If The
Phantom is played by anyone other than the real thing (Michael
Crawford of course)I know there will be many many people skipping
it in the theatres and either not seeing it at all, or seeing it a
couple years later when we get it from the dollar rental store. I
may rent a non MC Phantom someday but I would never pay theater
prices and I sure won't ever buy it. As far as The Phantom goes,
if you aren't going to put Michael Crawford in the movie then
don't bother with the movie at all. Too many good stage musicals
have been destroyed by Hollywood already. Either do Phantom right
(with Michael Crawford) or don't do it at all is my vote.

I am
quite proud to say that I am a very huge fan of both The Phantom
of the Opera and Michael Crawford. If/when the movie comes out I
will refuse to see it if they do not have Michael Crawford as The
Phantom!! He was the one who did the role when I first saw the
musical and he is a large part of why I am such a huge fan of it.
I am glad that there are others who feel the same way as me!

I have
been a fan of Phantom for many years. The first time I heard it
was the recording with Michael Crawford as Phantom and Sarah
Brightman as Christine. I have seen the play live with other
actors and it loses something. Please get Mr. Crawford to play
Phantom.
Sincerely, Martha

Why
would anyone even consider anyone but Michael Crawford for this
role? When you've had the best, nobody else will do. I won't see
this movie without Michael Crawford playing the Phantom. PERIOD!

I don't
know where to start,,the first time i ever herad of phantom was
when my mom played the cd,,,I loved it and when it finally came to
Columbus,Ohio, the one and only time, I finally got to see it and
i was mesmerized,I hated for it to end. When my boys found out
that I went without them they were very upset,,they are teenagers
and they wanted to go, so now we are waiting for it to come back.
I would go see it as many times as it were to come here. Best show
I have ever seen. Great job,,and if they make a movie we would
like to see the original, Michael Crawford. Kim Rizer

There
should be no decision for the role. Michael Crawford IS the
Phantom much like Colm Wilkinson IS Jean Valjean. Certain roles
were just made for certain people. Others can play them, but not
BE them

Carwford is the Phantom. I am not going to see the movie with

is NOT the Phantom.

It
should be obvious that Michael Crawford should play Phantom. No
one else can do it as he does! His voice, his acting, his
emotions. He is the only one who has the talent to let people see,
hear and FEEL that he IS the person he plays that time. And he is
the ONLY one who can let people hear, see and feel what the
Phantom hears, sees and feels. So have him play the role in the
upcoming movie! Okay, so he's 61 years old at the moment. So
what!!! He looks a lot younger and he can sing as no one else
can!!! And maybe I can also let you know that for Christine you
best pick Els Bongers (she is Dutch, but when I saw her playing C,
MY GOD!!! When she even thinks she hears the Phantom, panic gets
in her eyes. And her voice!!!! And for Raoul: Pick Simon Bowman!
I've seen him 3 times in this role, and he is soooooo very good!
He played out Grant Norman (who was Phantom at that time)! He IS
Raoul!!!). I've seen Phantom 26 times now, spread over 3
countries, but the actors above are the best you can get. And
Michael........ he beats everyone!!!!!!!!!!! Love, Ingrid

Michael
Crawford is one of the most exceptional singers of the current
generation. His voice commands power, compassion, strength, and
many other words which are simply indescribable. When I first
heard Michael's voice, I was merely 11. His level of achievement
gave me the strength to begin my own vocal career, which began
shortly after. Since then, I've been studying opera off and on for
almost 12 years. If it wasn't for Michael's exceptional voice,
compassionate heart, motivation, etc...then I, as well as others,
would surely be missing a large part of themselves bc ONLY Michael
can bring out with perfection the qualities of the Phantom. AS the
saying goes, "Nothing compares to the first time around".

Not
only should Michael Crawford play the Phantom, but Sarah Brightman
should play Christine and Michael Ball should play Raoul. Also,
"The Phantom of the Opera" for the most part is sung through by
the entire company. Think about it ... you have The Phantom,
Christine, Raoul, Meg, Giri, Carlotta, Piangi, Andre, Firmin, the
Chorus, the Firemen, the Auctioneer, and the porter. It will not
be possible to get a bunch of vocally untrained movie stars to
sing. Also, in this generation, when you mention "The Phantom of
the Opera," the average people will think of the famous stage show
as opposed to the old classic novel and/or the two old films
(including the silent film and the old black and white motion
picture). Therefore, those DVDs would sell at enormous speeds and
quantities if The Really Useful Groop films "The Phantom of the
Opera" in the same manner as "Cats" was filmed because Hollywood
will not ba factor in propper casting and for the first time, a
100% complete version of "The Phantom of the Opera" with the
latest version of the score, song lyrics, and spoken dialogs along
with "The Phantom of the Opera's" official dream cast will be
available on DVD!

Comeon!
MC has to be Erik. I've been a fan for a long time now and have
won over some of the worst skeptics I know into supporting MC. My
friends, mostly fans only as of this year, all threaten to boycott
the movie if MC does not star. I agree. So do the people I know
that refuse to admit they like POTO, and they certainly won't
watch it if any of the many rumored actors star. Sure I'm
sickeningly obsessed with Phantom but hey, that's what movie
rentals seven years later can help me with if I must see the new
movie and it doesn't have MC. One nice girl I know refuses to even
listen to any phantom other than MC. As far as the movie is
concerned, even a Banderas fan should support casting MC because
Banderas will not be right for this role and it would make him
look really bad if the movie was a flop. There is no reason not to
cast MC. He knows the lines, can sing, can dance, he could even
walk a tight-rope if the occasion called for it. He's played the
role before and knows what the audience wants. He has the
experience enough to make this movie a hit. Many people I
encounter have never read or heard anything having to do with POTO
think its a cheesy ghost story. Wouldn't they think so even more
if the casting is majorly screwed up? Michael Crawford has Erik's
voice and talent. He is the only phantom to be able to capture all
the emotions of Erik. They say that legends never die. But the
memory of Michael's preformance would eventually die with the only
(though many) people who have seen him. Perhaps we could truly
immortalize him and the Phantom of the Opera at its greatest in
this film.
P.S. Can you imagine the soundtrack with anyone other than MC?
Esecialy Banderas?

I've
just heard about them wanting to cast a 'younger' phantom in the
Phantom movie and am not only appalled but mystified. If they've
even bothered to read the book then they would know that the
Phantom was originally meant to be in his fifties or if not his
late forties at the very least! And then there's the fact that the
phantom is meant to be disfigured! I mean when he isn't wearing a
mask his face is supposed to be deformed beyond recognition anyway
so what's the point in casting some young, handsome pretty boy to
play him? What I think is part of the Phantom's appeal in the show
is his maturity. A younger actor cannot hope to sing in quite the
same manner as a slightly older man. However hard he tries his
voice must always betray signs of his age thus making the
character of the Phantom that little less credible. Oh and one
more thing: Surely if their main target audience is Phantom fans
then they should realize that these people enjoy going to the show
so much that any major alteration from the way the show is
portrayed is bound to have a negative impact on the fans? Or are
they just stupid? They should take a leaf out of the people who
made The Rocky Horror Picture Show's book and cast the actors who
managed to make the show so fantastic in the first place which in
Phantom's case means MICHAEL CRAWFORD!

To "the
powers that be": Concerning the proposed Phantom movie: Yes, the
Phantom of the Opera has a built in fan base-but it is these fans
that want the original story with the original phantom-Michael
Crawford. You have proven success with the original-it cannot be
improved upon with a younger phantom. In the book the phantom is
at least in his 50's. Michael Crawford has the voice that has that
special something-so that we can understand why Christine is drawn
to the phantom in the fist place.

Hi, I'm
from Spain. I love very much The Phantom of the Opera... I have
the original score, the book, I've been in Paris, at the Palais
Garnier.... I always liked all about the Phantom, everything. I
want to see the new film about the musical, and although an
Spanish actor is referred to be the Phantom (Antonio Banderas,
which I think has the perfect age) I really love Michael
Crawford's voice, so.... I want to see the movie as soon as
possible with the main role played by the truth voice: mr.
Crawford. Kisses.

Michael
Crawford is one the only phantom in my book. I have seen others do
the role and they were great but, he is the best. So why not have
the best Phantom of them all. People who have seen him on stage
will be drawn to see him on the big screen!!!

Hello
Mr. Schumacher: I had written you a letter some years ago, when
you were chosen the 1st time to direct the movie of Phantom. At
that time my request to you was simple, to cast Michael Crawford,
in the lead role, as he is the ONLY Phantom who can evoke such
emotions from the movie going public, as he did with the stage
version. The world has heard the orginal cast album and fell in
love with Michael's magical and glorious voice. If you want the
same reaction, as was experienced when he did the production on 3
world stages, my opinion and advice to you is to cast NO other
actor of the day, or peformer for the part, than Mr. Crawford
himself. If you cast someone else, the movie is going to fizzle
big time. The price for admission is Michael Crawford.... Mr.
Schumacher, Christine is looking for a Father figure, to replace
the father she had lost in death. Not a brother, and that is
exactly what you suggested in your interview with the Sun Times in
Chicago. You promised me back then that your only choice for
Phantom would be no other than Michael Crawford. Mr. Schumaucker,
please keep your word. Thank you, Joyce Cebular

I could
never imagine anyone else playing the role of the Phantom other
than the man behind the music, Michael Crawford himself. How can
anyone think of casting someone else for this role??? It won't get
a dime of my money if Michael isn't the man. NO WAY. Michael, you
are the one, no one could ever fill your shoes.

Think
OSCARS!!! - Please remember the MULTIPLE awards Michael Crawford
won for his role as "The Phantom" - maybe that will entice you to
bring him back - not to mention that there would most likely be A
LOT of time (and MONEY) saved in the filming due to his experience
and familiarity with everything regarding the role.

It's
really so VERY tiring and sad to see the resistance we
Phantom/Michael Crawford fans must tolerate regarding this issue
of having to fight SO HARD to be heard, considered and given a bit
of thought from the people holding "the keys" to the casting of
the "Phantom" movie.
WHY can't the OBVIOUS be acknowledged and recognized by these
people??? The patrons of the movie (the fans) are the ones who
will (or WON'T, if it isn't Michael as the Phantom) be spending
OUR HARD EARNED MONEY to see this film. I just cannot comprehend
the logic behind this - do they think a three year run (in three
different parts of the world) of daily SELL-OUT crowds was a
fluke??? Can the casting director not see what a HUGE money-maker
and BLOCKBUSTER it WILL BE with Michael Crawford as the Phantom???
It makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE to me.
And as far as a "younger" Phantom...HA! Try to find ANY Phantom
movie that has a 30 year-old Phantom!!! It would not only look
RIDICULOUS, but it would certainly NOT be believable.
Mr. Schumacher, what would the HARM be in having Michael do an
audition for you??? - Hey, if he can't cut the mustard (yeah,
right!), then fine, at least the fans will be sated in your having
given him consideration. But at least give the man his due - if it
weren't for him being the original Phantom, do you even think
there would be this much interest in the movie and its casting???
I sincerely doubt it.
Forgive my audacity and the tone of this letter, but I am truly
insulted by the negative comments that have been flying around
against a man who has made this part a LEGEND!!! And whatever
happened to EQUAL OPPORTUNITY??? Let the best man have the part,
PLEASE!!! It's Michael Crawford or NO OTHER - and I'm willing to
bet that this will show up in your box office receipts. There are
a lot more fans out here than you think, sir. And we know what we
want. If this were put to a democratic vote, who do you think
would win??? I'll say no more.
Thank you for your time and patience with those of us who
happen to care enough to give you input on what will be either a
BLOCKBUSTER or FLOP. We're just trying to help.

Although I've never seen any live performance of The Phantom of
the Opera, I have listened the original cast recording, and also
all the songs from Phantom, sung by many singers, and no one is as
perfect as Michael Crawford as The Phantom ! (and also Sarah
Brightman as Christine of course !!!!)

imagine anyone would even begin to think that they could replace
Michael Crawford in the movie project! He is the ONLY choice!
Could you imagine any other voice....dare you trust the music of

the morning! GIVE US MICHAEL!!

The
"Phantom of the Opera" is clearly made for Michael Crawford. He
alone can make this film take flight.....HIs voice leaves us
powerless and all we can do is be still and beam at the beauty and
power of the music of the night..that he makes.... I have been
inlove with this musical since i was a 1st grader....please...if
you are going to make the movie......be TRUE to it.... IT DESERVES
RESPECT!

Just a
note to say that I am behind you 100% in pursuing the mission of
making sure the right person gets the part of the Phantom which is
the only person who deserves role, MICHAEL CRAWFORD. It just would
not be right if anyone else got to play the role. Michael is still
an excellent singer and actor and I am sure would be honored to
play a role that he became so famous portraying.

the movie version of "Phantom" by leaving Michael Crawford out of

wanted to sign-in and say that I support 100% Michael playing the
Phantom on film and only Michael.
I saw Michael in Baltimore 5 years ago and have been a fan ever
since Hello Dolly.
He's amazing. Simply amazing.
He is the only Phantom, and it would be nice if the film-makers
would take the right and necessary risk.
I hope they wake up.

composed this song, hope da fans like it and you clear your head
from it ALW. POTO Fans: (spoken) Gentleman, we have now sent you
several notes of the most amiable nature, detailing how the moive
is to be run, you have not followed our instructions, we will give
you one last chanece...
(sung)
Michael Crawford is now free for you, and we are anxious his
career should progress, In the new production of "Phantom", You
will therefore cast Antonio as Buquet, and put our Michael as the
role of Phantom. The role which our Michael plays calls for charm
and appeal, the role of Buquet is short which makes our casting,
in a word, ideal..
(hope you guys like it!)

Michael
Crawford should be the only man in consideration for the Phantom
role! To have anyone else attempt to portray the Phantom will
destroy the integrity of the show. Michael Crawford made the
Phantom; Michael Crawford IS the Phantom. To have anyone else play
this role will make the film cheap and not worthy of the title of
Phantom of the Opera. It will merely be a weak substitute for the
REAL thing.

Michael - the only choice, Michael created the role. He has the
voice, mannerisms, integrity & talent and was born to sing the
"music of the night". PS I've never heard anybody out-sing Sarah

I found
this on a Search for Michael Crawford. I have been hoping for
years to see a film version of Phantom, and praying that they
would sign Michael Crawford to the role. I truly hope that he does
play the part. I had the pleasure of seeing Michael in this year's
'Dance of the Vampires', and really wish they would release a
sound track of the play.

Crawford has got such a haunting voice - it's fantastic!!! I saw
Phantom when I was about 9, and although it was fantastic, it
didn't feel right with some other voice as the phantom. He HAS to
get the part.

I've
been fortunate to see Phantom of the Opera in five different
cities and I find myself comparing the performances to Michael's
recording on CD. Some have been close, but all fall short. Anyone
else playing the role of Phantom would be a BIG mistake. Michael
defined the role. Compare it to the recent remake of Music Man
that aired on ABC. I'm sure Matthew Broderick did a wonderful job,
but that role was defined by Robert Preston. The same could be
said for a number of other musicals that were made into movies.
Give the role to the person who defined it. In this case, the role
of the Phantom belongs to Michael Crawford.

After
seeing The Phantom of The Opera I was really looking forward to
the movie. While I loved the stage production, the person they had
play The Phantom was ok but he just couldn't sing Music of the
Night. I would love to see Michael Crawford playing The Phantom
unfortunately I will never see this here. When he sings you feel
all his emotion in the lyrics. He could be over 100 and I would
still love to listen and watch him. Unless he plays The Phantom in
the movie I won't even waste my money to go see it. We are the
fans, we are the ones who will make or break the movie and they
have to listen to us. Give us Michael or give us nothing.

I have
never seen Michael Crawford, but have heard nothing but wonderful
things about his talents, so I am looking forward to a movie of
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and won't be interested at all if Michael
Crawford is not in it.

Crawford IS Phantom. no one sings like him. his voice is

too is perfection

OK
guys, this is the deal. Cast Hugh Jackman as Raoul, ok? Catherine
Zeta Jones or Dale Kristien as Christine, ok? AND MICHAEL CRAWFORD
AS THE PHANTOM!!!!!!!! OK? It isn't that difficult. Can you not
see by the numbers how many people want this done right, with
MICHAEL CRAWFORD????? Why is this so hard????? We are ones who
will be buying tickets and videos and DVDs and CDs. And leave the
beautiful music alone!!!!!! Geeeeez, it's just not that
difficult!!!!!! TAKE THE BRAIN OUT OF THE FREEZER!!!!!!!

I THINK
MICHAEL CRAWFORD IS THE PHANTOM. NO ONE ELSE CAN PLAY THIS PART
BUT HIM. WITHOUT HIM THERE IS NO PHANTOM. AGE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
IF ANYTHING HE IS BETTER. HIS VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL AND I FEEL THAT
HE IS SIMPLY THE BEST. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS.

I think
that Michael should be Phantom in the movie. Yeah, so he's older
then he was when he played Phantom on Broadway, but the Phantom is
supposed to be old enough to be Christine's father, isn't he? And
I'm sure that Michael's voice is as wonderfull and captivating as
it was when he was Phantom on Broadway.

As far

anyone else play this role in the movie would be blasphemous.

To whom
it may concern: The role of Erik is a very challenging one,
vocally and theatrically. This part is worthy of someone who can
play it to its fullest. That is all that we, the fans, ask of you.
Many of us believe that no one could possibly play it as well as
the man who created the role, Michael Crawford. We could cite the
popularity of "The Music Man" by Meridith Wilson that was brought
to screen with the original actor in the part of Harold Hill.

Thus
far I have only heard Michael's performances on CD and already
believe that he truly expresses the role in his singing. I would
love to see him in the upcoming movie and belive that he would
truly bring passion to the role of the Phantom.

Michael
Crawford is Brilliant!! I personally saw him in 'Phantom' on
Broadway in NYC and also he starred in our own "EFX" show here at
the MGM on the Las Vegas Strip. Neither show has been the same
since he left the production. I heard Michael Crawford did his own
stunts at the "EFX" show.....and altho I came back three times to
see him (especially....!) alas, he had been replaced by someone
(who will not be named here). This man was so dismal in his craft
that I was sorely disappointed indeed. His singing voice was so
weak, the lead role had to be supported by the cast for the entire
show. Sad effort in comparison. I heard later that Mr. Crawford
had sustained a bad injury during one of his stunts on stage at
the "EFX" show and had permanently retired from show-biz (this was
some time ago and evidently untrue). I would be ecstatic to see
him playing the lead role in this movie version of Phantom.....and
not only attend multiple times....but buy any DVD and/or VHS
copies that may come out at a later time. Please let it be Michael
Crawford......I await his second appearance in 'Phantom' with
baited breath.......... His is the Voice of an Angel..............
