Yes he did it. It opens on London's West End pretty quick here. The CD becomes available next month.

The guy who does the Phantom, is really good. There is a video for the song "Till I Hear You Sing". Great song. Beware with the video though, it doesn't show the "download" but it downloads slow and it stops and starts. You can't "stop" it, only the choice of play. I just kept having to drag the bar back to the beginning of the song. Really annoying, but in the end I enjoyed the song.
Premise of the show (according to the site):
Ten years after the mysterious disappearance of The Phantom from the Paris Opera House, Christine Daaé accepts an offer to come to America and perform at New York’s fabulous new playground of the world – Coney Island.
Arriving in New York with her husband Raoul and their son Gustave, Christine soon discovers the identity of the anonymous impresario who has lured her from France to sing.
I'm looking forward to hearing the whole score. I loved the Phantom, hated Raoul (probably the only one), so I really hope the Phantom gets a repreive and some sort of redemption.
