“Phantom” Sequel Re-Opens
“Love Never Dies,” the sequel to “Phantom of the Opera,” has been rejigged and revised in London. Bill Kenwright made some changes to Jack O’Brien’s original direction. Critics were invited back, and on the whole they seem to be happier with the new version, which is what we’ll see in New York.
As of December 23, I count three positive reviews and four negative reviews. The reviews are as mixed about the show with revisions as they were about the show the first time it opened.
