Oh
my frickin' God! I just can't believe this. I have been a
freakishly devoted Phantom fan for several years, and when i
first saw the trailer for the new movie a couple of weeks ago,
I was extatic. I have no idea how I hadn't known about it
before.One of the first things I said about it to my friends
was that they had better stick to the original cast and score
because I would know if they cut anything out. Today I thougt
I would do a quick search on the movie to make sure it was
coming out in December (my birthday is in Dec.)and I saw
something about Micheal Crawford. Yea! so he is going to be in
it (I thought) and went on this site. I am appalled! I don't
have any problem with changing the cast for individual tours
(the cast can't be on call all the time), but for the movie
that will bring Phantom to the masses they NEED to cast at
least Micheal Crawford as the Phantom. I am so disgusted with
them, I don't even know if I'll go. I wish it wasn't too late
to sign another petition. Lord knows, maybe my petition would
have made a difference.

If
the movie flops, then please consider releasing either video
archives of the original cast or a new complete filmed stage
version with Michael Crawford after he finishes his run in
"The Woman in White."

I
cannot believe Michael Crawford is NOT playing the
Phantom...He IS the Phantom! What a disappointment! Michael
Crawford IS a Hollywood name and his voice is the voice of the
Phantom. From his bio, looks like Gerard Butler is virtually a
nobody. Antonio Banderas would have made a better choice but
even though his Evita role was a success, I certainly don't
think he has the voice to do the Phantom. GIVE US MICHAEL
CRAWFORD!!!!!

Why
can't they have Crawford as the phantom? Antonio dosn't have
the looks. The phantom is french isn't he, so why do they want
to have a latino playing a french?

My..dear god.. I'm horrified, deeply. I'm an 18 year old West
Virginian girl, who loves the idea of Broadway so very much.
I've never had the wonderful chance of seeing Crawford on
stage, but I've heard of what he does, I know how he glides
across the stage with such finesse and grace that no other
Phantom has had the chance of actually doing themselves. It
pukes me that they're picking some horrible, stupid actor who
can't even sing, who can't glide, who damned well can't do
anything like the Phantom. The Phantom is the king of the
stage, he must sing, he must do everything perfectly, and only
one man can do that. I mean..look back at My Fair Lady, and
how that one extremely handsome, young actor said he wouldn't
be happy if they didn't choose the real stage actor for
Professor Higgins. Jesus. Can't Webber look on the past and
see the future? God, it really pisses me off.

Having had the privilege (and I don't use that word lightly)
of meeting Michael Crawford and of hearing his Phantom live, I
can't tell you how saddened, and yes, angry, I am with this
entire farce.
We could have had a WONDERFUL Phantom on screen in
Crawford, and here instead we get a semi-interesting actor
who's done nothing much as yet except B movies and who himself
admits he "cannot sing much" at all.
Micheal, wherever you are, please kmow that my heart broke
for you even as I watcedh the trailer to the film. Gentle,
kind, and decent man, this is such a grave and horrible
injustice I can hardly type.
From what I can tell the POTO film looks pretty enough, but
already in my heart I know it lacks the one thing it needs to
be a truly great version of this beloved musical and that dear
man is YOU. I just can't bring myself to see it, and that says
something because I all my life I have dearly loved "Erik" in
all his incarnations, from Chaney to Crawford and beyond.
Sadly it seems in Gerard Butler they settled for "blatant
sex appeal" and "obviously visible hunkiness" rather than
going for real beauty and real talent.
Pity, on both counts because they couldn't be more wrong in
this case with their choice. I've got nothing personal against
Butler. He's got potential, but he's NOT you. He's NOT the
Phantom. He admittedly can't SING the Phantom and no amount of
rewriting the role "for more talk" will be able to surmount
that lack.
The Phantom of the Opera SINGS, and sings BEAUTIFULLY, and
that's just how it IS. Erik seduces Christine with his music,
with his SOUL, not with his dashing good looks! THAT he nearly
succeeds is the beauty of the character and the story, and you
just cannot change that!
I've seen you, and I've seen your "Erik" and I know that
given the chance you and POTO could have been box office
magic, that you in your shy, modest way were more than up to
the challenge of the task.
Never before have I ever wished for anything I love so much
to succeed so little, but in this case I sincerely hope ALW
loses every DIME he put into this film and THEN SOME.
He DESERVES to lose his shirt on this one, I am sorry.
Vindictive, yes, and bad of me to think that way I'll
admit, but TRUE nonetheless.
God bless, Michael and my sincerest condolences to you,
sweet man.
You surely deserved better.

I
Love The Phantom of The Opera, and was fortunate enough to see
it when it was i Atlanta, GA. However I have had the original
broadway sountrack and have worn it out. Michael Crawford IS
the VOICE of the Phantom. Please give all of his fans the
chance to see him on the big screen and to hear that amazing
voice again. Thanks

Michael Crawford is the Phantom. I was exposed to the
soundtrack, and fell in love with the voice of the Phantom.
Michael Crawford brings all emotions to the role and out of
those who see it or hear it. I believe Michael Crawford should
the Phantom, and once again bring this majestic character he
knows so well to the big screen.
Thank you!

The
Phantom would not be the Phantom without Michael Crawford. He
created the part and I am sure that everyone would agree that
he is not too old to re-create it on film.

I've seen many screen versions of the Phantom, all of which
were lacking. I'm glad a respected company are now
endeavouring to produce it, and I have faith they will do it
well. Should they make their choice wisely, I don't doubt
there is an actor out there who could do the role justice.
However, Michael Crawford is the voice and presence of the
Phantom, and I would be more than thrilled to see him fullfil
the role himself. I fell in love with the Phantom of the
Opera, and have only seen one theatre production of it. I
would love to see Michael's part performed as it should be,
even if it is a film version.

Michael Crawford will be The Phantom forever! I refuse to see
a movie with someone else playing his role.

The
first time I saw Phantom performed by Santa Clara Vangaurd
Drum Corps in 1988 I was totally in love with the music and
opera. Michael Crawford is the Phantom and he embodies every
aspect of that role as does Sarah Brightman for her portrayal
of Christine.
