This is hands down one of the best musical albums ever and with the original cast singers so amazing if you love musical then get this album

I’d get grounded but I could listen to music and play cards or legos and read and I would choose this music on CD to listen to over and over to escape to while being punished

I owned this on cassette and I loved it as much as I do now. This is timeless. A must have.

There is only one Phantom for me and that is Michael Crawford and there is only one Christine and that is Sarah Brightman. Long before I ever saw a production of the musical I had this soundtrack. It is perfection. The movie, the concert hall video are pale imitiations to the original cast.

THIS IS THEIR GREATEST PERFORMANCE EVER!!!! NOTHING COULD EVER BEAT THIS!!!!

My wife and I were married 10/10/1986 in Dearborn, Michigan. We were lucky enough to experience main floor seats for the original cast production on the evening of Tuesday, October 14, 1986 while on our honeymoon in London. An amazing performance! Even moreso, as it was The Phantom's opening week at Her Majesty's Theatre. (The first performance was a charity performance on 10/9/86 for some members of the Royal Family.) This soundtrack is exactly as we remember it, having been astounded by Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman performing live. Unforgettable to this day 34 years later.

Ok, I’m sure some have your favorites in the opera world. However Michael Crawford quite possibly kept the phantom going after it moved to the states. Most who played the phantom had to take lessons!!! YES even Butler look it up. Guys and Girls in 1986 thePhantom of the opera opened up, and became a world wide phenomenon in part due to Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford.Just like any original fashion you can put tape on it, glue it try to revive it ect, However there will never ever ever be like the original including the original phantom of the opera, please think of me fondly!!

Michael Crawford sounds like a duck singing.

Beautiful music! I’m obsessed with music of the night!

Ugh🙄
