A man stripped naked in the name of art at one of London's most famous landmarks this week, prompting much uproar from the police. The "living sculpture" (who gave his name only as Simon), was ordered to cover up after peeling off on Anthony Gormley's fourth plinth at Trafalgar Sqaure. He had adopted his position on the plinth at 1am, fully clothed and waving, but when left to his own devices, removed his clothing to a crowd of cheers, wolf whistles and laughter.
Andrew Lloyd Webber launched the long-awaited sequel to his global hit Phantom of the Opera last night, which sees the action transfer from Paris to a New York fairground. 'Love Never Dies' was unveiled at Her Majesty's Theatre in London , where 'Phantom' opened 23 years ago this week, launching a theatrical phenomenon which has been seen by some 100 million people worldwide. The new production, which will open next year, picks up the story a decade on as the Phantom has moved from his lair in the Paris Opera House to haunt New York's Coney Island. Iranian-born Ramin Karimloo will star as the Phantom, having already played the role in the "Phantom of the Opera" on the London stage.
