Im 15, and i watched The Phantom of the Opera in Broadway New York. Unfortunately, it wasn't you. I was so disappointed. However, Hugh Panaro was ok as Phantom. Since i got vack from my trip to NY, i have listened to the 1986 Phantom CD 24/7. This is a fact! Most 15 year old's like Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue... I'll stick to Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman! Really, you are a superstar. Music of the Night is the best song in the galaxy. Your acting in Some Mothers do 'ave 'em was extraordinary. It's far funnier than 'Little Britain' and definately 'Bo Selecta'. You are a West End superstar...

I am curious as to whether you actually read this emails? I am disappointed that by the time I became a phantom fan, you have long since ceased performing. I grieve each time I see phantom for not having had the pleasure of seeing you perform live. I have a 10 year old daughter (seen phantom 4x now) and recently took my 4yo son for his first performance. Mere words cannot describe the powerful musical. It perplexes me as to why with such a fan base, why won't you come back? aside perhaps for the fact you performed it for 10 years. Our whole familiy however, listens to your CD of phantom of the opera often and have watched one of your evening with micheal crawford videos we purchased. lovely. Short of being melodramatic, every performer, as well trained as they are, pales by comparison to you. Where are you now? I think we may mortgage our home just to get a chance to see you perform in anything :-). Much love to you from our family who adores you. Sincerely, Shastri

Please get well soon!

We all love you, read your book and found it too funny and warm. I think your mom and your nan did an excellent job in raising you. Remember you must sing always. Hope to see you on Broadway again. Broadway misses their KING. Love always, Tana Mignosi

My sons (14 & 15)think you have an awesome voice and love hearing you in *Phantom*,hunt for more music is in progress, thank you.

Get well very soon!!

I know you will probably never read this, but I will write it anyway.Unfortunatly, I have never seen you as the Phantom, I wish I had. I read the book, and one of the main things in it is that Erik's voice is so beautiful that every one is captivated by it and can't do anything else but listen to it, and I think that really works out for you because I've listened to the Phantom of the Opera sound track so many times and your voice is the most beautiful voice I have evr heard in my entire life. You are perfect for the Phantom,and I was very disappointed with the Phantom in the movie because it wasn't that way for him. I'd do just about anything to see that original play. Thank you for your beautiful voice and perfect Angel of Music.

I hope you get well soon and I promise I won't throw anything at Michael Ball, well nothing too heavy anyway!

Many thanks for being so entertaining,

Melanie

It's hard for me to collect your recordings in Hong Kong. But I luckily find some of these, and also the original cast recording of The Woman in White, because it is the most recent production of (Sir) Andrew Lloyd Webber.

I wish you can get well soon and I will be able to see you on stage in May when I go to London for my graduation tour.

I hope you will be better soon - rest well.

Warmest wishes,

Terry.

Came to London on 19th January to see Phantom of the Opera for the 5th time and as it was my birthday (as well as yours) I went along to the stage door at the Palace theatre to wish you many happy returns.

I was so sorry to learn that you were ill and just wanted to wish to a speedy recovery.

I also had a photograph of you and me that I wanted you to sign, it was taken outside the stage door of the Majestic Theatre in New York when you kindly signed my programme.

Hope you are back in Woman in White in April when hopefully I can get my photo signed.

Love you always Jackie xx

Sadly to say, I too saw the Phantom movie of 2005... highly insulting to both millions of beloved fans, and of yourself. To have such a weak, insecure man portray your key character, is just beyond words in my eyes. As many people have said, no one can play the phantom like you can, and I'll agree with them once more. I don't know if you get tired of hearing the same thing about the movie over and over, because I know you are a little upset at the matter, like we all are, so I shall only make it a small part in my entry to you.

I have seen The Phantom of the Opera twice in my lifetime, and each time I went to go witness it, I love it because I know whoever plays the phantom's role has seen you and is trying to model your performance. So in each phantom show, there is always, and will always be a little part of you in each phantom.

I was so happy to see you working in London with The Lady in White, I saw a banner for it when I was visiting there and was just so glad to see you still showing and expressing your talents to many, many audiences to come. Though I was highly, and so greatly upset that I didn't get to see it, because it didn't open up till the next year. Hehe, well, I will honestly try to get down there again and witness a excellent performance from you and the rest of the cast.

Heh, I have already made this letter long enough so I think maybe I should close it before you get a little weary of all the type I've done. Please keep up your great work, you are loved and cherished by millions of people all over the world, your voice has gone far deeper than the natural ears, it has gone to souls and to hearts, and there it shall stay forever... at least that how it is with me. But I know many people say that to you as well. I know I am just another note in the millions you get, but I hope in some small way, you understand what I am trying to say about you....

Thank you so much... for all you have given us, we could never repay you enough!
