| Comments: | MY GOSH! They're
thinking of casting someone besides Mr. Crawford? The blasphemy! I heard
last summer that they were planning to make a movie version, and I couldn't
help but blurt out to the friend who told me, "Oh! I do hope they use the
same people!" Michael Crawford IS the Phantom and Sarah Brightman IS
Christine Daa?!

These are the words of Harold Prince, describing Michael Crawford's audition for ' Phantom '.

| Comments: | I am deeply
saddened at the news that Michael Crawford will not be starring as the
Phantom of the Opera in the upcoming movie... I remember seeing him as the
Phantom for the first time at the Majestic Theater in 1988 when I was only 5
years old. It would've been nice to relive that in something that I owned.

| Comments: | I have been
appauled by the thought that someone other than Micheal is playing the
Phantom. The story speaks to us but, he was the one who made me listen. He
IS the voice. I wish they would just release a version of the Musical to VHS
or DVD. I for one, will not go to a movie version, if Micheal is not the
Phantom.

| Comments: | In my mind, the
Phantom of the Opera and Michael Crawford are synonymous. I have seen
Phantom of the Opera eight times in various cities and countries and all my
experiences were good, but none were as good as the first time when I had
seen Michael Crawford play the Phantom. Without Michael Crawford in the
starring role of this movie I foresee another Hollywood dud instead of a
mega hit. I can see the weeks of very expensive media HYPE and the movie on
DVD 4 weeks later. I hope that Hollywood wakes up and what about Sarah
Brightman?

| Comments: | I saw Phantom
yesterday again and no one can take Michael Crawford's place. But for them
to even THINK about having someone else play the part is ludricous. The only
person who can play the phantom is Michael. If he doesn't many people I am
sure will not even go pay to see the movie anyway.

| Comments: | Put the real
Phantom on the screen, not someone who has to prove himself. At the same
time, why not bring in Sarah Brightman to play her role as well...
I think Mr. Lloyd Webber will be disappointed at the box office if he tries to bring the movie up to date, instead of going with the tried and true!

who can make the hair on the back of my neck tingle it's Michael Crawford!
You cannot replace the emotion and fervor of this magnificent man. I own the
original audio cassette and I listen to it over and over, in awe at how
spectacular Michael sings. Without him the music will slowly vanish and the
only remembrances of his voice will be kept on CDs and cassettes but never
on film. He's the only reason I want to sing. Making a film will keep his
legacy and his spirit alive in all who watch it.

Webber that I for one will not see the movie unless Michael is in it and I
certainly wouldn't buy it. He is the Phantom. I've seen the play 3 times and
the last time was without Michael and it just wasn't the same. The other
Phantoms just can't put the same feeling in it the Michael does.

to michael crawford since the first time i saw the Phantom of the Opera at
the tender age of three. Since then, Phantom has been my favorite musical,
and i am determined to take a job in Entertainment as soon as i finish my
BA. Because of Mr. Crawford i have been inspired, have seenthe Phantom at
least three more times, and am currently an aspiring singer. I owe my love
of the theatre to this extrordinary musical and to Mr. Crawford. I would
love to see him cast as the role of the Phantom in Mr. Webbers movie and
refuse to see it otherwise. With love for all things musical, Rene

| Comments: | The Broadway show
asks in its recent ticket campaign, "Do you remember your first time?".
Well, yes, and I'll never forget it. Michael Crawford sung with the voice of
an "Angel (of Music)" and I was captivated forever. But it was not only his
incredible voice that impressed me. Michael's acting brought something
extraordinary to the role of Phantom, people could identify with the
character's emotions. His pain, passion, anger, love, desire and sorrow were
conveyed flawlessly. The audience understood that this was a tragic love
story and not some cheap slasher flick. I have returned to see Phantom
almost a dozen times since that first night, most recently in Sept 2003.
Each time it has lost a little. The tears stopped coming, the passion was
gone. The character of the Phantom has slowly turned into Freddy Kruger in a
tux and it sickens me. For the movie, a permanent tribute to Mr. LLoyd-Weber's
greatest creation, bring back the true meaning of the Phantom. Bring back
the man who gave the Phantom that meaning and left us all crying like babies
in the ailes. Bring back Michael Crawford. Just one more time let our
spirits soar, and we'll live as we've never lived before.

| Comments: | I don't live in a
big city such as New York where people can see plays regularly. I was
introduced to this play by an on line acquaintance. I was so taken by the
words to the songs and the story line I bought the CD, with the lead Michael
Crawford and Sarah Brightman. OMG, it sent chills down my spine! I can't
imagine anyone else in those roles. I have not seen the play but, if I were
to see it I can't imagine anyone else but Michael Crawford and Sarah
Brightman in the lead roles. Plus, since I am unable to see the play I would
like nothing better than to at least sit in a theater and imagine I'm there
watching the one and only phantom, Michael Crawford. To not have Michael and
Sarah would be like Gone With the Wind without Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh!

| Comments: | It is such a
shame that the enchanting beauty of The Phantom of the Opera will not be
seen or heard again through the film. It's depressing that instead of the
spectacular Michael Crawford they chose someone who has barely sung in his
life to takes HIS part. It's a shame that the captivating voice of Michael
Crawford won't be able to touch people through the film as it does to me
through the recording. If I had 1 wish right now it would be to have Michael
Crawford (and Sarah Brightman for that matter) be cast in the film. :.(Such
a shame.

knew all that much about the Phantom of the Opera until two years ago. Now
that I know the story and musical, I wish I could see the Musical but I do
not have the time or the money to see it. If the Phantom of the Opera became
a movie I would be able to see it in the comfort of my own home. And Michael
Crawford would be the absolute best choice for the role of the Phantom.

using anyone other than Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman for the
project.
This is the second time ALW has blown it on the project. It should have been done 15 years ago with the original actors. For me Mr. Crawford is and always will be the Phantom of the Opera. And Sarah Brightman will always be Christine... She alone could make his song take flight. Thank God we will always have those performances on CD. Capt. Dennis O'Leary captdennis@aol.com

| Comments: | Andrew Lloyd
Webber should not allow Hollywood to make decisions for him. Mr. Crawford &
Ms. Brightman made Phantom an incredible success in London & then onto
Broadway. London FIRST. I am sick of Hollywood not accepting the acting
abilities of people from England. The BAFTAs award Americans but the academy
does not reward Brits. Harry Potter was shut out of the academy awards. Mr.
Lloyd Webber, take the lead from Ms. Rowling, don't allow Hollywood to push
you around!! Mr. Crawford is the only Phantom there is or will ever be.

| Comments: | I didn't know
until recently that a movie of Phantom based on the play was being planned.
'How exciting!' I thought, 'The music, the story, I can't wait! But... The
actors? The voices?' Problem. Then I found this website. Michael Crawford in
the leading role? Yes, a must! The thought of Michael Crawford playing the
Phantom on screen was brilliant and beautiful, but then I learned the
Hollywood big-wigs have other ideas for the role. Listen to the fans! I am
so disappointed and saddened. Oh, what this movie could have been and might
still be given a change of casting! Michael Crawford should play the
Phantom, how could anyone think otherwise?

| Comments: | I first saw
Phantom of the Opera around 1989(I think). At the time I made plans to go to
New York and see the show, Michael Crawford was still on Broadway. By the
time I got to New York, Mr. Crawford was then in Los Angeles doing the show.
So, 6 months after I saw the show in New York I went to Los Angeles to see
Michael Crawford as the Phantom. I can't see anyone else doing the role. It
would be like recasting Yul Brynner as the King in the King and I.

| Comments: | I have seen the
play Phantom of the Opera. It was Great! The reason it was so Good was the
actor Michael Crawford and actress Sarah Brightman. I am sure the movie
companies agree; that is why a film version is being made of the very
popular play. The movie version should definitely be cast with these same
actor and actress. I would go see more than once.

Note from TMCPMC: Unfortunately you won't have the opportunity to buy the film on video or DVD with Michael Crawford because Andrew Lloyd Webber and the director, Joel Schumacher, have given the role to another actor.

but hearing the news that the great MC won't be in it...*shakes head again*
I heard rumors as far as J.T. and A.B., and prayed they were wrong. Don't
get me wrong; I enjoy both of these actors, but it takes a certain
"something" to be Erik. There are VERY FEW voices in this world that can
entrance and hold your spirit; such is MC as Erik. I don't know too much
about this Gerard fellow; I only hope he understands the massive
responsibility that comes with taking on a role like this. I'm just afraid
that this will all become some big-budget film with no "heart." :(

ludicrous to think that ALW would not whole-heartedly support the casting of
Michael Crawford as the Phantom! The man has unbelievable talent and an
incredible voice! He was magnificent as Erik and is the one TRUE Phantom! No
one else even comes close to the believability that Crawford has shown! I'm
a huge Michael Crawford fan and a huge Phantom fan, and I will not pay a
dime to see a Phantom movie with anyone else cast as the Phantom!

The Phantom of the Opera, so i clicked on them. They are going to I guess
open it in December 2004, but unfortunately Michael Crawford isn't in it

Andrew Lloyd Webber is also helping with it. He said that movies ain't his thing, more stage productions, but i can't seem to remember who is playing Erik(Phantom)...........

Micheal Crawford and frankly no one else can sing as well as he. Why not ask
MC if he wants to be in it? He should have first priority with this thing.
If MC can't do it, who can? Age has nothing to do with it. His voice is
still good and he can still act. And no changing the music! So what if it
was written so many years ago. It is still gorgeous and makes the rest of
the play. Either do the original on film or skip the thing!!
