Description
Perhaps this requires a bit of an explanation!You may all be aware of the musical "Love Never Dies" and my previous hatred toward it, ever since it was announced in 2007. I even met Ramin Karimloo in 2009 before he was officially on-board the project, and he told me "it's a wonderful story... one of redemption" and at first I didn't believe him.
Well, last month I saw the Melbourne (Australian) production in theaters with Anna O'Brien and Ben Lewis... It was a gorgeous production and the actors were phenomenal. All in all, I didn't hate it as much as I expected... and now that it's coming on DVD I'm actually excited to get my own copy.
I never thought I'd actually say this, but it's been growing on me... and now I actually really really like "Love Never Dies."
OH MY GOSH WHO AM I KIDDING I ADORE THE MUSIC, I'M TOTALLY OK WITH THE PLOT NOW AND I'M JUST GEEKING OUT OVER THE MELBOURNE PRODUCTION. It's like... seriously almost as good as the original.
And it was only fitting that when these gorgeous photos of Anna O'Brien came out with that red costume (sigh!) I had to draw this... I tried to tie in the original musical with Love Never Dies with the use of the carnival lights and the foggy background... looks a bit reminiscent of the Lair set up (although just a tad more romantic!)
Phew! Glad I got that all off my chest. Enjoy!!
[EDIT]: APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I really apologize if I got most of you going, but I'm NOT in love with "Love Never Dies" any more than I'm in love with Grease 2... I DID think the Melbourne production was fun to watch, but more for the laughs. So, I'll still keep this up for your enjoyment but yep, I still stand in the "haters" group, so to speak. Still, I hope you enjoyed my prank while it lasted!

XD, whatevs... I'm pretty gullible sometimes... It's OK, though, because we recorded most of PBS's Phantom in Prince Albert Hall a few weeks ago, and I'm getting to watch that gradually. And in two summers I'll see Phantom and Wicked in London, so at least we agree on some musicals!

whoot! That's exciting. And that's ok, most people fell for it anyway!

XD, yeah... I'm not even going to pretend I wasn't fazed by that, but I do admit it was a pretty good joke... I should have known you'd never cross over though... Do you have cookies or do I have cookies? I can't tell which is the dark side, XD.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmmm i would say whatever side seems to be the one with people less inhibited is the "dark side" so love never dies is definitely the dark side. ;D

I KNOW! I SAW IT IN THEATERS AND I WAS LIKE "HOW COULD ANYONE HATE THIS LIKE I DID?" I cried, really hard...which like, 27 other girls. I bought it on blueray :3 Super good! I lovelovelovelovelove it!!

The same thing happened to me! I only really liked the score to LND, and really hated the story, and then I saw the Melbourne production, and how it fixed a lot of stupid plot holes, and I'm really enjoying it. All of the costumes and effects were Fantastic too!
Once again, great colours!

...it's an April Fool's joke, right?
Either way, I love that costume

i love LOVE NEVER DIES but i only hered the music and i liv in america so its kinda of hard to see musicals
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am overall OK with it. I mean I like the music and the plot line is OK with me. Its just the costumes and set design that I am sort of unhappy with :/ Still Great pic!!

Lovely picture. Love Never Dies is funny like that. I actually saw it before I saw the original, so there was no original hatred. The music is great but the plot could be better. Though it is easy to make fun of, I can't say I dislike it. No judging until you've seen someting, I guess.

Melbourne patched up everything that it needed to.

I KNOW I was totally against it... until I listened to the songs on YouTube and now I'm phan-spazzing about it
