The sequel to Andrew Lloyd Webber's sensationally popular The Phantom of the Opera. It takes place on Coney Island, approximately ten years after the end of Phantom. Madame Giry and her daughter, Meg, helped the Phantom to escape to America after the events of the first show, and from there made it possible for him to open up a lavish amusement park on Coney Island. Then, without telling either of the Girys, he lures Christine — now married to Raoul — to come sing at his park. Craziness ensues. Music was done by Andrew Lloyd Webber, while the book was written by him, as well as Ben Elton, and Glenn Slater.The show ran from 2010-11 in the West End. A rewritten Australian production ran from 2011-12 and was filmed and released on DVD, and several other countries (Denmark, Japan, etc.) have mounted their own productions since. A Broadway staging was supposed to launch in New York City in Fall 2010, but has since been lost to Development Hell. A North American touring production launched in 2017.Compare and contrast with The Phantom of Manhattan, the novel derived from Lloyd Webber and Frederick Forsyth's ideas for a sequel in The '90s. | |

Right Behind Me | |
| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_170128e9 | comment |
Right Behind Me: As Meg leaves the bar, Raoul shouts after her that the Phantom isn't as powerful as she thinks he is, and that he's no more than a "circus freak". Then he turns and sees the Phantom has just arrived... In the London staging, as Raoul shouts about never having to see that horrible face again, he turns around and the Phantom is tending bar and not wearing his mask. | |

Papa Wolf: After Christine sings the title song and returns to the dressing room, she discovers Gustave is missing. Needless to say, his father is livid. He is ready to use every bit of his influence to stop the culprit from leaving Coney Island, even threatening murder. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Meg, who was Christine's best friend in the original musical, shoots and kills her out of jealousy. Raoul suffers this, too; although not really a villain, he became The Alcoholic and picked up a gambling problem that makes him a less-than-ideal husband to Christine, while neither trait was present in the original book or play. In the revised production, Meg tries to commit suicide, and Christine is accidentally shot as the Phantom tries to wrest the gun away. Madame Giry as well. In the original musical she pretty skillfully maintained a neutral force between the Phantom and the others. Here, she is a bitter hag who is only helping the Phantom for the reward. | |

Sequel Escalation: In a fairly clever Call-Back to the original, which had The Chandelier Of Doom And Exposition reassemble itself and rise above the audience during the overture, LND has Coney Island itself go from decrepit wreck to dazzling midway while the chorus sings about its heyday. | |

| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Towards the end of his big number about "The Beauty within", the Phantom shows Gustave his disfigured face, to which the boy instantly screams and runs off in a fright. While people are capable of looking past appearances, one can't just expect a child to have the emotional maturity to do so automatically. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Meg kills Christine. However, she dies in the Phantom's arms, and Gustave is willing to accept him as his father in the final moments. Depending on how YMMV it could also be considered a Downer Ending, as Raoul is widowed and alone, his son Gustave is left in the care of an obsessive recluse who might harm him if he does something untoward, and Meg ends up completely broken, thanks especially to Erik lighting the fuse by telling her 'we can't all be like Christine'. As Musical Hell says, the only one with a true positive outcome is Erik, who's at fault for pretty much everything that went wrong in both this and its prequel. | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: In the original London cast recording. Ramin Karimloo, Sierra Boggess, Joseph Millson and Harry Child have of course an English accent, Summer Strallen has rather strangely an American one, while Sally Dexter, like Miranda Richardson in the 2004 movie, has a French accent... albeit not a very good one, which, to be honest, borders more on the Transylvanian accent. | |

Ominous Music Box Tune: The music box the three freaks give Gustave upon arrival plays the opening strains of "The Point of No Return", alterting Christine to the danger she and her family are walking into. (In the London version, it only played a cheerful march at first, but then "Point of No Return" just before the Phantom enters Christine's room.) | |

Amusement Park of Doom: The pre-Retool prologue was set a few years after the play's main action, with Phantasma a mostly-abandoned ruin inhabited only by its freaks. | |

The Reveal | |
| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: The show pivots on three big reveals: one, the Phantom and Christine had a one-night stand, two, he's Gustave's father, and three, the Phantom's dreams could never have been realized if Meg hadn't been forced into prostitution. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Originally, Christine and company came to the U.S. on the ship Persephone; this was subsequently changed, but the detail turns up on the soundtrack album. And why didn't she and Raoul suspect anything was amiss when she was asked to perform at a park called Phantasma? (The Australian version changes this plot point — she comes to the U.S. because she's been hired by Oscar Hammerstein, but the Phantom does some arm twisting to convince her to sing for him instead - unless, of course, the Phantom was impersonating Hammerstein when she was hired, which is probable - he doesn't pick up the de Chagny's from the pier as "he" promised he would, "he" invites Raoul to the bar for a meeting and never shows up, allowing the Phantom and Christine to have some time alone, and most damningly, the Phantom knows exactly how much "he" agreed to pay Christine to sing.) | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: At the end, the Phantom has almost talked Meg down... only to inadvertently call her less beautiful than Christine. That's enough to make Meg shoot Christine (original production) or attempt suicide and accidentally shoot Christine while she's fighting over the gun with the Phantom (revised production). | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: One has to wonder if Lloyd Webber completely forgot about the prologue to Phantom when writing this sequel, or anything about the timeline. The bulk of Phantom takes place in 1881 and its prologue in 1905. Love Never Dies is set during 1907. What's more, Raoul's dialogue when buying the music box in Phantom's prologue is in past tense, implying that Christine may already be dead by the time of Love Never Dies. There are also multiple mentions of ten years passing between the events of Phantom and the events of Love Never Dies. It's actually 26 years (or two, if the prologue is counted). The recap of the last show's events on the DVD place the events of the original Phantom in 1895, which would be (roughly) ten years prior to the given date. Regardless, this still conflicts with the dates given in the original. | |

Melodrama: As per its predecessor, the characters get themselves into a lather over every little thing.

| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_d08595d3 | comment |
Broken Bird: With all the time and effort she's spent on the Phantom and pining for (and being ignored by) him, it's Meg Giry who seems to be the most pitiable character in the show, oddly enough supplanting his role in the last show. | |

Cheerful Child: Gustave is sweet, loving, and excited and curious about the world of Coney Island; the only real concern he has is that his father doesn't care much about him or his mother. | |

Distracted by the Luxury | |
| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_d77d719d | comment |
Distracted by the Luxury: The Phantom gives Christine a necklace during "Before the Performance", probably hoping that by reminding her that he is wealthy now (as opposed to the near-penniless Raoul) he can invoke this trope and ensure that she will sing for him again. | |

Writers Cannot Do Math | |
| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_da1c8191 | comment |
Writers Cannot Do Math: The sequel, set in 1907, is supposed to take place ten years after the original. Whether you go by the stage version (set in 1881) or the movie (1870), this doesn't add up. The opening text on the filmed version of the Australian staging says the original's events took place in 1895! But it also says Love Never Dies takes place in 1905, so it's semi-averted. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: The Phantom once was, of course, a psychopathic murderer, yet Christine is still attracted to him. Meg Giry counts as well, her love for him the result of being brought up by Madame Giry to serve him, and the poor girl trying to find a sense of validation for it all. Too bad he doesn't know any of that... | |

Come to Gawk | |
| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_dde7da12 | comment |
Come to Gawk: Inverted in the Australian production. The Phantom shows Gustave the Phantasma freak show during "The Beauty Underneath", which features a group of pinheads, a cyclops, a winged fairy, a mermaid, a man with never-cut fingernails, etc., most of them housed in mirrored obelisks. However, the setup is rather glamorous (especially when one recalls that the Phantom, who grew up in a freak show, was imprisoned in a cage and [in the movie version] abused) and the sequence is a moment of bonding between the Phantom and Gustave because the latter thinks Freaky Is Cool. | |

Crowd Song | |
| Love Never Dies (Theatre) / int_f16f631d | comment |
Crowd Song: "Heaven by the Sea", before it was dropped; its purpose and status as a crowd song is filled in the Australian production by "The Coney Island Waltz" via incorporating the lyrics from the show's original prologue. Some of its music appears in "Only for You" as well. | |

Glorified Sperm Donor: The Phantom. Despite his running out on Christine immediately after conceiving Gustave and showing no evidence that he could make a decent parent, we're supposed to be happy when he ends up with the kid he's never known. At least he's not an alcoholic... | |
