Michael Crawford’s return to the Phantom of the Opera stage brought back four decades of memories – and a few jitters 🎭 The original Phantom, now 84, reunited with his "Christine" – Sarah Brightman – for the musical’s 40th-anniversary celebration at London’s His Majesty’s Theatre, where they first starred together in 1986. "It was very nerve-racking," Michael admitted. "But a fabulous evening." And the British actor was grateful for every second. “You don’t dream of something like that happening in your lifetime,” he said. “You just don’t” 😭 📽️: Getty / neilmeron #phantom #westend #phantomoftheopera
