Some people wait to see what happened to these awesome characters. But I think that this will be tricky to make it the best it can be...As for the person that said that Christine gets killed in the book, I think that is true( my memory is a little blury) And then she tells her son to go with the man at the top of the hill because he is his real father or something while she is dying. I hope they change the name...I don't really like the name Pierre for their son. I don't think that they will let her die though. On her tombstone in ALW Movie She had died at 63 or something... And i don't think that her son would be living with her at age 63! I don't know. I just think that there are a few problems still with the story. N E Ways I think that there should be a sequel Because Adrew Lloyd Webber isn't getting any younger and he better do this now and get the story finished. These are just random thoughts......

John Barrowman I think would be perfect and much more suited than Gerard (who acted well but who's voice was too shuddery). However, Katherine, being a mezzo-soprano and Christine being a soprano may not work and I'm not sure that Katherine Jenkins has that vulnerability that Christine possess.

But recently ALW hasn't had much success with his more recent shows. Does Phantom really need a sequal? if it's not broken don't fix it. I only hope they see sense and don't cast Gerard Butler as the Phantom. As regards Frenchies comment about the Phantoms happiness, in the book by Forsythe doesn't Christine get killed.

Maybe he could have a sort of doomed happiness, you know, knowing he was loved yet dying for example? It will be interesting whatever they do. Meanwhile it's lots of fun speculating!

ALW does know what he is doing and has created many great musicals in the past, plus I have read the plot of it. It sounds like a hit. And anyway, isn't this the phenomenon we've all been looking forward too? I mean, every Phantom fan has been looking for an end that gives the Phantom some happiness, and love, and who knows, maybe this musical will have that ambition. Thanks, LIndaH.

I read the book by Forsythe and it is not a bad book, except for a few plot holes for example, there is a part where Christine gets a music box and it plays the tune to Masquerade. Christine gasps "Masquerade". Well how would Christine know the name of the song? It's sort of a mixture of all literary ironies. I can't wait. Best wishes to Lord Webber and I hope everything goes smoothly. I think that this would be a great project and I’ve been following this story since the begining.

ALW knows his stuff and Ben Elton has a great track record. I might try reading Phantom of Manhattan, interesting. I wonder if they will base it on that. Hmmm. Hi Frenchie, I agree.

I read the Phantom of Manhattan. It was not poorly written. The story-line was believable to the slightest degree, but still, not poorly written. If you just change the story-line just a bit for this musical, it is sure to be a hit. After all, none of us can predict the future, but it I could, I'd say it would be a bright one for Phantom 2.
