At least in in the end Erik learned he was capable of loving someone else more than he knew . Illusion can turn into reality.

Also, the Beauty Underneath was revised from the Australian version. It's less rock-ish. And instead of having all the carneys in glass pillars, the bridge just moves around. It's the album that is red with a white phantom mask. It was sold during the 2018 U.S Tour but is essentially the Aussie version with a revision of Beauty Underneath except where Gustave is played by a young actor from Chicago, and the song Streets of Coney Island plays during the chase.

This show is like The Room. It's so bad, it's good. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen this or the original stage musical, but I’ve seen a fair amount of content and reactions from other sources, ( including Lindsay Ellis and Musical Hell ) and something that really bugs me is how much they seem to call back to Christine’s love song with Raoul. And the call backs happen a lot when Christine and the Phantom are singing in this production I’m guessing in an effort to associate the feelings expressed in that song to Christine and the Phantom being together. But he also sang it in the original during Point of No Return where he’s trying to manipulate her into a relationship with him, which could also lead to the association that when you her that melody, that’s the Phantom manipulating Christine. And also, why didn’t they call back to it when Raoul was pleading with Christine and trying to appeal to her? That would’ve been perfect for him to sing then cause he’s trying to remind her how they felt when the first in love and is promising they’ll have that again. Instead, they call back to his drunken woe is me number cause we have to do everything to make sure Raoul is not an option. Just something I’ve been musing over when I noticed it.

"You know, i would totally forget the father of my child everytime i looked at them too and not remember the literal father of my child ever. Thats crazy to even think that my son even has a father"

3:52-3:56 I'm going to guess someone has already mentioned this, but ALW didn't write the "Beetlejuice" musical. This is my first time watching this review of LND. Definitely subscribing to this channel.

I think I could stand this show only because I watched the london version and it’s performed by the 25th cast with chemistry.

I don't think Andy was involved in Beetlejuice, tho.

You're totally right, I saw Alex Brightman and Winter Garden and my mind immediately went to ALW 😫

I actually loved it 🤷🏽‍♀️

Dummy...you never should have said like Christine... he had her they for once could have been together.. but no they had to part just like the first time and this time her quote on quote b.f. shoots her. Both musicals are tragic... both left us all what. .they both lose again...ugh now he has this boy and has to change his way of life . All he has ever known is isolation but I think he was determined to change all that

I see all good in musicals but ......what can I say I grew up in musical theater.

Musical hell (youtube chanel) was right beneath the moonless sky can only be saved by a pornographic rewrite of it 😂.

This show is to be enjoyed by non musical know all’s cuz I loved it

The description of imposing the structure of Cats onto POTO is a really great way of describing the structural issues actually Just a tiny thing though -- I feel it still makes sense for the Phantom to have a grand piano as well considering they're very different instruments with very different timbres and I'm sure as a musician he probably plays many instruments. Not that this show was thinking about this though -- in terms of set simplicity it's unnecessary to have to bring a piano on stage when you've already got a keyboard console set from before. I like how you talk about the changes in character dynamics -- you said a lot of what I've thought about this show (but have never really had anyone to say it too, rip). Come to think of it I actually I feel like this was trying to be Passion but worse, haha

Beetlejuice is not Andrew Lloyd Webber's.

I wish that guy with the glasses would shut up! It is a lot better without him!

ughh, ok when you mentioned getting back to some musicals I did not know we were going here, but unpredictability is why I subscribe. I was late to the phantom party and I did not fall for this musical until I found Sierra Boggess. her Christine (and yes Ramin is a crush to), just hit me well. So I found myself immersed in the anniversary production. But I have refused to believe or watch this mistake and wanted this story left alone. You are braver than I. I am half way through Hank and not sure I can make it the rest of way but trying. 🙂✌️!

Haha yes Boggess was especially great as Christine! Would love to hear about her experience doing this show in London.

I was there, Gandalf. I was there when the internet collectively saw the nightmare plot for what it was (and we cheered the cat for deleting the original score, R.I.P. Oscar). Anyway, welcome to the masquerade, friend. Also highly recommend the Dutch, Swedish, and Canadian (brace yourself for Colm, but Rebecca is golden) albums. Bootlegs are your friend.

I watched this live in horror. I'm like my baby has been ruined. There is so much wrong with this. What the he'll was Andrew thinking . But I has to respect him when he asked me what I thought.ughhh. and Meg and her mother . I know he was trying but should have left it alone. You were confusing people especially with the child. When did her and Erik have time to do the deed lol

I'm so sorry that you had to sit through this. Your description is hilarious 😂

Just glad I don't so any drugs... cus when I went to the premiere of this I literally felt like me and a cast member of the original we were on acid the 2 hrs during Intermission we were like what just happened ? Cringing the whole time . We thought it couldn't get any worse. There are some good points to it. But Ramin that worked on in the original as a assistant stage manager as well did love never dies also. And he had no comment lol

Did Lindsay Ellis actually quit youtube?

This is hilarious😅

Why do the Yanks seem to be so rude. There are some bangers in this show, I am yet to see a Brit to be so savage, It's always someone who couldn't do the job better themselves. There are some Banging Tunes in this show. If you don't like it leave it be. Instead of being so spiteful.

It's strange to insinuate that it's out of spite. I didn't criticize the performances, I criticized the story. I think the performers do what they can with the material. Also, most of these performers are Australian, so why bother to make this about Americans vs. Brits? It's a non sequitur.

I don't even remember the LSD group hating on any of the performers and crew. They're all clearly skilled and worked their butts off for a book that obviously isn't worth their time. It just had money behind it. You can find better Phantom fics nearly anywhere on the internet. Look at those costumes, look at those sets, listen to those voices and then read the libretto. They all deserve better. They've worked too hard for this nonsense.

I'm not a "yank", and I think this "sequel" was a mistake. A complete spit in the face of the work of Gaston Leroux. A musical adaptation of a bad fanfic that doesn't get the whole point of the original work. Why on earth would Christine have a child with her stalker? Why the complete character assassination of Raoul, the Giry's and Christine? Even with alcohol and gambling addiction, Raoul is still a better man than the stalking, murdering,kidnapping, manipulative incel basement dweller. You know it's bad writing when they have to make the nice guy into a jerk out of the blue. And Meg's storyline makes no sense. In the original play, she's TERRIFIED of the Phantom. Now, she's crazy in love with him? And spiteful against Christine? Why? The moral of the original story is that Eruk needs to let Christine go as an act of true sacrificial love. It needs no sequel. Especially not a mess like this one. "Yank" or not, people are allowed to have opinions.

i actually really like LND, obviously the original is better but i find the plot interesting and it went in a direction i wasn’t expecting. i can definitely see how all these characters changed the way they did, most sequels don’t portray massive personality shifts as characters get older but that is so common for real people. of course if you’re comparing it to phantom, it’s always going to fall short, especially if you’re looking for things to hate as this reactor was, but as a musical itself i find it fun :)

Andrew Lloyd Webber is a billionaire and didn’t write Beetlejuice - who is the dumb one now?
