, why can't the Phantom movie stay true to the musical?
I can't see why they would want Antonio Bandares to be the phantom!
Michael Crawford IS the phantom!!!!

Comments: Hey! I would just like to say a few things (uh...can I only say a few things? No). I am what you'd call a "mental case Phantom of the Opera" fan. Though I like Kopit and Yeston's version (Phantom: The American Musical) far better then Mr. Webbers (if at all possible, get the CD an you'll know why) I do love Michael's voice. In fact, I believe his voice is as close to Erik's voice anyone can ever find (I believe if you mix his and Richard White's voice you'll have it)! So- what is up WB? Are you people, no offence, insane? ANTONIO BANDERAS?! Where'd you get THAT idea? I bet even if he tried his best, he'd never get anywhere near a French accent. He can't sing Phantom of the Opera. I don't want to think of him singing Music of the Night! It's supposed to make you nearly pass out of it's beauty, NOT make you want to pass out to get away from it! Michael Crawford is the NO-BRAINER choice!
'What little town hides a girl in a gown with a throat like a lark?'
(-Phantom by Yeston sung by Richard White, Erik) er...I mean...'What little town hides a man in a' ...er... 'tux with a throat like' ...um... 'Phantom?'
Okay, that one didn't work out so well, how about:
'And the best part I'm just coming to how the'll all applaude for you-know-who' (-Meg Bussert singing Carlotta in Phantom by Yeston) THE FANS WANT MICHAEL! Hey, even the MOVIE-GOERS want Michael! They want what they've been hearing about! Anyone who owns the full CD wants Michael! Can you say 'cha-ching'? So, WB, got anymore reasons not to choose Michael or are you going to be creative about it? ^_^ Anyway. This is a great web-site, and I'm off for more! Tata!

Comments: Great site! Though I'm not a big fan of Michael Crawford, or Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, from what I've heard of him (from an obsessed friend), he sounds like the best choice! I hope WB realizes that there are more Phantom of the Opera fans and Michael Crawford fans then Antonio Bandera fans. In fact, I know some Phantom (from Yeston and Kopit) fans who are dying to see the movie just becuase it has the same...er...'roots' as Phantom (those fans include me). Though I like Richard White abouve Michael Crawford (and Glory Crampton abouve Sarah Brightman) I believe if WB chooses anyone else they won't have much money, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they lost more money then they made. Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed and should worse come to worse I'll boycot (ummm...maybe?). Good Luck, Mr. Crawford!

Comments: Hello!
I have seen the svedish version of "The Phantom of the Opera" 4 times between 1990-93 and the swedish singer Mikael Samuelsson acted as the Phantom. He was very well but can´t compares with Michael Crawford who´s voice sounds lika a ghost and is brilliant. I can find him in the same class as the swedish singer Tommy Korberg who acted in the original London production of Chess 1986-87.
Greetings from Mats!

Mr Crawford is Erik. He captures his soul, his pain, his love, his longing as no other has. In his voice, he brings us closer to the tortured soul that has lived on to touch our live's today and those to come. There can simply be no other Erik on stage nor screen, than Michael Crawford!

Comments: There has been so much fuss about who is to play the role of the Phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera". To be quite honest, we would all quiet down if Sir Andrew would just pick who he had chosen in the first place, Michael Crawford. If he was good enough to do the play version, then why not the movie? You say you want a big name, well, Michael Crawford is a big name. He is who made "Phantom" the success that it is and if your worried about bringing in money, Michael did that too. He made Phantom THE most financially successful musical ever. He is also quite handsome and has proven that he has the stuff to do the role. You do not have to change anything if you just give the role to Michael Crawford. You really have no reason NOT to cast Michael Crawford, so go for it and do what is right.

Comments: I completely agree that Antonio Banderas is very wrong to potray the role of Erik if they are to make a Phantom movie. Did anyone see the Andrew Lloyd Webber birthday celebration? Antonio sang the title song "The Phantom of the Opera" with Sarah Brightman during that performance and he was terrible. Not only did he hit wrong notes, but he also sang the song with a thick spanish accent! It was both hysterical and sad at the same time. Antonio's style may have worked in "Evita" but only because it was a film based in Argentina where spanish is the native language. Could you imagine the explanation for a spanish Phantom who was a native to Paris? Michael Crawford was meant for this role. He was the origional Phantom who won a Tony award for this role. Andrew Lloyed Webber hand picked him for this role after seeing him perform in another musical which I can not recall at the moment( I learned this from one of Michael's live concert CDs). He is the only right person for this role. As for him being too old for the role, has anyone ever actually read the origional book or Susan Kay's "Phantom"? Erik was not a young man when he met Christine. He was actually already in his late 50's by that time. Casting Michael in this role would make it more authentic as well! If Michael is not cast in this role it will be a slap in the face to all true Phantom fans who truely love the musical enough to speak up for what is right.
