Lot666 said: Actually, there's no mention of a fire in the prologue of the original Phantom either.The only time a fire was mentioned was in "That's The Place That You Ruined, You Fool!", which was a very brief exchange between Fleck and Giry near the beginning ofthe original concept recording for Love Never Dies. I don't believe it was ever included in the London production, but if it was, it was very short-lived.LOVE NEVER DIES - US Tour

I don't know what fire you're referring to."

Oh, you're totally right, I'm mixing up the prologues from Phantom and Love Never Dies. 

I've only seen the London version live, but Iheard the lyric changes from the Australian version and I believe the tour kept those, so if you have seen that version, it should be the same.http://www.metrolyrics.com/beneath-a-moonless-sky-australia-lyrics-love-never-dies-australia.html

I assumed that the line "I stole to your side, tormented by my choice"was in reference to leaving with Raoul in the final lair, and then after said moonlessnight thatthey discuss, the Phantom left and at some point faked his death?

I wouldn't think too hard on it. It's a beautiful show, visually, but the book is and always has been a majorweak spot."

Ha! Not thinking too hard on it might be the best course of action. I'm finding myself in a bit of a love-hate relationship with this show, honestly. It just seems unfortunate to write in a pretty glaring plot hole when it wasn't even there in the first version of the song. I did initially really like the idea that she thought he was dead just as everyone else did, until I realized that this would profoundly change the significance of the events at the end of POTO. Ah, well. I'll try to let it go.
