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.

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.

Oh!
What Can I say? This is more than a disappointment - as a long
time Phantom Fan - naturally, I believe that only Michael
Crawford should play the part!!!Who is the next phantom going
to be? William Hung (from American Idol)??? Let's stop the
Madness and be true to the original!!!

Just saw the preview at the theater today (6-29-04)! What a
shock! That wasn't Michael Crawford! My dream has been for him
to make the movie and for all us faithful fans to buy the
video or DVD. You producers really blew it. You're going to
lose a bundle on this one. And serves you right.

I
just saw the movie promo online. Strangely enough they did not
allow this new gentleman to sing. From what I saw, the movie
looked very artistic. This movie would have made millions if
Crawford would have played the part. Personally, I hope this
movie is the biggest FLOP that ALW ever has. It would
definitely serve him right.

am devastated that Michael Crawford is not the star of the
Phantom movie. I have waited over 10 years for the play to be
transformed into a movie, but without Michael, well, what's

I
was first introduced to Michael's voice when i was quite young
and i saw him perform in The Phantom of the Opera. I now own
the soundtrack and listen to his amazing voice when i'm bored,
studying or just need some calming down. He is an amazing
artist and i would love to see him perform again and have no
doubt that i would buy a copy on video/dvd. We love you
Michael!

I'm
not surprised they'd rather have some huge Hollywood actor
rather than Micheal Crawford, but come on! Do you really think
you can find many other people who can play the part of the
Phantom as Micheal once did so well? Micheal truly is the
epitome of Erik in my mind. When I discovered there was a
movie coming out for "Phantom" I thought it's too good to be
true, and it was. I think if anything, they should stay true
to the Broadway. I don't know what Andrew Lloyd Webber must
think.

C`mon Michael show the world your`e the only one who can play
the Phantom - you have the voice, charisma and you are
definitely not too old. So keep taking the pills (like us) and
sock it to them.

I'm
highly disappointed that Michael Crawford isn't playing the
Phantom but I wish a DVD of the Broadway show would become
available. That's how I found this site was in looking for a
DVD to preserve my memories of the show. What an experience!

amazes me that anyone would consider someone other than

When I heard that Antonio Banderas was being considered for
the part, I couldn't believe my ears!

By
hiring Butler and Schumacher, Lloyd-Webber gets an actor who
can't sing and a director that can't even pull off a Batman
sequel. ALW is going to get what he deserves and Michael
Crawford will have the last, blood-curdling laugh. I predict
this movie will be one of the biggest fiascos in movie
history. More people have seen the stage version than any
other play in history. They are going to lead the charge in
trashing this film.

When I listen to my Phantom of the opera cd, I cry every time
because of the passion in Michael Crawford's voice. I don't
know who else can sing it, and make it believable. It is true
that Mr. Crawford is the Phantom----or at least he makes one
believe that he is by his outstanding performance.

I
have only seen the show once, knowing that the cast was not
original. I was very disappointed not to hear the entire last
note carried out from Music of the Night. I am deeply inspired
by the work of the entire production and Andrew Lloyd Webber's
music. Michael Crawford's performance on the soundtrack is all
I have to experience this show. I was hoping for a DVD release
of the original Phantom for my historical collection. I would
like to see the performance that won the TONY AWARD and not
some remake. Michael Crawford in my opinion is the MAN for
this performance. If he is not chosen, PLEASE patition a
release of the original production on DVD for the next
generation to experience.
WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL CRAWFORD!!!

I
saw Michael Crawford in the original Phantom in London years
ago, and whenever I listen to that old record from the
performance his voice makes my blood run cold. He is so
ghostly, that he must be the Phantom.

THE SPAN OF THE SHOW......THE PHANTOM WAS THE SHINING JEWEL OF
THE TOWN.I CAN ONLY HOPE IT MAKES TO THE SCREEN INTACT AND NOT

As
much as I love Michael Crawford as the original Phantom, you
can't have everything these days it seems. Hollywood says he's
a little too old these days.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's new musical "The Woman In White"
opens at the Palace theatre this September in London.
Michael Crawford plays Count Fosco!!
Look forward to it, fans!!

have never seen a stage version of the Phantom but I have the
soundtrack. Michael Crawford is amazing.I cannot imagine
anyone but Michael Crawford playing the role of the Phantom in
the film version. I don't believe anyone else could do this
part justice. Michael Crawford is the Phantom.

I
think Michael crawford should be the phantom in the movie
version of the story because he not only has strong stage
presence but screen presence as well (Hello dolly). I beleive
that many more people (not heavily aquainted with this
subject)would go and see the movie if he were cast, once they
hear of his life achievements and hear his amazingly talented
voice.

I
was able to see The Phantom Of The Opera in Hartford, CT a few
years ago. I LOVE the story & music. I 1st heard the music
from a Jr Drum & Bugle corps back in 1989 that played their
whole show of Phantom & I just fell in love with it!! Then I
got to hear Michael Crawford as the phantom & NO-ONE & I mean
NO-ONE can play that role like he does. When I saw Phantom in
Hartford it was NOT with Michael Crawford & although the actor
playing the Phantom role was good he was NO Michael Crawford!
Michael Crawford CANNOT be touched as far as his portrayal of
the Phantom!! Michael Crawford IS the Phantom!! And NO big
Hollywood actor can do that role justice like the Phantom
himself Michael Crawford can! If there ever was a Phantom Of
The Opera MOVIE to come out & Michael Crawford was NOT the
lead role.... I wouldn't pay 1 cent to see it! PLEASE PLEASE
make Michael Crawford the Phantom in the movie!! Thank You.

Having seen Michael perform live, he has to be the only one
that they could even think about for Phantom. As your site
says, He IS THE PHANTOM. Would not bother to see the movie
without Michael as its star
