Q. "How does Michael Crawford feel about reports that another actor will star in the screen version of Phantom of the Opera?"
--Fred Adams, Dewey Beach, Del

A. "If I lived my life worrying about a decision someone else will make I'd never get on with other projects," Crawford, 59 tells us. His attention is focused on Michael Crawford: The Disney Album, a CD of movie songs due out Tuesday. The former Phantom also will return to Broadway in April---again as a monster in a lavish musical, Dance of the Vampires.
