 I discovered Colm Wilkinson, one of the most extraordinary singing and acting talents of our time, in 1998 when I stumbled upon the video of "The Tenth Anniversary Concert of Les Misérables." Since then I have found he is also an exceptional gentleman, the most visible joy for me being his unfailing graciousness to his fans. Most fans know him for his incomparable work as The Phantom in "Phantom of the Opera" and as Jean Valjean in "Les Misérables,"  but fans have also been fortunate enough to see him at charity performances, and in 2004-2006, his concerts celebrating the issuances of his CD, Some of My Best Friends Are Songs.  They all have been opportunities for great stage door experiences, or in the case of the concerts, the wonderful chance to stand in line with fans, inside where it is warm, and talk for a minute with Colm as he signs CDs.

Over these past years I have collected photographs of these fun times at stage door, some I have taken and some from other fans, as well as photographs from the early years. I am using this totally unofficial web site to share them with other Colm Wilkinson fans. 

 Dennis Wholey on "This Is America" once commented on Colm's performance in the Music of the Night Concert: " There are moments when you (Colm Wilkinson) are working on that stage where it is as good as it can get." Perhaps in the Tenth Anniversary video of the Les Misérables Concert more than anywhere else, we understand what Mr. Wholey meant.
