Here's to the original and best Phantom!! I went with my husband to see you in "The Music of ALW" in Chicago back in the 90's and we were both awestruck with your voice! I think we wore out the soundtrack playing it so much over the years! You tube has your performances on it and I have to be grateful, since I will always remember that your rendition always made me care the most for the Phantom - God Bless and come visit Chicago again, we miss you!!

I have been very fortunate to have met you several times over the years.. at the backstage door at "Phantom" in Los Angeles, "EFX" Signing and MCIFA gathering, but the most treasured meeting was the one in San Francisco when you toured with "The Music Of ALW". It was my birthday and I spent about 20 minutes with you after the show, just hanging out in your dressing room. Great memory. Thank you Michael!

Hi Michael i am a huge fan of some mothers do 'av 'em. And i am currently co writing a script i was wondering how could i approach the BBC on commissioning a new series?

Dear Mr. Crawford,
I am a young-yet great-fan, only twelve turning thirteen soon in Sept. I have always loved Phantom of the Opera ever since I first saw it two years ago as the movie. I must say I became obsessed with it and began surfing youtube for anything that had to do with it, I of course found Music of the Night by Michael Crawford. I clicked on it and was astounded by one of the most wonderful voices I had ever heard! I stopped my obsession turning to my books and school. Until I went recently on a site this summer that excepted fan-fiction and began writing many Phantom of the Opera stories with you as my inspiration, and my obsession for the wonderful phantom took off. Therefore I started listening to the music again. Although I liked and like Gerard Butler's phantom I started listening so much more to your's. As I listened more to your's I started listening to all of your albums and realized how amazing and soul lifting your voice is! I have recently discovered the album, On Eagle's Wings, which brought me to tears because not only was it very good music but your voice made it all the more better. Since I am a teenager life can be hard and very stressful, but I find myself more often every day coming home to write (I have hopes of becoming an author when older) and listening to your voice which often relaxes me, helps me think and choose right decisions in life, and makes me very happy. Your voice is absolutely bliss, and I am so glad you have a sense of humor and such a good heart and soul! You are my favorite, besides the book, Erik! I love your humbleness, and the way you act with such passion and really put yourself into the music and your performances. I often find myself humming and singing your songs they bring much joy and happiness. I laughed so much on your Michael Crawford Live in Concert after you sang Gethsemane, good job on that long note! Although I love phantom so much I have not yet seen one performance live, I hope in time I do though, so wish me luck in seeing one and becoming a writer when older!
Sincerely,
A great fan,
Misty

P.S. I have seen some episodes of Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em and I have also seen Hello Dolly, both of which made me laugh. You continue to amaze and help young and old, I wish there were more people like you on earth! (You were my real first celebrity singer and actor crush...hee hee)

Michael Crawford RULES!!!! He is one of the best singer and actor alive. He is my all time favorite.

Hello Michael
I am 76 soon to be 77 on the 5th of Sept. My husband just died last month & I was telling some friends about seeing you at Robin Hood Dell in Phila. I was wondering what had happened to you. I was feeling bad today so I decided to play Michael perform Andrew Lloyed Webber. Feel much better now. Thank you so much for your music. Dolores

Hi, Mr. Crawford:
I write you from Barcelona, Spain. Recently on Tv they played old chapter from "Some mothers do 'Ave 'Em. It was fantastic to remember how much you made me laugh a lot and don´t stop doing. Your profile as an actor was simply splendid. Thanks for all that good moments you gave to us¡¡¡

Have a wonderful time.

hi michael,i just think you are gorgeous,i first saw you live when you were the phantom at her majestys theatre,haymarket.and at the xmas recording of the terry wogan show, then the royal albert hall,(for my birthday)then when i moved to cardiff i saw your show at the cardiff international arena,(for another birthday) which was fantastic, watched your interview and it was fab, its lovely to keep in touch with this site and keep up to date with what you are doing. when are you coming back to cardiff? please dont leave it to long as we are hoping to move to florida,

Mr. Crawford, I think you would be wonderful in role as King Arthur.

I can imagine you singing this song Camelot.

It's true! It's true! The crown has made it clear.
The climate must be perfect all the year.
A law was made a distant moon ago here:
July and August cannot be too hot.
And there's a legal limit to the snow here
In Camelot.

I love all your movies, I have most to all of your cds. I think you are a great Phantom. Please do not retire.

Carol

Hello Michael

It is Vivian sending you my warmest
I saw your video interview and wanted to tell you

Best always

Hello Michael!
It doesn't seem possible that I saw you nearly 16 years ago performing in "The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber" in Pittsburgh, PA. That was an unforgettable concert for me, and I still remember the power of your voice filling the auditorium. No one else will ever sing "Music of the Night" with the absolute magic you do, because that tenderness comes straight from your heart. I think of you often and hope that you are well and happy. All the best to you, my friend, and thank you for giving us so many truly transcendent musical moments.
Love, Pamela

Hey Michael,
Just like to say that it would be great to see you in Australia particularly Perth.It may be a bit further to travel but the weather is the best in Australia. Come on down and say G'Day to WA.

Mr. Crawford seems to me to be among
the legends in the entertainment field,
The likes of, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly,
Danny Kaye, Bing Crosby,and so many
others that have gone on before us.
Mr. Crawford is the type of performer young and old seem to gravitate to for
warmth,his compassion,caring,and his top
notch work. A man who is the BEST in is
field,and whatever he does it shows.
Long may he live to entertain the masses.
God Bless you, Mr. Crawford, Keep on Keep on.

Hi Michael

Just played your on Eagles Wings CD as entry and exit music at my mums funeral. The congregation loved it and didn't want to leave!

I see you have a home in NZ - I am hoping to spend more time there myself some day and have bought some land in Mangawhai. Any plans to do any concerts in NZ?

Good luck

Dear Michael

You bring joy and laughter to those that need it. You are a gift from god. When times are tough I only need to hear your voice and lo and behold a smile is starting to spread across my face. You are a blessing. Love Evie

After seeing Phantom (my first Broadway show) on June 22, 2005, I went home and listened to the original soundtrack. I completely fell in love with your voice, Michael; it melts my heart and gives me reasons to smile through difficult times, especially hearing "The Music of the Night," and "Not Too Far From Here." I just wanted to thank you for sharing your talent and contributing to my happiness.

hiya michael thanks for the letter and photo i will treasure it forever xxxx

My father in-law is a huge phantom fan, he has seen you in NY. Things haven't been going so well for him health wise. I know you are a busy man Michael, but I know he would appreciate an autograph from you. Let me know if this could possibly be done. I greatly appreciate your time. He love's Music of the night.

I just wanted to say how wonderful I think Michael Crawford is!! My mom and I are huge fans and I am hoping that one day Michael does a concert in Pittsburgh that I can take my mom to. IT would be a dream come true for the both of us!! He has a wonderful voice and also a wonderful outlook on life. I just finished rereading his book for the umpteenth time.

COME HOME TO ENGLAND WE MISS YOU!!!! You have so many fans over here that cant get to the States to see you, come home and cheer us all up its been too long!

You are the Music of the Night always xx

I love Michael's singing/acting/etc. I wish they had free membership for those who can't afford to pay for the membership on here though. Believe me if I had the money, I would pay for it, but can't do it unfortunately. :( Great site too! :)

Michael Crawford's music and talent has meant a lot to me over the years. His voice is uplifting and inspiring to listen too. It really moves the soul. I also admire the work he does helping children.
I enjoy all of his work and recordings , especially, "The Phantom of the Opera."
Best Wishes to Michael and all of the people who enjoy his voice and are inspired and uplifted by it.

Dear Mr.Crawford!

I wish you all the best for your upcoming projects!
Wish you would come back home to England for a few concerts...would be a lot easier for a lot of your fans to get to see you...

Lots of love

Eva

Michael I love to hear you sing. You have the voice of an angel! You are also an incredibly nice and funny guy. I just finished listening to some of your interviews on youtube, and they were so entertaining!

Hello!

I'm from Denmark and right now Phantom is runing again at "Det Ny Teater" (The New Theatre) and I went to see it (of course) - and even though the cast did a wonderful job and the lyrics are well translated, it's just not the same as listening to the original cast recording - the main difference being Mr. Crawford.
So that's why I just wanted to pop by (as countless others have done) and say hello and thanks for everything, Michael!

I've bought several of your albums and I hope one day you might come to Denmark :-) (?)

Also a thanks to the wonderful MCIFA!

Sincerly,

Rebecca

Hello "Frank"
I came to like your personality after watching some mothers do 'ave em tv series as a child.
I was unhappy when it wasn't aired anymore.Only to hear from rumours that you died in a plane crash after a documentary you did in Angola.
You can imagine my joy when I discovered that you have not only a fan website but u are still very much alive.
You have a gigantic fan base in Nigeria and I sure bet you that everyone would want to see you perform someday.
Whatever the case, I am your biggest fan.

From spain, sorry for my English.

I've just view an episode of "Mother 'ave' em". I haven't view for a long time, and I still laught :D:D:D:D:D Really funny. I have been surfing over internet to say something like this: Thanks a lot. Thanks to you. To do your character as you do.

Dearest Mr. Crawford,

I have been a fan of yours since I was a little girl. Your music has had the most profound effect upon my life! Growing up I completely immersed myself in your music, entranced by something I couldn't name. I think all these years later I have finally figured out what it is that makes you such an amazing performer and what has made me such an ardent fan! It isn't just the beautiful sound of your voice that makes you successful, it is the heart and enthusiasm that you put into everything that you do! Every single piece of music that I have ever heard you sing was filled with your heart and soul! You never do a half job! You always give everything your all and put all of yourself into it and it really shows! You always make the audience feel exactly what your character feels because there is so much raw emotion in your performances! What an amazing gift! That is very rare and you are the best at it!

Your enthusiasm and love for what you do is also very evident when you perform as well and to tell the truth, it was you and your emotion, enthusiasm, and your magical voice that inspired me to want to be an actress as a little girl! My whole life that was what I wanted to be. Well it never worked out, but now I'm working on starting a career as a voiceover artist, hopefully recording books, commercials, etc. and though it isn't theater, you still inspire me!

Thank you so much for a lifetime full of beautiful music and magical memories!

Your friend,
Katie Z.

Hi, Had lunch in the Dog & Fox in Wim. Village and thought of you! Wonderful memories of Billy, Barnum, Algernon and of the laughs we had at the recordings of Some Mothers - those were the days. Hope you are well. Think of you often and would love you to come back to the UK sometime soon, you've been away too long!
All my love,
Jill 50% of your 'meals on wheels' service!

please come back to the uk we miss u lotsa love Tina and Jill

Michael, I had the honor to sit in the orchestra pit, two seats back and watch you in the "Music of Andrew Lloyd Weber" in Detroit Michigan.

I'm sure you heard about Susan Boyle. It would be awesome for the two of you to be on stage together.

If she is willing to leave her village, she would be an instant star on stage.

Blessings to you - Jeanette

Dear Michael

Happy Easter!
I hope you are well and happy :)
You should come back to England again soon!

Love Katie

PS. I past a sign yesterday for Sheerness whilst driving past Kent.

Hello Michael a late happy birthday message for you. please come to ENGLAND ONE DAY SOON i would love to be able to see you in concert live. i am 30 so i was to young to see you in phantom but become a fan in the last five years of the phantom and your voice, i have grew up watching you in some mothers do ave em and loved you in that . please.......come one day we love you here. janine

Mr. Crawford

I have been a fan of yours since I was 14 years old. When I first got my hands on the original Broadway cast album of The Phantom of the Opera, I recognized your name as that silly man, Cornelius Hackl, from Hello,Dolly! A personal favorite. I couldn't imagine that adorable little voice from that movie being powerful enough to carry the role of the emotionally shattered character of the Phantom. I was definitely shown how wrong I could be. I could hear the pain and suffering in your voice when you reached out to Christine with your love. I could also feel the anger that you had towards everyone that had hurt you in the past. I could feel the happiness and relief that you had whenever Christine was near you.

I knew that nothing could ever be the same after I was opened up to this beautiful piece of artwork that I had in front of me.

I wanted to physically see what you had to offer this character, so I went to my trusty youtube to help me out. And, oh my God, your hands! You have the most beautiful hands! Your hands would reach out to her with all of the longing and pain in the world. It was all so beautiful.

I've seen random interviews of you and you seem to be the most kind and caring and beautiful person that I've ever seen. One wish that I have is to eventually meet you sometime in my lifetime and talk with you one on one. I'm sure that by the time I would be with you, I'd forget how to speak!

I would just love to thank you for everything that you've done for me. I'm sure you would have no idea how much you have done for me. All I can say is that you've changed my life. For the better, don't worry. :)

-Emily-

Dear Michael, I have been your fan since I was sixteen and now more than 20 years have gone by... You are the only idol in my heart. Will you plan a concert/tour in Asia (Taiwan or Hong Kong)? Really look forward to having the opportunity hearing you sing live at least once in my life.

I just had to say thank you Michael. You inspired me to be in the theater. The first time I hard you sing was not in Phantom but rather in Hello Dolly! The song IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT touched me so deeply. I tried my hand at acting and I was good but I found that my talents were even better in the writing and I have been writing ever snce.

HAPPY BELATED 67TH BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY
MICHAEL!
AND HAPPY 21ST BROADWAY BIRTHDAY ERIK.
Hope you do have a great time.
