![]() ![]() ![]() Originally intended to debut simultaneously in London, New York, and Shanghai, Love Never Dies shut down after nine months in London due to poor reviews and never premiered in the other two cities. Lloyd Webber came up with the idea of a Phantom sequel as early as 1990, but didn't start working on it in earnest until 2007. Some called it Love Should Die or -more damning- Paint Never Dries. Most of it is of the nature of "You really thought The Phantom of the Opera needed a sequel? Where this time, Christine stays with the Phantom? That's fucked up!" However, much of it focused on the musical's many drawbacks. The critical shredding of Love Never Dies has been universal. It almost feels cruel to kick a musical when it's down. That's likely the case with Love Never Dies, which won't be arriving on Broadway any time soon. Other times, the stage musical is filmed so that those who likely will never be able to see it live can still see what it's about. Such was the case with the Final Performance of Rent, and the 25th Anniversary performance of The Phantom of the Opera. Often, the stage musical is filmed after a botched attempt at adapting it to the screen, to demonstrate how the musical is supposed to be. However, having done such an in-depth review of Phantom, I can't pass this one by. Rather, the cinematic version of this sequel to The Phantom of the Opera is merely a filmed performance of the stage musical. #Phantom of the opera 25th anniversary rar movieAndrew Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies is not a proper movie musical. ![]()
