coincidentally learned today that he's working on a SEQUEL to phantom
Indeed:
Today, Thursday 8 October, Andrew Lloyd Webber unveils his brand new production “LOVE NEVER DIES” at a global launch in London. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long awaited new show will have its World Premiere in London at the Adelphi Theatre on Tuesday 9 March 2010 followed by New York on Thursday 11 November and in Australia in 2011.“LOVE NEVER DIES” continues the story of ‘The Phantom’, who has moved from his lair in the Paris Opera House to haunt the fairgrounds of Coney Island, far across the Atlantic. Set 10 years after the mysterious disappearance of ‘The Phantom’ from Paris, this show is a rollercoaster ride of obsession and intrigue...in which music and memory can play cruel tricks...and ‘The Phantom’ sets out to prove that, indeed, “LOVE NEVER DIES”.

I appreciate how if you go to this section you learn via the fake NYT backdrop about the 'MYSTERIOUS BUSINESSMAN BEHIND CONEY ISALND,' which shows they had copy editor problems even then.

I fuck with Evita, Jesus Christ and Phantom, "Tell Me on a Sunday" and "Memory", maybe a bit of Joseph, never found anything to love in his later stuff

i will always love jesus christ superstar forever and ever. the rock god version. with ian and yvonne and the gang. and i will always have a nostalgic love for evita because i saw it with my sister on broadway with patti and mandy. but that's about it. never heard joseph soundtrack i don't think. maybe i would like that. i actually think le miz is better than any mod ALW i have heard. music-wise. better than the phantom or cats.

it's really not so good but i'm still fond of a few of the songs - "travel hopefully," "that was nearly us," "love's maze" - never seen a production of it until tnite tho
