| Just to clarify, it is the NEW US tour version that is completely restaged and directed and makes the Phantom out to be more of a creepy stalker. The magic was completely sucked out of the show, in my opinion. I hope that they never bring that version to NY. Yes, I have seen LND, and I am not a fan, so you won't catch me making any connections from the wonderful original show to the odd sequel. There are several gorgeous songs in the LOVE NEVER DIES score that I love to hear in concert, however! I think attempting a sequel to POTO was a losing battle on all sides. To answer your question about when The Phantom and Christine create the child, they explain it all in one of the LND songs (Beneath A Moonless Sky). |

| LynnO, thanks for pointing out where in the text of LND it explains the timeline of The Phantom and Christine's "romance." As I imagine you agree, that they would get together after the course of the events in POTO makes even less sense than it having happened during those events. Christine would not have cheated on Raoul after they were a couple. LND is just character assassination all around. | |

| Yet more questions: Since Charles Hart wrote the lyrics to ''Phantom,'' why didn't he write the lyrics to ''Love Never Dies''? ''Love Never Dies'' has 4 names attached to the book: Lloyd Webber, Ben Elton, Frederick Forsyth and Glenn Slater (who did the lyrics). What's that saying about ''too many cooks ruining the broth''? (Among its songs, however, I do love the soaring ''Til I Hear You Sing.'') |

| Ah, like I said, I'm not that deep of a fan to know all those stories, I think you should do the research, Wayman! I adore "'Til I Hear You Sing," (thank you for that link!) and I also love "Beneath a Moonless Sky." |
