Artistically, however, LOVE NEVER DIES has already failed thanks to its own existence, which completely undermines the ending of the original PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. We feel strongly that Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest musical, LOVE NEVER DIES, is a completely misguided venture that is a detriment to the story of the original PHANTOM OF THE OPERA novel and musical of the same name and that, contrary to the information being reported by the Really Useful Group and perpetuated by the ill-informed media, is not in the interest of nor desired by the story's many fans. Virtually everything about the show strikes us as illogical, irrational, offensive and frankly stupid. While there is little that can be done at this stage to stop the show from reaching the stage at all, we aim to provide a platform for the many people out there who maintain that this should have never been given the green light and who are disappointed and disillusioned by the decisions of Lloyd Webber, his creative team and the Really Useful Group regarding LOVE NEVER DIES.# Find out why the fans of PHANTOM are so disappointed here: http://www.phantomoftheopera.com/phantom-of-the-opera-sequel.html You can support our protest by signing up to our Facebook page or our Twitter (search for Love Should Die).

Good comics are totally willing to put themselves out there and do anything to entertain the audience. These traits are important for any performer.
