Well, you know not EVERY sequel flops. There's The Empire Strikes Back and The Godfather Part II...I even find The Godfather Part III watchable at best...except when Sofia Coppola is allowed to so much as appear onscreen. *shudders*.

How can you slag off something you know nothing about? Wait to see it before you give your critisism. You never know you might like it. Webber's musicals are always a hit, so this sequel should be no different.
Hold on here, I think that I said in this video that I'm not a fan of the idea. I don't think that Phantom needs a sequel but that's just my opinion that I wished to express with humor. Furthermore, I'm afraid that Webber's musicals are in fact not always a hit. One of this most recent, Woman in White, did quite poorly for an ALW show. You can choose to like this sequel as I can choose to not.
@TGITPC I would just like to add that if Love Never Dies is a hit, it pretty much breaks Andrew Lloyd Webber's track record of all of his post-Phantom shows flopping when they hit New York!
The sequel is an abomination. Not only does it deny the Phantom his redemption that he gains in the final scene of the original, making him an unscrupulous psychopathic serial killer with no remorse, but it also TURNS THE PHANTOM INTO A RAPIST. Christine sings this to the Phantom at the end of Act 1 of LOVE NEVER DIES:

I love ALW and I love J.S this is why this is so hard for me.... I feel so disturbed... Why are they doing this??? POTO should be remade. I'm not even entirely sure I liked the movie version. *sigh*
I've never heard of a successful stage sequel. Then again, has anyone of Lloyd Webber's ability and status ever tried?
The preview tracks released so far are very good and I am pleased he decided to havily alter the story & characters from Phantom of Manhattan (lamest book ever). Ok he recruited Glenn Slater who has done two pretty dull shows (Little Mermaid & Sister Act) which doesn't give me huge optimism, but he's obviously made big efforts on it which suggests to me it might work.
I am trying to make sense out of this ..... this sequel... THIS THING. Is it being based off that Phantom of Manhattan book? I could not get past the first chapter it was so horrible!
i HATE the idea of the musical sequel and got such a laugh out of this, so funny! one of my friends LOVES to dress up as erik as well so that put a smile on my face... :)
That was awesome! I agree entirely that the sequel is a horrible idea... There are very few ways I think a sequel to POTO could work at all, and Erik skipping off to Coney Island isn't one of them.
This is IamErik771 from TPO, by the way... Again, fantastic vid! ^_^
Even though I think I will be a phan of "the sequel" I still find your video very funny. I think what changed my mind was the one song I've now heard of it, but the idea of a sequel to Phantom, was at first, abhorrent to me. You seem to have a lovely voice by the way. Anyways, just wanted to comment because I know feedback is always welcome. Oh, and by the way... thank you for not photoshopping Gerry's head to any bikini-babes, now THAT would've given me a lifetime filled with nightmares. :-D
I dont think you need to apologize in advance for offending other phans. :) As a long time Phan I commend you for voicing your opinions....and agree - ALW is just trying to cash in with another crap idea. :)
I agree with you about the sequel - I'm honestly NOT impressed...
About that blooper at the end with "Track Down This Murderer" - Nice voice! :D

@Mattbrain Well, that's certainly true I guess. This, however just kind of snuck up in us and IMO wasn't needed.

@TGITPC That is also true. I agree that this sequel wasn't necessary.

@TGITPC That is definitely a very good point.

LOL! Very funny vid. Sorry if I just discovered you, and it seems that you've been around for a while. xD
Very entertaining, especially the part when you sing "Track Down This Murderer" at the bloopers.
Can't wait for part 4 of your rants. :)

I have actually seen the sequel at the previews, and its very good, if a little more intimate in scale to Phantom - songs and score equally as good

@TGITPC Yeah, and he hasn't had a hit on Broadway since Phantom. I did Aspects of Love at my college last year. It did not end well.

You left me with a son."
