    The year is 1907. It is 10 years after his disappearance from the Paris Opera House and the Phantom has escaped to a new life in New York where he lives amongst the screaming joy rides and freak-shows of Coney Island. In this new electrically-charged world, he has finally found a place for his music to soar. All that is missing is his love - Christine Daaé. Now one of the world’s finest sopranos, Christine is struggling in an ailing marriage to Raoul. So, it is with excitement she accepts an invitation to travel to New York and perform at a renowned opera house. In a final bid to win back her love, the Phantom lures Christine, her husband, and their young son Gustave from Manhattan; to the glittering and glorious world of Coney Island… not knowing what is in store for them…

Not to mention the lyrics. I find it very difficult to find a piece of music that even comes close to the beauty and power of this masterpiece. Breathless is all I can say.

    There you'll stand just like before.
    The crowd will hush,
    And then in one sweet rush,
    I will hear you sing once more.
    And music, our music,
    Will swell and then unwind.
    Like two strands of melody,
    AT LAST ENTWINED!
    FULFILL US,
    COMPLETE US,
    MAKE US WHOLE!
    Seal our bond forevermore.
    Tonight for me,
    Embrace your destiny!
    LET ME HEAR YOU SING,
    ONCE MORE!"

    One thing I love about the costuming for Christine here in this moment that doesn’t get mentioned is that.
    1) She is wearing a white robe
    2) Her hair is down.
    In this moment she looks like her old self again, as this moment is about Christine finding herself again.
    Here she is Christine Daae again, the Phantoms Muse, his Angel of Music, not the Vicomtesse de Chaney whom is forced to bottle up all her passions. And her going to the mirror and looking at herself as he slips that necklace on her is Erik basically saying “ We both know who you REALLY are my dear, time to let your true self out again.”

    This is the equivalent of having Rose hook up with Billy Zane's character after he gives her that diamond which is SUPPOSED to symbolize her being trapped in a loveless/abusive marriage with him but James Cameron for some reason has the nerve to portray it as "romantic". At least that's my understanding of this scene.

Even if Lord Andy intended it or not (I'm leaning on the former since he started work on this project after he and Sarah Brightman divorced). James Cameron at least had the decency to avoid that in "Titanic". Say what you will about some of his movies but he knows screenplay structure and how to please his audience.

      @@whoeveriam789 I love POTO and I did enjoy this terrible sequel, but there are a lot of people who get abused in their life and they don't kill people. So yes Phantom is actually a terrible person. In the original London production videos I saw, he straight up CHOKES CHRISTINE because she didn't tell him at the beginning Gustave was his son. And then of course he threatens to kidnap the child before he knows the truth, and chokes Raul before leaving the bar. So yes, the Phantom would be an actual manipulative Psycho in the real world and would probably end up abusing Christine and his son if he ever got them. But in the Fantasy world that is the Phantom World, he's just.a sweet "misunderstood" sensitive man. And yes I love the fantasy of the sexy Phantom, but no he would legitimately be an abuser in the real world.

      They're emoting, not acting. It's an opera, not musical.

      It's an opera. I mean the Australian one. The London one was a musical.

      There is no 2004 version of 'Love Never Dies'. I assume you mean 'The Phantom of the Opera'?

      For sure. Gerard Butler can't sing like Ben Lewis.

      Thank you, I hate it too. It totally ruins the original and the book for me, I try to pretend it doesn't exist.

      I don't hate it because of Ben Lewis. But I only like this version of LND. Other version... Not so much.
