Far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart cannot resist.
The musical opened at Her Majesty’s Theatre on 9 October 1986 with Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the leading roles, and there have been dozens of productions worldwide since then. Now in its 30th record-breaking year, The Phantom of the Opera continues to captivate audiences at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End, after more than 11,000 performances.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s mesmerizing score along with jaw-dropping scenery and breathtaking special effects, magically combine to bring this tragic love story to life each night.
Michael Crawford is the only REAL Phantom. The other's are just playing a part. This man transports women when they hear him sing. I want to melt in his arms. I saw the original on Broadway with MC and SB and I will NEVER forget it. Most beautiful play I have ever seen!!!
crawford's voice is amazing!
I saw him in LA and loved his singing and acting. He is still the best phantom to me but then again he did originate the role.
Michael Crawford & Ramin Karimloo are my favorite phantoms. I'm so happy to see this clip of Michael as the Phantom...
Michael is a combination of beauty, voice, and psychosis. His psyche becomes the phantom, other phantoms are good, but don't have his ability to become the PHANTOM.
I saw Phantom here in Los Angeles with Crawford. He was plenty sexy in the part. His voice is soaring.
it's really weird cos i've always imagined Michael Crawford as Frank Spencer in 'Some Mothes do ave em' but to see him like this is amazing!!
I don't know, Ramin is pretty incredible...but you're right, Michael Crawford is the best.
Michael Crawford IS the Phantom! C:
He was the best Phantom, hands down.
Uuhhh. I love this so much. It's the best music ever composed. Andrew Lloyd webber rocks
Michael crawfords voice ............... So phantomy
crawfords voice makes it sounds like his love for christine genuine, while ramin's portrayal was about his love being an obsession
MC is a diamond in the rough. Thanks for the memories, my friend. DS
I like Butler and Crawford, they are both amazing!
I saw the phantom a few years ago in Perth, cant remember who played the parts but Im not an opera person and was surprised that the show reduced me to tears at the end. I think Crawford is the best from all I've seen on line
is it just me, but every time I hear Michael Crawford sing this I hear Cornelius Hackl from hello dolly!
I love his voice and he is a great phantom
My favorite phantoms are Michael Crawford and Ramin Karilloo. Ramin has that powerful amazing voice and when Michael sings you can hear the spirit of the Phantom of the Opera. Hehe I sounded smart.
No one can touch MC as phantom.
Thumbs up if you think the Phantom of the Opera and the Hunch-Back of
Notre-Damme stories are very alike.I mean, they both were abandoned in paris by their respective mother, they were both music geniuses, they both fell in love with a beautiful girl, they both lived in a famous building, they both lived in the year 1500 according to their stories. Coincidence?
Trust me - Gerard was good, had the looks and played the Phantom well. , Michael Crawford didnt play the Phantom he WAS the Phantom. This version isnt the best as i seen him improve upon this as his vocals were really strong in latter half of his phantom career.
the phantom is one of the best characters of all time he is so misunderstood and hated that how did he have any other choice but to be as he was? monster is but a name but the true monsters are those who name monsters if we can see past what they look like then they just become another man
Wonderful!
As far as vocals go, there is no question that Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman are much much better than Emmy and Gerard. I'm surprised there would even be debate on the subject.
i say this on my birthday it rocked
Michael is a combination of beauty, voice, and psychosis. His psyche becomes the phantom, other phantoms are good, but don't have his ability to become the PHANTOM.
My second favorite is Gerard Butler. OMG. He once said in an interview I wanted pathos but the director wanted sex.
Lol Michael Crawford is the best Phantom and it's NOT close. Crawford and Brightman are the original cast, and they're the originals for a reason. No one comes remotely close.
u can say that again brilliant
Beautifully sensual.
Crawford is amazing, I still prefer Ramin. But Crawford is the original and he has an amazing voice!
This version, the original, the tempo was a lot faster, it was slowed down quite a bit, lyrics were changed, and we have the current version used on stage today.
Does anyone know what version exactly this is? All the Michael Crawford versions of this on iTunes are longer and have different lyrics. This one is a little different.
Ohhh betty
Attention Gerard Butler Fans. Please don't compare him to Michael. No one beats Michael at this role. Im sorry. I grew up with the 1986 cast and this is far better.
Agreed.
Michael Crawford = the man with the voice that made many cream their pants.
i have been a michael crawford fan all my life... even though im only 34 it is difficult cos i think gerrard buttler is HOT. there will only ever be 1 phantom to me though..
Which version is this? The lyrics here are different from all other versions, including iTunes. I can't find this mp3 anywhere.
PLEASE UPLOAD THIS IN HD!
Hard to believe this is the same guy who was the death defying Spartan legionnaire in the film 300.
@JonRichter96 I really did like Gerard, he's the first Phantom I ever saw, so I will always see him as the Phantom. But Crawford sings so much better :]
watch the 25th anniversary performance and tell us again if you still prefer the 2004 version.
dont you love how Child LIKE not Child ISH! but Child LIKE his voice is? 0:31 "Da Darkness" 1:03 "only Den Can you belong too me.." ;)
@Elizabeth111Music He was my first introduction to the phantom too ;D
@Goddess10123 butler is all about the sexiness!
when did they change the carrass of the mask? the last time i saw Phantom and in the Ramin video they have the phatom flinchingaway from her touch. BUT the whole point is that he know she so mesmirised that there is no fear of her taking off the mask! when was that changed! i like it the other way!
@Lola9666 No, the Phantom of the Opera (a.k.a. Le Fantom de L'Opera) lived in the late 1800s, even in the book.
When did they change the lyrics?
I like Michael Crawford and his voice is AMAZING...however Gerard Butlers was very powerful and Rockstar-y and he was reallu good as the Phantom...but yes Crawford is the orignal
Butler is the best Phantom for me, but i understand people, who likes Crawford. They are very different, but they are Good both.
@Simsker Agreed! Gerard actually sings really well for someone who doesn't sing professionally! But what he lacks in his voice he makes up for in smexiness!! ^_^
@angeledog - Sahra played Christine Daae not the phantom who was played by Michael Crawford
Wow people really need to stop comparing GB to MC! I mean I freakin luv GB, but MC kinda created the look for the phantom. I personally think GB did an amazing job tho. Nobody shud compare other phantoms to MC. Maybe GB
@gil321099 a german has :-) Peter Hoffmann. Sadly he is not able to perfom any more :-(
@crazyphan18 The mask is supposed to be caressed, and not having the phantom flinch. If it was changed, it's a pointless change, as you say she's so entranced she has no fear. It must be an individual move by the actor which detracts from the role.
@Goddess10123 - I concur
listen ramin: THIS is how it's done
yea what's up with his lips being so red
They're great, they really are. It's pretty obvious that Michael Crawford portrays the Phantom's....deeper qualities a lot more obviously and that's great, but I can't shake the feeling that he reminds me of the Joker in The Dark Knight here. Sorry.
THE PHANTOM ISNT SUPPOSED TO BE SEXY, GAH. HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A POOR, MISFORTUNATE AND GREAT SOUL. YOU GUYS DONT GET THE POINT.
I agree they are the best but Gerard Butler impressed me as the Phantom movie.
@beaconmike
......Darling.....ummm, this is the 86 cast.
Gerard was probably boozing in college when this came out..
Michael Crawford is amazing, one of my favourites, but I really can't stand Sarah Brightman. I think she would be a faboulous Carlotta, but I don't like her as Christine. They might be the original cast, but original does not always mean the best, or that there can't come someone better. ;)
she looks like a div... he is awesome
Is it just me or is Sarah Brightman kinda creepy looking?
Как из YouTuba добавить видео в вк?
@Csyko, couldn't have put it better
@beaconmike Leonidas didn´t died in sparta, he lived until 1500 and seduced Emmy Rossum.
I'm I totally crazy that Crawford is seriously one my least favorite phantoms? He's got an incredible voice, but it just isn't the dark, evil, and sexy phantom i like to think the phantom is..
oh well, they're all good aslong as they're phantom!
1:20 Her neck looks quite long?
He looks like the joker more than the phantom
I'm with you. He does a very femme version. Not the best in my opinion, either.
I love this version but I love Ramin Karimloo's version even Better !!! MIchael However will be iconic to listen too. x
As much as i love Crawford he is not the real phantom, The Real phantom and the only reason ALW made this musical is Lon Chaney even tho he didnt sing he made that character come to life
yep. well at least ramin karimloo and sierra bogges are good enough. :D
@EdwardCullensAHottie excuse me? the new one's awesome, but will never beat the classic
I'd like to make music with her. GROWL!
Anthony Warlow is the best phantom!!!!!
Michael Crawford and Gerard Butler both have beautiful voices but you have to agree with me that Gerard Butler is the hottest depiction of the phantom ever right?^____^
@gil321099
Only Sara can!!
@RosesNightengales I 100% agree with you on how crappy GB is and how absolutely scrum-diddlyumptious MC is, but the part about how he's NOT supposed to be sexy is false. If you watch the Behind the Mask documentary, you get interviews from MC himself and multiple others saying how the Phantom is "Sex with legs." MC portrays him sexy in a seducing way, but stupid people only see GB as being sexy for his looks, and don't see his lacking musical talent! :D
Sorry, I've followed every cast, I personally think Ramin Karimloo is the best Phantom
they are amazing singers but crawford is sadly not a very intense phantom, and extremely pale, I know he was the original but yeah dont believe he is the best. I wish they were just acting that now. graphics could be better. Great video though love them both ! and the show amazing live ! aswell
Lol his make ups really funny kinda looks more hammer horror than a sexy masked man :') but still a good singer even if he sounds a little creepy lol
He is amazing. But Sarah's make-up is terrible :'D you have to know I'm only used to the german version but I love this one so much! *__*
I feel like I'm the only one that things he sings to fast and nasally
The only problem I have with Sara is that she looks so daft, sorry she just does in my opinion.
But Crawford was good though.
@niley4everxo okay lemme explain this to you. He's not supposed to be hot or sex. The Phantom is a disfugried musician underneath the Opera House. His mother pushed him away because of how horrible he looked. Also, Gerard can't sing. Im sorry to burst your bubbles but he cannot sing for crap. Michael is and always will be the phantom of the Opera. If you didn't like this video. Why watch it?
not suppose to look sexy lol
I think Colm Wilkinson is the VERY best of all... Michael's voice is too high, too soft. Not enough darkness....
Sarah has a lovely voice, but the older she gets the more it sounds like a car trying to start.
