I'm amazed and flabbergasted that this thread has gone this long without one mention of Puccini.

It might be because most people haven't listened to "Love Never Dies" to know if Webber pulled anything from Puccini for this show. Or it might be because this show wasn't very successful, so if he did pull from the master - either musically or dramaturgically, as he has done in the past - it didn't do Webber much good.

But thanks for keeping us focused on this. It's important we don't forget. ;-)

LOL. But indeed, one of the more famous songs in the show has perhaps the most direct steal he's ever made. And yet, no scandal...;-)

I don’t know how to link this, but a friend sent me s clip from, it seemed, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s facebook page in which he speaks eloquently and simply about the merits of this revised,, Australian-produced LOVE NEVER DIES. He acknowledges that the first production (despite the remarkable talents of the team, including Sierra Bogess) didn’t quite gel, and it was because, he says, he developed cancer as the project progressed, and he couldn’t do his best with it. He seems genuinely pleased with this later, revised version, which will be streamed this weekend. It’s worth trying to find the interview on his facebook page.
