First it was 9/11. Then Mayor Bloomberg brought us the 2004 Republican National Convention. And now, as if we haven’t been punished enough:
‘Phantom of the Opera’ Sequel Due in 2009
LONDON - A new “Phantom of the Opera” is coming to Broadway, and beyond. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber told the Times of London on Sunday that “the button is pushed” on a sequel to the world’s most successful musical.
He plans to open “Phantom: Love Never Dies” at the end of 2009, with a historic simultaneous opening in three cities — on Broadway in New York, in London’s West End, and potentially in Shanghai. Such an opening would be groundbreaking.
This could be worse than Cats and Mamma Mia combined. Happy Fucking New Year.

I have to say I agree with you! I was highly unimpressed with the original Phantom of the Opera!
Happy 2009!

Oh. My. God.
Freude, Cats at least has the grace to have been a novelty. Phantom (Menace?) was just a calculated piece of crap that no one I know will admit to even seeing, much less performing in.

Being positive and upbeat on this first day of New Years I won't say that Momma Mia is the worse dreck ever created.
