I could not believe how good Michael was as the phantom. He has not been and never will be beaten. I had the absolute joy of watching him and Sarah Brightman and they completely took my breath away. His depth of feeling is unsurpassed.

[@donnabarragan8611]

I was in the movie "Hello Dolly" as an extra performing in the parade scene, filmed the summer of 1968, and between our takes we could also go watch other takes happening, so I got to go watch Michael Crawford, Barbra Streisand and Walter Matthau doing some of their scenes as well. It was Michael Crawford's first movie, and he was a skinny, gawky kid with a very high- pitched voice, before he became the hunk in Phantom of the Opera with the fabulous voice!! When I saw him then, I NEVER would have guessed that he would grow up to be so handsome, and with that voice!! It's worth it to see Hello Dolly just to see Michael when he was young, and of course Barbra was GREAT as always. Still love Michael so much, and now I'm 70!!

[@mariegeorge8865]

I remember Michael in "Hello, Dolly." I thought he was cute and funny, and he stood out. Yes, then next thing we hear, he's the "Phantom"! He's awesome!

[@marywilliams5874]

The 1st time I saw Michael as the Phantom was the Tony Awards. OMG!!!! His movements were so sultry & sexual as he slinked his way towards Christine, my mouth dropped & I leaned forward, fascinated as I heard him sing his careful subduction of Christen. I was hooked!!! *SIGH*!!! HEAVEN!!!😇

It's meant to be soothing, calming, reassuring - Raoul is thinking only about Christine. So many other actors I have heard performing this song sang it with self-centered bravado - like they're some kind of hero white knight dashing in to save the damsel in distress - as if to say "look at me - look at how great I am."
