Absolutely. It's like how they compare the stage versions. There will always be different versions so we should just appreciate them all for what they are

They look great but that black bush on her dress is awkward? Looks like they said we need to make her boobs look bigger, let's slap a black bush on them.

Well, it's styled like a fancy evening gown Actually, I just realized what that is - petals. Black petals to contrast with the red rose he gives her in the movie

I get the metaphor of it, but it just looks weird.

I know but I adore the symbolism -






Their whole relationship is symbolized in that rose - unfulfilled, yet lasting forever.

So pretty.

Yeah I get the symbolism too, but they could have used something that was nicer at least, it just looks like a black blob, not much detail.

I love how the rose is a recurring image in TPOTO for Phantom and Christine's love - in her dressing room, on the roof, at the graveyard... All these significant places to remind the audience that no matter who ends up with who, they are always a presence in each other's lives, even in death.


If you've seen or read the sequel LOVE NEVER DIES, it makes the final scene of TPOTO much more poignant.

There is, and let's just say it'll make you quite happy if you longed for Phantom and Christine to be together although it's just as sad as the first, in a lot of ways.

I’ll have to look into that!

I’m off for the night, it’s almost 2am for me.

Thanks for the convos, games across the board! TTYL.

Goodnight Millie


LOVE NEVER DIES (TPOTO sequel) was filmed as a stage production and released on DVD I've seen the Australian version and it's wonderful. Here are a few pics -

It's worth it! It is set 10 years after TPOTO and takes place in Coney Island. Many of the original characters return (Madame Giry, Meg, Raoul etc).
