Andrew Lloyd Webber has confirmed he's writing a sequel to his hit musical "The Phantom of the Opera." The award-winning composer and impresario has announced the new production will be set in New York on a recent video blog. He says, "I will do 'The Phantom of the Opera' sequel, and have met with a couple of people... who persuaded me to do it, who I will not reveal... I can reveal it will be set in New York."

But Lloyd Webber has more pressing immediate matters on his hands before revisiting the story of Christine and The Phantom - his son Nick gets married later today. The composer adds, "It's a very exciting day for me."

According to theatrical news website BroadwayWorld.com, Webber previously noted the Phantom sequel would follow ideas developed with writer Frederick Forsyth, who released a sequel to the show in novel form with The Phantom of Manhattan in 1999. It's not the only new musical Lloyd Webber is working on - the prolific mogul is also planning a theatrical adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's novel "The Master & Margarita."

    I love Phantom, so I'll give the sequel a chance, but I really wish he didnt decide to do a sequel. It might ruin the story

    As a Phantom fanatic, I desire the prospect for a continuing storyline. However, I would love to see the story start not from Christine's death, but to see how her life unfolds after she is saved. However, it would have to star the stars of the movie Phantom of the Opera.....without them it would not work...

    Ok, I am a Phantom finatic, but there is no possible way a sequel to the movie would be any good. The music could be just as wonderful, but what on earth would the story be about? I would watch it, just to give it a chance, but I wouldn't expect it to be any good. Someone needs to slap whoever persuaded A.L.W. to do a sequel.
