Interesting Continuation,

"The Phantom of the Opera" is a musical that holds a special place in my heart. It was my first introduction to musical theater, so I am of course biased. Andrew Lloyd Webber has revisited his most famous musical and created an interesting sequel.
The sequel takes place ten years after the events of the first musical. The show is set in New York on Coney Island. Mr. Y, an aloof masked man, owns Phantasma, the most famous amusement park around. Mr. Y is actually "The Phantom." He has been spirited away from Paris by Madam Giry and her daughter, Meg. The Phantom engages his love, Christine Daae, to sing at a performance given at the park. He longs to hear her "sing once more." Christine comes with her husband Raoul and her ten-year-old son, Gustav. What follows is a plot of surprising revelations and a climactic and unexpected conclusion.
The cast on this album is excellent! Ramin Koomiloo has a soaring voice that brought me to tears. I would love to hear...Read more

Twenty years after the original smash-hit "Phantom of the Opera" (which knocked "Cats" off it's scratching post in 2006 as the longest-running musical in Broadway history), Andrew Lloyd Webber has finally come through with the long-awaited sequel, LOVE NEVER DIES.
LOVE NEVER DIES picks up the story ten years after the events of the original "Phantom". Following his mysterious disappearance in the underground lair, the Phantom was quickly spirited away to America by Madame Giry and her daughter Meg; and has now established himself as the most successful, albeit mysterious, impresario of New York's bustling Coney Island fairground. For his latest venture at "Phantasma", the Phantom--using the new alias of Mr Y.--finally manages to lure his beloved opera singer Christine Daaé, her husband Raoul and their young son Gustave, to perform in America for the first time...and the scene looks set for a dramatic confrontation...
Andrew Lloyd Webber hasn't had a hit...Read more
