Any concerts planned for New York in near future? Thanks.

Dear Michael~
I was about fifteen when I first heard Phantom of the Opera. I originally watched the movie version and then bought the Broadway soundtrack. Your voice captivated me from the start, particularly Music of the Night, but I didn't really 'discover' you until I was surfing Youtube one day. I was on a hunt for Julie Andrews videos, and I came across a PBS special of you and Julie singing a medley from My Fair Lady. I thought, "oh my God, who IS that adorable Brit with the powerhouse voice??" Needless to say I did a bit more research, put two and two together, and have been a tremendous fan ever since. Now I have two things on my Christmas list... your "Favorite Love Songs" album and a membership to your fan association. Your voice is absolutely INCREDIBLE... my favorite song of all time, from what I've heard, is your version of "Love Changes Everything". I saw it (where else) on Youtube, and there is such power and emotion there... I adore it. I am desperately hoping to get to a concert of yours in the near future to hear you sing live... it would be a dream come true.
Yours,
Laurel

I just wanted to write and tell you that I have been a big fan of yours of all of my 82 years of life, and listen to your music all the time. And I wanted to let you know that I have been thinking of you since your illness, I pray that you will get better soon. Continue with your life and keep on making music because I really enjoy it.

When are you coming to St.Louis? I never tire of hearing or seeing Phantom Of The Opera. But i'm sorry to say i never have seen you in it. Hoping to see you in St.Louis someday

Dear Michael:
I used to be in your fan club several years ago. Although I was unable to continue with that after five years, I still follow your career, and remember fondly how generous the fan club was to exceptional children in my community.
I hope you'll perform in Montgomery, Alabama sometime. We have the fith largest Shakespeare Festival in the world not far from where I live, and I'm sure they'd be happy to accomodate you, and any performance you choose to give, whether musical or non-musical.
As it is September 29th, I'd like to wish you a happy Michaelmas Day,part of which I spent listening to a recording of "Panis Angelicus" by a certain ex-choirboy who bears the Archangel's name.
All my best wishes!

D. Earle

I love the Phantom of the Opera and their was no-one better than Micheal and Sarah

I wished micheal crawford had played the phantom in the movie

We need you to come to Nashville, TN. I'm a big fan of yours and your voice is simply magic. Thanks for the memories.

Dear Mr. Crawford,
I think that i have written before and i just have to tell you that you are my idol and i have been listening to ur music for a while now (The Phantom of the Opera)...My dream was to see you perfrom but the sad thing is that you stopped doing the Phantom before i was born. I am 12 now and your music has pursuaded me to take my life and gear it towards music. I either want to sing in The Phantom of the Opera, or play in it with my trumpet. You have had a major impact on my life. I just wish that you never stopped playin the Phantom because you were so good and i have listened to clips of your recent concert and I still think that you could play the part again. You still and always will have the voice of the Angel of Music. I love you!

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THROUGH YOUR WELL ORGANISED WEB SITE HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THE VOICE OF MR. MICHAEL CRAWFORD. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE! AND ALSO HIS ACTING TALENTS. SOME MOTHERS DO 'AVE THEM IS STILL ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SITCOMES. I COULD SAY THAT I NOT ONLY GREW UP WITH IT BUT ALSO I AM AGEING GRACEFULLY WITH IT TOO!AND FOR THE RECORD PHANTOM OF THE OPERA WAS AND STILL IS A HUGE SUCCESS HERE IN THIS TINY BUT BEAUTIFUL ISLAND OF MALTA. IT WOULD REALLY BE A GREAT EXPERIENCE IF OUR ISLAND WAS TO GREET THIS EQUALLY GREAT SINGER FOR A CONCERT HERE. HE HAS MANY MANY ADMIRERS.I CONTINUE TO WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LONG AND ALREADY SUCCESSFUL CAREER

I am a huge fan of Michael, But there was a quesion I wondered for years. How did he get the mask to stay on in Phantom? If anyone knows this, please tell me!

I absolutely love your voice Michael, I am only 14 so my friends think it strange that the only songs on my mp3 player are yours! Even my family think i'm a bit weird but whats wrong with being different, i learnt not to judge from Phantom so i am now my own person and won't change for anyone. Alot of peoples voices don't stay as good through the years but from the days of Hello, dolly! to the present day your voice is still wonderful!

Hello Michael, Seeing you (your images) again warms my heart. You still have that affect from the first moment I saw you after one of your LA "Phantom" performances. Continued success for you, Mary www.maryracheldudley.com

I am a huge fan (one of many over here). Will you please please please come do a show in South Africa? I know it really of the beaten track, but it would be amazing!

Dear Michael~
LOL you are so clueless..........grin! I cannot begin to tell you how much you,your music and your generosity has touched our lives. My daughter Lauren 11, lives with a life threatening illness called Rett Syndrome, there is no cure nor treatment at the present time,her life expectancy is unknown, she is unable to walk or talk and is permanentlly homebound from school due to a low immune system. She is, however, able to understand what is said to her. I believe her first love, lol, next to her Mom of course, is music. The expressions on her face are pure magic, what a beautiful sight I truly wish that you could see. Lauren does vocalize in her own way and when she hears your music well..........I tell her she's going to be an opera singer too:-) She's my little star in such a big way, also my Hero!!!
Please know that Lauren was also the recipient of a project Linus afghan and dearly loves it, so very special to her. Thank you and all who contribute to such a worthy and wonderful cause......you have brought love and comfort to a very special little girl.....

With love and affection,

Anita & Lauren Walker

Could you tell Michael this.
I love your serie Some Mothers Do 'Ave Em, It is so hilarious.
You know one of the Christmas Specials when you go flying. That is so funny. And what was it really like actually flying. Who was helping you do the loop thingy.

Hello!!!
I'm not the biggest Phantom fan, or the oldest, but I still call myself the #1 POTO lover.(Please nobody kill me, the title is sharable!) I'm 16 and I've been singing proffessional operatic voice since I was nine. My mum's had several ALW recorded collections, which I liked but never flipped out about until in 8th grade my gifted English teacher read an excerpt from... you guessed it, POTO! I officially flipped out. First i bought the book. Then came the Sarah Brightman/ Micheal Crawford version CD, then the Robert Englund 1989 version of the film and so on.

dear michael crawford,
i really like the phantom of the opera and when i was six years old we went away with my fathrs side and my papa did not know that the phantom of the opera tape was still in my papa"s van.
i also really like your sining.we also had lunchat the rosi crown in epcot london england. ps pleas wright me back
from your fan jenna puleo

Dear Michael,

I still remember the very first time I heard you sing. It was, of course, the Phantom soundtrack and your voice captivated my heart and soul! I have been to see every appearance you have made in Queensland for the last 10 years and I have also been fortunate enough to meet you in person. You were also kind enough to reply to a letter I wrote you. I hope one day I have the opportunity to meet you again so I can tell you just how much your music has meant to me and what an important part of my life you've been.

Take care and may God continue to bless you.

Love Alana.

Hi, I am a huge fan and would just like to know - will you please come do a show in South Africa? I know there are a number of us who will fall over our feet to get tickets. Please please please!
Yours truly
Liesl

Mr. Michael Crawford

It's a pleasure for me have found this page, because i needed to congratulate you about the great roll you played.
I refered to thje Phantom of the Opera.
I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO ASSISST TO THE THEATRE THE TIME IN WHICH THIS WORK WAS BEING PLAYED ON MY COUNTRRY.
THAT IS VERY RARE THE PRESENTATION OF THE GREATEST WORKART.

WHEN I KNEW YOUR VOICE ON THE ORIGINAL CD I GET EMCHARMED, I HAVE LISTENED AND WATCHED GERRD BUTLER IN THE ADAPTED FILM OF THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, BUT AT NOT BEING CONFORMED I TRIED TO FIND THE ORIGINAL WORK AND VOICES.YOUR VOICE AND THE VOICE OF SARAH BRIGHTMAN.

I FELT IN LOVE OF THE WORK.

my grandma had me listen to the phantom of the opera cd and i loved it.i hope i get to see you preform someday.

All of your FANS here would love for you to come to CANADA and give us a concert...Think about it please............ Thanks so much..

Great site for a great man/artist.

I saw the phantom the first week it appeared on the West End.
It became my favourite musical.
I also became a MC fan. No one else deserved to play the phantom in te film. Shame on you Hollywood....

Just wanted to say that i was really surprised to see how old you are. We watched Some Mothers Do have em for years and really really thought it was funny. Well, more greas to your elbows

michael any chance your concert in la later this month can be made into video?

Mr. Crawford,
I have read many of these comments and I agree with everybody when they say you are inspiring, gracious, kind, and of course, VERY talented! I only wish I was around to see you perform in Phantom of the Opera! I fall asleep listening to you singing Music of the Night every night to help me go to sleep. When i hear you sing I fell like I have no problems and everything is right. So whenever I'm upset I turn on your CD and listen to it. I LOVE Gethesmane!!! But it does make me cry a little! Will you ever perform in Orlando or in Florida at all? Because if you do I am DEFINATELY going to one of your performances! My mom says she is willing to pay whatever it costs to see you perform! I love how you really "get into" the songs when you perform! Thats one of the things that makes a true artist! Its always been a dream of mine to meet you! Even when I was little I would watch Hello Dolly and dance to "It takes a woman". I would march around the house and sing at the top of my lungs! Me and my friend Stephanie and my couzin Ashley are the only 12 and 13 year olds I know that are obsessed with your music! You are truly my angel of music!

Thank you for letting the world hear your lovely voice!
-Hannah Hughes

Dear Micheal Crawford,
Hi my name is Zack and I just wanted to tell you how much I admire and look up to you. Even though im still just a teenager I one day hope to be the Phantom it has been my dream ever since my grandma used to put on her tape of Phantom when I was around 2. Id dance and sing every part infact I recently did a Talent Show and I sang Music of the Night, even though I didnt win I still got really good reviews.

Hi! Michael Crawford, you are one of the most talented and wonderful of people. I'll never forget the first time I heard about you, it was when you performed 'The Phantom of the Opera'. You are my favorite Phantom! At that time I didn't know what you looked like, and when I saw 'Hello Dolly!' I tried to point which character you were, and I knew you were Cornelius Hackl, I recognized the voice from when you played the White Rabbit in 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'! I knew it was you when you popped from the basement and said: "You stamped, Mr. Vandergelder?" I'll never forget that! Aaawww! Your voice is so wonderful! I love to hear you sing! And you're so hilarious!! I've seen the Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em show, and you're just adorable!! You're just too adorable!! I love the introduction to this website! I hope you do get a chance to read this because I want you to know how wonderful you are, I only wish I could have had the chance to see you in Phantom, but I was only born in 1988, ha ha! I do wish I could meet you! **Ohhhhh, Betty! (I love Frank Spencer!)**
Sincerely,
Christine :)

Dear Mr Crawford,

I've always had the fondest memories of you as a child (I'm now 34) So my first was in 'some mothers' Unfortunatly I was never able to see you preform live, I have just read your biography which at moment moved me to tears and others giggling like a fruit cake. My Mum died when I was 16 (I fully understand how you felt when you lost your mum)I remember she was such a fan of yours we used to sit and watch every week, I was so small but we would just laugh and laugh, I have a 14 year old son with ADHD who suffers from a lot of the type of thing you did as a boy, I just hope that he can eventually channel his energies well... anyway in the hope that you do read this can I just say cos I'm babbling on....Thankyou for all you've given to everyone your career has touched me with all your incredible versitile talent has given the industry, film, TV and Theatre so much.

Dear Michael,
i also want to say that you are the only person that i can imagine playing "The Phantom." You are now and always will be the angel of music to me.

Dear Michael,
i am only 12 years old but i love your music, i have never actually seen you perform but it it my dream to. Not that long ago watched the recent "The Phantom of the Opera" and even though i love the movie, it disappointed me because you werent in it. I hope you come to Cleveland, Ohio so my dream will come true and i will actually see you perform. I am waiting for that day to come. I love you Michael!!!

Dear Michael Crawford,
When I saw the movie, "Phantom of the Opera" last year I became so engrossed in the music and the production. Then, I searched on the Internet and found the original cast of the show with you and Sarah Brightman and I thought the music was so much better then the movie cast. I thought you and Sarah Brightman just had divine voices and I can never get enough of the music. Every time I listen to the music it just inspires me and makes me feel as If Im a part of it.Even though, I am only a teenager I would love to see the Phantom of the Opera play one day and hopefully you too, live. Good luck!

DEAR MICHAEL CRAWFORD,
I AM ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST FANS AND I HAVE ALL YOUR DVDS AND CDS. I SAW YOU IN CONCERT YOU HAVE A GREAT SINGING VOICE. I WILL BE THIKING ABOUT YOU WHEN I AM AT THE WINNI THE POOH BRAEREAKFAST AND WHEN WE ARE AT THE ROSIN CROWN IN EPCOT.
LOVE JENNA PULEO

I say it again and again:
why don't you go to switzerland for a concert? Switzerland is a fine place for concerts, cause it's in the middle of Europe. I know my message is useless, anyway...

Hi, Great site ! Was a great day today, because I met this wonderful woman... however it was breif and her name is Julie. Hey, Julie or anyone that knows Julie... Please contact me at [email protected] - We met and, Julie had an incredible tattoo of PoA mask and M.C's name above and below it. She told me about this site and If you're out there, Julie, and you get this - Find me!!

I love your eyes and spirit~ My angel of the night?

William!

WHen I was 12 I first heard Michael sing in Phantom. I was hooked and now own numerous albums, videos of interviews and performances as well as a letter from Michael himself.
Not only is he incredibly talented, but to care for humanity the way he does speaks volumes about the character of this man.
The last time I saw him perform I was in tears, just to be able to see him live. Hopefully I'll have that chance again one day!
Cheers!

i was ten when i first heard micheal crawford singing music of the night at my drama class - ten years on i'm still hooked . you are the phantom and watching you sing sends shivers down my spine. i have seen phantom so mant times and plan to go to see the 20th anniversery show in october , i just wish i was old enough to of been able to have seen u in person as the phantom my aunt did and agrees with me u are simply amazing xx

Hi Michael,
It's been ten years I have been a member of the Fan Association now. Still enjoying it every bit as much Keep up the good work and please nev ber stop singing. I never get tired of listening to your music.

Hi!I don't know whether you will read this or not but...
I must say your voice is remarkable. Whenever I listen to you I feel like you are the angel of music. You hvae the most amazingly beautiful voice ever!

What can I say? What can I do? So many words to say, but now, I'm all empty..

I love watching videos/clips from different musicals/shows you've been in. Especially 'The Phantom of the Opera', which is my favorite musical ever, and you ARE the phantom!
I've got all your cd's and dvd's.. but unfortunately I've never been able to see you live..
So pleeease, could you think about coming to Denmark, where I live?!?
;)

You've got a lot of fans here. we're really many who adore you!!

Best regards
Karen

dear mr crawford i realize you probably will never read this but on the off chance that you do i just wanted to say how much i have enjoyed all of your work at least the work that i am able to see i was unable to see you as the phantom even though it is my favorite show i have found very bad quality video snips on the web your pbs concert was amazing i know it is your job but the passion that flows from you and not just your voice but facial expression and body movement makes me weak in the knees i know this impossible but i would like to meet you and know the real person ig you are ever in chicago or st louis i am but a couple of hours away tell me when and where. or correspondence would be perfect because i would like to get to know you and no i have never wriiten anything tlike this before

michael just wanted to know if your showin calif. was going to be viedo or on tv, it would be a great show. i love all of your music and have meany of your dvd and vhf. take care and stay well.

Hi
If you yourself ever get to read my resopnse to your website, I think that it is great. I was just informed yesterday that I was going to see The Phantom Of The Opera in Vancuver in Auguest. I was really exited because i had stared as Christine in this musical in a production my singing coach was putting on. i am in vocal training in opera and i wish to prusue this talent as a career. i also now the phantom off by heart. i could just write it all down here, but im affraid that would take to long. pardon my spelling.......im not the best in the world.(day in holywood..he he ). it would be an honner for you to put back a response....until next time...he's there the phantom of the opera( The phantom of the opera is there inside my mind)
Respectfully Yours
Bree Ann T.........
have a nice one

Michael,
Since I was six years old you have touched my heart with your music. Now here I am about to turn eighteen, I have the same dream I have had for the past several years; to play the part of the Phantom and have YOU sitting front and centre. You are my hero, my idol, and my personal God. If you ever needed a kidney, mine's here for the taking. Providing A: Our bloodtypes matched. and B: You promised to stick around to see me sing.

I love you Michael!!!
