Christine dies in the Phantom's arms, but not before revealing to Gustave the identity of his true father. In despair, Meg abducts Gustave, threatens to shoot herself, and accidentally shoots Christine instead.
Christine is once again forced to choose between the Phantom and Raoul, and this time she chooses the Phantom. Madame Giry forced Meg to become a prostitute in order to supply the Phantom with more money, and they're both jealous of the attention he gives Christine and Gustave. Raoul is a bitter drunkard who has wasted away his family's fortune on booze and gambling. Christine arrives with the Phantom's illegitimate son, who was conceived the night before she married Raoul. When he learns that she is coming to America to perform for Oscar Hammerstein, he coerces her to sing for him one last time, which she agrees to do (despite the fact that she ought to know better by now). Ten years after the events of the original musical, the Phantom has become a successful amusement park owner in Coney Island, New York, but he still pines for Christine. Love Never Dies appeals to a somewhat different audience because it overthrows established themes and ideas in favor of more self-indulgent ones. A video of the Melbourne production was released in 2012, and ALW pronounced himself proud of it. After a disappointing West End run, the show was reworked for the 2011 Melbourne production. In 2010, this novel was adapted into its own musical, entitled Love Never Dies. In 1999, Fredrick Forsyth wrote a sequel to the original Lloyd-Webber musical entitled The Phantom of Manhattan. Some names are changed (perhaps to make them easier to sing) and some, like Raoul's older brother and the Persian, are written out altogether. Webber's version focuses more on the romance of the story than the mystery, but the Phantom retains his dignity and gets his redemption in the end. Webber's musical follows the story of Leroux's novel relatively faithfully as it pertains to Christine, the Phantom (who goes unnamed), and Raoul. The musical score was composed by Webber with lyrics by Charles Hart with contributions from Richard Stilgoe. In 1986, Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical adaptation of the novel opened in London's West End, starring Michael Crawford as the Phantom, Sarah Brightman as Christine Daaé, and Steve Barton as Raoul. Lon Cheney got the "ugly" part a lot more closely than Andrew Lloyd Webber did. Notable for dissing the original Leroux work, making the Phantom wear a clown mask, making Christine bear the Phantom's rape baby, making Raoul impotent, and killing Christine. Inspiration for the awful Phantom: Love Never Dies. Written by Fredrick Forsyth and published in 1999. Written by Terry Pratchett and published in 1995, Maskerade is a Discworld novel that parodies the story. It begins with his mother's POV, switches to Erik's when he runs away from home, then to master stonemason Giovanni's, then to the Persian's (here named Nadir Khan), back to Erik, then Christine, and finally to Raoul.įrom this adaptation comes Erik's cat, Ayesha. Written by Susan Kay and published in 1991, Phantom is a re-telling of Erik's life from the points of view of various key people. His true canonical appearance does not stop fans from finding him Teh hawTt.Īlso overlooked is the character of the Persian, who was replaced by Madame Giry in the ALW musical and film. Oh, and he's really, really, I mean damn-I've-seen-better-looking- corpses UGLY.

Thus, some miss certain important details such as the fact that the Phantom's name is Erik, that his eyes are yellow, and that he wears a full black mask. The original novel is sadly ignored by many in the Phantom of the Opera fandom, because of the relative overpowering visibility of movies, musicals, and other media. It was translated to English in 1911 and has since been adapted into multiple books and films as well as the popular musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
