Upcoming Sequel to "Phantom of the Opera"

The lyrics croon, "The Phaaaaaantom of the Opera is here. . . ."

Literally!

Many years after the smashing success of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, news has come that the playwright is doing right by audiences once more, and will have a sequel to the beloved play ready by 2009.

Keep in mind that 2009 is only days away.

In a recent interview with the Times of London, Webber reported that the title of the musical will be Phantom: Love Never Dies, and it will be an all-out global event, with late-2009 releases all over the world's most popular musical theater locations.

The original Phantom of the Opera was released more than two decades ago. It certainly says something about staying power, that after 20 years, crowds are still hungering for more, more, more!

Here's hoping that some of the songs will be as catchy as those in the original! The Phaaaaaantom of the Opera . . . !
