Comments: I've seen POTO 14 times, all in San Francisco and Sacramento. If Michael Crawford is not cast in his role, I will never get to see it as it was intended. I'm sure this is the case with thousands of others who were not turned on to the show when MC was gracing the stage. It seems a crime to me to disappoint that many people by "creatively" casting the movie. I keep recalling what a disaster Madonna was in "Evita" and how good the "Cats" movie is and how good even the concwert production of "Les Miserables" is. ALW, tank your ego and give this project to the man who will make it "GREAT".

Comments: Well, finally, Phantom is going to be a movie. I'm really excited. It's such a beautiful story, with wonderfully moving music. I'm glad it's going to be preserved forever on film. And, also, the general, non-theater going public will have a chance to see what millions of people have fallen in love with over the last two (almost) decades. My concern is casting. Whoever plays Erik, should be someone with the Voice of an Angel, who can move people to tears. He should be able to disappear into the role, so that we see the Phantom, not Mr. Actor. Of course I think Michael Crawford should play Erik; he made the role, he is known for the role. Even non-theater goers know Mr. Crawford's name in association with The Phantom. As far as age, in the novel, the Phantom is in his 50's. Mr. Crawford can easily pass for a man in his 50's. Also, he will be in heavy makeup and mask for the whole show. I really do not see how his age can be a factor. And, we all know that he has the voice and acting ability for the part. If a box office name is a concern, why not cast big names as Christine and Raoul? That would bring in many people and help expose this musical to a whole new generation. Please consider Michael Crawford for the role of The Phantom of the Opera. It would truly be a winning situation for all concerned. Thank you for your time and consideration. Nora Fitzgerald

Comments: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MICHAEL CRAWFORD, AND I THINK THAT IT WOULD NOT BE THE PHANTOM WITHOUT MICHAEL CRAWFORD!!!!! HE MUST STAY AS THE PHANTOM. YOU CANNOT HAVE A "PHANTOM OF THE OPERA" WITHOUT MICHAEL CRAWFORD CAST AS THE PHANTOM. AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE MUSIC, AS IT IS ENCHANTING AND CAPTURES EVEN PEOPLE WHO WOULD NEVER THINK TO LISTEN TO IT UNTIL THEY HEARD IT. LOVE, A HUGE FAN, NURA ADLPARVAR

Comments: ONE MORE THING! I believe that the film makers SHOULD NOT realease the film until the stage production closes because I do not want PHANTOM OF THE OPERA'S run to be affected. I would also like to apologize for a few of my spellig mishaps in my first entry.

Comments: I've been a long time fan of Michael Crawford. Sure there are other actors who have played the Phantom and out of the 3 I've seen they did their performances with 100% perfection. BUT no one would ever give that incredible being and humanity that Michael Crawford gave when he did the role of the Phantom. When I listen to his voice on my LONDON CAST RECORDING I can feel his voice and emotions go through every fiber of my being. I hope this campaign becomes successful with their work to help WB realize what a fatal mistake they would make if they didn't cast Michael Crawford in the PHANTOM of the OPERA film. Also I will be seeing PHANTOM OF THE OPERA for my 4th time this coming March and cannot wait as usual. My best wishes to this campaign.

Comments: I'm adding my name in the hope that the Hollywood bigwigs don't ruin this movie by putting anyone other than the rightful Phantom, MICHAEL CRAWFORD, in the role. He is the one and only Phantom for me. I've seen it a few times on Broadway since I saw it with him in the lead, and I must say, no other Phantom even compared to him. Please Mr. Schumacher come to your senses and cast Michael.

Comments: There can be no phantom without Michael Crawford. He is the only man for the role. Age, in this case, doesn't matter. While Antonio Banderas has a decent voice, he's no Phantom. Only Michael Crawford's voice can send shivers down my spine when I hear him sing 'The Music of the Night' and 'Past the Point of No Return'.

I do agree that a film of the stage presentation is the best way to go... or on a soundstage if it is done with the same integrity as the stage version.

Still... Michael Crawford is the only Phantom.

Comments: Excuse me, has anyone heard Antonio sing? He doesn't have the vocal (or emotional) depth to play the part of the Phantom. (He made up stuff with Che in Evita and that was not a huge success regardless of him being in it.) Michael Crawford is synonymous with the Phantom of the Opera. I have heard many recordings of 'Phantom wannabees' but I'm afraid there's only one Michael Crawford just as there's only one Phantom. It will be a bitter disappointment if the true Phantom is denied.

Comments: I don't need to see a big name actor like Antonio Banderas (who isnt' even all THAT big a name IMHO) play this character. That's not what will sell me a ticket at the box office. I need to see the Phantom played with the same beauty and passion he has been given on Broadway. Michael Crawford is the only actor to play this part. If one more name helps to persuade them to cast this film correctly, then count me in.

Comments: You are completely correct. I am afraid I have never seen the great man perform live, but I have listened to his songs and there is no way they can cast anyone who cannot bring such depth of character even to the studio recording. I say they should not alter the stage show, because THE STAGE SHOW IS WHAT PEOPLE WANNA SEE! Micheal Crawford is the only man who has ever come so close to being the Phantom.

Comments: Michael Crawford is the one and only Phantom. And i don't think that "Lord Lloyd Webber" has the right to say that Michael Crawford can't be the Phantom...even though it is his play. But if he made so much money with Michael doing the role of the phantom before, you would think he would jump at the chance to get him to be the phantom of the opera again!!!!!!! All i am trying to say is that if you want people to come see the show and you want the seats to be sold-out CAST MICHAEL CRAWFORD AS THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!!!!

Comments: Michael Crawford IS the Phantom. I have never seen him in POTO but I have listened to the CD many, many times. While I was in New York recently, I decided to go see the matinee of the show. I was really disappointed. It was not that the performers weren't very good; it was just that the Phantom wasn't Michael. The difference is tangible. Michael gave the Phantom everything that made him the character who enthralled so many people. Michael's voice is even better now than it was when he was doing POTO. He is definitely NOT too old to play the part. Just watching his hand movements and the way he walks in that fantastic manner as part of the role make him the absolute perfect actor to do the Phantom on the screen. If the studio and the people who make the final decisions want to win Golden Globes and Oscars, do the right thing---Choose Michael Crawford for the PHANTOM.

Comments: I've been in support of this cause since RUC announced intentions of casting John Travolta as the Phantom. Some roles can be feasibly filled by Hollywood names. This one cannot (ESPECIALLY BY ANTONIO BANDERAS!!! BLEEEEH!!!). Forget about Dance of the Vampires bombing. The people want Crawford.
