The insane thing is, at the time Michael Crawford was known to be a physical comedy actor, so many people went into Phantom expecting it to be a goofy show. Apparently during intermission at previews, everyone was going to the payphones and going ''you're....not gonna believe this..."

In an interview with Lloyd Webber I learned the following. Crawford wanted to extend his repertoire to get more work and decided to take singing lessons. Lloyd Webber was visiting someone who shared premises with the singing coach and heard the voice and asked, "Who is that?" When the reply came, "It is Michael Crawford having a singing lesson" Lloyd Webber said, "I have found my Phantom."

As it happens, the reason that the Phantom has a half mask is because Michael Crawford found himself unable to properly convey the Phantom's emotions with a full mask as seen in the official branding of the musical. Those few seconds are clearly testament to this, as with a full mask the Phantom would have simply looked on stone faced.

@Zamigirl It's definitely a song, meant for a waltz. Who wouldn't want to dance with Michael, as he either sang this to them directly, or played a recording in the background? (6/1/2024)

He moves so smooth and softly light on his feet which for his character would make sense because he's a magician and an illusionist

I have seen this show 5 times. Twice with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman. The first was the opening night for the public. What a thrill, What a cast, What a musical score

I much prefer this version. No empty spots. It flows.

Michael’s performance is truly mesmerising. He literally has me in a trance every time I watch him. He’s a truly remarkable actor. His mannerisms are so on point with the character he is portraying. He was like this as Frank Spencer as well. He truly convinces you of the role he’s playing and you have a hard time distinguishing fact from fiction.

Although my favorite Christine and Raoul have changed over time, nobody has managed to knock Michael Crawford from the top spot on my list. In my opinion, he embodies the role like no other.

As an example I’m looking at Lea Salonga compared with Frances Rufelle’s original Éponine (Lea is of course brilliant) but a good example.

Tbf Ramin does a bit, but he has the advantage of having sung the sequel too, so gets a layer deeper than most...

These lyrics that you hear originated from the Richard Stilgoe lyric performed at Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sydmonton Festival in 1985. There should still be a video on KZread of Colm Wilkinson performing these lyrics. It's different again, but many of those lines survived into this version. Stilgoe was the original sole lyricist, but then he and Andrew felt they needed another lyricist as it wasn't working out the way they'd hoped. Enter Charles Hart. It's his lyrics on the original cast album and the productions. The video here still has his lyrics, but they use more of Stilgoe's original lines.

I remember once I've been in NYC with my parents in 1997. I was crazy about seeing this show but the tickets were so expensive for us we couldn't afford it. The box office attendant said finally wait there are three tickets in the row 50 of the orchestra we said yes. The night of the show we enter the theatre gave the tickets to the person that help us and we headed to the back she called us. No it's this way and we followed. It happened that the seats were in the first row in the middle. We saw each other and we couldn't believed it. When the orchestra starts with this amazing pipe organ that filled us with the illusion it made us vibrate our bodies. My mother and I saw each other and we were crying about the emotion. Then in the beginning an enormous chandelier falls right on top of our heads I could feel the breeze and falls on stage. The director of the orchestra and the singer were fabulous I fell in love with the music of Weber. I'm eternally thankful to that man that with just that enormous gesture made us so incredibly happy.

He has such a warm voice.

Sarah saved all the blinks for the end of this clip.

I am from a very rural place, and I did not know that this musical existed until I heard the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum Corp cover this music in 1988. I have a diverse musical education, including 8 years with the clarinet, and this is one of my all time favorites. Crawford will most likely never be surpassed in his performance of this song. His performance is perfect. Tone, intonation, and phrasing are very near perfect.
