All the very best to you and your family,

Paul.

I am unsure if this will ever actually reach you, but I felt as though I had to reach out in some way.

I have recently finished watching the taped version of your performance in "Barnum" for the second time, and I am perhaps even more moved by your emotionally raw and incredibly touching acting. I am an actor myself, though only in High School, aspiring to the talent that you possess. Watching that show is like watching a Master Class in theatre for me, because your real and natural presence onstage, not as an actor but as a human, a living breathing character that you brought to life, gives me the perfect role model to aspire to.

Your "daredevil spirit" is a daring and confidence I too take advantage of in trying to bring characters to life. But no doubt watching you has helped direct me as to how to better do that and showcase honest and sincere storytelling.

My apologies for the length of this, but I had to let you know the impact you have had on me in some way. You are one of the greats sir, and after laughing hilariously and crying profusely from "Barnum" twice now, as well as your other works I have seen from "Hello Dolly" and "A Funny Thing", you are truly an inspiration.

Thank you again, and have a great evening.

Sincerely, Michael

You were called Ingrams then I think.

My main reason for writing is to let you know how much I have come to love your music. Your Christmas CD “A Christmas Album” has grown to be my favorite CD of ALL time, and I listen to it year-round. A few years back, I went through a really hard time with anxiety and OCD. But every time I would stop and listen to your Christmas CD when I was feeling the littlest bit anxious, it was like hearing God pour out His love on me through your words about Jesus and His birth. I cannot begin to thank God enough for using you to encourage me through those dark times. Christmas has always been my favorite time of year and your album magnifies it for me. Thank you!

My second reason for writing is to tell you that about four or five years ago I had the privilege of meeting an old friend of yours, Laurie Gayle Stephenson. She was a guest singer at a private dinner for a Bible study of all things. :) She sang, gave her testimony about knowing the Lord Jesus Christ, and then mentioned that she worked on Broadway when she was younger. I believe God was stirring my heart to ask her a question, and I was so shocked when her answer was “yes!” I had asked her if she had ever met Michael Crawford while working on Broadway, and she said “Honey, I worked with Michael!” I was absolutely SO thrilled to find that out! Someone that I was talking to had actually worked with my favorite singer! It was such a wonderful moment, and I am so thankful to have gotten to meet Ms. Stephenson. :)

I also hope that I will be given the privilege to meet you oneday too, Mr. Crawford. But if not here on this earth, then I believe that someday we shall meet in the Presence of the One Who will make all things new.

God Bless you, Mr. Crawford, and thanks again! :) ~Audrey

Saw the Phantom, but not with you in it, sadly, though I did see you in Barnum.

I wish we’d known each other......

Loved your sense of timing, and like Basil Fawlty, the episodes you made are the stuff of legend.

You're an all-right singer too!

Yours faithfully Carl lord.

I wanted to take a moment and just say how thankful I am of your friendship with mom!!

Have an Excellent & Blessed Day!!

You never fail to bring a smile to my face. Your amazing adaptability in the acting world never fails to amaze me. I loved you in my teens and continue to love you in my Autumn years.

You look like you did many of your own stunts as well, maybe except for the roller skating! Classic English television at its very best.

I would just like to say to Michael, your work has absolutely inspired me in every way. Your performances in everything from Hello, Dolly! to The Phantom of the Opera are brilliant and incredibly nuanced, and as a 16 year old aspiring actor, I would love nothing so much in the world as the chance to meet you and thank you for your work, which was the catalyst for me becoming interested in musical theatre. The Phantom of the Opera means more to me than the air that I breathe, and each time I hear you sing something from the role, my heartbeat quickens and I feel like I am home. I know that it is a slim chance that I could ever be honored with the role of the Phantom, but if I ever do, it will be with respect to the deep understanding and love that you had for the man, and how much he meant to you, because as a young man who knows what he wants to do for the rest of his life, I have no one to thank but you. You have my sincere gratitude and reverence for the wonderful person that you are.

I hope you are very well, and I wish you a (soon to be) Happy 75th Birthday!

Love,Cameron

P.S. I was hoping that I might be able to send Michael a fan letter and, if it isn't too much trouble, a photograph for him to sign. What address can this be made out to?

Merry Christmas Michael, I know you are resting after your time in the Go Between but I hope you have time to answer your mail from your devoted fans, especially the fans from Bristol, who sent you their books, photos etc. to sign
