Phantom
- Crawford happened to run into the show’s creator, Andrew Lloyd Webber, in 1984. Lloyd Webber had met Crawford socially several times and remembered him from his work in Flowers for Algernon. Crawford informed Crawford that he was working on a new project based on a Gaston Leroux novel and wanted to know whether he was interested.
- He said he was, but the show was still in the early planning stages, and nothing had been decided. Months passed, during which Lloyd Webber had already created a pitch video featuring his then-wife, Sarah Brightman, as the female lead Christine, and British rocker Steve Harley as the Phantom, singing the title song in the manner of a contemporary new wave video.
Barnum
In 1981, he starred in the original London production of Cy Coleman’s Barnum (1981) as the illustrious American showman P.T. Barnum. Crawford trained at the Big Apple Circus School in New York City to prepare for the ambitious stunts, learning to walk the tight-rope, juggle, and slide down a rope from the rafters of the theatre.
