I went and saw it with my husband in sydney, Phantom has a special meaning for us as 20yrs ago we saw Phantom of the Opera in melbourne and we were not together then, but wished we could be, and randomly with our then partners ended up seeing it at the same time in another state. We both seperately saw it again in the years that followed, me in London and he in Sydney. So returning for the sequel "Love Never Dies" 20yrs later was an interesting emphasis on how life can sometimes circle back. Aside from our personal significance the cast was also brilliant, especially the Phantom, he sang amazingly just like Michael Crawford did him in the first one and Christine Daae's main song is where she really shines and the set for this song and the costume is visually absolutely stunningly beautiful. I would have loved to sit and have photographed it, it was a work of art. The set was brilliant and very well done. Don't expect Phantom 1 epic quality, but definitely go see Love Never Dies. We want to see it again.

Favourite moment: Christine Daae's main song with the beautiful costume and set, followed by the last closing scene. @
