I think
Michael should be in the Phantom of the Opera movie because he is
the original Phantom, and he is the best performer who has played
the Phantom on stage. He has such a wonderful voice and he is so
emotional as the Phantom! It would make me so very happy to see
Michael in his role as the Phantom again!

I
believe Mihael Craford should play the "Phantom" in the movie. His
age should have no bearing on this decision as the character is an
older man and as far as I am concerned he is the only choice. I
really don't think I would go to see it otherwise.

Michael
created Phantom, his heart and his soul are his. Phantom is
ageless, as is love. No one understands this role or can sing it
better than Michael Crawford. He is The Music of the Night.

PLEASE
NOTE: MICHAEL CRAWFORD WAS BORN TO PLAY THE PHANTOM. I SAW HIM 4
TIMES AS PHANTOM AND IT IS TRULY UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANYONE ELSE TO
BE CAST. ANDREW USE YOUR COMMON SENSE AND DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT
ANYONE ELSE. I WILL BOYCOTT THE FILM IF MICHAEL IS NOT CAST. HE IS
THE PERFECT AGE. HE HAS THE PERFECT VOICE AND HE IS THE PERFECT
PHANTOM. THE THOUGHT OF ANTONIO BANDERAS PLAYING PHANTOM IS
RIDICULOUS. THE MAN CAN BARELY BE UNDERSTOOD WHEN HE SINGS AND
SPEAKS. A SPANISH PHANTOM??? I DON'T THINK SO. IF U WANT A HIT
FILM, MICHAEL CRAWFORD IS YOUR MAN. BY THE WAY,WHILE ON THE
SUBJECT OF CASTING, SARAH BRIGHTMAN IS STILL GORGEOUS AND IS TRULY
CHRISTINE. BE SMART. DON'T SCREW UP SOMETING THAT PHANTOM FANS
HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR: A GREAT FILM.

Mr.
Crawford gave an award winning performance in the stage show POTO.
Many could not get to Broadway or LA so have never been priveleged
to see him perform in this role. Why not pick a known winner for
the role rather than risk someone new? And what does age have to
do with it? I thought we, long ago, stopped age discrimination in
our society!! I have no doubt that Mr. Crawford could give as
great a performance for the movie camera as he did on stage.
Please, don't make a mistake and ruin the role of the Phantom by
using someone else.

Hello
again
If there are other people from Belgium visiting this site you
may always contact me at my email adress.
And something else on the subject of Antonio Banderas as
Phantom. When I watch the video of the 50th birthday party for
Lloyd Webber at the Albert Hall in London and I come to the part
where Antonio sings (what some people who are deaf call singing)
"Phantom," I fast forward the tape and cry out, "Please Lord take
this cup away from me for I don't want to taste this poison." This
line should sound familiar for Lloyd Webber fans.

I want
to say only this in favour for Michael as Phantom. I've seen
several versions of the phantom and the only one that still gives
me the most thrills is the original London Cast cd. I was too
young to see Michael live on stage as Phantom. All the other
phantoms were just reaching Michael's ankles. But a few years ago
I was attending a Michael concert in London and there he sang
Music of the Night and the title song from Phantom without make-up
and it gave me a thrill. And another point: think of Rex Harrison
in My Fair Lady the film version. He was old for the part but he
was and still is the best Prof. Higgins ever. And on the economic
point: If the film version of Phantom is with Michael I'm going to
watch it a lot of times with every friend separately so I can go a
lot of times. But if it is someone else in the part, and no matter
who, I'll tell everyone not to go as a boycot. I even will be
prepared to go and protest in front of the theatres where the film
is playing. PLEASE NOT A SECOND JULIE ANDREWS STORY.

Lord
Lloyd Webber, Phantom of the Opera is my favorite musical and
probably always will be. Despite (or perhaps because of) having
seen it on stage in both Chicago and London, I am thrilled that
the prospect of a movie version has been rejuvenated. However, I
must point this out to you: if you are planning on casting Sarah
Brightman and her beautiful voice as Christine, then it wouldn't
be fair not to cast Michael Crawford as the Phantom! Sarah has
aged the same number of years as Michael, so that reasoning simply
doesn't hold water. And if Steve Barton were still alive, I would
want him to play Raoul as well. You need this movie to do justice
to this wonderful show, and Michael playing the Phantom will do
this far better than Antonio Banderas would. Antonio is a
wonderful actor and talented singer, but he's too pretty to play
an ugly character, and his Spanish accent, sexy though it may be,
would ruin the effect of the music. If you want an actor with sex
appeal in the movie, then do that for the role of Raoul, but by
all that's sane and logical, keep Michael Crawford as the Phantom!

The
original Phantom of the Opera is 40-50 years old at least by the
time he sees and falls in love with Christine. The play covers
maybe the last six months of his life.
There is no reason at all to cast someone young as the
Phantom.. and there is every reason to cast Michael Crawford.

Michael
Crawford IS the Phantom no doubt. His voice is unprecedented and
more mature and refined than any of the rivals Sir Lloyd-Webber
has proposed. The role of Erik needs such a refined voice to
represent the years of torture and desparation endured by the
character to never be able to realise his stage potential due to
his hideous deformity. Age knows no boundaries, looks dont count
when they are masked by makeup in a role. Michael IS the phantom
hands down. There is no other.

I've
seen Phantom in Atlanta, but it wasn't with Micheal Crawford. It
was wonderful, but once I heard Micheal on the CD, I knew I missed
something by not seeing Phantom with him in the role. I don't want
an action movie star like Antonio Bandares playing the Phantom, I
want MC to play the part!!!!

Michael
Crawford is a must. I recently saw him on Broadway and I was
amazed at how his voice has not lost its luster. He is singing
superbly. He is a MUST PHANTOM for the movie. You want a winner
like Chicago appears to be, you have to put Michael Crawford in
the title role. I said to myself after recently seeing him on
stage, "I'd love to see Michael in concert," and now is a chance
for another dream to come true. What a hit the movie would be.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Michael
Inspired Me Comments: I have been hoping from the time I got the
original cast album and then saw the production the one and only
time it was in Tulsa, OK and twice here in Houston, TX that it
would be made into a movie. Especially got my heart up for a while
on the Carson show--then ZAP nothing more. If they would star
Michael and Sarah and then film a lot of it in the Paris Opera
house, would be great. But most of all give it the "Chicago"
treatment and don't mess with the original story. Cause Movie
Musicals are BACK!

I do
not think any other actor is fit to play the movie role of The
Phantom. Michael Crawford brings such passion and emotion to this
piece that many others would lack. Including Mr. Banderas.
No offense intended, but I believe Mr. Crawford's vocal
abilities far surpass those of Mr. Banderas. We need someone who
is familiar with The Phantom, knows it, loves it. This leaves only
one choice for the role, and that should be rightfully Michael
Crawford.

I have
played my OLC CD's until one broke, I have seen POTO many times
with many different Phantoms. Michael Crawford still makes me cry
more tears and makes my heart flutter more than any of the others,
and now the only way for that to happen is while listening to the
CD's. He is the only Phantom my 83 year old grandma will listen
too. I think Lord Andrew Lord Weber will break her heart (and mine
too) if he casts anyone else. May this campaign bring RESULTS to
the loyal PHANS.

THERE
IS ONLY ONE PHANTOM AND THAT IS MICHAEL CRAWFORD. IT'S JUST
RIDICULOUS THAT ANYONE ELSE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THE PART. IF
ANYONE ELSE IS CAST, I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT SEE THE MOVIE.

The
role of the Phantom belongs to Michael Crawford. He's the one who
brought the part to life and should be given the role in the movie
production. I mean, honestly, too old? He is not too old. His
voice is just as wonderful as it was back then. If anyone else
should be appointed to the movie role I personaly believe that
they should not make a movie. It is the phans that bring in the
money and if Michael Crawford is cast in the movie then the
producers can count on bringing in more money than they would if
it was John Travolta or Antonio Banderas who was cast as the
Phantom. Crawford's played our beloved Erik for years and the
movie would only be right if the part was assigned to him. It just
wouldn't be right if the part was given to some pathetic wannabe.
He created the role and should be casted in the movie so his phans
can relive his performence again and again. Michael Crawford is
the one and only phantom. It's his part and should remain that
way. Too old my @$$. Cast him in the movie and just wait and see
how it does.

Some
people are worried that Crawford is too old and will have problems
caused by his hip replacement. Well I'm sorry but what does the
Phantom have to do in the play that would hurt his hip, unless
rowing a boat down a misty waterway would be just to much (ya
right). I mean it's not like we are trying to make the Phantom do
big dance moves like in Cats. Plus with all the make up on him who
will even be able tell how old he is. I say if his voice can still
cut it then he is THE Phantom!
Last note: what is with all this Antonio Banderas crap. I mean
yes he was good in Evita, but that whole story is set in Spain
which is where Banderas is from (or his relatives). Just imagine
"Music of the Night" or "The Point of No Return" being sung with
an Spanish accent. (chill chill) (and not in a good way!)

I think
that if Micheal Crawford played the Phantom then his work would
live on forever which it needs to. After all he was the best
Phantom who ever lived.

My
opinion about the movie:
"Michael...Michael...Michael." "MC as Phantom!" "For Phantom,
choose MC!"
(I think you've got the point by now...)

No
matter how old he gets, Michael is and always shall be the
Phantom. His voice is tragically divine and eternal. It's almost
sacrilege to even suggest that someone else fill the Phantom's
Mask. Mr. Crawford is the definitive Phantom!

"The
Phantom of the Opera" is the first Broadway musical with which I
ever fell in love. I don't honestly believe that any man other
than Michael Crawford could bring the same magic, emotion and raw
energy to the title role.

role in the film I have no intention of seeing it.

Michael
Crawford is THE Phantom! No way pretty-boy Banderas (even though
I'm a fan) is gonna replace him. No way, no how! Monsieur Crawford
has been playing our beloved Erik for years, he ain't gonna be
replaced by some Zorro! And if Banderas does replace Crawford then
I have a message for Warner Bros: SO IT IS TO BE WAR BETWEEN US!!

I would
so much rather see Michael Crawford get the part of the Phantom.
None of the others who have done the job well are as qualified.
His voice told me he IS the Phantom. And please, PLEASE, what is
this talk about him being too old? Isn't the Phantom wearing a
mask? Doesn't Mr Crawford appeal to all ages with his voice and
his sensitivity to the role? Do the people at the bargaining
tables know what they are doing by not making him the movie
Phantom??? I say NO! If this movie is being cast by anyone with
any talent themselves, they will not make this movie with
"matinee" stars like Antonio Banderas. I have nothing against him
personally, but he is NOT the Phantom.
The Phantom of the Opera is loved by millions and millions of
fans. While they may not all agree who the best Phantom is, they
all love the show, the story, the mystery, the hope. They look for
a real Phantom and not one who is asked to pretend to be the
Phantom. Please see the difference. If there is some other reason
that Michael Crawford cannot be the Phantom, at least know the
difference between an actor and a star. An actor is sensitive to
the image and a star is only an image. Michael Crawford is the
actor and, thus, the Phantom. It's the story that counts, yes, but
the story must be comprised of quality throughout. In this case,
those who judge the quality are the fans of The Phantom of the
Opera. Fan of Michael Crawford, Bruce
