What type of creature is the phantom from phantom of the opera?
This is kind of confusing but in the Gaston Leroux (origional version) the Phantom is a man named Erik. He was hideously disfigured and had a voice that sounded almost angelic. He was one of the contractors while they were building the opera house, and he built a series of trap doors and a hidden bottom floor for himself to live in solitary peace to write music.
People believe he was a ghost, angel, or phantom because of these trap doors that he could slip his voice through or appear out of.
there are different versions that say different things, this is just one.
When did Christine Hargreaves die?

Who would you want to play in Phanto of the Opera?
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.
About 40 because he is old enough to be Christine's father. Madame Giry at the opera house says that she thinks of Christine as her own daughter and she has known the phantom since he was little. She hid him from the police. So he has to be about 40.

How did the phantom tollbooth characters get developed?
The Phantom Tollbooth is a children's adventure novel and a modern fairy tale published in 1961, written by Norton Juster and illustrated by Jules Feiffer.
Critics have compared it to Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in terms of classic appeal and importance.
Norton Juster was in an interview some time ago, he was inspired by reading encyclopedia as a child. Then in 1960 to 1961, he had written a boy name Milo, his watchdog Tuck who is beckoned by a Phantom Tollbooth to come drive through with his toy car.
- Animation director Chuck Jones adapted the book into The Phantom Tollbooth, a feature live-action/animated film of the same name, in 1971.
- In 1995, Juster adapted Tollbooth into a libretto for an opera.
What was the phantom of the opera burned by?
"Burned by" may be a fabrication of individual productions.
According to Wikipedia, in the original novel, the author describes the character as a ghost "...as corpse-like with no nose; sunken eyes and cheeks; yellow, parchment-like skin; and only a few wisps of ink-black hair covering his head. He is often described as 'a walking skeleton', and Christine graphically describes his cold hands."
The Phantom's half-mask in the Andrew Lloyd Webber productions certainly enhanced the character's stature as a 'frightening' and 'off-putting' Phantom.

Who is the best phantom howard mcgillin Michael crawford?
Michael Crawford for me. He loved playing the phantom and had so much emotion and power on stage, he had the whole audience--including the men-- in tears when I saw him in Vegas (I was only 12 and I cried for days!)... he can make this noise when he cries, a noise that really breaks your heart, I can't even describe what it was like and I have never heard a more agonizing sound...
Answer
Michael, i saw him in the music of Andrew Lloyd webber tour when i was 5. i got to meet him too! i got to sit on his lap and i remember he called me his angel of music =) he's a sweet sweet man. Then later, when i was 9, mom took me to Vegas to see him in EFX! and i got his autograph at the stage door, after waiting 2 hours in line!! he's just... amazing...
lol and it was funny, at EFX, there were a bunch of giggling teenagers sitting in the front row using binoculars... binoculars! in the front row! this man has some crazy fan(girl)s =)
Answer:My analysis (I have seen them both live):Howard--
His portrayal: He plays the Phantom INSANE! Almost like a Leroux type deal. He is amazing to watch in the final scenes. And he has an ANGEL voice! His Music of The Night is brilliant, best I've ever watched. At the end, after the kiss, he is broken and he plays it very sympathetic. Again, very Leroux-esque. He's also the longest-running phantom ever!
His voice: Okay, THIS is where I really love this guy! His singing is just astounding! Powerful, rich, my all time favorite voice.
Michael--
His portrayal: This guy plays it more softly. His Music of The Night is full of emotion, it's not like he's really performing for the audience, but singing to Christine. He plays The phantom very sensually as well. Actually, when he was in Vegas performing, he got "caught" being a little *too* risque in Point of No Return and was forced to tone it down so as not to make the ladies faint--which actually did happen a few times in London when I was there... ahem.
One thing I *love* about this guy is, he opened up all his emotions on stage and positioned himself in ways that most actors wouldn't ever dream of doing (I was taught in drama class that opening your legs to an audience was the most vulnerable position and just to not do it)... most actors will this avoid like the plague. I admire him for this. He just forgets about the audience and becomes his character.
I also agree with the first answer, that SOUND he makes when he's crying! It's incredible.
His voice: Incredible voice. Amazing to hear live. But just not my type, I guess.
So in the end I would have to chose Michael, even though I like Howard's voice more. But it really depends on what kind of Phantom you like.
AnswerPersonally, Crawford. Believe me, he isn't even on my top 10, but McGillin-- when I saw him, I felt like getting the hell out of there around MoTN time. He just didn't click with me.
