Love Never Dies: Magnificent Trash

Just remembered Paul Williams, have him playing now. Could you please add 'Phantom Of The Paradise' to consideration for future videos.

John Groves

Every time I watch this video I’m like “oh in a moonless sky sounds pretty good what’s the problem” and then I’m reminded that it’s 8 minutes long and that I’m watching on 2x speed and I’m like… OH

Aurora H.

Knowing now that this is your last video for YouTube, I am proud and honored to have joined the $10 tier a while ago and have my name in this video. You ALWAYS have my support. Always.

Brandon Scott Jensen

this vid will always be one of my favorites, and i wasn't surprised that your essay mentioned that the plan was always to end with Love Never Dies. you are amazing and appreciated lindsay. thank you for everything, wishing you well!

ChloeThePayne

Well said.. I see a lot of people standing up for Lindsay right now. That portion of her letter concerned me. I can't really fathom what she is going through, but I really hope she overcomes it. Her video essays are better than the films she's covering.

... you regret every time you showed any vulnerability - IT GAVE US WISDOM, IT TAUGHT US EMPATHY, IT SHOWED US WE'RE NOT ALONE. WE DON'T REGRET YOU DID ALL THAT......you regret every time you’ve ever stood up for anyone - NATALIE AND SARAH Z DON'T. .....you regret every time you pushed back against something unjust -AS AN ABUSE VICTIM WHO FOUND STRENGTH OR SOLACE IN SEEING YOU DOING THAT, I DON'T. .......you regret every time you ever stood up for yourself - BE KIND TO YOURSELF. YOU DESERVED SOMEONE TO STAND UP FOR YOU. YOU DESERVED COMPASSION FROM YOURSELF. DON'T BE THIS MEAN TO YOURSELF. ALWAYS STAND UP FOR YOURSELF IN YOUR MIND! AND IF NECESSARY,ALSO ON THE OUTSIDE, TO OTHERS.....

please, be kind to yourself.........

You made me care about Phantom. I think I understand Kaveh better now.

I love this dumpster fire so much. Thank you for another fantastic video essay. :)

I guess sometimes, a trashfire can be funny too.

10-YEARS-OOOOOOOOOOOLD!!!! LOL

I think I may have laughed more to this one than I have to any single other video of yours. Good form.

Matthew Dunne

Ahhhh, great :-) So I guess there is also hope for the Directly-Below-the-Enemy-Scrotum Series?

WJ ZAV

I’d say the lyrics aren’t bad, except for who’s singing them.

Liz Walsh

"Give her the gun, stagehand!"

Jon Heiman

I am so stoked for this. I've been re-watching your old videos for the last two months. Seeing a new one drop brings me IMMENSE JOY.

Kait Hatch

Holy shit! Holy shit! Yet again Holy shit! Amazing revelations

Tim Moss

The melody of Beneath A Moonless Sky is ✋😔🔥 but then the lyrics are just 😦😐😯

Davey

I loved this :) Now I am wondering if they'll ever make a threequel... where the Phantom is an aging dad and Gustave meets a brilliant young singer and falls in love. For perfect symmetry, it would have to end with the singer shooting the Phantom!

Vladimir Barash

The King of the Hill reference was perfect

So where's a link to the decade-old fanfic that you said at the end you actually liked?

Marissa Collins

I would LOVE to see you do a video about JCS <3

GripeJuice

Love Never Dies is a lot like The Cursed Child to in terms of feeling like the person the author hired to write it is used the fanfiction version of the original characters rather than the original characters themselves. Love Never Dies is a little more enjoyable, though.

run_away

Yay!!! That's the perfect descriptor!

Emily Karrmarshall

The song with the Phantom and Kid has some weird subtext that has me deeply concerned 😦

I’m holding off to watch this with my kid, but man, it’s gonna tough to wait. I just hope this was as fun to make as it’s going to be to watch.

muddlewait

For a few seconds I thought Lindsay had a secret daughter that she was not on speaking terms with until my stupid brain caught up lmao.

tEn yEArS OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!

Always talking about that damn baby. 🤣🤣🤣 Fantastic callback.

Elysia Fields

These drawings (I'm assuming they're by Angela?) have brought me deep joy on this day.

Shiny Skunk

When I saw the show live, the actor who plays Meg forgot the gun in the final scene and a stagehand had to run out onstage and give it to her. I have NEVER felt my soul leave my body like that. AMAZING video Lindsay!!

Kit Brogden

Wait, no link to that mysteriously good fanfic? (or phanfic, I guess, if you want to keep it old school)

Maria Tostado

Oh man, this feels like such a culmination. I first learned about Love Never Dies through that video you did in the olden days on musical songs about sex, then there was the podcast episode and now, finally, a full video. Rule of threes, I suppose. Argh, and here I go listening to Under a moonless sky. As stupid as it is, I kinda love it.

Liz Jackson

I just told my husband (who does not like musicals) what this show was about. Like many stories far outside his wheelhouse that I tell him about, this one provoked complete sputtering bafflement. Which is all I wanted. Love Musical Hell's take on this one, but yours is the one we need.

Jess Morgan

What I love about your videos is that you click in to a video definitively marked as being about Love Never Dies and then it cold opens with a tangent about the Men In Black movies

Ciara O'Hagan

Given this dropped on P at the same instant as regular YT, and her comment about the credits, I think this may be her last essay. :(

Ariadne L

Oh my goodness!! I have been rewatching your Phantom videos, and even rewatched a favorite of mine for Love Never Dies. I lamented you hadn’t done a video for LND and now see this. THANK YOU! 🤣 I cannot wait to watch this!!!!!!

I have no words for how excited I am for this

Kristen

Shiny Skunk

Rebecca Smoosh

Cassidy Klassen

VocallegraEnby

DK Jones

extremely excited to watch this one after work, feel like I'm TEN YEARS OLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD again

Stormbourne

I ALMOST DROPPED MY PHONE WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION. THE TIME HAS COME!!!!

Gabriel Taylor

Oh, I am so excited for this. I can't watch until tomorrow 😫 My mother is dropping my son off in a few minutes (damn baby). Then I'm going to see the Hadestown tour tonight. No crying over that last part I guess.

Julia Schroeder

Sometimes life is good

Yaaaaas! I was hoping to get a new video this week❤️❤️❤️

Shara

THIS IS WHY I AM A PATRON. Lindsay out here doing God’s work

STOKED! Definitely gonna be my reward for getting through the day. I can’t wait for your takes.

roseforthethorns

Good timing, was just looking for something to listen to at work.

Joshua Mannix

Well, that's tonight sorted then. Yay!
