@BecomeMyNewCat Oh, I know Christine is a weak character. I just really wish she would grow some ovaries and give Erik a piece of her mind and take care of her child.
LOL can't see Christine having enough spine to kick ANYBODY in the balls, but other than that... 100% accurate.
LND pretty much sucks. The only good thing about it is Ramin Karimloo, and he's being summarily fired along with the rest of the London cast because ALW changed his mind and was all "ooh, Melbourne production, shiny and better!" and apparently no one had the decency to tell the London cast to their face that their production was closing...
@AceofGallifrey have seen both, and alas ALW is right... the Melbourne production is indeed better... MUCH better.. It almost deserves to be staged ;-)
LMAO That was brilliant! I agree completely about the butchered characters. As a stand alone musical, I guess it's okay. I mean, I do love a few of the songs, but as a sequel to POTO, it's an abomination. Erik lost all his Erik-ness, Raoul was completely different, and Christine just made no sense at all...
In The Musical Version of Phantom of The Opera, Christine Loved The Phantom, more than Raoul in fact. The Only reason she didnt marry him was because he murdered a man and also because he was hurting Raoul. But When she kisses him she kisses him as in the script "Like a Lover" and when she leaves on the boat she looks back sadly
@Emmaline1224 No thank you. Erik and Raoul both seem to have had their personalities switched to asshole for this play and Erik's IQ seems to have dropped quite a bit.
I would like Christine to tell them both where to go and take off with her kid. I might have paid to see that. Both of those guys are jerks and she should have told them off.
While LND is not my favourite of ALW's works it is indeed beautiful. I however do not see it as a sequel, in the same way I don't see Wicked as a prequel the the Wizard of Oz. The music is beautiful, so very beautiful and I could lose myself in it. However this is a little sad. Can I just say first off its the VICTORIAN era by the way. Although I do agree Christine should've been able to tell off her drunkard of a husband, but telling off Erik doesn't make sense as she understood why he left.
@samanthablack13 it's done just for fun so it's unimportent whom she's telling off. the video is just a parody on feminists, so we have Christie in the centre, not Erik)
omg i loved this it made me laugh and i agree that the "phantom" in love never dies is definately not the real phantom from PotO hahaha i think that the original was perfect as it was and LND slaughtered it! D: i think that it lost the romantically dark and mysterious undertone from the 1st and ruined any chance of there being a good sequel
The way Love Never Dies should have ended is that it would turn out that the genius Phantom would have known that Meg was losing her mind, and would plant, in her room, a stun-gun disguised as a proper gun which would shock whoever pulls the trigger.
I dont agree with this cos for one thing, we have no proof that erik actually did leave christine - SHE left HIM to marry raoul (why did she do that if she loved him btw) and another thing - i wanted the ending to be christine and erik bringing their son up together as they were just meant for eachother in MY opinion. :P this is making a mockery of one of my fave musicals. I totally agree with theblueshoelace96 lol.
@kenwen4 What is that supposed to mean? It IS a real username and my opinions DO count same as everyone else's on here. And I have listened to that song
Christine makes her own decisions and directs her own life rather than allow two men, one a stalker/murderer and the other a drunk, to do it for her? What a novel idea!
@edoboleyn I know! I mean, she's got a kid now. Why would anyone even think of letting their child wander around with a known murderer? Even if he was the biological father for ridiculous reasons Andrew Lloyd Webber stole from a teenage girl's fan fiction.
@kenwen4 what fan fiction are you thinking of? and it totally makes sense, gustave being the phantom's son as he had talents that raoul didnt have which were exactly like the phantoms. plus, the three make a perfect family unit.
I'm watching this again because it's simply pure genius. LOL, Erik and The Persian clapping in the end, lol. And the credits always make me laugh. I hate Paint Never Dries so much and that bet is especially stupid, it treats Christine like a character that has no will or voice. Ugh. You could also make more The Sims videos about this entire musical, the thing itself is a joke. Not even Madame Giry escaped ALW's madness. I try to close my eyes and pretend this is just a bad dream.
@marli8907 I used my Leroux sims to make the vid. There are already twelve sims on the lot, which makes the game run slowly, and it's really hard to control child sims, so I used Joseph Buquet. It was just funnier.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. THAT was the most amazing video ever. I saw the show. COmplete crap. This is indeed how it should have ended. Five stars, mate!
How that was the most idiotic thing I've ever seen.
Who are you or any of the people to say what Andrew Lloyde Webber SHOULD have wrote. It's HIS vision and HIS music. I really doubt he gives a shit if you disagree with it. And he's definitely not bankrupt. Far from it.
@burythetv This was a pretty light-hearted parody, considering I could have ripped this shitty musical a new one. Webber wrote LND for profit and once you put something on the market, other people have every right to criticise or praise it as they see fit. There's no room for being butthurt about "vision." And if he really doesn't care, why did RUG try so desperately to silence the critics? People have legitimate reasons to dislike the show.
@Loveneverdies99 The Edwardian era started in 1901. LND is set ten years after Phantom, which was set in 1881. So it should be 1891, but ALW somehow made it 1907, which makes no sense. Anyway, that's why Christine says "I'm a woman in the Victorian or Edwardian era." Grow a sense of humor.
@kenwen4 If you don't like it, get over it. No one is forcing you to accept it. If you prefer the original with no depth to the cardboard cutout characters go right ahead but don't trod on others feet and be a troll.
@burythetv i agree with you there, but it should still have had a better ending - a happy one that would have befitted the characters and story, such as the two protagonists staying together with their son
If she never loved him she would have left him, obviously not caring about what he looks like or what he did. This show is all about a love that should have been, and could have been but a crazy psycho best friend ruins it because she too fell for the Phantom. And if you paid attention, she knew about the bet, Its obvious that she does and she chose to sing because Love is greater than anything in the world. That's what it is, and its wrong to destroy that meaning.
@kenwen4 That's just plain wrong right there, Andew Lloyd Webber is the most amazing composer there is! Love Never Dies way more beautiful and unique then your air heads can see! Seriously, have you tried finding the meaning behind the show?? Its a wonderful plot, anyone can see that. Just because you can't see that doesn't mean he's bankrupt, This show is just as creative as Phantom of the Opera.
@BellaLuvsEdward08 The man hasn't had a profitable show in years and all of a sudden he drags out his most successful product, puts the favorite fan couple together, and retreads music he's tried in two previous musicals that flopped? That's so very creative. Also, he's hardly the best composer. He's just one of the more famous.
@BellaLuvsEdward08 You know what, LND is not the greatest musical. Its not even particularly good. The plot line is horrific. The music (not the lyrics, not the story) but the music is actually the only thing good about this abomination and the only reason I still have it on my IPod. Phantom of the Opera was perfect, and needed no sequel. Erik made the ultimate sacrifice, and let Christine go. He left the ring and the rose on her gave as one last goodbye. And that was the end of it.
@TheMusicForAlways how dare you diss one of my favourite musicals?! I wanted a sequel for POTO cos it hardly seemed right leaving it as it was. Love never Dies forever!
@Loveneverdies99 I'm sorry if I offended you. I wrote my last comment when I was angry. However, I still feel like Love Never Dies should not have been the sequel to the Phantom. The Phantom of the Opera is not supposed to have a happy ending. It was emotional and heartbreaking, and Love Never Dies ruined that perfect ending for me.
@TheMusicForAlways That's okay, everyone's allowed an opinion but I just felt that the ending for the Phantom couldn't just be left how it was at a cliff-hanger ending. I wanted to know what else might happen in the Phantom saga, though I can understand that you wanted it left as it was :P
@Loveneverdies99 A cliff hanger? I never really thought of it that way. I always pictured it, well, kind of like the movie. The Phantom let Christine go, and payed the ultimate sacrifice for her happiness, even though it destroyed him. For me, that kind of ending was one that should have lasted.
You should read "The Phantom of Manhattan" by Frederick Forsyth, it's where the story comes from. There are different characters that Webber replaced with ones from POTO, but you can see the outline of the musical plot in this book. It's a pretty weak book though, just like this musical, so be warned.
@BellaLuvsEdward08 @BellaLuvsEdward08 I agree with you here. Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote lots of popular musicals, such as Cats and Les Miserables. He may even have written The Sound Of Music. And I feel that Christine and Erik made the perfect couple as well but I still dont get why she married Raoul.
@Loveneverdies99 Um... ALW did not write Les Mis, that was Alain Boubil and Claude-Michel Schonberg; and he CERTAINLY didn't write Sound of Music... Rodgers and Hammerstein, anyone? Know your facts, please.
But I digress... this video is hilarious. I enjoy the music to LND, but everything else is quite pitiful. I'm loving the bearded Gustave!
@Loveneverdies99 Yeah... no. Like QuentinHareton said, Boubil/Schonberg wrote Les Mis and Rodgers/Hammerstein wrote SoM. What are you, twelve?
And she married Raoul because he wasn't a manipulative stalker who pretended to be her dead father and expected her to develop instant Stockholm's. God, I love Erik, but he'd be a terrible love interest.
It was funny.. but.. I found it wrong. It took away the main purpose of the sequel. Love Never Dies is about how she loved Raoul but she loved Erik more. She proved this by sleeping with him night before her wedding, but Erik was ashamed of himself for what he had done and who he was.
@BellaLuvsEdward08 Ah, so is that why Christine married Raoul despite her love for Erik? hang on, that makes no sense. even if Erik was ashamed of himself, why didnt Christine stay with him anyway, if she loved him enough? i know the story wouldnt have had half as much pathos, but still. and how do you know that they had sex before Christine's wedding night?
*dances around and applauds* Go Christine, go Christine...xD Seeing as the characters were already bastardized by the entire show, why SHOULDN'T Christine come to her senses and smack around the pathetic excuses for the characters we knew and loved from the original? Brilliant work. :)
@Broadwaychica much as i love Christine, she kinda was playing the two men off against each other and she was practically breaking both their hearts, though i think she and erik should deffo have stayed together so take that!
But Christine can't actually do anything in LND! She's just a prop to be passed around as other characters do things to move the (pitiful) story along and she stands there and looks pretty and occasionally sings about nothing of consequence.
So true! I would have loved to see this happen.... I hate that just as Christine grew a backbone at the end of POTO they took it away from her for LND. Ugh.
THAT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER!!!!!!!! But, I would have loved to see the ball kicking and violent slapping.

@BellaLuvsEdward08 Ah, so is that why Christine married Raoul despite her love for Erik? hang on, that makes no sense. even if Erik was ashamed of himself, why didnt Christine stay with him anyway, if she loved him enough? i know the story wouldnt have had half as much pathos, but still. and how do you know that they had sex before Christine's wedding night?

*dances around and applauds* Go Christine, go Christine...xD Seeing as the characters were already bastardized by the entire show, why SHOULDN'T Christine come to her senses and smack around the pathetic excuses for the characters we knew and loved from the original? Brilliant work. :)

@Broadwaychica much as i love Christine, she kinda was playing the two men off against each other and she was practically breaking both their hearts, though i think she and erik should deffo have stayed together so take that!

But Christine can't actually do anything in LND! She's just a prop to be passed around as other characters do things to move the (pitiful) story along and she stands there and looks pretty and occasionally sings about nothing of consequence.

So true! I would have loved to see this happen.... I hate that just as Christine grew a backbone at the end of POTO they took it away from her for LND. Ugh.

Pure genious. Yay for a Christine who stands up for herself and tells the men where to get off.
