Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

Holy shit.

Indeed, a very sad announcement.

Phantom sequel? WTF. I thought Llord Weeber already announced that back in 2000 or so, and then announced he canceled it...

The Phantom sequel has been an on again-off again project ever since the eighties. Unfortunately, it appears to once more be on.
