Writing on his personal blog, Lloyd Webber commented: “I can confirm what I told the studio audience whilst on the set of You’re The One That I Want last week in the US, that I am considering writing a sequel to Phantom of the Opera based on an idea presented to me over a decade ago.”
Phantom of the Opera is one of the world’s most successful shows and holds the record for the longest running musical on Broadway. Last year, a shortened version of the show opened in Las Vegas.
