"So: a hit? Not quite. It is too much an also-ran to the prequel, and its opening is too stodgy. But if it is a miss, it is  like Christine  a noble miss, noble because Lloyd Webbers increasingly operatic music tries to lift us to a higher plane."

I wouldn't call 90% of the show even remotely "operatic."

^ That's not a review, all that says was that the show opened today and there were celebrities in attendance.

Here's Daily Telegraph review: Positive/mixed. But didn't Charles Spencer write all those official books for ALW's shows?
