Musical Hell Review: Love Never Dies
You normally have to go to the darker corners of Fanfiction.net to find a story on the caliber of our next subject. But thanks to Andrew Lloyd Webber and his huge piles of money, Love Never Dies is available on DVD for you to...um, enjoy.
This episode would not have been possible without the input of two generous and talented guys. The first is Roby "TheAbsentCommentator" Johnson, who graciously agreed to cameo on the "Beneath a Moonless Sky" parody. He has a website where he reviews movies, video games, and other various oddities, and you should totally check it out. The next is the amazingly talented Raphael, who wrote the hilariously dirty lyrics to said parody, and also let me borrow one of his drawings as a visual aid. You should also totally check out his website, as well as his latest project "Phantom Fight Club," which uses the Soul Caliber V character creation option to put the characters and creative team of Phantom of the Opera through a no-holds-barred tournament. Because deep in your heart, you've always wanted to see Joel Schumacher getting the crap beat out of him with a flaming skull.

Even More Randomer Crap Than Usual
Two entries in the continuing parade of “musicals based on mid-grade movies” premiered on Broadway this week, Ghost and Leap of Faith. Ghost got some pretty bad reviews, but if I'm honest it looks...interesting. Not great, but something I might see once and file away with all the other vaguely-remembered shows sloshing around my brain. I'll admit to getting all weepy over the movie when it came out, but then again it came out when I was a teenage girl and getting weepy was pretty much what I did back then.
Leap of Faith, on the other hand, got even worse reviews and from the looks of things it deserved them. I can't say any of this preview reel excites me at all. Alan Menken, is this the best you can do? How the mighty have fallen...
And speaking of terrible shows, Love Never Dies still refuses to go gently into the good night of music theater obscurity, lurching along like a zombie searching for a brain (and for basically the same reason). The Det Ny Theatre in Copenhagen announced it would be producing the world's most infamous fan fiction for their 2012 season. On the plus side, translating lyrics like these into another language can only be an improvement:
Finally, my determination to avoid further spoiler footage of Les Miserables has been sorely tempted this week with the news that Universal released a teaser at CinemaCon featuring Anne Hathaway singing “I Dreamed a Dream.” And it's apparently extremely awesome. It hasn't made its way onto the Internet yet, but we all know it's a matter of time. But I'm not going to watch it. I mean it...really...no matter how much I want to...oh dear Lord, it is going to be a long wait until the official trailer, isn't it?
