Saw "Love Never Dies" (Phantom Sequel) on TV yesterday. I can see why it's been nicknamed "Paint Never Dries". The score seemed closer musically to Les Mis than Phantom. One thing that ALW NAILED in the original was the recurring musical themes that drilled the melodies into your head. There was none of that, and so many missed opportunities to bring back hints of those melodies. Example: there was a monkey with cymbals on stage for a brief period - couldn't we have had a least a hint of "Masqurade"?
The costumes and sets were by far the best part. I also loved the actress that played Meg...beautiful voice and she was able to move gracefully through the dramatic acting range that role requires.
