Who is your favorite Phantom? Just out of curiosity. I usually don't post things like this but, what the heck, I'm bored.
I go with Michael Crawford all the way.

Michael Crawford.
Then, Hugh Panaro.
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Posted: 4/26/06 at 10:11pmI love Howard McGillin, but haven't heard his phantom. I'd have to say Gary Mauer. He was on the national tour and i think still is

Posted: 4/26/06 at 10:49pmI loved Howard McGillin. He was the only person in the show who really impressed me when I saw it.

Posted: 4/27/06 at 12:56amHaving seen every actor who's worn the mask on Broadway (and beyond), it's still no contest. Mr. Michael Crawford, his passionate and heartbreaking creation stands above them all!

Posted: 4/27/06 at 1:04amOf the ones I've seen, Hugh Panaro was the best vocally. I enjoy parts of Crawford's performance, however his voice is not my cup of tea. I can understand why people love him in this role.

Posted: 4/27/06 at 8:13amI cannot stand listening to Crawford on the cast recording but my favourite Phantom is probably a tie between Simon Bowman and John Owen Jones.

Posted: 4/27/06 at 8:16amI would have to say Hugh... something about his preformance just amazed me.

Posted: 4/27/06 at 10:01amHugh Panaro and Ethan Freeman. And I have a feeling John Cudia will be on that list in about two weeks. I've only heard great reviews.
