Congratulations to all of this year's Tony Award Nominees! Throwback to when Phantom took home 7 Tonys including Michael Crawford's win for Best Leading Actor in a Musical. #TonyAwards | The Phantom of the Opera

Michael Crawford was hand-picked by Andrew Lloyd Webber to originate the role of The Phantom in the iconic musical “The Phantom of the Opera” — and decades later, he told Anthony Mason that he still thinks of that character “like an old friend.” Crawford shared more about his career across stage and screen, and what it meant to him to become a Kennedy Center honoree: “It’s quite mind-blowing.” | CBS Mornings
