When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Allison Davies
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I have always loved Michael since the first time I heard him in 6th grade English when we studied Phantom. This concert shows Michael in all his excellence.He sings to perfection as always, tells stories between songs that are humorous but touching.Sings a lovely Irish piece dedicated to his late Grandmother, Edith Kathleen O'Keath "Nan" as he called her.Caught this on PBS when it first showed, and had to tape it while it was showing! I got the DVD when it came out, and I still watch it! I have all of Michael's CD's, his VHS "Touch Of Music In The Night" and truly love them all!! Mike is a true sincere genius in all he does! God bless you Michael!

I heard three of these songs on television and thought this must be a super tape, so I bought the VHS when it came out. Unfortunately, the three songs I heard and saw on TV were the best of the lot. However, that's not imply this isn't a good concert, just the great one I anticipated. I have also seen Crawford in a Las Vegas show and he's quite the showmanThere is a lot of talk between some of the songs, too much at times, but Crawford is an interesting guy and humorous in his storytelling.The two songs I liked the best and heard first on TV were "Not Too Far From Here" and "Music Of The Night." Crawford performs several songs from "Phantom of the Opera" including a really nice duet. In addition he sings several Christian songs and a few more secular songs, all in good voice. The second half of this concert was far better than the first half, IMO.The man has a tremendous voice so no matter what song you hear, it's done well.

Michael Crawford, the English actor whose talented singing voice and acting have entertained me for a very long time. Michael's voice has what is probably the best range out of all living male singers. His lung capacity also impresses me. He is able to hold his notes singing full blast for a very long time, such as in Gehtsemane his opening song. Michael is probably best known for playing the phantom in the original London cast of The Phantom of the Opera. He sings two songs from Phantom in this concert, The Phantom theme and The Music of the Night. If your a fan of Broadway stuff or you just like the sound of a well trained male voice, I think you will enjoy Michael Crawford.

Michael Crawford, as well as being an amazing singer, is also full of charisma and enthusiasm, as evidenced in this wonderful concert! He sings all sorts of show tunes (including Phantom of the Opera, of course) as well as inspirational, gospel and mainstream pop songs. Try to catch this special if PBS ever reruns it. It truly is "special"!
