Mr Crawford, i listen to the Phantom of the opera every single day, more than once a day. You have a very special and unique voice. Thank you!!

Every October we spend a months holiday at Coolangatta Queensland.On our morning walk we pass someone we always think is you. We swap greetings and that is one of the highlights of our holiday. Would really like to know if it is you or just someone who resembles you. theres my husband and son who is a little handicapped. We respect your privacy being the reason weve never approached you. We are all great fans.

michale is i think the best singer i have ever herd.sence i herd him sing i have started singing.michale if you read this i want you to come sing at my birthday.your #1 fan brian goff

Dear Michael,
I love your voice ever since I got the Phantom of the Opera. Let me just ask you this, I never that you were in Andrew Lloyd webber's 'The Woman in White.' Did you enjoy that show? I mean being in it. You are just amazing. You are my favorite actor. I just love you. You and your voice. I hope you are still in that show the Woman in white. Thanks very much for letting me sign your Guestbook. And God Bless you.

I forgot one thing-if you ever come to NZ again, you should do a concert in the South Island, because I'm sure there's fans in the South Island who couldn't get to Auckland (such as myself :)
Plus the South Island is just as beautiful as the rest of New Zealand :)

Dear Mr. Crawford,
I'm 14 and I'm a total musical theatre nut :). I watched 'Hello, Dolly' recently, and you were just brilliant! Someone else could have played Cornelius Hackl so that he was annoying, but you made him so likeable! I've got the soundtrack to 'Phantom' and I adore that too. It's kind of hard to visualise you as the Phantom because I've only seen you play cheerful characters, but you sound totally Phantom-ish on the CD. And I loved your performance on the 'My Favourite Broadway: The Love Songs'. I just want to say thanks for all the entertainment you've given me, and all the other fans who have been lucky enough to see you perform live. Who knows, maybe when I finally get to Broadway someday you'll still be performing...
All the best with everything--you rock!

Yours admiringly,
Gen :)

P.S.
Great website too, by the way!

Hi again. This really is a pretty cool website, it's certainly very helpful. You know what? I feel it would be so nice to see Michael Crawford in Concert somewhere over here someday. There are quite a few people here who happen to be fans of his. I hope that he considers it.

Dear Mr. Crawford,
You’re the best phantom of the opera, your voice is amazing. And I think Some Mothers do av’em is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. Come down to Australia some time. :)

My very Dear Michael,

Hey, It's me. Just popped in to say hi. Your website is amazing!I really enjoyed looking around!:) I'm still thinking about becoming a member...

Yours Truly, Em

I love your phantom preformence

I hav been a HUGE Michael Crawford fan since fisrt hearing his voice in Junior High. He was my first real "Theatre Hero" and I have always kept his book close by. He has always been an inspiration to me and I look forward to many more years of his humor, voice, and (hopefully) more ACTING!! If I hadnt had the wonderful chance to meet Michael in person so many years ago I might never have pursued theatre as a career and enjoyed the life that I do. Thank you so much, Michael! The world LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!!

hi been a fan since i first saw hello dolly and been hooked ever since.
a joy to know we where both born in salisbury and i grew up in harnham micheals bit of salisbury
great site well done

Michael:

I am a freshmen @ McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland all the way in America. I am taking acting, because I really enjoyed acting in High School. I am required to write an analysis of a character from a play or musical I have seen. I would appreciate if it would be ok if I analyzed you as the Phantom of the Opera. I do listen often to your tape recordings, and the original cast recording. I do sing along, and my Mom can't tell the difference between me or you. I love the music you sing and I am inspired by it. I would appreciate if you could give me your email address so I can keep contacting you. I do not have the money to become a member, but I really would appreciate your help in analyzing your character. What exactly is analyzing your character going to entail. I did see the play, and I understand your character, but help me out with analyzing you. Do please respond to my email address above to help me. Thanks. Again I deeply love your music, and am hosting a halloween social tommorow dressed up as you. Thanks, and god bless. If you are unable to help then I will work with what I have and say "So Be IT"

Hello Mr. Crawford,
I am one of your younger fans. I first became acquainted with your talents when I viewed the film, "Hello Dolly". Later I recognized your name when I picked up the soundtrack of "Phantom of the Opera". I was immediately hooked not just on the "Phantom" but your career. You have a great talent! I congragulate you on all your success. I wish you much more in the future. God bless and good luck.

DEAR MICHAEL I AM ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST FANS I AM A SINGER MYSELF AND WHEN I SING THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT I SING IT JUST LIKE YOU WHEN WILL YOU DO A CONCERT HERE IN THE UK MAYBE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL I SAW CLIFF RICHARD THERE AND THE CLASSICAL SPECTACULAR THERE I SAW YOU IN THE WOMAN IN WHITE YOU WERE AMAZING THANKS FOR BEING MY HERO I GOT ONE MORE QUESTION WILL YOU BE BRINGING OUT A CD OR A DVD OF YOUR NEW CONCERT FROM GARETH BARNETT INGOLDISTHORPE KINGS LYNN

I have been a fan since first seeing Michael film Hello Dolly in NY. I was lucky enough to meet him briefly then. I love everything that MIchael does & think he is one of the greatest talents there is. Please keep the beautiful music coming.

Hi, Michael
I am a big fan of yours.
I checked in today for a special reason – I THINK that I saw you last week in Oakland, California!
It may sound silly and funny to you or others, but I still can’t convince myself that it wasn’t you.
It was on last Monday or Tuesday (10/17, or 18) in a sunny afternoon, I went for a quick walk along the nearby Lake Merritt during my break as usual. But I spied an unusual figure – a gentleman (seems in his 60’s) with running shoes, blue running shorts and a white T-shirt walking toward me. His unique long legs got me think about you immediately. I stared at his face till he passed by me and then I went “OMG! Can it really be Michael Crawford?” I turned around to watch his back a few times and almost went to ask his name. But I didn’t dare to because I thought it was foolish to even think that you could be anywhere close to Oakland.
But when I watched your DVDs again, I can’t help but thinking the gentleman I saw were you. LOL.
So if you ever read my message, please tell me that I was wrong. I know if I wasn’t, I would be kicking myself for not to stop and say Hi to you when passing by you.
Hope you'll bring your concert to California, especially the Bay Area, some day soon.
Best wishes.

Hey Michael. Great news pal.
On Andrew Lloyd Webber's Website, they had the BEST PHANTOM poll.
Well natually, you won. Way to go.
I can hardly wait til January 9th.
Erik's big night, when he DE-CLAWS those Crazy Jellicle Cats(WHANNNNN)LOL.
Best of luck PHANTOM OF MANHATTAN.
I'll be having a special party that night, for You,Andrew, AND Erik.
Bye for now. Vicki.@;-)

Hello Michael,

I am 23 and the first time I saw Phantom of the Opera was in 1993, 12 years ago. After seeing it for the first time I immediately bought the soundtrack. Your voice was such an inspiration to me that I became involved in theatre. You were my first crush growing up, and have been a true person to admire. I am hoping to go to your concert in Orlando. I wish you the best! Congratulations on all your acclaim in Woman in White. Keep up the phenomenal singing and acting!!!!

You're a top man michael

i hope u do a concert in chicago we miss your truly talented voice in the windy city and i havent seen u here for a long time come back to chicago and gives us fans the treat of hearing your wonderful voice fill the theatre with power and precision

past the point of no return no backward glances

Dear Michael,
Enjoy your music. I wonder if you ever thought of doing a remake of The Student Prince?

Hello Michael,
Hopefully coming over to see your new play next year, I really injoyed your last concert in Auckland, its time we saw you hear again,
Elaine

I just wanna say how much I really think you are the most faboulous person in the world!! Your voice it so great and smashingly wonderful. I'm 14 and i'm going to join your fanclub as soon as I'm old enough. My dream is to meet you one day. Please do some concerts in england one day!!! I'm looking forward to watching some mothers do av em, which is on tv tonight(it should be on every week, or better still, every day) You are sooooo great!!!!

hi michael, i love u!!! u were wonderful in Some mothers do ave them!!! its a must see for me anytime, anyday!! never get tired of watching frank!! he is absolutely hilarious and horrendous at the same time!! so loveable!! wish u more n more n more success in ur endeavours!!! cheers!!!

HI, michael my partner is a huge fan of yours and i would love him to meet you or see you in a show but i dont know where to start?? ive got all your videos and dvds for christmas for him and just would love to give him an extra christmas present. so if someone could help me i would be greatful.

Hi Michael! It's such a shame I wasn't alive to see you perfom in The Phantom of the opera, you are a totally amaising person. I think it's really kind of you to be involved in childrens charities, you deserve an award for the worlds kindest man (and the most handsome). I love your music to bits, your voice is so hipnotic and relaxing. I also loved you as Frank Spencer in Some Mother's Do Ave' Em', you were so adorable. I'm 16 and doing a project in art at college and it involves you. We have to do a 'shrine' of our idol/icon. So I picked you, I hope you don't mind. Don't worry, I'm not one of those obsessive fan girls, but I am a BIG fan of yours. I hope you return to England soon. We all miss you. I know you'll probably hear this from all of your female fans, but it's my dream to meet you one day. Even if it's only for one minute, just having the chance to talk to you would be a dream come true. I hope to be joining your fan club very soon. Take care of yourself now. Bye x

Dear Michael,
I am a huge fan of yours & my greatest wish has always been to see you as the Phantom in London. I have seen the show 6 times in the UK & have enjoyed every single one, but would love to see you in the role, will that ever happen again? I have bought the original cast recording CD of Phantom in London & as everyone else has said, you are the one & only; your voice is amazing.
I've just finished reading your autobiography for the second time, first time 6 years ago & thoroughly enjoyed it as much the second time round, your humour is wonderful, had me in stitches many a time!
I also have the DVD of phantom, but there's no comparison with the stage version, no atmosphere.
Thank you for all the enjoyment that you have given to me, as a result of your immense talent.
Take care,
Best Wishes
Lara.

Hi Micheal,
just discovered your fan club so joined.
I recently bought your concert DVD and I love it. I had already heard the CD of the concert but to see it 'live' as it were, made it all the more enjoyable. I love watching you been the phantom, to see the way you 'played' the role with Dale in phantom of the opera was so wonderful to watch. I loved you singing music of the night you make it feel and sound hypnotic. And I love your Jean Kelly act and Andrew and you becoming the phantom.
Keep up the good work. Come and say Hi to us in England soon, but be warned we are having a lot of rain! (what's new eh!!) take care
love Jackie.

Hiya, just so you know, Sandra Nightingale is actually Kat Nixon from LWC! hehehe

Dear Michael

I have enjoyed listening to your wonderful voice. You have the best ever. My son is thoroughly enjoying your "Some Mothers Do Have Them" DVDs. Haven't heard him laugh like that in years.
I hope that one day soon you will be back visiting us in Perth Western Australia.
Thankyou for the enjoyment you give me and my family.

I'm 15 and I wanted to say that i totally love you, your voice is amazing and i am sooo jealous of my mum because she went to see you as the phantom!-i wasn't even alive then. Will you perform in England again?I hope you will, untill that time have fun with your next performances!

MICHAEL CRAWFORD IS, ALWAYS HAS BEEN, AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE REAL PHANTOM OF THE OPERA! GERARD BUTLER?? UH...NO! The man has no expression when he *tries* to sing. On the other hand, Michael's voice just makes you melt!

I am a huge fan I loved you as the phantom in phantom of the opera. I have never seen you perform but i love all your cds.

OMG *is dying from love* Never got to see you perform but I have the CD for Phantom...to die for you are by far the best Phantom ever...Much better than Gerard Butler! He sucked! well thats my opinion...Oh just a comment from my mind...If you happen to get this listen to Christina Jones...Trust me you will love her! ((Shes my voice teacher I would know))

Dear Mr. Crawford,

This is Phil, the executive webmaster of www.chinamusical.net(the No.1 Chinese Musical Site and Forum).

Congrats to your success in the latest concert. To be honest, I really feel so sorry that I couldn't come to watch it with my own eyes. Personally, I am a big fan of you, so is my wife. We always listen to the OLC soundtrack of POTO and really can't find anyone else interpretes Phantom so well as you do.

Besides, there are lots of musical fans who loves you and your voices so much in China, especially in our site. You may have known that POTO has just made its great success in Shanghai, China, by 100 full-house shows. But that is really nothing to us since you were not singing there.

So why don't you plan to hold a concert in China? And I mean Shanghai for sure. Shanghai is a city that combines western and eastern culturals very well so both sides can find their chances there. People here enjoys western music masterpieces as well as they enjoy the delicious Chinese foods. And also, "the Original Phantom" can be a big slogan to attract the audiences just right after the amazing success that POTO has just taken.

Please, please consider about this, Mr. OP!

Dear Mr.Crawford,
I must complaiment on your abilites as EXCELLIANT! The Phantom music,especially puts the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.Phantom,you and many other actors and actresses inspire me so much to go into theatre.Thank you so much for your abilites on your career,you are most indeed awesome!

Hello when are you coming back to Australia?

I agree with Shastri (March 2005 guestbook), you are a wonderful performer and most would pay much to see you in person. I too discovered you long after you stopped performing. Shastri I think I know you? Do you know Tim

Hello,
Although I have never seen you play
"The Phantom" I bought the original cast version after seeing the Majestic Theatre show.

I enjoy your voice, good luck at all of your preformances.

Chloe
