Response to posting on June 3, 2003: The comments include: "I have
read Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera more times than I've
seen the musical. I've seen all the movies, even the foreign ones.
None of them pay their dues to the book like the 1925 silent film
and the musical. The newest movie is in production and is set to
come out in 2004. I will be happy with the movie if they get one
fact straight. The phantom's face was not scarred by an accident
such as acid thrown at him. It is actually a birth defect called
elephantitis, think the elephant man."
I agree with the person who posted these comments for the most
part. I, too, have read the original Gaston Leroux novel and LOVED
it, and the 1925 movie starring Lon Chaney is certainly the screen
version that has come closest to the novel (with the exception of
the movie's atrocious ending). Having seen the ALW musical 4
times, I think that it captures the spirit of the novel like no
other version-- stage or screen.
Referring to the comments in the aforementioned quote, it is
true that Erik's face was not scarred by acid but he did not have
"elephantitis" (sic-- the disease is actually ELEPHANTIASIS).
Leroux's description of the Phantom (no nose, sunken eyes,
protruding cheek bones, parchement-like skin-- i.e., a rotting
corpse)does not match the condition of elephantiasis, which is a
disorder of the lymphatic system that causes enormous swelling of
the affected areas, usually the limbs and torso and genitals, and
a thickening of the skin. In addition, elephantiasis is not a
birth defect; it is the result of a blockage of the lymphatic
vessels, (e.g., recurrent bacterial infections in the lymphatic
system). The Phantom would have had some type combination of
craniofacial deformities (such as enophthalmos/ dystopia, nasal
aplasia, and facial cleft) in addition to other afflictions. Also,
the Elephant Man had Proteus Syndrome, not elephantiasis or
neurofibromatosis.
A final thought: MICHAEL CRAWFORD SHOULD PLAY THE PHANTOM IN
THE MOVIE VERSION OF ALW'S THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, but I will
still give it a chance even if he does not.

when
they brought miss saigon to broadway, some union (or something)
didnt want jonathan pryce as the lead cos he wasnt asian. however,
cameron macintosh stood by him and refused to use another actor.
eventually it got to america with jonathan and the show was a huge
success, despite his race. the point is if you stick to your guns
and use the original star your show will get a better response,
and it doesnt matter about age, race or how big a name you are.
the same thing applies here. thanks for listening and btw HAPPY
BASTILLE DAY!!!!!!

I have
been an adament Phantom fan for yrs. Sarah Brightman and Michael
Crawford are the original cast and "what a pair!" There have been
many movies and none of them have been a success. Many people have
been looking forward and anxiously awaiting this masterpiece to
come to life. It will be a success, but only if WB listens and
responds to the public. I will NOT even give it a chance if it
does not include Michael; he has been the very essence and
inspiration to phantom lovers all over the world.
In all five productions I have seen no one, and I mean NO ONE
that captures the tears, the heartache, the jealousy and rage like
the original cast. You know true art when you are touched in many
ways, and true Phantom fans will have none other than Michael
Crawford and Sarah Brightman.

how the
bloody hell can u have a phantom movie without the star! the
original soundtrack is michael and sarah. thats what we know and
love so why deviate from this when all the fans will boycott the
film. we all saw what a hash antonio banderas made of the phantom
role when he sang it on andrews 50th birthday. he was so
mismatched to sarahs voice bless him lol

When I
first heard of the Phantom of the Opera I was 8 years old (I'm 13
now) and my older sister had the soundtrack to it, (and of course
Michael Crawford was the Phantom on the sound track) and I just
fell in love with it. When my sister was moving out I stole the
soundtrack, and now i listen to it every day! And yes I think
Michael Crawford should play the Phantom in the movie(even though
he is at least 60 years old) he has the voice and he is a
wonderful actor. Although I have never heard anyone else play the
Phantom besides Michael, I would say no one should play the
Phantom but Michael crawford!!

To me
Mr. Crawford is the real Angel of Music. I love his voice. No one
even comes close to him. I most definately know that Mr. Crawford
is the best to play Erik. He can sing. He can act. He knows how to
be the Phantom. If WB hires someone else then they will lose
money. The Phantom of the Opera is the most famous musical ever,
and just about every phan knows that Mr. Crawford is the original
Phantom. It will make a lot of people very upset if he isn't the
Phantom.

Michael
Crawford is an outstanding man who for many years expressed his
emotions through the Phantom. He moved many people with the
powerful words that he spoke and sang. When i had first heard his
touching most outstanding voice it touched me and I wanted to see
the play right away. And for the upcoming movie i am dissapointed.
i really do hope that they do not cut parts out of it like they
have done for other movies. The Phantom Of the Opera is an awesome
play, and Micheal Crawford should be the only Phantom.

I have
the original soundtrack from the musical with Michael Crawford and
he is absolutely spell-binding. I'm off to see the show in a
couple of weeks and hope that it lives up to the original
performances. Michael Crawford really would make a wonderful
choice for the film.

Yes I
agree -only MC can play the role!Only he has the ability. Unless
it's him it will fail.
Someone tell me why they've ignored him! To cast anyone else is
just plain wrong, unless they care more about money than
integrity. Perhaps they think we phans will go anyway. I'm telling
you, I for one am going to boycott. Doesn't matter how good the
reviews are.
This Gerard Butler - who is he anyway? Won't be as good as MC
that's for sure. And so to conclude: Terrific site - well done!
Shame it's all in vain....

Love the site!! Me and my sister were bored so we looked up our
favorite play in the world and found this. Didn't know there was a
movie coming out this soon, but HOW in the world can they shoot
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA without THE PHANTOM?!? PLEEEEASE,
Michael, you have to be the Phantom!! If you're not the Phantom
and some other Hollywood-wanna-be is, it just won't be worth
watching!!

I have
seen Phantom of the Opera in 3 different venues and absolutely
NONE of them compare with the production at the Ahmanson Theater
starring Michael Crawford.
Michael Crawfords range and depth of emotion simply blows the
"pretenders" away, there is NO contest whatsoever. Phantom without
Crawford is not THE PHANTOM.
The movie WITHOUT Crawford will never see me!!!!

Phans,
I am deeply saddened by Joel Schumacher choice for the Phantom.
This has been a cause worth fighting for. May Michael Crawford
prevail! Good luck to Joel Schumacher to try to come up with even
a pinch of the magic, wonder, and mystery that Michael Crawford
gave the Phantom. Mr. Schumacher, this could have been something
great, just don't throw away 100 million dollars. Keep fighting
Phans!

Michael
Crawford is the only man good enough to play the role. His voice
is perfect and if it is cast otherwise it'll be a cry and shame.
It should also be performed in the original (and by that I mean
London) production. And an even better thing would be to have
Sarah Brightman in the role of Christine Dia. I was raised with
this musical (literally), don't ruin it!

My
house is full of young people on a daily basis. I can honestly say
that none of them have any interest in seeing this proposed
version of "Phantom of the Opera".
I have friends all over the country in my age bracket (35-55)
who loved Michael Crawford in the Broadway/LA show and the
Original Cast Album. I can honestly say they also have no interest
in seeing this movie without Michael Crawford.
It seems pretty certain that the "Batman" fans will not come.
So, if TPTB have not interested the kids, have royally
alienated true fans of the show and are hated by the genre people,
just who do they expect to watch the bloody thing? The ushers?
Well, they have to, I guess, but they get in for free!
"TPTB" are taking a modern classic and a perfect performance
and sweeping it under the "rug", thinking the general public will
be too stupid to notice the difference.
But "TPTB" will be the ones choking on dust... From when their
audience runs in another direction.
Back to my OCR... Sing to me Michael! :) Audrey

If the
movie flops, here are a few ways to recover tromendously:
1. Market that hidden video of the original cast production
with Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, and Steve Barton.
2. Before it's too late and Michael Crawford is too old,
consider a complete filmed stage version with Michael Crawford as
The Phantom, Lisa Vroman or Barbara Bonny as Christine, and
Michael Ball as Raoul.

I first
saw The Phantom of the Opera when I was 16 years old and have been
an avid fan since. That was over 15 years ago and I'm still going
strog thanks to the beautiful voice of Michael Crawford who sings
the opera with such feeling from his soul that makes you feel as
though you are apart of the opera. I hope to see Michael as the
star and feel the movie would other wise bomb. It's not worth
seeing if Michael isn't involved.

When I
first heard about the "young cast" for Phantom of the Opera, I was
slightly impressed. Perhaps they will be targeting a young
audience. Perhaps seeing this movie will turn younger people on to
the beauty that is the story of "Phantom".
Then, I saw _Queen of the Damned_ on TV.
Same good story.. same company producing the movie.. same idea:
Young actors, hard rock, appeal to younger audience = watered down
MTV "shock rock" _The Lost Boys_ wannabe.
I would have hoped Warner Bros. would have learned from the
mistake that was made with Queen of the Damned and would have done
Phantom the right way.
I suppose we'll have to see.

If ALW
and JS insist on believing that a younger actor than the actor
whose name is synonymous with " The Phantom of the Opera " to
millions of people would be more popular as the Phantom, I have to
wonder, " Is the name 'Klinton Spilsbury' familiar to them?" I'll
bet not, but I'll bet they know the name 'Clayton Moore'.

My
sister and I grew up listening to Michael Crawford as the phantom.
no one else i have seen or heard as the phantom can compare with
his performance. Even just listnening to his performance you can
feel him put his heart and soul into it. all i can say, from what
i've heard they're doing to it, is that this movie will BOMB. Who
do they think is going to see this movie, High school kids who've
probably never even heard of POTO let alone the that it was a
musical. No the Phans of the musical who have heard, seen, and
fallen in love with this tragic love story of a disfigured man and
the young singer he falls in love with. I can only wish them
luck(they are SOOOOO going to need it).

i just
want o saythat i too will be staying home whenthis movie comes
out. I am outraged that they would change such a beautiful and
entrancing story. and michel crawford not having the part is an
insult indeed. I remember when the play came out I was seven and
if i remember correctly sarqah brightman was in hert hirtys
playing a so called yuoung christine and micheal as the aver so
brilliiant part of the phantom and did anyone care how old they
were? absolutley not because the played the parts so beutifully
what about miss brighman was she even considered for the part of
chrisitne since she herself brought a life and soul into that
character. noone could sing it like them. and reading from what
has been said about us poto fans to stay home-well I doublt anyone
will be seeing that movie. they have meddled with the most devoted
of people and have now lost that which the play has eranedover the
years. I hope they think it is worth it to lose thousands or
perhaps millions of fans of the original story and cast. this new
stuff, I beleive, is for only those who have not seeen it, they
just trying to get a younger crowd although it seeems event the
young crowd does not like this Idea anymore than adults do. maybe
with all these letters they wil change their minds.

How
daft can Warner Bros. get? Can the wee lassies not think? Micheal
Crawford is the one true Phantom. I've seen a few other
performances of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, but none were like the
original. Micheal is the best Laddie for the part. May the faux
Phantom bust his bippy! P.S. I liked the picture with the fighting
Scots and the Phantom against Warner Bros.

Who is
ignorant fool, this brave young slave of fasion? May it be war
upon him! He is the disaster beyond all imagination that will
occur! Micheal Crawford is the Phantom! The one true Erik! He
alone can play the part with the true passion required!!
