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.

I have no words for how excited I am for this

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!!!!!!

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. :(

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

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.

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.

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

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!!

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

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.

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.

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

Anonymous

Yay!!! That's the perfect descriptor!

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.

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

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

The King of the Hill reference was perfect

Vladimir Barash

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!

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

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

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.

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

WJ ZAV

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

Matthew Dunne

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

I guess sometimes, a trashfire can be funny too.

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

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

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

... 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.....

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.

Anonymous

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!

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.

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

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