Long-running musical gets 'second' wind
本文作者: 21ST
SHANGHAI could be among the first cities in the world to see British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber's sequel to the musical Phantom of the Opera, due to hit the stage in 2009. The original Phantom was based on a novel by Frenchman Gaston Leroux. It has become the longest-running Broadway show in history, earning more money at the box office than the film Titanic. Webber hopes to open the sequel, Phantom: Love Never Dies, simultaneously in three cities – New York, London and Shanghai. "The [opening] which really interests me would be China," he told the London Times. "I think to open Love Never Dies in Shanghai would be an enormous thing." The Phantom character dies in the original, but Webber says he will reunite with his lover Christine in Love Never Dies.
