Dave Willetts in The Phantom of the Opera: London, 1988

The Phantom of the Opera
Live in London
1988
Starring: Dave Willetts as The Phantom, Jan Hartley-Morris as Christine, Michael Cormick as Raoul
Here's a real treat, an upgraded and remastered version of the 1988 video of Dave Willetts as The Phantom!
The full video has existed for years in horrible quality, and very recently a highlights version of the video in better quality resurfaced thanks to my dear friend Paul. I did a little work on the brightness and contrast of the new copy and am very pleased to have it here to view! Please enjoy. Dave is FANTASTIC.

Seen Phantom 33 times inc Michael Crawford but Dave Willets my absolute favourite saw him 19 times when it had a two year run in Manchester thank you for this 😍😘xxx

Thank you so much for this! Dave and Jan are two of my favourites! And I hadn't listen to their Angel Of Music or title song... THANK YOU❤

[@phantomsvoice7751]

Dave Willetts was my first English Phantom - he was amazing! But I really love Michael Crawford (but never saw him as Phantom on stage) and I love Alex Goebel !!!

Might it be possible to upload the full show please? I just love this pairing 🥰

[@ruthkenyon1723]

Interesting. I was regularly at the stage door at Les Misérables when Dave moved across - it's interesting to hear what he sounded like.

[@bookboybrs90]

Thanks please more of him?

[@lesmiserablesfantome-ygood1922]

Well in terms of video this is all that exists in good quality of him!

@@ldpadventures833 How ignorant. Be grateful for what you get.

That's Michael McCormick, who later played the not-so Wonderful Wizard of Oz!

I thought Rebecca Caine was the only one who connected the first two C6 notes in the title song. 😲👏👏👏

I’ve always had mixed feelings about Dave’s Phantom. MC is a tough act to follow!

[@MarinelliBrosPodcast]

I saw on your Weebly Page and you said you had the full version of this could you post it

[@phantomfilmfan8]

WHy did you only upload half the footage there acully is?

[@TheCabinEssence]

He sounds a lot like Crawford

[@bookboybrs90]

Ok well do the best u can

This is better than Jan's "think Of Me" (the diva requested the "Think Of Me" key change be in Eb despite Claire and Rebecca being able to sing it in F just fine)
