Liked Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera"?

Well, in case you didn't know, Andrew Lloyd Webber is making a sequel to what I say is one of the best musicals I have ever seen! He's calling it "Love Never Dies," and it's based off of Frederick Forsyth's book, "The Phantom of Manhattan" (which was written to act as a direct sequel to Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical anyway, so kudos for that).
At first, I wasn't too sure how to feel about this. I mean, it's "The Phantom of the Opera," for crying out loud; a musical sequel to that has some big shoes to fill. But I watched the press release and saw an interview with ALW, and even saw a performance of the Phantom that's cast in London for the Sunset festival. And I must say, that I am indeed impressed.
I plan on seeing it when it comes to America (New York) in November. I wanna try to get there opening night, but one way or another I will be seeing this. The original "Phantom" was breathtaking when I saw it (the stageplay; I didn't see the movie until later). So, here's hoping ALW does it again! *winks*
