It looks like after nearly ten years of rumours and whispers through the theatre industry the sequel to The Phantom of the Opera appears to finally be moving forward. According to Richard Ouzounian of the Toronto Star, the news came directly from Andrew Lloyd Webber himself. The title of the musical is said to be Once Upon Another Time, and is scheduled for an October or November 2009 release.


The story, originally conceived by thriller author Frederick Forsyth and further elaborated by Ben Elton, is set in 1906 in New York, here the Phantom runs a freak show at Coney Island and Christine, now married to Raoul, is an opera diva on tour.
