I hated l’amour Never Dies with an undying, firey passion. First off, the musique was not even comparable to that of The Phantom of the Opera. Second, THERE IS NO SEQUEL TO THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. For ALW to write a sequel to the stand-alone book, was in my opinion, just offensive. The Phantom of the Opera ended at the end of the book, the musical, and the movie. There is no plus to be told. Oh, and do I even need to mention the ENORMOUS flaws between The Phantom of the Opera and l’amour Never Dies?? Just go try and count them up. toi can't. There are too many to count. I will liste a few: 1. Christine never slept with the Phantom, therefore, Gustave cannot be hers and the Phantom's son. 2. Raoul is not an abusive drunk. toi really think Christine would've stuck around this long if he was? Come on, people, really. 3. At the end of The Phantom of the Opera, the movie, toi can clearly see on Christine's gravestone, her death date: 1917. Considering when she was born, that would put her in her late 70's ou 80's. Not her 20's as when she died in l’amour Never Dies. 4. Meg never loved the Phantom. NEVER. To have her have this, this, THING with the Phantom in l’amour Never Dies was, just, let me say it, STUPID, UNNESSEARY, JUST AN EXCUSE TO APPEAL TO THE PHANS WHO HATE RAOUL AND SHIP MERIK. l’amour Never Dies's storyline was crap. Here is it in a nutshell: The Phantom still loves Christine 10 years later, after Christine and Raoul are married and have a son. Raoul somehow gets Christine and Raoul over to New York so Christine can sing once plus in a montrer for him. Raoul becomes scared that Christine will realize she loves the Phantom plus than him, and, while he's drunk, makes a bet with the Phantom: If Christine sings, toi can have her, but if she doesn't, I get to keep her. The Phantom agrees. Raoul realizes what he's done and disappears because he knows he'll lose Christine. Oh, um, par the way, PLOT TWIST! Christine and Raoul's son is actually Christine and the Phantom's son. Whoa! Didn't see that coming! Anyway, to sum things up, Christine sings, and now belongs to the Phantom. Meg gets angry because she's in l’amour with the Phantom and threatens to shoot herself. The Phantom goes to get the gun from Meg and it misfires and shoots Christine. Meg disappears. As she lay there, dying,Christine tells her son that the Phantom is his real father. She dies. THE END! Wow. What a feel good movie/musical. Doesn't it make toi want to be a better person, now? Anyway, before I continue ranting til the end of time, I'll just sum up in a few sentences: l’amour Never Dies never should have been written. There are too many flaws with The Phantom of the Opera, and the musique was terrible, as was the storyline. I would l’amour to just forget about this play and never hear about it again! But, unfortunately being a Phan means having to write many plus reviews like this. Sorry for ranting, but I needed to get this off my chest.
