A... Phantom... SEQUEL.

Let's see. The musical that had that fantastic There-are-no-words the-not-quite-end ending that works because of the mystery involved... is getting a sequel.

Okay. I know we love the stuff we loved a decade or two ago, and that it's great to remember and pay homage, but we can't remake/continue everything!

Have you *read* the sequel??? It is too horrible to contemplate! Let's just say it involves amusement parks, an precocious boy-child (and I'm not referring to Raoul) and a cameo by Teddy Roosevelt.
...I wish I were kidding.

[cleolinda]

Okay, the Teddy Roosevelt part I hadn't heard about. Good God.

...On Coney Island.

SRSLY.

Oh, no. It's coming back to me... I do remember a friend playing "Horrify the Phantom of the Opera Sequel Noob" with me and my horrified friends.

It could be worse. Read the Sherlock Holmes crossovers (no, not fanfic either) and despair.

Ok, srsly? That sounds AWESOME, in a deeply horrifying sort of way.
