That "Love Never Dies" is written like really bad fanfiction? Think about it: Raoul is a complete asshole, Meg is completely different than she was in the original musical, and Christine is madly in love with Erik. That's all I see in POTO fanfics, and now in "Love Never Dies." I'm sorry, I despise the show completely and can't wait for it to close. Gaston Leroux is rolling around his grave.

No. We are legion.

Have you seen the show or are you basing this on what you've read?

All right, I only read about it, but that doesn't change the fact that it's true and that LND is simply a bad fanfic brought to the stage.

Is it just me, or are ambiguous subject lines really annoying?

Well, I feared the onslaught of rants from Erik/Christine fans, that's why I made the subject line ambigous. I know everyone is annoyed that I made a subject to speak against LND, but I can't help but be a true devoted fan of the original musical and the novel, and feel that the show doesn't deserve to even be on the Broadway stage. I say, stop the previews and LET the love die.

The fact that people feel so strongly about the relationship between two fictional characters perturbs me.

I would happen to agree; but after all- this is Broadway World.com! No one judges a show before they see it. Everyone talks INSERT CENSORED WORD HERE about the Spiderman musical, but they've definitely all seen it.
