I like the first one, I may even give this one a chance but it would seem that it will be the Phantom of Coney Island...Yaaaaa

(and I quot Joanna from a commit when hobbit was announced)
"What's next his Grocery list"

LONDON – Will the magic of the Phantom strike twice for Andrew Lloyd Webber?
The theater world will make its judgment after Tuesday's premiere in London of "Love Never Dies," the sequel to Lloyd Webber's global hit "Phantom of the Opera."
"Phantom" is a tale of gothic romance set in the Paris Opera that has been seen by 100 million people around the world since it opened in 1986. It is still playing in London and New York, where it is the longest running show in Broadway history.
"Love Never Dies" picks up the story 10 years on, with disfigured genius the Phantom relocated to the bright lights of New York's Coney Island and still besotted with beautiful soprano Christine Daae.
Many "Phantom" fans have trashed the show in Internet reviews based on preview performances. Some say the score has nothing to rival the earlier show's catchy, romantic ballads such as "The Music of the Night" and "All I Ask of You," and the set design has come in for criticism.
Widely read theater bloggers the West End Whingers dubbed the show "Paint Never Dries."
Lloyd Webber says he's not concerned.

Never heard of it. But then, I don't really like Phantom. Unless it's the "of the Paradise" variety.

Huh...

Sequels never really match the first.

...unless we're talking Back to the Future.
Those were some pretty good sequels, if they could be counted as sequels rather than separate thirds of the same movie.

I'm a total sucker for musicals. -melts-
I'm already infatuated with Love Never Dies. The kid's voice is amazing. The back and forth between Meg and Christine is hilarious. The phantom is the phantom. Love it. -smile-
Listen to 'Beautiful', where the son goes to meet the phantom. It's so perfect. I can't help but eat this stuff up. Musicals. Yay. -guilty grin-

Yeah. Me too. Phantom of the Opera has never really been my thing.
