Well. I'm here again. The phantom of the Opera w/o M.C. is
like the phan of the opera! M.C. puts the "tom" on phantom!f
he's not in the movie, they should call it the phan of the
opera. It'll never be the same.

I
saw the musical when I was 6/7 and all the other characters
are blur, but Michael Crawford stays in my mind as well as
what he sung.

This is a tragedy! Not many could play this role as well as M.
Crawford.
I believe "Andrew" should re-think the casting of this
movie.

How
sad to think that Michael Crawford will not be playing the
role of the Phantom...I have loved his work over the years,
but have loved his role as the Phantom best of all. My best
wishes to Mr. Crawford and I look forward to his future
endeavors.

I
SAW PHANTOM OF THE OPERA AND I WAS IN LOVE WITH THE PLAY! AND

YOU CAN SEE MY NAME IS KRISTINA.. MY MOM NAMED ME AFTER
CHRISITNE IN PHANTOM. I ALSO HAVE A BROTHER MICHAEL. AS YOU
CAN SEE SHE NAMED HIM AFTER MICHAEL CRAWFORD.
LONG LIVE MICHAEL CRAWFORD!

There have been many who have played the Phantom around the
world, some very good and others not. The only one who IS THE
PHANTOM IS MICHAEL CRAWFORD. Have enjoyed listening to him for
years. If Michael is not cast as the Phantom in the upcoming
movie, I will not pay money to see the movie!!

Having seen the "Phantom" on two occasions Michael Crawford
MUST be cast in the leading role. He has an amazing voice and
such an tremendous acting ability that he brings the role to
life like no other could. The film would just not be the box
office smash it could be without Michael starring in it!

Here I'm supposed to write something really touching and
moving about how much I want Michael to play the Phantom...
But I can't. I really DO want him but I'm just a 14-year old
girl from one of the smallest countries in the world and
therefor not very big with words. Michael will not be playing
in the phantom-movie.
It's over now. The Music of The Night...

I
think that Michael Crawford should play the Phantom in film
because he has such an amazing and inspiring voice that should
be able to be put on film, that way he could always be
remembered. He did a great job when acting on stage, maybe now
he should act on camera.

I
have not had the chance to see the Phantom of the Opera yet,
but I have 2 friends who recently have got me HOOKED on the
CD's that I borrowed from one of them. Micheal does an
EXCELLENT job as is on the CDs. To have him in a film would
just be SPLENDID!!! Most of the time when spending hours on
end listening to the CDs, I can rarely listen to a song that
doesn't have him included in it for very long. He's Absolutly
SPECTACULAR!!!!!

When I hear that someone other than Michael Crawford is to be
the Phantom for this new movie, my heart crumbles. I, who have
never seen the man perform on stage before but has heard him
through his CDs to be enchanted by his voice forever, am
extremely disappointed at ALW and all who are to make this
film. I hope that they will understand in time before they
make a crucial mistake that Michael Crawford is the ONLY one
who can bring the Phantom (mind, body, and most importantly,
soul) to the silver screen with as much emotion as he has
always done in his performances. Many fans wish this to be so,
and I am no different. My wish is to see the Phantom of the
Opera with my own eyes...with Michael Crawford as the man who
is the legend.

I
have seen the Broadway play 9 times each time is like the
first. Noone can beat M.C. But I have to say the man that is
on stage now comes pretty close. He is fantastic!! If the
don't get M.C. to do the movie maybe they should check out
this guy. I'm sorry I can't remeber his name.

I
have seen the show only once with Michael Crawford in the lead
and twice without him and there is only ONE true Phantom,
Michael Crawford. His portrayal of the role that night moved
me to tears and it was a performance I will never forget. To
have a film version of the musical without him as the Phantom
would be like Ben Hur without Charlton Heston or The Lord of
the Rings without the Ring. Anyone other than Michael Crawford
would be second rate and I don't care who it was... they
couldn't improve on the perfect Phantom!

MICHAEL CRAWFORD ROCKS! I never had the chance to see him as
the Phantom but I have the cast recording and love his voice.
He probably should be playing the Phantom, even though he's
older. I will soon have a Phantom of the Opera fan site and
will post it here...

My
mom promised me to see the Phantom of the opera musical. When
I heard there was a film, I was delighted! But when I heard MC
won't be the phantom, I knew it wouldn't be quite the success.
But I agree with most people on this, MC is the original
phantom. Just like the original london cast of Cats, it should
remain original. I hope WB will try and make MC the phantom
plus maybe the whole original cast all together. It will sound
like the musical, and many fans, like me, will be pleased.

Dear Diane and Campaign Members,
With the popularity and success of the 'top ten' lists that
David Letterman regularly introduces on this television show
and others who have copied the format, I guess I'll finalize
my feelings about the movie with a top ten list of my own.
TOP 10 REASONS WHY I WON'T GO TO THE NEW ANDREW LLOYD
WEBBER THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA MOVIE:
1. I don't want to see just another Phantom horror movie!
2. I don't want a reinvention of the story from the stage
production! 3. I don't want talking parts that weren?t in the
original stage production! 4. I don't want new music or
updated orchestrations! 5. I don't want lower key arrangements
to accommodate the non-singers! 6. I want real singers to sing
all the roles! 7. I want a faithful recreation of the stage
musical preserved on film! 8. I want to see a movie that I
someday will want to own on DVD with great 5.1 Dolby Surround
Sound! 9. I want Michael Crawford to be the Phantom! 10. The
most important reason I won?t invest the time and money to see
The Phantom of the Opera movie is because director, Joel
Schumacher, told me not to come!
What arrogance! And from that arrogance, we will get the
extra motivation to carry on. No one likes to be told to stay
home, especially by someone who must rely on our patronage to
make his business venture a success.
By the great number of members of your campaign and the
very large number of those who have seen the stage production,
we, together, can still have a big effect on the success of
this movie. Besides word of mouth and newspaper ads, we should
have a t-shirt campaign to help advertise the boycott. Joel
Schumacher's remark could be the rallying call for us to
continue the fight and the impetus to anger potential movie
goers into just staying home. I suggest that t-shirts be made
with a top ten list and/or with the Schumacher remark to help
advertise the boycott. Members could buy the shirt from the
campaign and make it easy for others to get the information to
order also. It may be the step that will generate interest
again in this campaign.
Sincerely, James A. Yacobacci

I
haven't seen the broadway version, but I've heard the
soundtrack. I think Michael should be in the movie because he
has the voice for the Phantom, and he is the orignal Phantom.
So, he should try to do it.

Whenever I see a new rendition of Phantom of the Opera, I
always compare the new phantom to Michael Crawford. If anyone
is going to devote the time and money to making this movie,
why not hire the best?

I
am in love with the phantom of the opera, obsessed would be a
better term, and all because of Michael Crawford. I have every
one of his cd's and he is my favorite singer and no one comes
close to his vocals and how passionately he puts his heart and
soul into his music. How could anyone replace the original on
screen but him. As for him being too old, he is like a fine
wine, better with age. The phantom is masked and disfigured;
no one could tell his age with all the make up it requires to
make the phantom, You would not be able to tell his age. I
think he is beautiful no matter how old he is, inside and out.
Only Michael could be the phantom. He is the one all of us
fell in love with when TPOTO opened and no one can replace
him. Even with all the different actors who play the Phantom
now on Broadway it still is not the same as Michael as the
Phantom. He is enchanting and mesmorizing. And as for me (#1
Michael Crawford fan in the world), only he can be the Phantom
on the silver screen. Please reconsider Mr Webber. It would be
a dream to see The Phantom of the Opera made into a movie and
even more overwhelming to see Michael again as the Phantom. I
love you Michael Crawford and only you could be the Phantom of
the Opera!!!!!!!!!!

The
first time I heard the Phantom was when I was six years old.
It was on a car journey and to stop me from making noise mum
gave me a tape and told me to put it on my walkman and be
quiet! She had however given me the wrong tape, but that
changed my life forever. I remember hearing Michael Crawford's
voice for the first time and even back then it really moved me
and made my hair stand on end. Only when my mother heard me
sobbing in the back of the car did she realise what she had
given me. But from that day forth I was hooked. My dream was
to play Christine next to Michael and I took singing lessons
just to be able to do it. When I was eighteen my boyfriend
took me to see Phantom for the first time..and it was amazing
but it was not the same as when Michael was the Phantom. I
pray for the day when I can actually see Michael Crawford
playing the lead again so my imagination can truly come to
life. Nobody will ever take his place as the Phantom and I
will wait on baited breath until that day comes! Please bring
him back!

Michael Crawford was the original phantom. why??? because he
has an amazing voice and charm to him. he captures the
character of the phantom like no one else I have seen on the
stage. just listening to the album and not seeing him, I can
see what he does, and the emotion he puts into his
performance. he is a very posed person, and amazing talent.
let him be the original film phantom because he will capture
the audience(especially those who have never seen it on
stage)with that magic only he can give. please cast him as the
phantom!!!!! andrew do it for the fans that love your show!!!!

I
was offered a free ticket to see it in Los Angeles when it was
NOT Michael Crawford playing the title role and TURNED IT
DOWN. Not worth my time. I think it safe to say that I will be
one of those people that will be staying home. Hope the
clueless people making it enjoy their movie. (And anybody else
who goes to see it that might not know any better. I feel
sorry for them.. and for the rest of the world who missed
seeing the REAL ERIK.

Dear all readers of this message, My birthday just passed. I
got many wonderful gifts. But the one gift I want is for Mr.
Crawford to be in the Phantom movie. His voice is the voice
that I learned to love as I would listen to him sing on the
C.D. for hours and hours. He makes me understand the real
purpose of the play, the songs, even the purpose of the
Phantom himself! He is wonderful, and I know that everyone on
this site would back me up when I say this, so listen up: YOU
CAN PUT ANYONE IN THE MOVIE (I would prefer Mr. Crawford, but
anyway,), BUT NO ONE BUT MR. CRAWFORD CAN REALLY BRING THE
MUSIC OF THE NIGHT! MICHAEL CRAWFORD FOR PHANTOM: THE TRUE MAN
BEHIND THE MASK!

I'm
agreeing with you guys about the movie... Michael Crawford
should play the Phantom... he's original!! I heard a rumor
that someone wanted Antonio Banderas to play the Phantom...
that would ruin a perfectly good movie...
Good Luck!

Although I have been looking forward to the Phantom movie for
quite some time, it is rather disappointing that something
holding so much promise could be made less by careless
casting. I could listen to Michael Crawford sing anytime. I
don't know anything about about the stars of the upcoming
Warner Bros. movie.

"Like no other star in Britain, Crawford is a definition of
the theatre at its most sentimental and its most courageous...
The Phantom has more than its fair share of breathtaking
theatrical moment... but in the end, you have to care about
the Phantom himself, for his is the music of the night"
Sheridan Morley, Playbill
That was then...
As for now, I seriously doubt the "movie", as it is now
being filmed, will get any thing close to this kind of review.
There is no Phantom but Michael Crawford.
I want the Phantom I was promised!
To hell with these children playing at Halloween!

I
did not have the chance to see Mr Crawford's performace on
stage when Phantom was here in Los Angeles. However I have the
CD from the play and I just love his performace. Both of my
children just love the CD and my daughter has taken over my CD
and listens to it every chance she gets. I would just love to
see Mr Crawford in the film version. I really believe that Mr
Crawford is the actor that brings the Phantom to life. I did
see the play when it was here in Los Angeles in 2003 and even
though the gentlemen who played Phantom did a good job, it
wasn't Mr Crawford. I hope that Mr Webber askes Mr Crawford to
play the Phantom for the film and I hope that Mr Crawford
accepts the role.

I
have looked at the first few photo releases of the new Phantom
of the Opera movie sent me by the ALW site, and continue to be
VERY disgusted and disappointed with RUG/ALW in their choice
to not cast the one and only original Phantom (Michael
Crawford.) At least consider the release of the video format
of the original production to give us a choice. Ironically,
you still have profited from choosing to use Michael's voice
over and over on San Francisco Music Box items,(now out of
business), Frankin Mint items, Enesco items, Carlton Phantom
ornaments, etc. I have stopped buying and collecting RUG
merchandise, will never buy the music or see the movie or
video of this new Phantom movie, or any other ALW production
(and I have seen them all till now.) I had once planned to see
Woman in White in London next September -no more. I no longer
consider myself an ALW fan and am appalled in your breaking
your promise to Michael Crawford. I hope there is karmic
justice and that you get yours!

I
have not had the pleasure of seeing the Phantom of the Opera
onstage, nor could I have with Michael Crawford in the leading
role seeing as it was released a couple years before I was
born. Yet, I have heard the recordings and have fallen in love
with the distinctness Mr.Crawford gives the role and could not
imagine anyone else doing it in a movie. I definetly look
forward to seeing MICHAEL CRAWFORD in the role of Erik in the
movie version of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!

I
wish the Really Useful Group the very best of luck with this
movie, but it is a shame that unlike 'Cats,' this will not be
a complete filmed stage version of the Cameron
Mackintosh/Really Useful Group production. You would think
that after the great success of the 'Cats' video and the
Cameron Mackintosh/Really Useful Group stage production of
'The Phantom of the Opera' that all of those involved in both
would have taken into MAJOR consideration what would have been
a number one best seller! I can understand the reason behind a
Hollywood movie musical, but it is better to have a permanent
income from a smaller musical theatre audience than to have a
high income from the entire population that only lasts from a
few months to not even a year. I will always be an Andrew
Lloyd Webber fan no matter what, but I will not see this movie
in a theatre nor will it be in my DVD collection! I shall only
rent it one time only for a low price and form my opinion that
way. Once again, I wish the Really Useful Group the very best
of luck with this movie,!

Another message here from a true Phantom fan. I never got to
see Michael Crawford on the stage, to my utter devestation, as
I was not even born. My parents did and I am so jealous. I
listen to the original cast cd everyday, with Michael
Crawford, Sarah Brightman, Steve Barton, etc, and I adore it.
It makes me cry every time I listen to Michael Crawford at the
end. Please do not deny me this opportunity of seeing Micahel
Crawford re-living HIS role as the Phantom. It's the only way
I will get to see him perform as the Phantom, except for the
little clip I have of him during the '100 Greatest Musicals'
programme over Christmas. Please, it is my dream to see him
perform, as he has such a beautiful voice. He is so talented.
Don't ruin my one hope of happiness!

Please put Michael Crawford in the musical version of the

originally created. You cannot devestate so many fans around

think it's so ironic that a new tragedy comes about by finding
