Phantom of the opera & Love Never Dies blog I shall offer you what i can offer.

[benlewisetpotofan]

Sorry for the late post, but from my recent poll, Hugh won! (With Ben being a close second)

A very anticipated win, to say the least.

Also, I'll be posting a new blog soon, after my exams and perhaps on the weekends. Though in the poll i will include the past top 2 phantoms , whilst the others are replaced by other names (not repeating by the way). And i will check the comments too for suggestions. (But with a twist, the poll will have people who played Christine in it.)

So er, please comment so i can get suggestions while im searching for both phantoms and christines.

And I'll be doing about maybe 5 each group, but if I'm not feeling lazy ,10 people per group.

The costume design in Love Never Dies is just chef's kiss! But honestly? I love the elegant style LND has.

Ben and Anna are quite a good match too!

Though the musical ain't that great as a sequel, more like a standout (or standoff, not very great at English words i don't know yet.)

But seriously, the set design is good too! I love the idea of a rotating stage, able to scene change very quickly. And the songs are pure perfection, even if the story is quite jumbled up. And the makeup for Christine, and other characters is just gorgeous!

[benlewisetpotofan]

It's the big 3!

And the romantic 2.

But seriously, Anna O'byrne is gorgeous! And Ben charming as always.

Okay so, like, tonight i just finished watching Love Never Dies.

I love the music so much! Ben lewis sings so good, Anna and Ben have chemistry! But let's just say i have fallen victim to the character assassination of Raoul and other characters, it makes the story seem more.. justified when it isn't.

I mean, yeah, i loved Raoul in the original prequel, but the fact he was turned into a gambler and an alcoholic so suddenly is just dissapointing.

Sorry if i can't really describe everything and basically the flaws the show has, English isn't really my first language. but anyways! I found the ending very sad, made me cry, but the music..THE MUSIC , it's so good, it some what makes up for the terrible story writing. And the costume design is wonderful! They have nice sets to be honest, especially during once upon another time. And i love the rotating stages!

I'm gonna list my favorite music from the musical!

Once Upon Another Time

Beneath a Moonless Sky

Devil Take the Hindmost

Look with Your Heart

Love Never Dies

And many more! Though beneath a moonless sky is basically a musical description of a one night stand between Erik and Christine.

I can officially say I'm quite infatuated with Ben Lewis! And his voice is absolutely haunting in LND and other bootleg recordings i could find on YouTube.

And he's also quite Handsome, don't ya think? Though his birthday is nearing, September 28! Though correct me if I'm wrong.

Rest in peace, Ben. (He died on October 9, 2026 in the early hours of the morning. He was terribly young, 46 years old, lost to bowel cancer.)

Here's an interview video of Ben!

[benlewisetpotofan]

Hello!

I can proudly say i am now a proud owner of an electric piano.

I've been practicing some POTO and LND pieces, though it's quite complex.
