      I think the story is a little weak, but as you say: The songs gives me chills, too. Especially "The beauty underneath", where he hopes his son won't care about his looks

    I love how when she says “once it has spoken, love is yours” she looks at Erik. And his reaction is so sweet.
    And I love how when she says “hearts may get broken” she looks at Raoul. Ik that’s mean but I can’t help but love it💀

    Ben and Anna make this show actually sound like an opera. It’s wonderful. Sierra and Ramin did have very good technique, and they both did a good job at reenacting the characters that they were supposed to be, but Ben and Anna together tell a different and more amazing story as if it was never related to POTO. It’s its own thing when they’re performing, and I think it’s amazing.

      I think that might be what's "missing" so to speak. That the "phantom" connection is more of a detriment that actively weakens the story. I think perhaps a revised version that cuts those hindering "elements" might be for the best. Cause there truly is something incredible here, it just needs to embrace that "incompatibility" with POTO.
      Maybe cut "Raoul", his equivalent could be dead (due to any 19th-century excuse) and "Christine" is a widow who came to New York alone with Gustave. (Use his "screen time" to further build up this "new world" and it's history.
      It can be for the same Hammerstein reason and change nothing about "Erik" wanting his beloved back. (deformity optional but probably best it remains) Heck, some of the "Phantom influence" can even remain (By all means wear it on your sleeve!) but ultimately Love Never Dies works better as a "Stand alone."

    The story doesn't work for the characters of the earlier show; but the lead performances were beautiful and the costumes/sets were beautiful. I liked some of the songs, and it was all very romantic; but it didn't work as a whole. Anna O'Byrne was great. Somehow she made me think of "Show Boat", as did the show.. which was weird.

    The songs are so but so wonderful, just as the scenario and the costumes. I love Anna O'Byrne as Christine, she looks like an older and more mature girl even though her character sucked in Love Never Dies. But i still prefer Sierra's version of this song, because of the lyrics and because i was already a phan many years before meeting Anna.

    I don't know why but when the Phantom gets boldly passionate like this, he appears more like seductive vampire than human towards Christine. After seeing Ramin and Ben Lewis as the Phantom, and Anne and Sierra as Christine, I think it would be epic if Sierra and Anne fused into one Christine, and Ramin and Ben Lewis fuse into one Phantom. Just saying.

      The only default in this masterpiece is how Meg is the « vilain » even if they show that she’s just having feelings and she lost herself they still made her the evil girl and this what is bad but the music the character and the story is amazing
