Theatrical superstar Michael Crawford brings his dynamic stage performance to the legendary South Shore Room at Harrah’s for one night only on Saturday, March 17.

Michael Crawford is known world wide for his creation of the role Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of The Opera. He began his career nearly two decades before as a star of the British stage. Crawford hails from Wiltshire, England and began singing in the school choir while still a teenager. His first regular television series was the BBC’s 1960s show Not So Much a Programme, More A Way of Life. He also appeared in several movies including The War Lover, A Funny Thing Happened on The Way to The Forum and a starring role in How I Won The War, which also featured John Lennon.

Crawford moved to New York City in 1967 and appeared in several small productions before being recognized by Gene Kelly. Kelly recruited him to star in Hello Dolly! with Barbara Streisand. He returned to England in the early 1970s and appeared in the highly successful sitcom Some Mothers Do Have ‘Em. He alternated between television series and theatrical roles during the 70s and broke out with a title role in Barnum, which earned him several awards and proved to be a smash hit. He toured with the show in the 1980s and his role in Barnum was the decisive factor in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s casting of him in The Phantom of The Opera in 1986. The musical earned Crawford critical acclaim, a Tony Award and a hit single Music of the Night.

After touring with The Phantom of The Opera Crawford recorded his second album With Love and went out on the road again with the production The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. A Touch of Music in the Night was released in 1993 and On Eagles Wings in 1998. Live in Concert followed later that same year and in 1999 he released In the Moontime of Wintertime: Christmas with Michael Crawford.
