Dear Andrew Lloyd Webber,
Really? You made a sequel to The Phantom of the Opera? A sequel in which the Phantom produces a successful show called "Phantasma" in Coney Island? A sequel in which Raoul is a drunken gambler and Christine's son Gustave is actually the illegitimate child of the Phantom? (Sorry if I just ruined the big surprise for you.)
(I know that it sounds like a premise for a Monty Python movie or something, but I am not making this up.)
Andy, Andy, Andy. Why was I not consulted before this happened? I feel like I could have somehow stopped this from happening.
Andrew Lloyd Webber: So, Jules, I've been thinking about creating a sequel to The Phantom of the Opera.
Me: No.
Andrew Lloyd Webber: But, it will be amazing! It's going to be called Love Never Dies and set in Coney Island, of all places!
Me: No.
Andrew Lloyd Webber: BUT!
Me: *Slapping Mr. Webber in the face.* Pull yourself together, man! NO!
Alas, I wasn't there to tell him this. Ah well.

Why did no one tell him this was a bad idea?

I couldn't agree with you more. I saw the commercial on TV the other day, then looked at the website, then threw up in my mouth a little.
So, so, so, so lame.
Man-O-man...a dude at work was just reading an thing about that and I was just reading your post...That is the most horrible thing I have ever heard...I don't understand how he could think that would be good or even close. Wow.
Coney Island!! How much more awesome can it get!!! It's like the Dungeons & Dragons movie!
This is why I love you. Thank you so much for posting this. I feel quite passionate about this subject as well, and quite grateful I'm not the only one who despises the sequel.
I can't help but agree and laugh heartily at your wording. Coney Island....really, Andy? Really? DUUUUMMMMBBB!! I think I'll pass.
