I have
the Cd and Lp of phantom with the original cast but i was too
young to go and see it. when i heard the film was being made i was
ecstatic! The first time i heard music of the night I was
mesmerized. i cannot describe the feeling it gives me, it makes me
cry every time. call me crazy but it does. Michael may be older
now but he still has that beautiful, powerful voice - he is the
phantom.
p.s. how can Lloyd Webber say he wants someone younger? the
phantom was supposed to be OLD!

I love
The Phantom of The Opera. I love all of the songs from it. Because
of listening to them constantly, I have improved my singing range
and can reach some of the highest notes sung in the opera itself!!
Besides that, Michael Crawford has an inspiring voice. The
character that he portrays has such a deep and powerful meaning.
The only true Phantom can be Crawford himself.

I first
saw the Phantom in Nashville about ten years ago and fell in love
with it immediately. I have had a Phantom cd in my vehicle at all
times ever since. I travel daily and listen to it all the time. I
frequently sing along while driving. I am always moved by the
music and especially by the performance of Michael Crawford. I had
the pleasure of seeing Phantom again two weeks ago in New York and
was blown away. But there is no doubt in my mind who the true
Phantom is. It is and will always be MICHAEL CRAWFORD. Anyone else
would be "an insult".

The
recent devolopements that have unfolded over the last monthes have
been quite contrary to what I have expected. No Antonio! Yay! But
what's this? A small time scottish actor with no musical
experience? These people should know better! Well, at least he
doesn't have a thick accent... Still, the comments they have been
making have caused me to think perhaps we *should* stay home. I,
for one, plan to boycott, at least untill I see what revisions
they have made, and what this new "phantom" sounds like, in the
role.

Michael
Crawford, is, was and will always be "The Phantom". To choose any
other actor would be a disgrace to the art. Hollywood executives
are probably scared by the fact that he has too much talent.
They're not used to dealing with that. He has more than earned
this role! Good luck to him!

The
role of the phantom belongs to micheal crawford, as he made the
role for himself when the show first opened. To settle for anyone
else in the role would be a great disaster.

Michael
Crawford is the Phantom, He is the most perfect person to play
this role. It was he who made it famous. His voice is terrific and
who better to play the role, than the orginial who was the star of
the Broadway Play. He has power in his voice and knows the role
like the back of his hand. I would be very disapointed if he did
not get the role of his best performance ever. Please reconcider
him for this role of a life time. Thanks

Webber
comes to the premiere and sees no one (except perhaps Erik
himself, with his lasso ready *evil grin*)... if I were
geographically closer to ALW I'd be marching in the street with
"give us our Phantom" etc. slogans, and I think I would not be
alone there.
It's phans who earned POTO the place in Guinness, and it's
phans who really must matter, not $$. And Phans want Michael!!
Well if they find the Phantom himself and get him in the role I
wouldn't object much though...but Mike is the closest! Yes, and
Christine matters...Sarah is getting a bit too old for the part,
but are there any other talented young singers out of teens?!
God can't forgive it. I'm not sure he's a Phan but he can't.
Let's hope he's still there, and good.
Hope lives on. We will be there to the end.

IF this

the man who did this...he will PAY. Nobody will mess up the
beautiful story of POTO while i'm around. "Young and attractive"
people in the roles?!?! Who cares!!??!! The Phantom wasn't young
or at all attractive!! And i love him that way. Must this
Beautiful piece of work be desecrated by shallow human kind!!!
"THIS WHOLE AFFAIR IS AN OUTRAGE!!"

If ALW
is not going to use Michael Crawford in the movie, he could AT
LEAST put the stage show on vhs and make it available to the fans
and to people who want to see HIM in the role...Some of us never
got to see Mr. Crawford, we only have the recordings. Thank You.

I
believe that Michael Crawford is the world wide accepted Phantom
in the musical production, and I consider that having him in the
title role in the film can only increase viewing statistics.

Upon
hearing of a planned ' The Dukes of Hazzard ' movie, Ben Jones ( '
Cooter ' in the TV series ) pointed out that, when TPTB replaced
original stars Tom Wopat and John Schneider with unknowns who were
not accepted by the show's fans the ratings fizzled. After
bringing Wopat & Scheider back, the ratings once again soared.
If the planned ' Phantom ' movie fizzles, ALW could always
remake it with fan favorites Michael Crawford & Sarah Brightman (
if the RUG gave him another $50 million, which is doubtful, it
seems to me ), but why bother, when he already knows how to make
the movie a hit ?
Jones also said, " When people think of ' The Dukes of Hazzard
', they think of us. "
When people think of the ' Phantom ' & Christine, who do they
think of ?
I think the answer to that question is perfectly clear.

I just
saw Phantom last night for the first time. I can't imagine that
you would even think of altering such a beautiful story and score.
As for refusing Michael Crawford the role of the Phantom, how dare
you???????? You need to think back and realize who made this play
the hit that it is. Gratitude sure does escape the greedy.

I was
devastated and distraught about the casting for Phantom. It is a
sin to put anyone but Michael Crawford in the starring role. ALW
needs his head examined. Just because they want to play to a "hip"
audience is no reason to do this. This is a timeless story, the
music and characters enter your heart and very soul. To cast some
young non-vocalist because he was in an action film is ludicruous.
What are these people thinking? There are untold millions of fans,
young and old that adore and cherish this show, most of the people
I know all have the original recording WITH Michael Crawford. They
can't imagine anyone else either. This is an outrage!!!!!!!! I
would love to know Michael Crawford's reaction to this. He has
counted and planned on doing this film for years. So much for the
public say in anything, money talks, supposedly good looks alone
are what matters. Even ALW is missing the point. He is turning out
to be a sellout to his millions of fans and to the almighty
dollar. I could go on and on but what's the point. I guess good
common sense doesn't have any impact anymore.

I think
that what is about to happen to the "Phantom of the Opera" is a
terrible shame. The casting of Gerard Butler, who has only had
previous singing experience with an old rock band, as the Phantom
is one of the worst choices that could have possibly been made. I
would not object so much if the Phantom was not written to have
the most superb "absolutely and heroically sweet, gloriously
insidious, delicate, powerful, and in short, irresistably
triumphant" voice ever. The one quality absolutely necessary to
play the Phantom is a dynamic voice; not a big Hollywood name, not
a young age, and definitely NOT good looks. Yet, it seems to me
that those were the qualifications that Joel Shumacher was looking
for in his "vision" of the "Phantom of the Opera." I'd like to ask
him how one with hardly any singing experience can even hope to
claim to be the very "Angel of Music." There is only one man who
can do such a thing, one man who the phans (THE TICKET BUYERS)
will see, and that is Michael Crawford. He's got the talent, the
experience, and the die-hard fans who will go to see the movie ten
times and make WB its precious money. ALW, if you see this, save
your masterpiece now while you still have the chance. If not, I'm
afraid that you'll not only be hurting us, your loyal fans, but
yourself and your musical.

My
parents saw the first Phantom, Michael Crawford, and I have always
wanted to see him perform it. I saw Ted Keegan, he is great, but
he is not Michael, three times. I just love your site! I have been
coming to it since I first saw Phantom in 2001. As I was saying,
it would be a great dishonor to do this to all of the true Phantom
phans out there. Depriving us of the one man who made this role
come to life. Depriving us of our rights to see Michael have the
role once again. Andrew, if you ever read this, what was going
through your mind when you gave the part to someone else? Why did
you do this? Have you and Michael had a grudge about something in
the past? Is this why you did this? If so then why do you have to
put your personal troubles into the casting of the movie. I mean,
my God, he made you millions, I'm not surprised if he made you
billions of dollars or pounds, lets just say currency. Think of
how much money you would make! Oh well, I guess there is no way of
changing your idiotic decision. But heed my words, I have changed
my whole perspective about you. I use to like you and your works,
but now I do not know what to think of you. I hope that one day
you will trod upon this site one day and see how many lifes this
God sent man has touched. And how many people wanted him to play
the part. Once again I would like to say that this site has made
me become a truely better phan and I hope that everyone that sees
the play or reads the book will come to this site to see how much
more there is to it than what meets the eye. Hugs, A phantom and
Michael fan, Mary

Every
night that voice of a talented, genius sings me to sleep, with
talk of the music of the night (I put earphones on. . .)And the
thought of some one as annoying as John Travolta playing the role
makes me want to hit the bastard!Long live Michael Crawford! And
lets hope Mr.Travolta gets Laringitis . . .

I am 16
years old and am already a huge Michael Crawford fan. Last year
when visiting England I went and saw Phantom in London and I
absolutely loved it. My one disappointment was that it wasn't
Michael Crawford playing phantom. I listened to the recording of
Phantom with him in it and I couldn't put it away. It held me
spell bound. I have always wanted to see a movie of phantom but
without Michael as Phantm I'd prefer not to. He is obviously best
for the role and could give it so much more than anyone else. I
wish it was him.

I just
read that Paramount Pictures is disappointed in the performance of
the movie ' Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life '(
Which,coincidentally, features Gerard Butler ). Paramount thinks
that the movie's core audience ( ' Tomb Raider ' game fans )must
think that, since they don't like the new game, the movie will
disappoint them,too.
Who would be the ' Phantom ' movie's core audience ? Fans of
the show, the Original London Cast Recording and, if Michael
Crawford were cast as the ' Phantom ', his fans, who are already
disappointed in the news that Mr. Crawford has been denied the
role and the planned alterations in the much-loved story and
score.
Something to thing about, I feel.

movie. They are simply the best

I've
seen the ALW musical once, when I was nine years old, and fell in
love with it immediately. I haven't read the Gaston Leroux novel
yet, but I plan to very soon. I want to see Michael Crawford play
the phantom, because his vocal talents are unmatched as Erik. His
singing on "Music of the Night" is beautiful beyond compare. I
think that Michael Crawford should play Erik because, well, he IS
Erik. No one else can bring his presence to the role, and no one
else will.

hello
everyone,
well, i'm absolutly heart broken. all these years of a clean,
passionate fight for a loving cause has been lost. knowing that
Mr. Crawford will not be imortalized is dispairing. i mean "Music
of the Night" without Michael is like "Over the Rainbow" without
Judy. it has no magic...that special magic. Michael Crawford has
been robbed and so we have been robbed. i want to see the film but
i'm scared of coming out crying. so Mr. Webber had better deliver
something good. i'll try to be open minded and enjoy regardless,
however, my expectations are very very high. good luck
