LONDON (AP) Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest musical extravaganza has received a mixed reception from London critics.

Some say "Love Never Dies" a sequel to "Phantom of the Opera" set in a Coney island fun fair is a thrilling ride. Others think it lacks "Phantom'''s menace and its magic.

The Guardian newspaper said Wednesday the show has a seductive score but a lackluster story line. The Times agreed the plot was "dismally implausible."

But The Independent gave it a five-star review, and The Daily Telegraph says it was Lloyd Webber's finest show since the original "Phantom."

"Love Never Dies" is scheduled to open on Broadway in November, and in Australia next year.
