‘Stodgy’ Phantom sequel gets lukewarm reviews

THERE were lukewarm reviews for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Love Never Dies yesterday with some critics doubtful the long-awaited sequel to The Phantom Of The Opera will prove as successful as the original.

Writing in The Daily Mail, Quentin Letts declared: “A hit? Not quite.”

Charles Spencer, in The Daily Telegraph, described the musical as “Lloyd Webber’s finest show since the original Phantom”.
