What is Love Never Dies about?
Set in 1907, it is 10 years after his disappearance from the Paris Opera House and the Phantom has escaped to a new live in New York. Living amongst the screaming joy rides and freak shows of Coney Island, he has found a place for his music to soar, but never stopped yearning for his one true love, his musical protegee Christine Daae.
Now one of the world’s finest sopranos, Christine accepts an invitation to travel from Paris to New York to perform at a renowned opera house. At the same time her marriage to Raoul is suffering at the hands of his drinking and gambling and they desperately need the financial rewards that America can give them.
In a final bid to win back Christine’s love, The Phantom lures her, Raoul, and their young son Gustave, from Manhatten to Coney Island not knowing what is in store for them.
Additional lyrics come from Charles Hart, orchestrations by David Gullen and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Love Never Dies is directed by Simon Phillips, with set and costume design by Gabriela Tylesova, choreography by Graeme Murphy and sound design by Mick Potter.
