Andrew Lloyd Webber has confirmed he's writing a sequel to his hit musical "The Phantom of the Opera." The award-winning composer and impresario has announced the new production will be set in New York on a recent video blog. He says, "I will do 'The Phantom of the Opera' sequel, and have met with a couple of people... who persuaded me to do it, who I will not reveal... I can reveal it will be set in New York."

But Lloyd Webber has more pressing immediate matters on his hands before revisiting the story of Christine and The Phantom - his son Nick gets married later today. The composer adds, "It's a very exciting day for me."

According to theatrical news website BroadwayWorld.com, Webber previously noted the Phantom sequel would follow ideas developed with writer Frederick Forsyth, who released a sequel to the show in novel form with The Phantom of Manhattan in 1999. It's not the only new musical Lloyd Webber is working on - the prolific mogul is also planning a theatrical adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's novel "The Master & Margarita."
