Well, i I saw phantom 8 times on westend it is still actually pretty good live. AND I saw Love Never Dies on its final week, which was a dog's dinner, all lead to one pretty conventional song and a terrible anticlimax. I think Lloyd Webber killed off Christine to pay for his divorce as a revenge to his ex-wife. His muse for Christine was Sarah Brightman his ex wife in the original run of the musical. I personally think phantom was a little bit semi autobiographical... he was the phantom in the story.
Things are not going well for Page... pity... this can be a beautiful program.
