Mixed reviews for Lloyd Webber’s Phantom sequel
March 15, 2010
Love Never Dies, the sequel to The Phantom of the Opera has received mixed reviews from critics this week. While some have given it a whopping five out of five stars, others have condemned it to only one or two.
It has been described as superb, “his finest show since the original Phantom” with good singing and actors’ performances. Many critics who gave the show poor reviews for plot, substance and believability said the set and special effects “cannot be faulted” and that Andrew Lloyd Webber’s score is wonderful.
The plot has been criticised as having “bizarre mechanics” and as being implausible, and the play has been called “Paint Never Dries” by one harsh critic.
One critic says:
“This Phantom is not the phantom we knew. The “poisoned gargoyle who burns in hell” has clearly taken an anger management course in New York… Where’s the menace, the horror, the psychological darkness?”
I think the moral is that we’re going to have to go and see it to make up our minds, as it looks like the jury’s out on this one.
