Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

wrdingle 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.

harry-76 What's Michael Crawford got that many of us would like to have? In this 1998 concert Crawford gives an intriguing performance, starting off with a standing audience ovation after his very first number.The first time I became aware of this performer was his Cornelius Hackl in the film version of "Hello, Dolly." I recall rather wondering how he managed to get cast, as he sang the lovely "It Only Takes a Moment" in the park scene. It was certainly not a beautiful voice I was hearing--somewhat raspy, a bit unfocused, and ordinary. I attributed its effectiveness to an extension of his well- played Cornelius character, but I was not at all impressed with his natural vocal instrument. Now, thirty years later he appears in this vocal concert, with full orchestra, chorus, splashy lighting and theatrical effects. Since the 1969 film he's won numerous awards and gained a devoted following from his famous original title role in "Phantom of the Opera."The voice has gained some strength and control, yet it's basically the same instrument heard back in the late 60s. What he does appear to have is an astute sense of theatre, timing, keen ear, and other attributes of professionalism.He also sings with his whole heart, and puts everything he's possibly got into the moment. His fervent desire to communicate enhances his diction and projection, and he obviously loves his craft.The audience responds lovingly and enthusiastically to a well-conceived format and "package." Perhaps his basic "ordinary" instrument is in tune with these times of electronic enhancement; perhaps there's something here that's not overwhelming--a kind of kid-next-door up there making good. Whatver the case, this performer is making the most of what he's been given to work with. All one can say is, more power, Mr. Crawford.

Monika-5 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"!

sngbrd39 I saw this special when it was broadcast on PBS. All I have to say after seeing it is that Michael Crawford has one of the most entrancing tenor voices I have ever heard. Seeing the special really made me wish that I could have seen "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway with him as the Phantom. His selections from that musical sounded heavenly. His other selections, especially the Irish music, were also beautiful. I only wish my local video store had this in stock so I could rent it sometime.
