Queralt T It was not as awful as they say. If you watch it, you don't have to think of The Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber, but a different story with Andrew Lloyd Webber's music. The singing was good, but the kid was annoying. Many of the characters were changed, like Madame Giry and her daughter, who now stand as the "bad guys". I liked the Phantom and Christine and Raoul asswell. The story on the other hand, has room for improvement. If it wasn't the Phantom's sequel i would say it's quite decent, but Phantom deserved better. Just think of it as an other version of the Phantom of the Opera, only this time it's set after the events of the Opera. Sit back and enjoy Phans.

The music however is excellent but this is fragmented. A big bust for a sequel however a big plus for the music. The Phantom of the Opera had they showed a romantic interlude then this may have worked. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The musical was a complete and utter waste of time. It made the protagonists weak and inferior from their predecessor. Plot holes, questionable writing, weak and teenager-like lyrics, and most of all, they totally destroyed the Phantom's character. In the first musical, yes, he was deranged and manipulative, but at least he did what was right in the end, but in this musical, he was more manipulative and extorted Christine and treated her like she was some kind prize for his own pleasure. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This is absolute garbage. My fiancee and I forced ourselves to watch this because we love TPOTO, so obviously we were interested in a "sequel." We were sorely disappointed. The music was terrible. Not a single song invoked emotion, was memorable, or even something I would care to hear again. The score is an insult to the original. As bad as that sounds, the music wasn't even the worst part. The writing in this "play" comes across as a 14 year old girls fan fiction. Someone obviously did not like the way the original play ended. The "romance" between the Phantom and Christine is completely forced in this trash. It is NEVER implied in the first play that they were romantically involved on a physical level. In fact, that is why, in the first, it is such a huge ordeal when she kisses him at the end. That is the first time in his existence that he had felt another human's touch in a loving manner. So for them to have a son together is utterly preposterous. The writing continued to distinguish itself as garbage by taking two of the more beloved characters from the original and entirely re-working them into despicable scum. Raul became a gambling jerk who had only cared about money. Meg, who had once been Christine's best friend, tried to kill Gustav, resorted to prostitution, and was overall just a very sad representation of what she had once been. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Story line makes no sense, and has no correlation to the original timeline or story. All characters are out of character. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a stage show that was filmed live. Spectacular music and sets.
