Michael was born in England in 1942. He made his Broadway debut in 1967. I was there. I shouldn't say that, but I was there. Seems like a long time ago. And he Michael [Crawford] became an international Sensation in the 1980s for his original portrayal of the Phantom of the Opera. One of the greatest ever, ever, ever, ever. You don't see him like that very often. Winning him the esteemed Tony award for best actor in a musical. (03:55–04:29)
