| Comments: | Hello Michael, My mother and I listen to your music alot. We think you are multi-talented and very giving to your admirers, but yet, you already knew that. One of my dreams is to one day meet you and maybe even sing a duet with you. Hope to see you in my area soon. Love Sherry and Dovie (My mom) |

| Comments: | To the CAST and CREW of DOTV: I had to write my love and thanks for putting on such an energetic, technical, and funny show. You are all enormously talented, and I enjoyed the show very much. You have all proved to be exceedingly good at being supporting players; it will be great fun to watch as your names go into lights over the coming years! Mandy and Max, I expect you’ll soar. Ron, I’ve been curious to see you live for years, and it’s expectation well fulfilled. Liz and Leah, you can shatter my eardrums anytime you’d like; that was some impressive singing and acting. Asa, you had me in stitches all the while you were on stage. Rene, after years of watching you on television and in film, it was an absolute delight to discover your comedic side. What timing! What ad libs! The Entire Cast is extraordinarily talented; your dancing in particular was richly rewarding to watch. MICHAEL, after years of loving you, what more can I say? Your voice just gets better and better! I love the lower register you’re showing us now. I was tremendously relieved to hear that you aren’t ready to become a gentleman-vintner just yet! I’m looking forward (yes, hungrily) to your next effort, and I’ll be there to cheer you on until we’re both too old to stand—and then I’ll do it from my wheelchair :-) Thanks to you all for a rare experience which I will treasure. And now, ON WITH YOUR NEXT SHOW!!

| Comments: | We are extremely saddened by the closing of the show and our hearts go out to all of you. We saw the show several times and thoroughly enjoyed it every time. We saw other shows (Chicago & Urinetown) which were very good but not the stellar quality of Dance of the Vampires. It had it all: performers, costumes, music & set design was excellent. We pray that God will assist all of you in finding great parts in good shows very soon. God biess you all. |

| Comments: | Dear Michael, I have a been a fan of yours for so many years and imagine my happiness when I found out that there was a place for all of your fans to come together to admire the wonderful man behind that beautiful voice. MCIFA is a great organization and I am proud to be a member. I was devastated to see that DOTV was closing. I had tickets for February and am sad that I will not be able to hear your angelic voice live. It has always been a dream of mine to see you perform live. I hope that this set back will not stop you from performing again for us. I hope that you and the rest of the cast take some solace in knowing that your fans love you and will always be there for you cheering you on no matter what you do. Happy, Happy Birthday. |

| Comments: | Mr. Crawford, I regret that I have not had the opportunity to see you perform live. I was recently in NY but I was scheduled to leave before DOTV opened. I have heard you sing and of course I have the "Phantom" soundtrack. I can not tell you how much you have touched with your singing. I've listened to "Phantom" so many times, and I stil get chills and still cry when I listen to you sing. I have heard all of your songs and I am so impressed! You are truly one of the greatest singers of all time. I wish you luck in all of your future endeavors. I hope that I will get to see you! Come back out to the West coast for a while!! I also wish you a very Happy Birthday. Always remeber that you are loved and you have all of your fans behind you 100%! Sincerely, Shannon Portland, Oregon |

| Comments: | I'm thrilled I had the chance to see DOTV in previews and I'm going back on closing night. I probably would have gone more, but I have a 6 week old baby. I was 8 months pregnant when I saw it the first time and the second time will be the first time I'm leaving her, so that should tell you how much I loved the show. I'm sorry the show is closing, but Michael and the cast should be proud. The critics don't know everything. |

For the child-lookin’, sweet Frank Spencer; for the sensual rage of The Phantom; for the unstoppable Barnum; for the timeless EFX Master and for the sexy-ironic count Giovanni von Krolock. They will live forever. I ‘ll be waitin’ to see who will be your next creation. I know there’s something waiting for you….out there! Because remember…” Where there is time, there is tomorrow, all sorrows pass to memories. And so the end is the beginning….” I’ll hope to meet you one day….somewhere in time.

| Comments: | Dear Michael and DOTV Crew, What a very sad week this has been. I had a family bereavement which left me devastated. Then, on turning on my computer yesterday, I saw the news of DOTV closure. I was so looking forward to seeing you Michael and the show in London next year and now it seems that will not happen. You have all worked so hard to make this show a success and I think it WAS a success. I loved the video clips and the music I heard on the internet. I wish each and everyone of you, a much deserved rest and good fortune in the future. Good wishes to all. Leonie. |

| Comments: | Dear Michael: Not being able to get to NYC very often, I am no authority on Broadway shows, but I did come up to see you in two performances of DOTV and am afraid I don't remember too much about it because I was in a trance just watching you perform and listening to your beautiful,powerful voice. The show was good enough those nights to rate raving, standng ovations. I just do not understand self-appointed critics. They took your show down, no doubt about it. I also remember that at the time Phantom was playing in NYC, Hal Prince stated in an interview that it was an impossibility to mount a musical in NY. You stated in a couple of interviews that a successful show might come along once in a lifetime for an actor and you were lucky to get one. And what a success you were! You had ladies swooning and longing to be with you forever and only seeing your mask, your expressive body language and hearing your marvelous voice. You made the show, caused it to be voted the best theatrical show of all time (AL-W did help you with the score), and no one will ever forget the show or you. If the snow allows, I will be in NYC for your birthday bash at the Crowne and will be thrilled to see DOTV again and hope to get to speak to you. I am "Totally Devoted To You." Please come back to us after your deserved vacation. Margaret Ketchie |

| Comments: | We thoroughly enjoyed seeing Vampires when we were in NYC last October during premier and thought it was a great new show. The costumes were colorful, music upbeat, and the jokes hilarious, only wished Michael would have sung more. I have been a Michael fan for years, and besides seeing him in EFX, Phantom and on tour, I have all his music. Even had a friend get me a copy of his autobiography when it was first released in England. I don't know why the critics had to be so mean, as we were part of the standing ovation and wished we would have had time in the city to see the show again. Good luck to all of you, and I do hope Michael will not take so long to play in a show again. Also think someone could convience Andrew that Michael is not too old to play the Phantom in the movie, since when does that character have to be young? Michael was meant for that part. |

My husband took me to see Michael perform in Dance of the Vampires. It was a long time dream of mine to hear Michael LIVE and I did. Writting this I'm getting teary. To the Members, those of you that I met, you are amazing, compassionate, giving and lovely! and to MICHAEL: Mr. Crawford. I am enamored of you. You delight, uplift, and amaze my heart. It is because of your work that I am going to work on persuing a career in Vocal Performance. THANK you Michael for all you have given me without even knowing it, and MEMBERS, Thank you for being so kind to me, and letting the girl in the wheel chair that night, move right up to the gate to meet my idol. I will never forget your kindness and friendliness. I will become a member as soon as I can afford it! Mr. & Mrs. Michelle & Joseph Wetterling |

| Comments: | Michael, if you were a mountain, you'd be Mt. Everest! Words can NEVER completely describe this talented, compassionate, wonderful man! (And CHARMING, too!) There aren't enough adjectives in the world to applaud you enough - not only for your tremendous skills as a professional singer/actor, but more importantly, for your kindness and thoughtfulness toward the charities you sponsor. As I've written to you before, Mr. Crawford, your true riches are being stored up in Heaven for all the good you've done in this crazy world we live in. I thank you and God for sharing yourself so freely with the public - your voice literally brings me to my knees. I pray for you & the hurting/sick children of this world I know you love so much. I also thank God for the glory you have brought to the Lord by raising up His name in the songs you sing so beautifully! I pray God's blessings on you that your life & voice only strengthen for many years to come. I am not one who follows stars, but what I discern about you is absolutely Heavenly - you're truly a Spirit-filled Angel of Music. I feel privileged to become a member of the MCIFA. Thank you, too, for opening your heart this way to your fans. Mr. Crawford, I wish you much success in your latest endeavor, "Dance of the Vampires" -and WELCOME BACK to Broadway!!! (Where you belong!) :-) Regardless of what the critics have said, after seeing the play myself, it is meant to be taken in total fun. It was a pleasurable experience (although painfully loud at times). It's like this, the reviews came from bad critics! The general public, which is who the show is for, is LOVING DOTV - I haven't heard anything negative from the audience. And that is where the "rubber meets the road"! Many Blessings and Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones, Mr. Crawford! Much Love to you, Lisa :-) |
