Phantom sequel
Per MSN...
Webber: 'Phantom' sequel in the works
Dec. 30, 2008, 10:55 AM EST
LONDON (AP) -- Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber says the long awaited sequel to "Phantom of the Opera" should be ready at the end of 2009, with a possible simultaneous opening on three continents.
Lloyd Webber told The Times of London that he 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. The sequel will be set about 10 years after the original, which has been seen by approximately 80 million theatergoers in 124 cities worldwide.

Found more information via NY Times
Andrew Lloyd Webber said that a recently completed sequel to his musical “The Phantom of the Opera” would send the title character to 19th-century Brooklyn, where he is reunited with his lost love, Christine, on the sands of Coney Island.

I don't know about this. The Phantom following Christine to Brooklyn. Sounds a bit far-fetched. But then again, I've never been a Raoul fan (the character just annoyed the heck out of me), so we shall see. Maybe it will open in NY when my best friend and I will be there next year, that would be pretty sweet. But knowing my luck it will open after I am there.

Sounds interesting...I am curious how they will connect Christine to New York? Make her a widow?

Why can't he leave it alone? A sequel would ruin it for me.

Well, he can recast Crawford. It's years later, plus I'm sure the Phantom will gain weight from the cooney island hot dogs.
