They  can continue tinkering with it and improving it until the cows come home, but it's never going to be very good. I think adding fires and jealous rages would just make it worse. It's already more melodramatic and more DEADly serious than Phantom of the Opera, without which it could not exist.

It does sound like an unlikely subject for a musical, but so, I think,  would a story about deformed man, living under an opera house.

i think if hugh jackman wasnt a hollywood hunk who happens to be good at musical theatre he wouldnt be as  big a deal. . . .

He's a performer who did both musical theater and movies in Australia and in the US and happens to be good at both. He's also a Hollywood hunk who struck it rich in a choice role in a Comic Book/Science Fiction movie series.

I think he's a lot better qualified for Les Mis than Gerard Butler was for the Phantom movie---but I guess that isn't saying a lot.

I saw this in Milton Keynes Nov 23, and had also seen it in Birmigham. I love this production. In fact, I prefer it to the original. The changes in the characters, particularly in that of Raoul, just make the plot make more sense

What changes do you mean?
Could you explain why the plot makes more sense with them?
