By: BWW News Desk
Only "Extra" caught up with Broadway's real-life Phantom of the Opera near New York's Majestic Theater where he critiqued David Cook's American Idol performance! Howard McGillin, who has set a record by playing the Phantom over 2,000 times, told "Extra" that he was impressed with Cook's rendition of "Music of the Night" on last night's show. He commented, "He nailed it…It's such a difficult song to sing…He sings with such purity and such a beautiful sound, but he did great." As a fan of American Idol, McGillin admitted, "I love it [but] I don't get to watch it much."
