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!

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!!!

Nick Berquist

The best singer and actor like I had never seen before.
I first met Michael when I saw he singing with Sarah Brightman in "The Phantom of the Opera". It was amazing.
Michael, you're the best!

Still hoping that someday you'll come to Canada and do a concert.... You have fans here too you know......

Dear Michael,
maybe it will be a few drops in the great ocean of tributes that, certainly, you receive every single day, but is my humble gift to you. A way to thank you for your art.

Please, follow the link above:

Truly your,

Years ago, while in high school, my daughter found a song, "Any dream Will Do", artist listed as unknown. She shared it with me. I lost it but the song kept going thru my head (6 years). With the help of the internet, I finally found yours and if it is not the same, I cannot tell the difference. (Not to discredit all of those other artists I found, but your version really is Amazing".)
Thank you,
Bernie
P.S.
I send my daughter my discovery. She is now with The Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. It will be a pleasant surprise for her also.

What can i say Michael? YOU ARE ACE. YOU ARE THE BEST. THERE IS NO ONE IN THE WORLD LIKE YOU

i was looking through the vidio clips and watched the museum song not evan having a clue what he was saying! I enjoyed watching the efx vidio and get a kick out of watching some mothers do av' em' the zipper story was funny as well and i enjoy seeing the many pictures on the side like the alice in wonderland white rabit picture me and my friend were laghing so much because that was a funny picture and i enjoy seeing the site and i come on whenever i can to watch the museum song from barnum and i would really enjoy it if you put a Dance Of The Vampires vidio clip in there! and i really enjoy the music a lot so keep going mcifa and going!

Hi Michael,
Ijust wanted to say that you really are the best. no really. Ithink that any kid would be happy to you as thier father.Any way Ilove Phantom. Sometimes I wish I was the phantom. You know All alone. And most of the time I wish EFX was real.
truly yours, Angel

Dear Michael,

I apologize, but I ll write to you in my own language (Portuguese). It s hard to me to express all my admiration for your art in other way:

Há muito tempo, conheço seu trabalho, desde "Hello, Dolly", talvez o primeiro musical a que assisti no cinema. Aqui, chegaram os ecos de seu imenso triunfo em "The Phantom of the Opera", assim como os prêmios que você mereceu. Porém, somente agora, talvez por um imenso golpe de sorte, descobri a imensa legião de fans que incansavelmente trocam informações a seu respeito e o idolatram incondicionalmente.

Apenas para dar uma pálida idéia do quanto o admiro, neste instante, escrevo ao som de suas músicas, muitas delas, todas a que posso ter acesso...

Minha admiração vem-se tornando uma obsessão - sadia, no entanto! - a que tenho dedicado várias horas.

Sei que seus compromissos são muitos, e que meu país talvez nunca tenha sido cogitado para um tour seu, mas, quem sabe, um dia você nos dê a honra e a alegria de um concerto?

Um grande abraço, e todo, o mais possível, sucesso sem limites para você. E que todos os seus sonhos se tornem realidade, sempre.

Saúde e paz,

Maria-Luiza

Hi Michael,

You are the best! I love phantom, EFX,
Barnum, and there all just incredible.
I collect phantom stuff and most of them have your name on it.Alot of kids at my school call me weird because I'm obsessed with phantom. Apperently theve never heard you sing.
I first heard phantom when I was SIX.
My mom would always practice the music becouse she wanted to sound like Sarah Brightman.All I ever heard was "All I Ask of you" and "Think of Me".But one day I WAS passing by her room , then all of a sudden Angel of music (mirror)
came on.At first I diddnt know what it was.Then I heard "Music of the Night" for the first time.As soon I heard it I fell in love with IT.
Over the years I became more and more obsessd.I finally saw the play in 2001.
I was a bit upset that I dident see you perform.Now I'm 11 years old.
Im bit of a performer too.
Im in the drama Club at my school.We just did "THE LION KING." I think you would have enjoyed it. I played Scar.
Heres a couple of questions Ive always
to ask you. Are you catholic?Were you ever married?Heres an IMPORTANT one,were you nervous to kiss Sarah Brightman in front of her husband Andrew Lloyd Webber in phantom?
I wish I could meet you in person.My family is, well semi poor.If we want McDonalds WE have to oder from the $1 menue. Well If you can write me back.

your big phantom phan,
Angel Enos

Hello to Michael and fans,
Just wanted to say hi and to say that I'm also a fan since hearing the OLC. Michael, you have a great voice and a gift for comedy!

Annaleah

I just wanted to ask you a last thing... Are you sometimes tired of all your fans? (I can perhaps say that, but I'm a fan of yours ^_^!)
love, clem

Dear Michael,
I have been listening to the Phantom of the Opera record for more than one year. You voice is simply marvellous.
If I could, I would go to one of your concerts... but they are all either in Australia or America.

I was wondering if one of your phantom performance exists on DVD? Cause I was really desapointed by the phantom movie...

If it doesn't exist, I just hope once, it will (?)

Love,
Clémentine

Hey Michael! The Phantom of the Opera is my favorite musical EVER and you can't top Sarah Brightman AND yourself!
I listen to the CD all the time and it's my faveorite. You sounded amazing!
My dream is to be on Broadway and you and Sarah Brightman have inspired me even more!
I have seen the movie and the stage vesion of Phantom and the stage is way better. I didn't get to see it when you and Sarah were in the cast but I really wish that I could have.
You, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sarah Brightman are all awesome!

Sarah

Dear Micheal, I remember watching some mothers many years ago in the UK, I was recently watching reruns here in NZ with my kids and we laughed so much, I told them that you did your own stunts but they don't believe me, especially the roller skate episode, please put them out of their misery and by the way good on yar cobblers.

Hi Michael! A few weeks ago, I finished listening to the original London cast recording of The Phantom of the Opera on my record player and I really enjoyed it (especially on the song its self). I also enjoyed listening to the bit when the chandelier comes down and the Phantom's laughter when it came dowm. It surprised me a bit because I have seen the film and wasn't expecting him to laugh at the chandelier dropping down and at the ending of 'All I Ask of You' on the original recording I've seen bits of the stage version on some of the extra bits on the DVD of the film and the bit on the stage that looked a bit scary was the bit when the Phantom comes up in this huge bat-like shadow that fills the stage before someone gets hanged. I feel really sorry for the Phantom and I think there's nothing wrong with him; he just wants to be like everybody else but they're not giving him the chance. I'm hoping that I'll eventually get the original recording on a CD for my birthday in eight weeks time. If not, I might as well stick to my record.

Dear Michael.
I have reciently been to see The Phantom of the opera in London's West End which was a dream come true for me as it was organised as a suprise by my mum (who came to see phantom in 1988 and adores the music) stepdad and best friend for my 18th birthday back in April and I had absolutely no idea. I had only seen the special edition DVD with you singing Music Of The Night, I was completely blown away. I think you have an absolutely beautiful voice as there is such a unique gentleness in it which i adore and your acting for such a complex character is outstanding from any I have seen. you portrayed the phantom to be so sadly misunderstod and so full of love, I think that is a perfect portrayal of such an intriguing person, i cry every time i see it, it is so overwhelming.

I have just sent off for the original Cast recording of Phantom. Aside from that I also loved you in Some Mothers do Ave Em. I used to watch videos of this with my great Grandma who sadly died 3 years ago we were so close, so they carry very happy memories for me.

I am devastated that you no longer perform Phantom but Earl Carpenter did play the phantom wonderfully in the west End with Rachell Barrell who was also ace, so did Gerard butler in the film but there is nothing like getting the experience of the theatre. Because of this wonderful performance I will remember my first time at the theatre for ever.

I must finally say that you are a complete star and amazing human being. I am so proud to have finally lived my dream. I hope you are in better health now.
Take good care of yourself and be happy.

love Claire ( 18 now Yay!!!)

Hello! I really enjoyed your performance in 'The Phantom of the Opera'. I bought the 1987 cast recording about two months ago, on a whim, and fell in love with it. You have a wonderful talent, and I hope you can do a show in San Antonio someday.

hi i j/ whated to say thet you r the best ever and i have one of your moves thet your werer in w/ barbra streisand and a cd of hers thet u are on and u are relly good

Really some people on here need to get over themselves, Michael Crawford never seemed disappointed that he didnt get the role for the phantom movie, and comments like "what ever gave GB the idea he thought he could play the Phantom???" are just lame.

I have the highest respect for michael, I grew up watching him on UK tv in Some mothers do have em' I love the OLC recording, it was the first I heard, but people move on, Michael sounds great on the OLC recording of Woman in White, I would have loved to see his Count Fosco.

Michael, you are a wondeful human being, I hope you are on the road to good health now.

much love AOM
