Who is the best phantom howard mcgillin Michael crawford?

There's a bit of a misunderstanding in your question. It seems you're trying to ask about the best actor who portrayed the character of "Phantom" Howard McGillin in the long-running Broadway musical *The Phantom of the Opera*.

The only actor who played that role on Broadway is Howard McGillin. He holds the record for the longest run as the Phantom, playing the role for a total of 8 years and 5 months.

There have been many other actors who played the Phantom in other productions around the world, each bringing their own unique interpretation to the character. Some notable examples include:

* Michael Crawford: He originated the role of the Phantom in the original London production and is widely considered to be one of the most iconic actors to portray the character.

* Ramin Karimloo: He has played the Phantom on Broadway, in London's West End, and in other productions around the world.

* John Owen-Jones: Another popular Phantom, known for his powerful voice and intense portrayal.

So, while Howard McGillin is the only actor to have played the Phantom on Broadway, it's up to personal preference to decide who is the "best" Phantom.
