Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber says the long awaited (by who?) sequel to "Phantom of the Opera" should be ready at the end of 2009, with a possible simultaneous opening on three continents. Damn, that's a stupid plan.
Lloyd Webber hopes the new musical, to be called "Phantom: Love Never Dies," will open in New York, London and possibly Shanghai or another Asian city. "We've been into the feasibility of rehearsing three companies at once and opening very fast in the three territories," he said. "The one which really interests me would be China. I think to open 'Love Never Dies' in Shanghai would be an enormous thing."
He said the locale of the celebrated musical will be switched from the Paris Opera to New York's Coney Island. What? And why? The sequel will be set about 10 years after the original, just because. Hate to burst your bubble, but that's already been done, and it was called Phantom Of The Park, starring KISS. What happens in it?
They hang out by the pool...
