I have a few questions about the new musical
Love Never Dies, the sequel to
Phantom of The Opera, I wonder if any of you can help me?
1) If Love Never Dies is set 10 years after the original, and the Phantom Of The Opera took place in 1881, then why does it seem to be about 1907? These dates and numbers don't add up for me.
2) There was a sequel to the original book by the author who wrote Phantom of The Opera, and that sequel was called "Love Never Dies" but then there was the Frederick Forsyth novel called "The Phantom of Manhattan" Which one is the new musical based on?
3) Andrew Lloyd Webber says in one video that it was Ben Elton who went away and came up with a plot that recycled the orginal characters, but then at the press release he seems to suggest there was a "we" who came up with that idea. Is this new story Ben Elton's creation or Glenn Slater and ALW's ?
4) What happened to the simultaneous opening in Singapore? Seems to have been replaced by a vague intention to open
Love Never Dies in Australia in 2010 sometime. Australia is not Singapore.
Thanks for any leads or clues.
