Girls, I went to see Love Never Dies last night and while I loved the original Phantom, the show is not what I would call a  Phantom 2. The plot has a few shocks, but in some ways is reasonably predictable, I did though feel that the end did not leave me with the dramatic imagery of the original Phantom. The music was well structured and the songs told the story well and the Lead, Ben Lewis was amazing, his voice and range just carried the show. The stage production was visually stunning, it did though lack the mystery and suspense of its predecessor. The problem I had was that the Phantom this time seemed to have mellowed, being seen more than not and the mystery and suspense of the first Phantom void in this production. When the show ended I was a little stunned and felt that something was missing, I just can’t put my finger on it. Anyway it is a good night out, and maybe I was expecting far too much. Anyway go have a look and you be the judge.

It’s coming again, one of the biggest Gay and Lesbian festivals in regional Australia and it is in Victoria’s Spa country. ChillOut began back in 1997 over the Labour Day long weekend when a local gay & lesbian business group ran a festival of springs connection at the old winery in Ballan Road with 10 stallholders and about 50 to 100 visitors over a Sunday afternoon. The festival now boasts an attendance of more than 25,000 and 100 stallholders. To find out more go to chillout.com.au. ChillOut runs form the 5th to the 8th of March at Daylesford.
