In the 2000 London production of "The Phantom of the Opera," the role of the Phantom was played by John Owen-Jones. He is known for his powerful vocal performance and has taken on the role in various productions over the years. The show, which has been a long-running success in the West End, showcases Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic music and a compelling storyline.
The 1990 musical production of "The Phantom of the Opera" featured a cast that included Michael Crawford as the Phantom and Sarah Brightman as Christine Daaé. This production was directed by Hal Prince and is notable for its elaborate set design and memorable musical score by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Personally I think Gerard Butler did a pretty good job in the 2004 movie, however on stage Michael Crawford was brilliant in the original cast of Phantom, But also Ramin Karimloo who currently is playing Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webbers sequel Love Never Dies, played Phantom in the West End's production of Phantom of the Opera and cameo'd Christine's father in the 2004 movie Phantom of the Opera. He gives an breathtaking performance of Phantom in both Phantom and Love Never Dies and has a truly amazing voice.
