Coney Island was an amazing place, the great 8th wonder of the world. The Phantom has gone there and is now the big mogul, running the place. It’s there that our story starts. Andrew discussed the possibilities with Frederick Forsyth who came up with a book but the musical was abandoned. Three years ago he came back becuase here was a germ of an idea there. Working with Ben Elton on a project, he said the original chracaters neeed to be transported so we have all of the five – Raoul, Christine, Meg, Madam Giry and the Phantom they all appear plus we have one new character – Gustav the 10 year old child of Raoul and Christine’s. Ben unlocked it.

Who would be a great lyricist? Glenn Slater. Principals – Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess. The album has already been recorded. Love Never Dies was originally planned to be rolled out to three theatres at ate same time but casting was too difficult, so it’s going to be London in March, New York in November, Canada and the Far East already well planned. Love Never Dies all around the world.

Now the exact dates can be revealed with the expected March and November openings for Love Never Dies in London and New York, and a year for Australia rather than Singapore.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long awaited new musical sequel to the Phantom of the Opera will have its global world premiere in London at the Adelphi Theatre on Tuesday 9th March 2010, followed by New York USA on Thursday 11th November and in Australia in 2011.
