“Love Never Dies” sounds like a completely ghastly show.

The moment the introduction for “Love Never Dies” started, it annoyed me. Why? Because it is exactly the same melody that Webber used in “The Beautiful Game” for the song, “Our Kind of Love.” I realize that “The Beautiful Game” was not as critically successful as he might have liked, nor could it easily translate outside of the UK, but I find it lazy to simply reuse the same music in a new context. He’s not the first composer to do such a thing (Leonard Rosenman’s scores for “The Lord of the Rings” (1978) and “Star Trek IV” (1986) leap to mind), but it doesn’t make it any more acceptable when it happens.
