I saw the theatrical version of Love Never Dies with a few of my buddies after free pancake day at IHop.
It was entertainingly bad.
"This is what happens when you let ALW write fanfiction."
"Why is Raoul dressed up as the 8th doctor?"
(Phantom dangling Gustav on the balcony)
"Worst. Father. Ever."
"Insert Michael Jackson joke here."
Phantom: Let me show you the beauty underneath...
Fluff: Gross.
(Gustav's "yes...yes..." during a certain climax)
"This is all sorts of wrong..."
(Christine is told she has five minutes until curtain. She is wearing a white dress.)
(Christine appears in a purple-blue-peacock-colored dress)
"Wait...it takes her five minutes to get out of a white gown and into a new gown right before showtime?"
(Phantom just realizes Christine dies)
Fluff: Insert a James Earl Jones "No!!" here.
"Phantom...Raoul...give it another hundred or so years and both of you can be Gustav's fathers!"
Raoul: I need a drink
Fluff: So do I
"Lol...Raoul rhymes with fool."
"And then I BONKED you!!!"
"TEN YEARS OLD!!!"
(sound of us trying to hold in our laughter)
(Running line: Ten years ago...)
"How long ago was it again?"
"So, the Phantom thinks Gustav is his son because he plays piano...and Christine is a singer and her father was a musician..."
(Raoul and Gustav dressing exactly the same in their introduction sequence)
"I shall call him, MiniMe!"
"Why is Brental Floss in this?"
And there's that part of me that's morbidly curious about Barrowman as Raoul on the original cast recording (before he was replaced).
