Admittedly, I'm not the right audience for something like this, seeing as how I think musicals would be more tolerable if not for all that singing. That, and I've never seen Phantom on the stage, and wouldn't care to. Andrew Lloyd Webber hasn't had a hit in years, and instead of taking a hint and retiring, he decided to go back to what was his last hit, Phantom of the Opera, and come up with a sequel. This despite the fact that the story wrapped up things in a way that didn't require a sequel. Well, there's no life in this retread, with a love triangle involving a cranky count, his torn wife, and a more possessive than ever scarred nutcase who seems to have issues with letting go. Even the supporting characters seem irritated. The performers themselves give it what they've got, but they're hampered by this soulless, unneeded train wreck Webber gave them.
