I was very lucky. I got to see Michael in LA one week before he retired from playing Phantom. The crazy thing was offered 2k for 2 tickets right at top of the escalator. I am so glad I turned it down. One of my life’s greatest pleasures was seeing the only true Phantom perform.

I’m so pleased this segment was filmed. Crawford is the embodiment of the Phantom. Not only because he was the ALW original, (fresh concept), but because all facets of his performance worked. Seductive yet powerful vocals Makeup is true to form (Phantom was not a misunderstood handsome “bad boy”. He was a dungeon-dwelling sympathetic monster with musical genius). Crawford’s mannerisms and movements perfectly encapsulate the 1925 Lon Chaney performance. My only sorrow is that we never got at least one filmed ALW full-show with the original cast to be preserved and enjoyed forever.

There's so many beautifully performed Phantoms out there, and I know that ALW always envisioned more of a rock vocal, but I cannot see past Crawford as Phantom. There's such a haunting, sinister but sensual quality to his approach, I don't know how anyone compares. For me, he is the only one.

Best phantom ever! His voice is so eerie yet beautiful… this is my favourite musical because of his character! He’s so evil because that’s all he’s ever known from his deformity and tortured past. He loves her so deeply but he doesn’t know how to deal with it because he’s been alone and that’s all he’s ever known. I really think he is the angel of music!

Billy was one of my favourites. Great music and Crawford was brilliant. Won't say that it was an underrated show because it was very popular until MC left it. I was lucky enough to see it several times and I also saw him in Phantom, the first time at a preview performance before it officially opened. My boss at work came in the day after opening night and smugly said that he had been to see it on the opening night. Didn't like to say that I had already seen it!!
