The Tim Burton part hurts me deeply. The whole freakin idea hurts me in ways I never thought I could be hurt.

"He also noted that fans of the original might have "trouble with the way the story continues, but there was nothing he could do about that as the story, is the story..."" ... ... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! |

Not sure if this one has already been posted, but at least LND keeps getting pushed further and further away.... mabye at this rate it may still fall off a theatrical cliff.....
From Playbill.com:
Love Never Dies, Sequel to Lloyd Webber's Phantom, Is Delayed
By Mark Shenton
08 May 2009
The opening of Love Never Dies, the long-gestating sequel to Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera that was previously scheduled to premiere at the West End's Adelphi Theatre in late October or early November, has been pushed back, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
"The plan now is for it to open in the spring of next year, which means tickets won't go on sale for a while," according to the London paper.
The originally announced plan, which the composer revealed to The Times of London in December, was to simultaneously rehearse three companies with a view to opening productions in Toronto (ahead of a New York transfer) and Shanghai in quick succession.
According to a previous report in the Daily Mail, now superseded by this new information, rehearsals with three full casts were due to take place in South East London beginning in August for three months. Soon after its Adelphi inaugural, it was planned to open a production at Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre and then, around next April, the cast from Toronto would move to Broadway – winding up in all likelihood at the Neil Simon Theatre. Sometime, in the middle of all this, a production of Love Never Dies would also open in Shanghai. Jack O'Brien, who will be assuming directorial duties on all three stagings, was reported saying, "It makes sense, rather than spend time doing this over a course of two or three years." And, by rehearsing all three companies simultaneously, it intended to give them all a sense of "ownership" of the project.
The original London cast will likely be led by Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess, who have previously respectively played the title role and Christine in the London and Las Vegas incarnations of The Phantom of the Opera, according to the report.
The creative team also includes lyricist Glenn Slater, choreographer Jerry Mitchell and music supervisor Gareth Valentine.
A recent casting notice offered this brief description of Love Never Dies: "In 1907 New York, the mysterious 'Maestro' who runs the theatre at Coney Island announces a one-off concert by legendary Parisian soprano Christine Daaé. Her arrival in New York with husband Raoul, Victome de Chagny and son Gustave, and their subsequent meeting with the 'Maestro,' bring the cataclysmic events of 10 years earlier at the Paris Opera crashing back into all their lives."

The further they keep pushing it back, the more likely it'll be I can afford to go!

I just couldn't get over the tacky white piano and the awesomeness of Germany's entry.

Oh yeah, my brother showed me that! It was amazing! But I don't like the fact that after she showed everyone that you didn't have to be glamorous to be talented she was given a makeover. Sigh. Kinda defeats the purpose.

Susan Boyle?!
Okay, now I'm intrigued. If she does do it I'd get the CD to see how she pulls it off.

I don't mean to discredit the emotional context of the above article, and i admit readily that just to hear Sierra and Hugh sing together would be all types of lovely, but - "harrowing". Yes, Mr Webber, i have no doubt that LND will be harrowing indeed.

You know, the simple solution would have been to have PICKED ANOTHER STORY. There ARE other sequel versions than PiM(p?)!

Hehe, yes i did have a giggle when i read that. Are we to assume his hand was just forced onto this one particular piece of fanfiction???
Although i will always be relieved that thus far, no one has tried to dramatise, in any form, Kay's work.

Interesting. Either those two will have the power to make it moderately decent or they're jeopardising their careers. I honestly hope they can make it decent.

And there goes my faith in humanity. Is it a good or a bad thing that I don't know who John Barrowman is? |

I haven't heard John Barrowman sing, but he was on Doctor Who for awhile, and he is (was?) in Torchwood.

I've never been a fan of John's voice (it's fine, he can hold a note but that's about it - i never feel any passion) but i do love Sierra and now all i can do is sigh at her making this god-awful decision. To borrow from Mr Brando - "she could have been a contender!!!"

Okay, I only just read the article Nik posted on the 4th of July that mentioned Hugh Panaro whom I love and adore and I mourned his leaving of Phantom by wearing black on the day of his last performance. If Hugh is in any way involved in this... monstrosity, I will eat one of my converses. Fortunately, that second article seems to dispel that theory. Phew! I panicked for a moment.
