I love this take of Meg Giry. She is supposed to be a broken character. She has always been a people-pleaser, which in the end broke her down. I don’t remember who is playing Meg, but this was an awesome take on this last scene. The British version of LND portrayed an angrier Meg. It’s not a wrong take, but I personally think the “broken Meg take” is a more appropriate take for this 😇

[@igamarurbytes]

Sharon Millerchip, I think???

[@NikaLarina]

I love the LND of the Avstralia, because it in this version Meg more sad, kind. Meg in London version aggressive, angering. I think what the Meg and Raul be is oblation of the egoism of Cristina and Phantom

I know this musical is still pretty ridiculous as a story & even standalone-ish story, but I can’t help it, THESE SONGS ARE SO GOOD! Till I Hear You Sing is still one of my favorite ALW songs! 🥰🎶

[@ingridmay66]

Me too.... I really like these songs. I wish A.L. Webber would make a movie with Butler and Emmy.

[@kat_plays7999]

hot take. Idk if Emmy was ready for the role of Christine. I like her as an actress overall, but in musicals singing is equally just as important as acting. They had to take the songs Think of Me and the Main Phantom theme a half step lower than they should be. I did like the addition of the Phantom’s backstory in scene-work instead of madame Giry mentioning it in the musical. I’m sad POTO is not running anymore as well :(

[@adambrabender4120]

I think it is a great story then the Phantom of the Opera. The phantom was a lot nicer in the sequel, and I think it was a great ending. I think the way Raul and the Phantom looked at each other after Christine died, it was as if they finally understood why they loved her in different ways of course.

[@piyoweb]

If you just listen and don't think about the story at all..... It's okay.

[@BrendanJSmith]

Just like Rent.

[@MelancoliaI]

I think it's a great musical. If you just think of it as a piece of Phanfic (which, let's face it, it is) it's actually quite good. The Melbourne production in particular is awesome.

[@Zton-yn4kc]

But it’s not Fanfic, it’s the real-life story of a man writing a musical to apologize to his wife and son for not being present in their lives. And then his son died. Now with that knowledge, stop looking at this as a sequel. It shares the characters (just like any 007 or Batman) and loose events. The time is fudged to land on the setting of the time period. I don’t get the hate. It’s a more personal story than Phantom.

[@blipus8711]

If this wasn't attached to Phantom of the Opera, it would almost definitely have been greatly revered. The story isn't bad at all, it just doesn't fit the context of PotO, and the music can be at times better than the original imo

[@mctv7822]

I couldn’t agree more 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lyndajaeger4477]

The only thing I thing i hate is what they did to Raoul. In the novel he's just as amazing as POTO. He even knows that Gustave isn't his son but loves him anyway as an extension of Christine. At the end of the novel he drives with him to her grave and remarks on his musicality being almost otherworldly like Erik's. He finds a fresh rose on her grave and knows the Phantom was there. And he leaves the music box.

This was so touching and a tragic yet bittersweet new beginning for the Phantom. The part where Gustave touched his face softly without his mask absolutely melted my heart. He accepts him and will love him as is and the phantom will be able to pour his love into his son. The scene where he sings love never dies to him, always gets me 😢😢😢😢

[@lemonrosez]

TO BE HONEST THE SONGS SLAP! But the musical just slaps you in the face.

[@graceandglamour11]

THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE LOVE NEVER DIES

[@brittanygordon6544]

The boy touches his shoulder and strokes him on the face like he’s just a lonely person who desires to be loved and happy. That right there truly states he’s accepted the Phantom.

[@TailoredTaylor]

Ugh I would love to have a recorded version of Ben Lewis playing in The Phantom of the Opera. His performance is my favorite in Love never dies and I would love to see him as the classic phantom!

The ending song always makes me cry it’s when Gustave runs off and says no and Christine tries to get up and falls down again. It makes me cry every time I watch this

[@j-dawg4774]

I don't understand these comments complaining about the story, this was a phenominal sequel, and i did not expect Christine to be off in such a tragic way. The way it was set up was perfect.

[@BookRose-rk1rv]

Regardless of whatever Andrew did, it was never going to please everyone…it just comes part and parcel with sequels.

[@angelsky222]

For real i was watching it at my grandmas house and my mouth just dropped

[@Buskeeeeeeee]

Nah, the story is bad.

[@loganflanagan5288]

It plays out like a bad fan fiction. The set is pretty impressive and the music is solid, but the entire plot is too much of a long shot. Why would Madame Giry smuggle the phantom to New York? They were reasonable, kind people in Phantom yet in this show they’re smuggling a murderer to save his life, then Meg is trying to kill Christine’s son? It’s absurd. Also- it would take a LOT of prostitution to build an entire amusement park- more than just Meg could handle in ten years.

[@j-dawg4774]

@loganflanagan5288 I don't remember the beginning stuff, but it seemed like Meg didn't actually intend to kill him, she just wanted the attention of the Phantom, who was a very charismatic and alluring character.

[@cedrikstudy8234]

Honestly if they made these changes the story would be fine -Raoul is not poor and drunk but instead Christine is here to spread her fame and Raoul is mad about how they are treated despite their status -Meg wanted Christine’s popularity and wanted to find the phantom to kickstart a career(they could’ve have explain this better) -Meg shoots Christine on purpose instead of it being an “accident” It’s just the characters don’t seem like they are. compared to the first

[@anneboleyn9841]

This show is amazing!!!!!!!

[@sunflower-xi5ct]

One thing I really do like about the Australian versions take on this final scene is that the Phantom was very obviously going to kill himself here, or at the least was very close to throwing himself off that pier and joining Christine in death. You could almost say Gustave approaching him and showing him love is what saved his life, and gave him hope back as he sees Christine in the boy. Gustave will now be Erik’s object of devotion and reason for living like Christine once was.

[@DelMysthic_BLOG]

I adore the music, the song, and the emotions they have portrayed! It's beautiful!

[@fridayblues216]

Love this almost as much as I love The Phantom of the Opera. The songs are just as mesmerizing and the story does logically follow how their lives could have been since The Phantom of the Opera. I've always felt Christine's true love was The Phantom and have always thought it was kind of disappointing that she ended up with that rich boy. Like a lot of rich boys living on daddy's money, how he became in this Love Never Dies is totally believable... The jealousy of Christine's friend and husband that ruined their lives were also very natural. Anyway, not sure why so much hate for this one but I think is the perfect ending to The Phantom.. Well, not perfect I guess since it still did not end well... True love almost triumphed..

How is nobody mentioning that this plot sounds like a fanfic from somebody’s fever dream, not saying it’s bad just chaotic like here is my rundown of the plot from the end of the og phantom of the opera, Christine and phantom decide to part ways, ten years later phantom still a simp and is hung up on Christine, Christine and phantom are kinda frenemies but sound, apparently at some point in those ten years phantom and Christine got together for one night and whether he kidnapped her or not is kinda undetermined, Christine is preggo with him but doesn’t tell the kid it is phantom’s and tells him it is raoul’s, meg giry goes un poco locooooooo, meg giry accidentally makes Christine forget to exist, suddenly phantom is nice and has a kid and is forming a relationship with his kid because they both emo that Christine died. The end. This sounds like a plot written in a secret notebook owned by a 11 year old girl

[@jbvader721]

I think an 11 year old girl can up with a better story than Lord Andy.

[@klynn9170]

Technically the plot is based on a fanfic that probably came from a fever dream that the author had.

[@tylerburke7723]

I sang this Till I Hear You Sing for one of my finals in highschool choir, it's such a fantastic and fun song.

[@sunflower-xi5ct]

It is an extremely underrated song, and probably because Love Never Dies has always had very mixed opinions from people (some love it, some hate it, some are in the middle) However I’d argue ‘Til I Hear You Sing’ is right next to ‘Music of the Night’ as one of the greatest Phantom songs of all time in my not so humble opinion, I think it along with most of the other music in this show is some of the best Webber has ever written.

[@kat_plays7999]

I think there’s a third book that explains and answers your questions, but there is not a musical version of the third book. I don’t remember what it is called, but i believe ALW wrote a trilogy (POTO LND and whatever the third book is called) :))

[@eleniasimop]

He can have Meg...

[@fridayblues216]

Meg might end up killing herself since she is already demented and broken and now also have to live with the guilt of killing Christine. Raoul was never a good husband or father and he is a small man so it is good that Gustav did not end up with him. The way Raoul had been, even after the Phantom paid off his debt and all, he would probably go right back to the drinking and gambling and failures that would put him right back to a life of financial ruin.

[@NikaLarina]

@@fridayblues216 It's a pity that Raoul has become so nervous and arrogant. In "The Phantom of the Opera" he was different, ready to protect Christine. In LND he became rude and selfish. Its very sad. And I'm very sorry for Meg.

[@fridayblues216]

Yes, and I like how it was Gustave who basically pulled him back from the edge in a sense…kinda like Christine’s spirit reaching out to him through her son as Gustave is a part of her, and she will live on through him and we see that realization in the Phantoms eyes when he sings ‘Love Never Dies’ to Gustave. His Son who will now be his new reason for living, and Christine gave that to him. ❤

It's kinda just a cheap way to contrive a tragic ending. The story was good enough it didn't need that, and it doesn't do justice to her character. People would have liked it regardless (and arguably it would have done better) if she hadn't died in the end. I feel like ALW wanted to pack an emotional punch at the end, but there are other ways he could have done that without killing the leading lady.

People always scoff at that line like ‘how can Erik be that oblivious to say something like that to Meg in her mental state’, but remember now that Ramin was the Original LND’s Phantom, the role was kinda written for him….and he’s never made no secret on the fact that he plays the Phantom as being on the spectrum. And speaking as someone who does have an Autistic son and knows a little bit about it, picking up on social cues and reading certain emotional situations can be very hard at times for those that have it. So if one interprets Erik as possibly being on the spectrum, I could see him saying something like that to Meg and not realizing until it’s too late how that might be taken. Just speculating of course. 🤷‍♀

And then she basically tells Meg that she prostituted herself for nothing, basically causing her daughter to have a mental breakdown…and then she has the gall to instead blame Erik and then Christine for being Erik’s obsession which is NOT her fault! When she should be looking in the mirror and blaming HERSELF for being a crappy mother! Meg works for Erik but she’s not his freakin responsibility, he is not entitled to give her his personal attention…however Meg is Madam Giry’s DAUGHTER, and what the hell was she doing for the past 10 years?
